After walking around again, it was almost time to leave.
Briar wanted to go to the restroom, and someone quickly escorted her there.
Clio finally had the chance to be alone with Michael. She stepped closer and said softly. “Mr. Johnson, thanks to you. Without you I
would have been fired. Do you have time tonight? Let me treat you to dinner, I want to thank you properly p>
She smiled suggestively, tilting her head to reveal her smooth neck at just the right moment.
She already knew Michael liked women with flawless skin, like Alice.
She couldn’t couldn’t match Alice’s looks, but she believed her skills in bed were far superior.
Clio shot Alice a disdainful glance, but Alice had already walked away.
After the mall was built, there was plenty of data that needed to be recorded, which was exactly what Alice was doing now.
Briar and Clio didn’t understand their jobs and really thought they were shopping with Michael, but Alice knew she had to work.
They had Michael’s favor, but she didn’t.
Alice caught Clio’s actions out of the corner of her eye and already guessed what she was going to do.
Michael wasn’t uninterested in her; he just needed more time to observe.
After all, he liked women who were pure, and those who were too easy to get into bed were not interesting.
Alice stopped paying attention to them. Anyway, she didn’t care who Michael chose as long as it wasn’t her.
Suddenly, she overheard store employees whispering:
“Armed robbery? That’s crazy p>
Is it the store next to the restroom p>
“The security guards went over, but I don’t know if they’ve called the police p>
“The restroom on this floor? That’s too scary p>
Alice froze, realizing something and quickly looked at Michael.
Clio was by his side, but Briar was not!

Chapter 89
Without thinking, Alice ran directly towards the restroom.
At this time, a store entrance was already crowded with people, but there was no sign of any robbers.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Briar’s scream from the restroom.
“Help, help p>
Before anyone else could react, Alice rushed in with the self-defense spray from her bag.
Briar was being grabbed by a man with a knife, screaming continuously.
Seeing the blood on the man’s chest, Alice, despite her fear, rushed forward and sprayed the man.
The man, in pain, instinctively let go.
“Run!” Alice grabbed Briar’s hand and quickly ran towards the door.
Both of them ran fast and were at the door in the blink of an eye.
Alice, overwhelmed with fear and emotion but didn’t dare to stop. She could only hold Briar’s hand tightly and keep running
forward.
The moment she saw Michael running towards them, she felt her eyes well up with tears, all the sadness and fear she had just
experienced came flooding out.
Having just been frightened and encountering a vicious robber, she now only wanted to run to Michael.
It seemed that only by his side would she be safe.
But just as she was about to reach Michael, Briar pushed her hard, causing her to fall to the ground, while Briar had already thrown herself into Michael’s arms, crying, ‘Michael, someone tried to kill me. It was so scary p>
Michael held Briar tightly, gently patting her back and soothing her in a low voice.
Then Alice heard a roar again, I’ll kill you, bitch!

She squeezed her eyes shut, knowing the man was coming for her.

She had thought Michael would save her, but she had been fooling herself.
Fortunately, she soon heard the sound of someone hitting the ground. She turned her head and saw several security guards pinning
the man down.
His eyes were bloodshot, still streaming tears, clearly irritated by her spray.

The male colleague who had tried to bring Alice ice cream quickly came over to support her. “Ms. Baker, are you okay p>
Alice shook her head and instinctively leaned on him just to stay upright.
The mall manager hurried over to apologize.
Meanwhile, Briar clung to Michael, sobbing pitifully.”Michael, I’m so scared. He had a knife, and he grabbed my hand, its so
disgusting, I need to take a shower p>
Alice, with a pale face, was arranging for the scene to be cleaned up.
Michael frowned at Alice. “There’s no need for you here. Go book a hotel near the mall, Briar needs to take a shower p>
The male colleague felt a bit indignant. “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Baker was also frightened just now and almost got caught p>
“It’s okay, I’m fine, thank you.” Alice smiled at him and shook her head.
Arguing with Michael at this time would be pointless.
She then turned to Michael. “Okay, Mr. Johnson, I’ll take care of it p>
She entered the elevator, her smile fading.
She had truly been terrified; in that moment, she thought she was going to die.
But once things calmed down, the fear ebbed.
With bodyguards everywhere Michael went, she probably wouldn’t have been in any real danger. She had just panicked too much and thought Michael was coming for her.
She walked to the hotel in a daze, booked a room, and then called Michael.
After more than ten minutes, Michael came in carrying Briar, who was still trembling.
Clio followed behind them with an impatient look on her face.
Alice quickly went over. “2109, here’s the room key p>
“You want me to open the door? Michael glanced at her.
Briar pressed her face tightly against Michael’s chest, refusing to let go.
Alice had no choice but to follow them upstairs.
Just as Clio was about to get on the elevator, Michael told her to go back first. She could only pout and pretend to be sad as she

Chapter 89
Alice noticed Briar using the elevator’s reflection to sneak a look, and thought that neither of the two women around Michael were”
easy to deal with.
As soon as they entered the room, Briar started complaining about her clothes. I feel dirty, I don’t want to wear them anymore p>
“Okay, I’ll have someone buy new ones for you p>
Michael had just taken out his phone when Briar grabbed his hand. “No, other people’s taste is terrible. Let Alice buy them for me p>
Michael turned to Alice.
Alice nodded knowingly. “I’ll go right away p>
Michael frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on her. “Buy some for youself, too. It’s on the company. Come back soon p>
Alice glanced down at herself and realized that her skirt had torn when she fell. She had been too nervous to notice.
She nodded slightly and then left the room.
Before closing the door, she saw Briar clinging to Michael, whispering in a hoarse voice, “Michael, can you hold me? I’m so scared, I
can only feel safe with you p>
