Chapter 107: Being Plotted

Elena urgently needed to use the restroom. She had to leave Martina alone in the

hallway, telling her that she would be back as soon as she finished in the restroom.

Martina was not a child, and it was not a big deal for her to be left alone in a social

setting, so she naturally had no reason to refuse. She nodded and agreed.

However, after about two or three minutes, Martina received a text message from

Elena. “Honey, I forgot to bring something. Please come quickly! I’m in the restroom at the far end ofthe hallway, on the right side. Don’t go the wrong way!”

At the same time, a sneaky figure happened to pass by the entrance of the men’s and women’srestrooms and cunningly switched the signs.

Martina, seeing how Elena referred to her, thought it was just her usual way of talking.

Although the nickname was a little different from their usual conversations, Martina didn’t

think much of it.

She simply replied, “I’ll be right there.”

Afterward, Martina reached into her prepared bag and took out the backup items,

hurrying towards the location Elena had mentioned.

it

Fortunately, she had been observant of her surroundings since she arrived, which made easy for her toreplace the place Elena had described.

She arrived at the two doors in front of her and without much thought, she headed towards therestroom on the left. After all, there was a clear sign indicating it was the

women’s restroom, and she couldn’t have mistaken that.

However, as Martina entered the restroom, the door was closed behind her. Not only that, but she alsocaught a whiff of an unfamiliar fragrance. It was a scent that couldn’t be described, but it gave a strongand intoxicating feeling, making one feel dizzy and

lightheaded.

A sense of unease instantly struck Martina, and she immediately realized that

something was amiss in this place.

It was common to have some kind of fragrance in the restroom, but how could there be

such a scent?

Moreover, the layout of this restroom didn’t look like a women’s restroom at all. Why

would there be urinals?

It was clearly a men’s restroom!

Martina’s gaze slowly shifted backward after hearing a belch, and she saw a m

ular

man, tall and burly.

the muscular man had an average–looking face, but what stood out were his bulging muscles. Onepunch from him would undoubtedly be explosive. He seemed to have had quite a few drinks, stumblingas he walked.

His brow furrowed until the moment he saw Martina, then it finally smoothed out in an

instant. There was unmistakable interest and desire evident in his eyes, something

impossible to ignore.

“Well, well, aren’t you the woman who willingly walked right into my arms? You look

stunning. Are you a virgin?”

“Well, that’s just my little hobby. But considering how beautiful you are, even if you’re

not, I can reluctantly accept it.”

He said confidently as if everything was already set in stone, but Martina had never

mentioned why she was here.

Martina stared at the muscular man with a vigilant gaze, gripping the doorknob tightly and trying to twistit, only to replace that it wouldn’t budge. Clearly, someone had intentionally locked it from the outside orbroken the lock. Otherwise, there was no way she couldn’t

open this door from the inside.

Her mind quickly raced, and she soon came up with a possibility. If her guess was correct, someonewas plotting against her. Otherwise, how could the restroom signs be hung incorrectly, and why would

there be a muscular man waiting here?

“Excuse me, sir,” Martina said fearlessly, “you might have mistaken me. I simply wandered into themen’s restroom by accident, and I apologize for that. But now the door has been locked by someone,and I suspect that someone is intentionally targeting us. How about we cooperate and open the doortogether?”

Martina’s voice was soft, yet carried a hint of reason, making it sound particularly pleasant. With herhigh attractiveness, coupled with such a voice, it was no wonder the

muscular man was fascinated.

the muscular man sneered coldly, “You think I’ll just let go of this golden opportunity?”

Martina’s brow furrowed as she clearly sensed the muscular man’s malicious intentions,

leaving no room for negotiation.

No that there was no need to negotiate, Martina would no longer tolerate it. Although she wasn’t goodat physical confrontations, she would never allow herself to be bullied

without doing anything about it.

Watching the muscular man approach her step by step, Martina felt nervous. She tightened her grip onher phone, hoping to seize the opportunity to make a call.

She stared intently at the muscular man in front of her and instinctively press emergency button 1. Shewasn’t sure whose phone number was assigned to the button 1, but she could only pray that it wasElena.

At that moment, the muscular man seemed to have noticed something amiss an aggressively snatchedthe phone from Martina’s hand. He then forcefully threw it ground, but the phone was surprisinglysturdy, as it remained intact even after such impact

In an angle unseen by the two of them, a phone call had already been connected, and prominentlydisplayed on the screen were the one word “Benjamin”

“Hello, came the muscular man’s cold voice from the other end.

Coincidentally, the phone was dropped on speaker mode, and Martina immediately recognized theidentity of the person on the other end

But the situation was urgent, and Martina didn’t have time to explain too much She anxiously said. “CallElena and tell her that I’m locked in the restroom!”

Benjamin was taken aback for a moment, but then he heard the voice of the muscular man. It seemedthat someone was hitting Martina

‘Bitch! You dare to make a phone call for help? Haha, let’s see if he arrives in time before I dosomething to you As for what the muscular man would do to Martina, it was already obvious

Martina’s arm was forcefully slammed against the wall but she was equally back down unwilling to

When the musicular man tried to overpower her, she lifted her knee and fiercely struck the weakestspot on his body

“Ahhhhh – a thunderous scream reverberated, but the commotion outside was equally loud, drowningout any possibility of it being heard

There were too many people outside today, and it would probably take a while before anyone noticedthat two people were missing from the banquet

Despite this, the muscular man’s wickedness persisted, and he grabbed Martina’s hair once again

Martina was in so much pain that she almost cried, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall

She remembered a grappling technique she had accidentally come across online, not knowing if itwould work or not, but at this point, she had nothing to lose

“You do not even think about doing anything to me! You bastard Martina finished speaking andextended her index and middle fingers, forming a pincer shape, and fiercely jabbed at the muscularman’s face behind her
