Chapter 127 Hero Saves Beauty
One of the thugs noticed someone approaching and asked impatiently, “Who is it? Don’t you see that I’m picking up a girl, for God’s sake?”
The arrogant thug turned his head and saw Mason’s face.
Mason placed his hands in his pockets and took a step forward, but he didn’t do anything. He only walked in front of the thug, raised his eyebrow, and said with a smile, “Picking up a girl?” He grinned before revealing a particularly arrogant smile. “You think that my girl is someone whom you can simply pick up, huh?”
When the thug saw that the person in front of him was Mason, he shivered with fright and stammered, “M-Mr. Schumacher…”
Mason stood there and didn’t move. However, seeing them standing still as well, he asked unhappily, “What’s the matter? Do you need me to invite you out?”
As soon as the thugs heard this, they immediately turned and ran away.
After they left, Mason turned his head to look at Nicole. The gloomy expression on his face disappeared and he wore a smile before he waved his hand.
“Hey, Pretty Lady. Long time no see. Don’t you think we have a special kind of fate?”
Nicole looked at the thugs who had left and she felt relieved as her expression looked better. When she remembered that the thugs respectfully addressed him as ‘Mr. Schumacher’, she turned to look at Mason and joked, “This is not some kind of hero act that you are putting on, right?”
He had a smile on his face, and he didn’t mind her joke at all. Soon, he continued the conversation. “If I had arranged this, I would definitely have included an intense fighting scene so that you could be convinced by my heroic appearance.”
The moment she heard this, she opened her mouth and laughed before she thanked, “Anyway, thank you for today.”
With a wave of his hand, Mason replied, “You’re welcome. I just happened to come across such a situation and as a good person such as myself, I would do it for any other pretty girl as well.”
After Nicole thanked him, she was about to carry her things into the car and leave. Mason looked at her leaving figure and whispered, “I’ve saved you twice. Don’t you ever feel like repaying my favor?”
In the empty underground parking lot, Mason’s complaints were particularly loud and obvious.
Nicole laughed. She took out a box of steaks from the plastic bag, put it directly into Mason’s hands, and said with a smile, “Consider this a gift of thanks.”
He looked down at the steak before he looked up at her as the smile on his face became more profound. “I thought you would invite me to dinner or something. After all, this is not the first time I have saved you, you see.”
She raised her head to meet his gaze and noticed that he was wearing a casual all-black outfit today. Although he looked low-key, she took a look at the logo on his clothes and reckoned that this outfit was not cheap at all.
“We’ll have the opportunity in the future. I’ve been a little busy recently, and I feel like I can’t do anything right these days,” Nicole said seriously; it was true that the cyberbullying incident these days kept her busy.
“Are you thinking about what happened online, Pretty Lady?” Mason asked bluntly.
Nicole was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Mason to know about this, so she raised her eyebrow and looked over at him.
Mason quickly explained when he saw Nicole’s surprise, “Pretty Lady, don’t get me wrong; I didn’t specifically investigate you. You’ve been so famous recently with a rising popularity. I was curious and investigated Lisa’s identity, but I didn’t expect it to be you.”
She looked at his sincere appearance, after which she felt a little amused and twitched the corners of her mouth. “Since I’m that kind of woman, you should stay away from me.”
Mason pouted and said indifferently, “These days, the Internet spreads baseless rumors, and nobody has any opinions of their own. Little beauty, I believe you are not such a person.”
To be believed by a person whom she had only met twice, Nicole was inexplicably moved while she lowered her head and flashed a smile.
“Thank you. When this matter is finally settled, I will invite you to dinner.”
When Mason heard that Nicole would invite him to dinner, he hurriedly took out his cell phone. “Come on. Let me add you as a friend first so that you won’t change your mind and go back on your word.”
Looking at his eager face, she laughed hoarsely and took out her mobile phone to add him as a friend on social media.
After the two were connected, Nicole entered the car and left.
Mason stood there while looking at his list of friends on the phone before he turned back toward Nicole, who had left, with an interesting smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
