Arranged Marriage: Beneath The Rumors

Chapter 15: Who Is Your Employee

Just then, Kelly's phone vibrated in her purse. "I need to take this call; my parents are calling," Kelly said before moving aside.

Lisa and Didi nodded and didn't pay attention to the foolish stranger anymore. They just rested in their car, looking around the venue.

The man walked towards Lisa. "Hey, beauty, my boss wants to speak with you," the man said, pointing to a car not far from theirs.

Lisa and Didi looked in the direction of the car and saw a black luxurious car not far away.

"Guys, I am so sorry I can't spend time with you today. Something just came up, and my parents are asking me to come back quickly," Kelly said pleadingly before rushing towards her car and leaving.

Lisa and Didi still stood there with confused expressions. They glared at the stranger who was still standing with them, then with a cold face and anger, turned and entered their car before driving away.

The man went to his boss's car. "Boss, they left," the guard said with a cold face.

"You can come in," the boss said to his bodyguard.

"Beauty, we will meet again," the boss said with a grin on his face.

Mera said with a calm but angry face, "Ha, mum, those bad guys just called. They said that Lisa just left the bidding venue," Mera said as she paced and turned around in the living room.

Mrs. Claire sat on the couch with an angry expression. "Have they started chasing after them already?"

"Yep, what will they be waiting for if not to chase after that brat immediately?" Mera said, sitting down on the sofa and picking up her drink.

Exhausted but triumphant, Lisa and Didi drove away from the bidding venue. As they hit the highway, Lisa noticed a car tailing them.

"Didi, I think we're being followed," Lisa said, her voice laced with concern.

Didi glanced in the rearview mirror. "That black sedan has been behind us since we left the venue."

Lisa's instincts kicked in. "Let's lose them."

Didi sped up, weaving through traffic, but the sedan kept pace. They tried to shake it off, taking sharp turns and sudden lane changes, but the sedan clung to their bumper.

Suddenly, the sedan swerved, blocking their path. Lisa's heart raced as four men emerged, their faces twisted with malice.

One of them growled, "Get out of the car."

Lisa and Didi exchanged terrified glances. They knew they had to escape.

As the sedan blocked their path, Lisa and Didi's hearts sank. But just as the men were about to pounce, a sleek black Bentley swooped in, blocking the sedan.

A group of towering bodyguards, their suits straining against their massive physiques, leaped out of the Bentley. With precision and skill, they took down the would-be kidnappers, their movements a blur of muscle and menace.

The bad guys, realizing they were outmatched, cowered and pleaded for mercy immediately.

The bodyguards, their faces expressionless, continued to pummel and subdue them until they were sure the threat was neutralized.

One of the bodyguards, clearly the leader, approached Lisa and Didi's car. "Are you ladies okay?" he asked, his deep voice gentle.

Lisa and Didi, still shaken, nodded in unison. "Yes, thank you," Lisa said.

The bodyguard smiled. "You're safe now. My employer sent us to protect you."

Didi's eyes widened. "Your employer? Who's that?"
