"I said, get away from her!" came the deep voice again and this time, it was louder than ever.

The pervert finally found the source of the voice. He turned to look in the direction it came from and discovered it belonged to a handsome man who was a head taller than him. For a second, he lost his confidence.

"Ahem. This is none of your business."

There was no visible sign of anger on Lucas' handsome face. He calmly looked down at the pervert and repeated the four words in a neutral tone, "Get. Away. From. Her."

Despite his neutral tone, the aura Lucas was emitting was threatening enough to send a chill up the pervert's spine. Everyone turned to look at them, waiting to see how the drama would unfold.

The pervert became a little scared. He could tell Lucas was someone who he should not mess with but his ego would not allow him to humiliate himself in front of everyone. Thus, he decided to challenge Lucas.

"Who are you to her? Why should I listen to you?"

"That's not something you need to know. All you have to do is to get away from her now!"

The pervert found his attitude odd. 'Do they know each other? If they do, why aren't they standing together? This must mean they don't know each other!'

He sneaked a peek at Corinne, who was still trapped between his arms, and realization immediately dawned on him. He broke out in a grin and said, "Hey dude, take a number if you want to flirt with this gal too. Sorry to say but you're too late. I was the one who saw her first."

Lucas did not say anything else. Instead, he simply narrowed his eyes.

"Ahhh!" The pervert suddenly screamed out in pain. Judging by his contorting face, he must be in a whole lot of pain.

The reason behind this sudden development was none other than Lucas. Just now, he clamped down his hand on the pervert's wrist, twisted it to the back, and pulled him away from Corinne. Pain shot through the pervert's body and it was only then he was willing to surrender.

"Gah! It hurts! Dude, please let me go and we'll talk this out. You know what? You can have her."

With the pervert's wrist still in his grip and without sparing him a glance, Lucas turned to Corinne and ordered, "Come over here and stand beside me!"

Corinne blinked a few times before squeezing herself through the gaps to stand beside him. Even though she was not on good terms with Lucas, she would take him over the pervert any time since one had morals and the other did not.

'Ugh! Why is the elevator moving so slowly? Why haven't we reached the first floor yet?' she could not help but wonder.

Lucas used his other hand to lightly push Corinne to the back so that he could act as her shield before letting go of the pervert.

As soon as he got his freedom back, the pervert massaged his wrist and said unrepentantly, "Dude, did you need to do that? It's not like you know the girl anyway. Besides, you could still have your chance with her if she decides to turn me down. You didn't need to choose violence."

Lucas looked down condescendingly at the pervert and thought, 'No wonder he's single! Even I, as a man, could not stand his misogynist attitude. He's not fit to be called a man!' Ding!

The elevator door finally opened.
