Mysterious Man

Shena was so shocked to hear Alice's words. How could she fall into the trap of such a bad guy? Fortunately, Jevian helped her, although in the end she also had to lose her virginity, but at least only one person tasted her body. Had Jevian not helped her, she would have become the rotating trophy of the two bad guys.
"But how could you, Al? I mean, I didn't receive any drinks, let alone food from them?" asked Shena with a confused face. She still vividly remembered drinking only her juice.
"Before you drank it, did anyone engage you in conversation to distract you?" asked Alice.
The girl knew that explaining something to Shena had to be in detail, especially about the nightlife where Shena had no idea how the people in the neighborhood were.
Shena nodded like a child when asked questions by her parents.
"One of the two guys who asked me to do the embroidery," replied Shena, who didn't seem to realize where her best friend's question was going.
"And the other one was the one who put the drug in your drink!" Alica said first before Shena could ask the question she had asked earlier.
Shena racked her brain, remembering and digesting Alice's words. She tried to imagine what Alice had said and sure enough, it made perfect sense.
Shena leaned her body, looking straight ahead.
"I was really stupid, Al. How could I not realize that!" Shena said in a low voice.
Alice looked pityingly at Shena. The girl thought that what happened to Shena had something to do with her. If only she could hold back urinating last night, and not leave Shena alone there, maybe Shena would still be fine. Alice also regretted drinking too much, causing herself to get drunk and pass out in a place not far from the club's restroom.
Alice, who was still right beside Shena, immediately hugged her best friend's body. The girl was crying.
"I'm sorry, Shen. It's all my fault! If only I hadn't brought you in there and brought you straight home, maybe none of this would have happened. You would have been fine. I wasn't a good friend to you! I ruined your life!" Alice said at length. The girl felt bad for Shena.
"I'm sorry, Shen. I'm sorry," she continued.
There was a clear cry from Alice which made Shena feel bad.
Shena never thought to blame Alice for this incident. It was her fault for not being careful with people she just met.
"Don't be like this Al! You're not at fault at all. No, you're not! It's all my fault for being too easily fooled by others." Shena replied while returning Alice's hug.
"If I hadn't forced you to come in, everything would have been fine!" said Alice again who tightened her hug even more.
Shena tried to let go and make Alice believe that she didn't blame Alice at all.
"Al, calm down. Let's just say that this is all the writing I have to live with. At least from what happened last night, I'm still lucky that it wasn't those two bad guys who enjoyed my body," Shena said after successfully releasing Alice's hands that were wrapped around her body.
Alice wiped away her tears.
"Who was that man?" asked Alice, who was curious because Shena had not told her best friend about the good and bad men.
Shena was silent. She didn't know for sure who the man was who had spent a long, sweaty night with her last night.
Shena shook her head weakly. "I don't know, Al. He just came out of nowhere and beat up one of the guys who was going to take me," Shena said.
"They deserve to be beaten Shen, if not killed!" said Alice angrily. There was a look of annoyance on the girl's face.
Shena looked disapprovingly at Alice at the girl's words.
"I'm sorry, but they deserve it. What they did was a crime!" Alice said again.
Shena did not answer. There was some truth in what Alice said, she thought.
"Already, let's not talk about those two crazy guys. So, what did that guy do after you guys did it? I mean, did he say he would take full responsibility? He's the first person to touch you," Alice asked passionately.
Alice likened Shena to herself, where her sugar daddy is still going strong.
"I don't know," Shena replied with a resigned face.
Alice furrowed her brow. "She didn't say that?" Alice asked again.
"I don't even know when she left!" said Shena and managed to make Alice jump in surprise.
"You mean she ran away that night?"
Alice continued to ask questions.
Shena nodded. "She left before I woke up, and I don't know exactly what time she left me," Shena replied with a sad look, but the girl still forced a smile.
"What an insolent man! I thought he was different from those two guys. Turns out it's the same thing, taking advantage when you're under the influence of drugs," Alice said with her breath rising and falling.
She had just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, at least Shena still had hope to hold the man accountable, it was worse than she had imagined.
Shena chose to remain silent. She didn't tell Alice that the man had left a business card and an ATM. Shena thought that Jevian was just like any other man who would consider her a cheap woman who deserved to be paid money.
Shena was afraid that when she went to Jevian he would publicly humiliate her because no man would take responsibility for a woman in an entertainment venue like that.
Instead of embarrassing herself, she would rather forget what happened last night and start her life by looking for a job because her stomach couldn't possibly stay hungry. She also didn't want to continue to burden Alice with her presence at her best friend's house.
"Never mind, Al. I can't blame her because it all started from my own mistakes. I don't want to think about that anymore! I'd better think about work because life is still going on," said Shena, who asked Alice not to discuss Jevian anymore.
"But he was wrong too. If he could have restrained himself, he wouldn't have done that!" said Alice.
"No man can hold himself back if he's constantly being wooed!" said Shena.
Alice chuckled in annoyance. She still blamed Jevian, not Shena.
"What's his name, don't you know either?" asked Alice.
Shena shook her head quickly. Even though the business card clearly stated Jevian's name.
"But-"
"Never mind, Al. Forget it!" Shena quickly cut Alice off. She didn't want to hear any more about what happened last night.
Alice immediately shut her mouth.
Her hand gently rubbed Shena's arm. "I respect your decision but remember. If there's anything, don't notify me! Work problems, I'll help you find them," Alice said.
Shena smiled. "Thanks a lot, Al. But no club work, I don't want it!" said Shena.
"Take it easy," Alice replied.
"Where do you work, is there any?" asked Shena.
The girl didn't know that Alice hadn't been working all this time. Alice just lied saying that she was busy with her work.
Alice was silent again.
"What's wrong? Not at your place is fine too," Shena said again.
Shena thought that Alice would mind if she was in the same office as Alice.
"There's one thing I want to tell you," Alice said.
"What?" asked Shena with a frown.
"I... I don't work," said Alice.
"You mean, where do you get the money and the house?" asked Shena with a confused face.
"There is something. What's clear is that I don't steal, or cheat people!" said Alice with teary eyes.
"Then?"
Shena had to get an answer to her curiosity.
It was obvious that Alice swallowed her saliva roughly. It felt like the girl's throat was choked with Shena's question.
