“This medicine is imported. Take a couple pills a day. It might make a difference.”
Bruce picked up the bottle and scrutinized the label. It was from Khiten.
“Appreciated.”
Just then, Mavis sighed audibly.
“What’s eating you?” Bruce’s brows knitted together.
“I need to use the restroom,” Mavis declared. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Gritting her teeth, she knew she had to break free from Bruce’s control today. Otherwise, he’d drag her back to that forsaken base where her screams would fall on deaf ears, with no one to come to her aid.
Bruce glanced at his glass filled with a yellow liquid, and a wave of nausea washed over him.
“I really can’t wait much longer,” Mavis groaned.
“Are you pulling a fast one?” Bruce gave her a skeptical look.

“No, I’m serious. Let me go, or I’ll end up soiling myself,” Mavis begged.
Harlan leaned casually against the wall, smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone at the same time. Marcus had already left.
Bruce led Mavis out of the room and towards the public toilet.
“Mavis, if you’re in such a hurry to use the toilet, why do you keep dawdling?” Bruce scolded angrily.
He had just untied her and pushed her towards the restroom in the private room, but she refused to go in because there were two men present. She dared to ask to use the restroom outside.
Bruce gritted his teeth and suppressed his desire to strangle the woman. After a deep breath, he escorted her out.
Mavis knew that even without the rope around her wrists, she wouldn’t be able to escape with the two men in the room. She had to find another way. She had to find a way to blend into the crowd in order to have a chance at escaping, and this was it.
To her disappointment, Bruce roughly tied her up again.
“Bruce, you scoundrel! I don’t understand why Judie likes you!” Mavis cursed angrily as he mishandled her.
Both Mavis and Judie belonged to the upper class of Preagend, and were acquainted with each other.
The mention of Judie distracted Bruce for a moment, but he quickly shook himself back to reality. He tightly secured the rope around her wrists and retorted, “I didn’t ask her to like me. You should be more concerned about your own well-being.”
Mavis couldn’t believe the man. He didn’t deserve to be treated so well by Judie. She huffed angrily and complained, “How am I supposed to use the restroom with my hands tied?”
He had untied the rope when they were inside the box, but not outside.
“I’ll untie it in front of the restroom door and wait for you just in front of it. So, don’t think you’ll have a chance to escape, because you won’t,” Bruce answered curtly.
