Chapter 16: Chapter 16

"Karin is get a job. But I don't know what the job is or the place she is working, I don't know where she is. Karin never want to tell me," said Silvi to Vian.

"I don't know either. I just heard a noise there, I think s she's having trouble at work," said Vian. His voice sounded worried.

"How this it? We have to find her," said Silvi who was also worried.

"I'll be looking for her soon," said Vian.

"Okay, I'll also look for her. We have to find her quickly. Hopefully nothing happens to her," said Silvi. Vian agreed. Silvi hangs up and she asks her boss for permission to leave because of urgent family matters.

While in the cafeteria, Karin was with Mr. Han. That man kept forcing her to drink. Karin didn't want to do it, even so she had no other choice and she didn't want to quit from her job. Master Han then also to sit with her.

"Let's drink, you have to finish it!" the man ordered again after pouring back the beer. Karin complied and drank the beer.

The people around her all laughed and cheered and encouraged Karin to drink again. Mr. Han then returned to pouring another drink for Karin and the girl obeyed.

It wasn't long before Karin, who was drunk, felt someone touching her thigh. She immediately pushed that hand away. Mr. Han, who was sitting beside her, was the one who did this. She then again fell the touch of her body, but now she is almost unconscious due to the influence of alcohol. Even so, Karin still tried to ward off Master Han's hand.

"Don't refuse, I'll pay you dearly," that man said with a chuckle.

"Stop it! Karin said in a weak voice as she pushed Mr. Han's hand away, but that man didn't care. He kept forcing to touch Karin's body. Someone came and grabbed Mr. Han's hand and twisted it.

"You are being rude to a girl who is barely conscious, then you must be fight with me," threatened that person. Master Han screamed in pain. The people who wanted to help refused when they clashed with the man's threatening gaze. That man then immediately took Karin out of there.

"Matthew, what are you doing here?" Karin asked. It turned out that Matthew was the one who had helped Karin.

"Let's go off first, it looks like people are going to come after us," said Matthew as he grabbed Karin's hand. Karin could only obey, her head was too dizzy to argue. It turned out that Matthew's guess was not wrong. It wasn't long before a few burly people came out of the bar and chased after them.

"We have to get out of here now," said Matthew as he pulled Karin who had stopped walking. However, Karin who was drunk could barely run. The people who were intent on capturing them were getting closer. Matthew had to carry Karin to the car which was parked some distance from the bar. After that Matthew immediately drove the car and left from there.

Matthew was driving the car at a moderate speed. Not knowing Karin's address, he then took Karin to the hotel. That man saw Karin sleep in the car and couldn't be woken up, so he had to carry her to the hotel room which are he had booked.

Karin lay on the bed and was still asleep. Matthew continued to stare at her.

"You can sleep peacefully, even though I'm here. What if I do something to you?" Matthew asked as he continued to stare at Karin. Karin, of course, was still asleep. Matthew took a deep breath. He never let go of the girl he liked. However, Karin was different. He didn't have the heart to take the opportunity when she was unconscious. Matthew then decided to leave from there.

The next day, Karin is surprised to find that she is in an unfamiliar room.

'Where am I now? Why am I here? Was it possible when I was drunk and Mr. Han brought me here?' Karin asked herself. Karin checked her clothes which had changed into pajamas

'What happened? Did Mr. Han really touch me and change my clothes?'

'How about this? Am I...?'

The questions in Karin's mind stopped when the door to the room was opened from the outside and she saw Matthew standing there. The man then rushed in and greeted Karin.

"Good morning, Sweet Miss. How are you? I thought you slept really well last night," he said with a smile.

"Why am I here? Did you take me from the bar last night? Did... did you do something to me?" Karin asked in a worried tone.

'Why I am so stupid I can't even remember anything?' She said to herself.

Matthew burst out laughing.

"You really don't remember anything. What do you think I can do to you?" Matthew then looked at Karin look at the clothes she is worn again.

"The problem with your changing clothes?" asked Matthew. Karin just kept silent and slowly nodded, while Matthew was still laughing, which made Karin even more worried if something really happened to her last night.

"Don't worry. A woman hotel employee replaced it. You don't have to worry about last night, I didn't touch you at all," Matthew said.

Karin was still staring in disbelief.

Matthew again said,

"If you still don't believe me, you can ask the receptionist at this hotel. You'll know that I booked a room so I slept in another room last night.

Karin was silent. She still doubted Matthew, but had no choice but to believe what that man said.

"Okay, I'll believe you," Karin finally decided. Matthew just laughed. He then walked into the room. This made Karin anxious again. The girl immediately pulled the blanket over her body.

Karin breathed a sigh of relief when not long after a hotel maid came to the room to deliver food. At least the man wouldn't do anything ungrateful because there was someone else now.

"Eat first!" tell Matthew. Karin just kept quiet and stared at the man for a while. A few moments later, the food delivery man then asked permission from there. Matthew just nodded and gave some tips.

Slowly Karin started to scoop the food in front of her but Matthew was still there and kept looking at her so she felt uncomfortable.

That man realized the situation and said to Karin,

"Okay, okay, I'll get out of here." He then left the room.

It was only after Matthew came out that Karin ate the food voraciously. She realized that she was really hungry. It wasn't long before Karin's phone rang.

She immediately took the phone then looked at the screen and found that it was Silvi who was calling. Her best friend must have been worried about her because she didn't come home last night. Karin was contemplating whether to take the call or not.

After thinking for a while, she decided not to take the call, she didn't want Silvi to ask her where she is now and she couldn't give an answer.
