“This is a public space, and my children are right here. I'm not interested in you, so please stop bothering me and leave.” Roxanne's attitude turned cold as she stared at the man emotionlessly.
Even though she was sitting, meaning she didn't have the high ground, her demeanor was imposing.
The man was stunned by her warning for a few seconds before snapping back to his senses. He was feeling a little apprehensive, but he couldn't resist the temptation, so he stubbornly refused to back down. “Fine, I won't continue here. How about you give me your phone number? We can continue to chat privately.”
Roxanne glared at him with disdain. “If you still refuse to leave, I'll call the staff to chase you away!”
The man looked around and saw the nearest staff was quite far away. Hence, he tried to take her phone by force.
A small hand grabbed it before he did.
Roxanne looked at her child with slight surprise. What is he trying to do?
“I'm going to call Daddy and let him handle this! The swimming pool has surveillance cameras. My daddy won't let you go for harassing my mommy!” Archie earnestly flipped through the contacts on her phone.
She became silent. Ah, so he's trying to scare this man away by saying that.
The man was still standing there stubbornly, as though he wasn't going to leave until he achieved his goal.
Archie stared at the man with a tense and fierce expression. “My daddy is a CEO! He's very powerful! Just wait and see!”
He then half-intentionally let the man see Lucian's contact on Roxanne's phone.
The man was shocked.
The reason he worked at a nearby gym was that he wanted to hook up with rich women. It was why he did plenty of research on famous families in Horington.
He knew in an instant that Roxanne was someone living in the neighborhood. So, he didn't suspect what Archie said, especially because of her temperament, and started feeling fearful. I can't believe I accidentally messed with Lucian's woman!
Roxanne panickily glanced at her child when she heard what he said, too. Why did he use Lucian's name to protect us? Is this a coincidence? I can't tell if he's just trying to use Lucian's name to scare this man off or if he already knows about his background.
