My Fake Boyfriend is My Stepbrother

Chapter 4.Bar

My cold, numb body was suddenly wrapped in warm, strong arms, and I didn't react for a moment as the low voice rang over my ears.

"Are you such a big man that this young lady can push you around? You're not trying to use this to get away with sexually assaulting this young lady, are you?"

The pervert on the ground showed a stunned expression as he saw a man step forward, and his expression cringed, "I told you there's no evidence!"

"Who said there was no evidence?" The man behind me laughed contemptuously and raised his hand to shake the cell phone in his hand, still pausing to tap on the photo.

I turned my head to get a better look at the photo, but the man's hot, broad palm squeezed my arm suggestively, and I was surprised to calm down.

Seeing that the pervert was still struggling, the man continued, "Why don't we just take this down to the police station, how about that?"

This time the pervert completely panicked, he suddenly got up violently from the ground on his hands and knees and bumped into the man at the car door, it turned out that he was aiming at the stop to escape.

"Are you going after him? I can help you catch him."

The man walked up to me and bent down slightly to look at me, I pursed my lips and hesitated for a few seconds before shaking my head and thanking him earnestly.

"Sir, thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done without your evidence and your step forward." I just realized how hoarse my voice was.

The people around us began to disperse when they saw no new developments in the matter.

The man was about to open his mouth when two girls, not very old, came up next to me and one of them said to me with an apologetic look on her face, "Excuse us, miss, forgive us, I'm so sorry for what just happened and we're really, really sorry that we didn't stand up for you, we're available to testify if you need us."

The other girl chimed in, "I'm very sorry."

I could understand their concern, women's shackles are everywhere and I couldn't force anything, and it was pretty nice of them to tell me they could testify for me now.

I said, "Thank you guys, but I don't want to waste my time or yours on garbage like him, it's not worth it. I saw that they were still trying to insist and added, "That's okay if I want to arrest him, this gentleman has the evidence to help me.

They looked at each other in disbelief and had to leave.

"Sit here." The man walked over to the edge of the seat and motioned for me to sit down.

Suddenly rushed, I squirmed a little and sat down next to him.

"You're very brave."

The man's compliment was sincere and I was flattered.

"Thank you."

The air fell silent.

"I'll kick his ass for you."

The man's confident tone made me chuckle softly; I thought he was joking, after all, the man had gotten away.

He raised his eyebrows and looked directly at me, "Bryce."

I looked up unexpectedly, not expecting him to take the initiative to tell me his name.

"I'm Amanda," I began, anticipating what we were going to talk about.

However, he didn't react much and returned to his usual cold demeanor, just looking at me quietly.

I ran out of things to say, "You ride this line every day too?"

"Uh-huh." He smiled vaguely and stopped looking at me.

Of course, he rode this subway every day, how else would I have met him.

He was laughing at me for asking such a stupid question, right? I looked down to hide the unnatural expression on my face, my fingers unconsciously intertwined.

When we arrived at the station, he walked out with me, stopping at the subway entrance with no intention of leaving.

I hesitated, but spoke up anyway, "Mr. Bryce, I'll go first."

The man was silent for a moment and simply said, "Take care on your way.”

"Goodbye."

It was meant to be, I guess.

I walked for a while, waiting for the red light, when I turned to look at him, tall, he was looking down at his cell phone, couldn't see the expression on his face.

He seemed to feel something and looked up in my direction, I quickly turned around to follow the green light queue, and almost broke my foot, I forgot to change my shoes because I was so worried about looking at the handsome man.

I almost broke my foot because I forgot to change my shoes.

When I got home, I kicked off my boots, threw open my bag, poured a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp, then lay down on the couch and breathed a long sigh of relief.

I closed my eyes, but my brain was not calm, messy back to what just happened, helplessly reached to the bottom of the bag, turned off the cell phone, and sent a message to Nancy.

-I just got sexually harassed on the subway.

-Oh my God! You're okay!

Nancy replied within seconds, and I guessed she was swiping through short videos.

-I'm fine. I'm home now. Some guy helped me.

-That's good. Was it that handsome, good-looking guy?

-You could have guessed.

-Ha ha ha ha, so romantic. We need to exchange contact information and start dating.

-Ummm.

-Oh, my God.

-What the hell! You didn't exchange contact info? I'm going crazy!

-(madness)

-(madness)

-Calm down.

-I don't care. You'll ask tomorrow!

-And I'm coming back tomorrow to stay with my parents. Come for a drink when you're free. (Kisses)

-Okay. (Kisses)

It's been a long time since I've seen Nancy. We shared some interesting stories and said good night.

The next day on the subway, of course, I didn't do anything, just stood silently next to her. I think it won't be long before the two of us don't cross paths again, after all, the world is changing fast.

The morning work was almost finished, I took a cup of latte, and Cassie chatted, she was called to a meeting in the morning and, at this moment was unable to hold back her desire to share, and I spit out the content of the meeting.

"That CEO this period of time to this unclean department a good whole, but is not about our business, the supervisor called me to the meeting, I think it is to warn me, otherwise how to call me not to call you, eh ah I also know that I am a little loose".

Cassie frowned and then suddenly changed to a mysterious expression, "Do you know about a guy who got beat up yesterday? It was in the neighborhood."

I shook my head and she continued, "Someone found him in an alley before dawn, bloodied and unconscious, so scared that passersby thought he was dead, he was taken to the hospital and woke up claiming he broke his head in a fall. Strange, I heard he had a few hundred dollars on him. Let's see, it's someone who's offended.“

I don't have much interest in that sort of thing, but it happens in the neighborhood, so it's better to be careful.

Today I agreed with Nancy to go out tomorrow night to one of the famous bar streets, one of which was called the Thorn Rose and had a huge black rose entwined with thorns and an illuminated sign in front of the establishment we used to frequent.

The next day after work I waited for Nancy to meet me at the door, and from a distance I saw her waving to me, her makeup was exquisite, but her outfit was casual, as if she had just thrown it on.

I was a little confused because Nancy always stressed matching. She rushed over and hugged me, "Amanda!"

"It's been a long time, Ms. Nancy from Around the World." I laugh.

Nancy doesn't make a sound, her body shaking. Feeling strange, I look sideways and see a steady stream of tears flowing from the corners of her tightly closed eyes.

"Nancy, what happened? Why are you crying?" I run down her back and comfort her gently.

"Oooh ...... me, me." She was crying so hard she couldn't speak.

"Okay, okay, later." I took out a tissue and wiped away her tears.

When Nancy finally calmed down, she said, "Let's go to dinner first.

We settled on a Mexican restaurant near the office and ordered beef tacos, chicken tacos, and nachos.

The restaurant was filled with upbeat Spanish songs, and Nancy said, "...this time I'm back because I was at Steven's wedding this afternoon."

"What? Steven?" I was very shocked, Steven is Nancy's first love, they have been in love for three years, a few months ago they had a fight about getting married, Nancy didn't want to get married so soon, but Steven's parents wanted them to get married and have children quickly. For Steven to calm down and think things through, she packed up and went to work in another country for a while.

"I didn't realize he thought I was doing this as a breakup, and I never said a word about a breakup from the beginning to the end. If it wasn't for a friend of mine who saw him and this girl on a date, I'm afraid they'd have a baby and I wouldn't even know it."

I furrowed my brow and said, "Steven, this guy is too weak-minded to mention the breakup and too much of a listener to his parents, every time you fight with him it's because of his parents.

Speaking of his parents Nancy got angry, "You didn't see their faces, it's disgusting, as soon as they saw me they looked disgusted, accusing me of bringing their son down, making their son's life not go well, my God, what a couple, no, three oddballs, Steven looked at me like a rabbit looking at an eagle, he almost fell off the stage, I'm ashamed for that girl."

"And you..."

"I smiled, of course, and pushed her cake down without anyone seeing, haha."

According to Nancy's nature, I find it abnormal that she didn't do anything, she had a face of I don't care, but I could see the sadness in Nancy's eyes, three years of relationship didn't dissipate as easily as my five years.

After dinner, it was almost nine o'clock, and we had to take the subway a few more stops to get to Bar Street.

The resident singer at the Thorn Rose was singing a love song, Nancy pulled me over to the bar and ordered two dry martinis.

I couldn't see anyone else in the dim light, so I took my time enjoying the moment of letting go while making small talk with Nancy, but I ended up watching the resident singer sing and not looking at Nancy, and I don't know when she ordered a Tequila Sunrise and a Whiskey Sour, which were almost ready.

"Nancy, God!" I saw that she was about to fall out of her chair and rushed to help her.

I was trying to figure out how to get her out of there when an eyeless man approached me.

"Aren't you bored alone, beautiful, do you want to play together?"

I pulled up the corner of my mouth and said, "Sorry no need, I'm not alone."

"Why don't you go with your friend, it'll be a great crowd."

The look in his eyes reminded me of the man who harassed me on the subway, just as slimy. I refused again, "No.

I refused again and again, and his face fell, he even wanted to take my hand.

At this point, Nancy, who had been lying motionless next to me, suddenly sat up, grabbed the water in front of her, and immediately splashed the man with it, righteously shouting, "Don't bully her!”

My mouth was open and I looked at Nancy in shock, her eyes closed.

The man was furious and cursed at Nancy, "b***h!what are you doing!"
