But wait… He would only walk like that toward me. Did that mean he knew that I was in here?
"Nate?"
My face had turned completely ashen in the camera. The man on the call seemed to have also heard Derrick's voice, but he didn't say a thing.
The black toy was still stuck inside me, but I didn't dare to move a muscle. I also didn't dare to put my clothes on. I was just shaking and shivering in great fear.
The stall doors started creaking as Derrick opened them, one after another, like he was playing a game of hide-and-seek with me.
His words grew nastier as he sought me out.
"Which stall are you in, Natey? I saw you walk in here 20 minutes ago. Come on, tell me what kind of fun you've been having on your own.
"Were you touching yourself? Did it feel good? Don't you find it boring doing it all by yourself? Why don't you let me help?
"You slut, I could hear you moaning from a mile away."
Derrick kept calling out to me in a derogatory way, and it instantly reminded me of all the rumors he used to spread about me. I couldn't bear it anymore and felt tears slipping down my cheeks.
I quickly covered my mouth and tried hard not to make a sound, even though it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. He was going to discover me very soon.
"Didn't I tell you that I'd let you off the hook if you'd just sleep with me and do whatever I wanted back then? That offer still stands. Well?"
Derrick's footsteps got closer and closer. Finally, he stood in front of my stall. Seeing that it was the only one locked, he chuckled coldly and said, "Found you. Did you really think that I wouldn't find you just because you locked the door?"
He continued muttering to himself as he crouched down to peek under the door like a sick pervert.
I thought that Derrick would see me in my humiliating state.
But just then, another set of footsteps sounded at the door. Someone else had also come.
It gave Derrick such a shock that he immediately stood back up straight.
"What the hell are you doing?"
It was Felix. He walked into the restroom with a huge frown on his face. His voice was cold and icy, but he sounded virtuous and trustworthy, a stark difference to Derrick's honeylike yet perverted tone.
"You…"
Derrick had guilt written across his face. He quickly forced a cold chuckle and said, "And what the hell has that got to do with you? Have you finished auditing the reports I gave you? It has to be submitted after lunch!"
He had been frustrated with Felix ever since Winter had stopped to chat with him that morning. Thinking Felix was just a poor guy with no influence or familial support, Derrick had used a random excuse to dump his work on Felix as payback.
The audit report was complex and time-consuming, and Derrick was looking forward to watching Felix fail.
Suddenly, a light chuckle rang out.
"That's the Team Lead's work," Felix said with a sneer. "Why should I do it?"
Derrick was so shocked he fell silent. When he finally found his voice, he was so frightened that he could only stammer, "D-Don't tell me you d-didn't do it… Management needs it after lunch! How dare you refuse to do it!
"You… Argh! Just wait, you little brat…"
Derrick was behaving exactly like when I broke up with him. He yelled at Felix and threatened him for a bit, then I could hear his voice diminishing, as if he'd just hurried off to start auditing the report.
The restroom fell silent again. It was so quiet that I thought I was beginning to lose my mind.
I had grabbed the opportunity while Derrick and Felix were talking to remove the toy and put my pants back on. I noticed that my phone screen had gone dark when I picked it up. I didn't even know when the video call had ended.
I waited until I thought the coast was clear before finally opening the stall door with my head down.
Since my legs still felt like jelly, I nearly fell as I walked out, but found myself crashing into someone else's chest.
I was stunned.
When I looked up, I found myself looking into Felix's mesmerizing eyes. He looked slightly amused, though he seemed nonchalant about it.
For some reason, it reminded me of the scene from earlier.
I felt anxious and embarrassed. However, I didn't feel humiliated—not like when I thought I was getting found out by Derrick.
"T-Thank you," I whispered, lowering my head again.
