From Dusk till Dawn!

Chapter 360: Why did you agree?

Mark stood up straight before scanning him from head to toe, "Don't talk if you don't want to," He turned around to leave. What a weird guy! Why was he talking in that tone? It was as if he owed him something."

Just as he took a step to walk away, Ethan grabbed his wrist before tugging him towards himself. Compared to Ethan who was the captain of the special force team, Mark was not that strong physically.

And soon he found himself pinned to the wall, Ethan had one of his hands on the wall next to him while his other hand was still holding his hand. 

Mark struggled against his grip but the man was too strong. Suddenly, he found Ethan's handsome face inching closer to him. The gap between their faces was less than two inches. 

"You… What are you doing?"

When they were dangerously close, Ethan said, "I didn't mean it that way. It's not like what you think... I... I want to talk to you actually. I mean it is not that I don't want to talk to you. I didn't mean to speak in that voice. I just…"josei

Mark tried to push him away but it felt as if he was trying to push a big rock that won't move no matter how he tried. He regretted not learning some fighting tricks from Tang Li before. "Let go of me," He glared at the man.

"Listen to me first," Ethan didn't budge.

But Mark was way too wilful to listen to anyone. He simply didn't give a damn. The more Ethan didn't let him go, the more Mark struggled and because of his continued movements, Ethan's graze past his cheek.

"_" Both the men froze.

Mark took the opportunity to push Ethan. And the latter fell on the floor on his butt due to his absent-mindedness. 

Mark quickly picked up his jacket from the floor before running away as if he was being chased by a ghost.

Ethan sat on the floor with his face supported on his palm as he looked in the direction the man disappeared. "Fuck!!'' He cursed.

The next second, he froze on his spot feeling something hard inside in his pant. Disbelief was written all over his face. What the…!

Mark could feel his face burning as he ran away from the place as fast as he could, "Why is it so hot here?" His silver hair has gone all messy because of how many times he raked his fingers through them. 

''That crazy pervert. Dammit…What the hell! Was I just taken advantage of!?" He cursed himself for the umpteenth time for not learning some self-defense before.

"Hey bro, what's up?" Si Xiu stood up as soon as she saw Mark walking towards them in a disheveled condition.

Mark paused to look at her, "I…It's nothing," He said.

"Why are you so red in the face? Are you sick?" She asked curiously.

Mark patted his cheeks to reduce the heat rising his neck. He could feel embarrassment washing over him the moment he thought about what just happened. Luckily…Luckily, this was the VIP floor and luckily nobody recognized him, or else he would have searched for a hole to hide inside.

"Hey, bro? You there?" Si Xiu waved her hand in front of the man, whose face was a shade darker than tomato.

"I…"

Before he could speak, the door to the VIP ward opened and Mo Yuhan walked out. Although his suit was a bit crumpled, but his aura did not differ from his usual self. 

He walked towards the trio. 

Li Yu stood up at his arrival.

"Take care of her," Mo Yuhan spoke up, "I'll make arrangements. Leave this place as soon as she recovers."

The trio was speechless. Leave? Given how stubborn Tang Li is, would she agree to leave?

"But would Young Mistress agree to leave here?" Li Yu asked.

"She will," Mo Yuhan took a few steps before pausing again, "This is your last chance. She is the one you are working for, don't forget it," he coldly said before taking large strides and disappearing from the empty corridor soon after.

Even though he did not mention the name, Li Yu knew that the warning was for him. He could feel a chill running down his spine at the coldness in the man's voice. 

And he soon realized one thing. He was not forgiven. It was so foolish of him to think that the man who was known as the devil would forgive him that easily. Given how many years he has known his boss, he understood that the reason why he was spared the first time was because of his capabilities and loyalty. And this time, he was spared because of Tang Li. 

One more mistake, and the consequences were something he could not imagine.

Si Xiu patted his shoulder, "Hey, don't be depressed, alright? Just do your work properly and don't be rude to co..cough...President Tang."

Li Yu nodded. He didn't need to be told twice. And after Tang Li slapped him, he already thought things over and realized that he was wrong from the very beginning.

"Hey stop with that PDA already," Mark spoke in utter disgust, "Didn't you both hear what he said? Kara agreed to leave. Let's go and ask her about it."

As much as he knew his best friend, she was so stubborn. This time, she has just briefed him about the matter, and although he didn't know what was going on but he was sure that Tang Li would not give in.

He was curious as to how Mo Yuhan managed to convince her about it.

He pushed open the door, "Kara, why did you agree...." He paused as he looked at the sleeping figure on the bed.

But due to how loud his voice was, Tang Li stirred awake. She squinted and blinked a few times before she noticed that the other side of the bed was empty. 

Noticing her blank gaze, Mark said, "He left."

"He sure did."
