Then, Iris saw how Louis and the rest of the men were holding their crotches and whimpering in pain.
Scared and confused, she scurried to Levi’s side.
She asked, “D-did you save me?”
Smiling, he nodded and replied, “Yeah. Of course I was the one who saved you.”
Glancing around, she could not help disbelieving him. “Impossible! There’s no way you’re my savior!”
He frowned at her words.
Is there something wrong with this woman? Does she see anyone else around here?
“It must be the big boss! Yes, he must have rescued me!” she cried out in agitation.
Speechless and annoyed, he muttered, “Yeah, that’s right. He was the one who saved you.”
Technically, he was the big boss, so what she said was true.
“Is he here?” she asked eagerly while scanning the room.
“Nope. The men he sent here have already left. He told me to take you back home.”
“Alright then, let’s go!”
As Iris moved to take a step forward, her knees buckled, and she couldn’t walk an inch. Then, she turned to look at Levi helplessly.
Shaking his head wryly, he mumbled, “How troublesome.”
In the end, he had no choice but to carry her on his back.
Before he left, he made sure to confiscate Louis’ phone.
Sprawled against his back, she felt oddly warm and safe.
Maybe he’s not such a bad person after all.
Even though the person who had saved her was the big boss, the one who was bringing her away from this hell was still Levi.
She burst into tears when she recalled how her secret was still in Louis’ hands.
As if realizing what she was crying about, he handed her a briefcase.
When she saw the contents of the bag, her tears stopped.
No wonder Zoey refused to let him go no matter what.
After sending Iris back home, Levi went back as well.
“Hmm? Why do I smell a woman’s perfume on you? And blood?” Zoey’s sharp nose immediately detected these unusual smells.
“Huh? Really?” He did not smell anything.
“You even have a woman’s hair on you!” she accused as she plucked a long hair from his shirt.
He hurriedly explained, “It belongs to Iris!”
“Why were you two so close?” She puffed her cheeks up in anger and glared at him. Jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She did not care that it was her best friend; nobody was allowed to be in such close contact with him!
“I-I…”
He did not know what to say. He wanted to explain what had happened, but Iris had insisted he keep her secret.
“I see. Can’t explain it, can you? Well, since you two are so intimate with each other, we should get a divorce! You can go live with her then!”
