Gloria was stunned. She glanced at James." Who is that?"
James was also stunned. "It's a woman’s voice and she called you Gloria, so she should be someone close to you."
Gloria sighed softly. "I have lived here for a few years, but I barely made any friends. I don't have that many people that would come to my house. It's only that few.
However, I don't find that voice familiar at all."
"Why don't I go out to have a look with you? " James felt that if it truly was a stranger who had come to trick Gloria or whatnot, then he truly may be useful. Maybe he would even be able to take his relationship with Gloria a step further. He could not help but feel extremely happy.
Gloria nodded. "Mm-hmm." Immediately after that, she looked at James gratefully." Mister Dunn, if you weren't here, I truly would not know what to do when someone knocks on my door so late at night."
James and Gloria went out of the door together, and then he gently used his hand t o stop Gloria. "I will be here in the future. I won't let you be afraid."
Gloria smiled at him gratefully. Both of them walked out to the gate of the courtyard together and opened it. Gloria was instantly dazed. "Angie, h-how come it’s you? Your voice is usually not like this. Why is your voice hoarse today?"
The so-called Angie was actually a person the police had deliberately sent to protect Gloria. Gloria and Angie had already discussed and came up with a plan in advance in order to prevent James from refusing to leave Gloria's house at a certain time.
"Gloria, don’t bring it up..." Angie burst into tears.
"What's the matter? What's wrong? Why are you crying? What happened to you?" Gloria helped Angie into the house.
While supporting Angie, Gloria said to James, "James, this is one of my very few best friends. We often practice dancing together and discuss the artistic styles of dancing and so on. She usually doesn't sound like this when she talks. Her voice is very pleasing to the ears and very beautiful. She is not that old. She is only forty this year, so she is almost the same age as you. "
James had an unconcealable awkwardness and dissatisfaction on his face. He then brushed her off by saying, "0 h, is that so?"
When Gloria heard him brushing her like that, she sneered. Both Gloria and Angie looked at each other and they immediately understood what they had on their mind. Gloria then pretended that she did not hear the awkwardness and dissatisfaction in James' tone, and she turned around to continue comforting Angie. "Angie, what’s the matter? Who bullied you? Tell me. I will back you up. I have made another friend and he is a man. In the future, if we have any troubles, my male friend can help back us up!"
