Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 16

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 16
Shaun suddenly curled a smile and raised his eyebrows. “You can leave, but you have to leave in the same way as they were dragged out just now.”

Catherine was stunned as her eyes settled on Shaun. She was caught in a moment of contrasting emotions.

She did not expect him to stand up for her. Somehow, she could not help but find him rather attractive.

At that moment, Rebecca and the women could no longer keep their cool.

Janet roared, “Who do you think you are? Do you know who we are?”

Shaun kept still, throwing a glance at Chase.

Chase looked sideways at the group of servers with a smile. “Should I personally give your boss a call? The strongest person to drag them will be rewarded.”

Everyone in the restaurant was aware of Chase’s identity. Even the servers’ boss would treat him courteously.

The group of servers immediately rushed to drag Rebecca and the two other women out with one server treating them crueler than the previous one.

All of the three women had come well-dressed. However, their hair soon became messy while their shoes dropped to the floor when they were being dragged. Even Rebecca’s long dress was torn after it got hooked on the flower bed.

Catherine and Freya watched the situation with their mouths agape.

Kneeling in front of the two of them, Manager Lorenz begged, “I must’ve been blind just now, Miss Jones and Miss Lynch. It was very careless of me. I hope the two of you will be generous enough to forgive me. Don’t sink to my level.”

Catherine secretly glanced at Shaun. Upon realizing that he was not uttering a word, she then said, “How lucky we are to come across Young Master Harrison here. Otherwise, we would’ve been the ones who got dragged out. In that case, I wouldn’t have forgiven you and complained about you guys to your boss in person.”

Chase said with a smile, “You don’t have to do it in person. I’ll call their boss in a minute and make him get lost.”

Manager Lorenz plopped down on the floor in pain.

Freya was indeed delighted by the situation. Coincidentally, she saw Catherine standing frozen by Shaun’s side without saying a word. Struck by a sudden thought, she used her shoulder to hit her best friend violently.

With a sudden push, Catherine, who had been spacing out, missed her footing and subsequently fell into Shaun’s arms.

She had never been so close to him. A soft scent then filled her nose.

She had a brain fart at that instant. Never did she expect that the man would smell so lovely. It was completely different from his aura.

Catherine sensed that Shaun’s eyes were sweeping over her. Hit with a realization, she got out of his arms in a hurry. “I’m sorry, it was an accident.”

“Stop explaining. It’s not the first time you’ve done such a thing,” Shaun replied knowingly.

Catherine was speechless.

Had she really done such a thing?

Why was she unaware of it?

Furious at being falsely accused, she turned her gaze to the instigator. She noticed that Freya and Chase were staring at her curiously.

Chase gave a light cough. “It must be fate that brought us together. Let’s have a meal together, okay?”

Freya’s eyes sparkled. “Sure. I was just planning to have a toast with you to thank you for the help.”

“Let’s go.”

As Freya and Chase were chatting, they entered the restaurant first.
