Chapter 6: Tie your hands
Suddenly, the door barged open and a man in black suit entered the book cafe. Both Layla and Ruby turned their gazes to the door.
"You can't enter the shop since it's closed. Did you not check the banner outside?" Ruby told the man.
"I am here for Madam Layla," the man said in a deep voice.
"Me? Why? Who are you?" Layla questioned him as she rose to her feet. "Don't tell me that Lucius has sent you here," she asserted.
"Please follow me," the man said.
"I'm not going anywhere. Tell your master that he can't make me work according to his will," Layla asserted.
"Really, Layla?" Lucius's deep husky reached her ears. The man stepped aside, giving the way for Lucius to get in. "I thought I owned you," he proclaimed, closing the distance between them and holding her chin firmly.
Layla blinked rapidly. She wanted to say NO right away, but words didn't come out of her mouth. She just peered into his deep, ocean-blue eyes, getting lost in them.
"Let's leave," Lucius said and the next moment he carried Layla in a bridal style.
Ruby covered her mouth with her both hands with wide eyes. Lucius wasn't an old man, but a perfect definition of handsome man with some charms which could bring women on her knees in front of him.
"Let me go, Lucius. I'm at my friend's place," Layla said as she pressed her hands on his chest.
