The two men had already carried the man to the back door, and they were about to go out.
Reese's eyes widened immediately, and he saw the other person's face clearly. It was James with his eyes closed.
Reese's face changed drastically, she hurriedly turned around, and pushed open the door of the box next to her.
Inside was the man Reese had just entered the bar at night and was joking with James. He was James's friend.
Reese didn't care too much, and said quickly: "Something happened to James!"
After Reese shouted, she rushed towards the back door.
James's friends ran out after him, and the people in the box also ran out.
Reese chased him out, and in the alley behind the bar, the two men were carrying James to the van not far away.
Reese grabbed a mop next to the back door, rushed over as fast as she could, and pointed the mop at one of them, covering her face.
The other party felt sore and smelly from being poked, subconsciously stretched out his hands to cover his face.
James's feet were put on the ground, another person reacted. He drew a knife from his arms, and slashed towards Reese.
Reese quickly took a step back, picked up the mop and subconsciously stabbed at the opponent's knife.
At this time, all James's friends chased him out.
Seeing that the situation was unfavourable, the other party quickly backed away, ignoring James, and rushed directly towards the van.
James's friend chased after them. The two of them had already rushed into the van and drove away.
James was lying on the ground, his eyes were closed, and he opened them slightly with difficulty.
His expression was in a trance. In fact, he was not completely unconscious, but the two soil turtles didn't know what to inject him with. He felt his whole brain was groggy and his nerves were severely paralyzed.
However, this still did not prevent him from seeing the scene of Reese stepping forward.
Holding up a mop, she stalled for him until his friends came out, scaring the two away.
James was delighted and feel so weak. He managed to yell weakly: "Ms. Roberts... Reese!"
Reese quickly threw away the mop and looked down at him.
James friend helped him up with all his might and hurried into the bar.
On the first day of opening, James encountered this kind of thing.
The bar manager was in charge of taking care of the guests. James had obviously been injected with some kind of drugs and was rushed to the hospital.
Ava was also drunk and was lying on the bar.
Reese could only ask James's friend to let her know when James's situation stabilized.
When Reese sent Ava home, she received a call from James's friend, saying that James was fine and woke up once, and James wanted to tell her the specific situation in person tomorrow.
The other party also joked that she was a hero tonight.
Reese took care of Ava to sleep, and then took a taxi back to Hill Crest One Residence
Reese didn't know at all that she saved James. The story of Reese's heroic rescue of James had already been spread in the circle.
She actually wanted to keep a low profile, but James's friends spared no effort to promote her.
After Reese finished speaking, she changed into her slippers and went to the stairs.
As a result, Lukas's deep voice came over: "Can I really stop smoking?"
Reese was startled for a moment, and then realized belatedly that he was answering her own question at the beginning.
She nodded, pursed her lips and said, "It's better to smoke less, smoking is not good for your health!"
Lukas suddenly let out a low laugh. Although he was laughing, his voice was cold and could not hear the slightest hint of happiness: "Do you care about me?"
Reese didn't understand why Lukas was acting weird tonight. She stood in the living room and frowned: "Mr. Strakovski, I'm just telling the truth!"
His words, did not know that Lukas's nerve was stimulated.
He suddenly stood up and stared at Reese with a gloomy expression: "Tell me the truth? You decline my invitation to eat dinner, saying that you were going to drink with friends, but instead went to support the opening of James' Bar?"
Reese finally knew why Lukas did this. He thought she had lied to him.
She couldn't help explaining: "I didn't lie to you. What I said was true. I just chose James's newly opened bar to go with friends..."
Lukas didn't want to listen to her explanation at all, so he interrupted her with a cold voice: "Reese, you can do it! Choosing not to be with me and standing up for other men, huh... The beauty saves her hero. How righteous of you. A loyal friend that is unafraid of death."
Reese couldn't take it anymore, Lukas's tone and expression seemed to be eating himself.
She gritted her teeth: "Mr. Strakovski, calm down, I didn't want to stand up for other men and embarrass you. It's just that under the circumstances at that time, I simply couldn't stand by and watch!"
What's more, James saved her own life. She should have stepped forward, shouldn't she!
Lukas suddenly sneered, his expression extremely angry, as if he wanted to eat Reese alive: "Reese, do you fucking think that I'm only mad at you for my own sake?"
