episode 4

" It's okay miss don't be afraid. "

A man in front of her said. She slowly opened her eyes after hearing the deep voice of a man. She was shocked when she found all five hooligan men laying on the ground.

Stella stunned from what she's seeing. A tall man appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

" What happened? " She asked.

" I don't think you're the one to ask that lady. "

He said blatantly. Looking at Stella's afraid expressions, he reached out his hand to help her stand up. He then fixed his tilted watch on his right wrist.

At the same time another man in his middle age, wearing black suit with his muscular appearance is kicking one of the bodies from the ground.

" They probably won't be able to move a muscle for the next three days. "

" By now, miss, I'm pretty sure that you learned your lesson. You can't just wander around at this place at this hour. Unless you- "

" Thanks! Thank you. ...I wouldn't know what could have happened to me if you guys weren't here. "

She said while staring on the ground preventing her own tears from falling.

" It won't be long for the cops to come here. "

The fine tall man said. He stares at her and starts to think that she's crying. Stupid girl... to think that you wander around here without a single thought of these kinds of men. That is his thought before he caresses her hand and begins to walk.

" Let's get out of here first. The Cops will do the rest for these assholes here. "

He said as he gently dragged her hand with him.

" What's your name lady. "

He asks as she hasn't been saying anything since they left.

" W-Where are you taking me? " She asked.

They finally stopped and they were standing under a light post. It didn't take much effort for her to realize that they are in the park.

" Young-- uh.. I mean b-boss! I'm afraid we have to go. "

The man in a black suit said as he wiped his sweat on his forehead. He was his bodyguard also his butler.

Damn... please don't give me that glare young master I don't like to die tonight. He added through his thoughts while giving a withered face.

The young master he's referring to is glancing at her.

He notices that she's trembling.

Deep inside he knows that she's still in shock. Damn... So girls are truly weak beings. Now what?

Stella felt much better when she found the place is now familiar.

I wasn't aware where I've been after a long way running for my life. She thought to her self.

" Better now? Aight, time for us to go then. "

The fine tall man said as he turns away and starts to walk.

" W-Wait! I'm sorry!"

" Stella! My name is Stella... "

She hurriedly said. " T- Thank you very much for the help, I owe you one... "

" Ellerick. " He slightly turns his head.

" My name is Ellerick. "

" Right. ...uh Thanks Ellerick. "

He heard, then he turned and saw her completely pretty face somewhat smiling at him. He felt a sudden weird throb from his chest.

" Where do you live? I can take you there. " He said without looking at her.

She then finally remembered Shelly who let her run in the opposite direction earlier to escape.

" Oh no... Shelly! I almost forgot Shelly! "

She stares at him and grabs his right wrist.

" Can you help me find my friend? "

He flicked when she touched her.

" The who- "

His butler hurriedly wanted to intervene.

" Uh... Miss sorry you can't - "

" It's fine. " As he raised his left hand as a sign.

"We were together when those guys chased us. Although they stop chasing her I still want to make sure she made it. "

She said with a hurriedly worried tone.

" Are you talking about that lady?? "

He said nonchalantly while his eyes are pointing at three people approaching them from a distance. "

" Stella! "

It was shelly with the two policemen. Shelly's running towards Stella with a teary eyes and relief expression. They hug each other out of their solace when they finally reach.

Inside the car. His butler is glancing at him in the mirror as he has kept silent since they left. He's sitting with posture but his eyes are closed.

Weird... The young master doesn't let anyone touch him especially women. Last time a girl touched him, he blamed me for it. He thought to him self while driving. Another withered expression drawn to his face.

" Focus on the road Clark. I don't plan on dying in a car accident. "

He said while his eyes are still closed.

" Y-yes young master. "

H-how did he know? Confusedly added to him self as he starts to focus his attention towards the road.

In Ellerick's thoughts, he remembered his encounter with Stella.

After telling Clark he was bored. He went to the ground floor of the building.

He saw glimpses of Stella's face while running, the bright moon ray made her face vividly beautiful. As her body is moving fast, her dress tightens into her body shape.

He was inside the ground floor of the building where he was invited there to a party. The whole wall made of transparent glass allows him to witness the outside.

She was being chased by a group of men. Before he knows it, he's chasing after the group of men. He doesn't know what made him act instantly but he just followed his instinct. When they finally stopped, he saw Stella was trapped in the alley. He frowned as he approached them.

Snapping out of his thoughts, he opened his eyes and breathed deeply.

" Check on that woman. Let me know what's her existence doing here in this City. "

" Yes, Young master. "

Although he's soul almost outrun his body Clark replied.

T-That startled me! He said to himself. What does he mean? Does he just want me to check her tomorrow if she's completely fine? Or does he want me to check her whole background? He added to his thoughts. Either way, this is the first time he's getting an interest in a woman.
