True Love Waits

Chapter 1352 Our Master And Lady

Erica shouted at the men who were watching her, "Hey, I want to go to the bathroom!"

"We will accompany you," one of the men replied casually. He nodded at the man standing nearby. The sound of footsteps echoed in the otherwise quiet yard as both men approached her.

Disgust reflected in her expression at the thought. She shook her head and spat out, "I won't use your bathroom. I'm going to my house!"

"Bitch, are you looking for trouble? If this bathroom sickens you, don't go at all!" one of the men yelled.

Fury coursed through Erica, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Who the hell are you to call me bitch? Do you believe that you can stop me? I don't care what you think or say. I'm going to the bathroom in my house now!"

A screeching sound filled the room as Erica pushed her chair back and stood. Without giving the men a chance to respond, she marched toward the door.

The commotion alerted Pike, who rushed into the yard. His brows shot up in astonishment, and he shouted, "What are you doing?"

The man who was about to hit Erica replied at once, "Pike, this woman is making trouble. She insists on going to the bathroom in her house."

"That's not worth all this noise. You five can go with her and make sure she stays out of trouble!" Pike ordered impatiently.

"Yes, sir!"

With a victorious smirk, Erica walked out of the yard. The five ruffians hustled to keep pace with her as she headed for her home.

A few moments later, they passed a dark alley. Erica, who was ahead of the men, suddenly turned, pointed in a direction, and exclaimed, "Hey, look! What is that?" Reflexively, everyone looked in the direction where she had pointed. "What?"

When the men didn't see anything unusual, they frowned and turned to question Erica. However, she was gone. With widened eyes, they searched for her. Someone yelled when they saw a figure run into a nearby alley. One of the five men, who was bald, cursed, "Damn it! You two go back and report to Kirk. The rest of us will chase her!"

"Yes!"

Erica's heart beat wildly in her chest as she sprinted through the alley, scaled a wall, and disappeared into the darkness.
