Disappointed with herself, Nancy walked around outside the classroom alone. After class, Edward approached her with a smile. "I asked you to come close and sit by my side. Why didn't you move?"
It was the second time that she met Edward, and later on, Edward always helped her take a seat in this professor's class.
The two grew closer to each other as the days went by. They became inseparable.
It was a beautiful past, wasn't it?
As the thought of this, tears welled up in Nancy's eyes. She lowered her head and thought that after this night, she might not see Edward, Charles and her children again...
"You are such a good girl, Nancy!" The man's voice was full of pity.
"Do you know me too?" Wiping her tears away, Nancy continued, "All the men here can call out my name, but no one can help me leave this place. Men are wicked!"
Yes, if someone was willing to help her, he only needed to tell Charles or call the police after he left here. Then Nancy would be saved.
But since every man who came here was afraid that his scandal would be exposed, they all pretended that nothing had happened. They turned a blind eye to every woman's misery.
Or perhaps it had become a place for men to have fun, and they all thought that no woman had the right to ask them a favor, let alone leave this place.
That was the reason why Nancy didn't have faith in this man in front of her. She couldn't hope that this man would help her because her heart couldn't take another disappointment.
"Nancy, you lost weight." The man suddenly took her hand and gently stroked it.
Instinctively, Nancy withdrew her hand, but the man held it tighter. He slowly opened her palm and wrote "Edward" on it using his forefinger.
Startled, Nancy looked up at the man's face.
She had never seen such a face, but she was not unfamiliar with it. What happened?
"You are..." At this moment, she wanted to call out Edward's name, but she didn't. There was a camera in this room, and their every move was monitored by this club's facilitators.
"I'm your owner today. Take good care of me, Nancy. I have a lot of money." Then he took out stack of money and shook it in front of Nancy.
At this moment, Nancy didn't know what to do. If it was Edward, then he was wearing a mask.
If it wasn't Edward... Either way, she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that she would meet another weird man again.
Everything could happen here.
She'd better be careful!
Seeing Nancy's troubled face, the man threw the money on the tea table and sat on the sofa. "Come on, have a drink with me."
Step by step, Nancy walked over and sat down beside him.
"Add some ice to the whiskey. I like it that way." The way he said those words was like giving Nancy a clue.
To say Nancy was shocked was an understatement. As far as she could remember, Edward liked adding ice cubes to his whiskey. When he was abroad, ice cubes were always stored in Edward's fridge.
Was this man suggesting something to her?
There was a flash of excitement in Nancy's heart, but she didn't dare to say anything. If this was Edward, then she shouldn't do something to ruin her chance to escape. "Okay, sir."
With a flushed face, Nancy skilfully added ice to his whiskey and politely gave it to him. "Please enjoy it."
The man took it and raised it in front of her. "Thanks. Would you like some?"
"I... I'm not good at drinking, so I'd better drink some champagne." The man had revealed his true identity. He was Edward. No matter how excited Nancy was, she didn't dare to show it. She could only follow Edward's orders.
