"And you?... Are with someone?" The young girl asked, a bit hesitant in knowing about the answer.
"Well I-" William was about to answer her but something crazy happened that prompted him to stop.
BOOM
The door to the casino that had been guarded by more than 8 guards suddenly flashed a bright yellow before exploding out as the doors flew off to different places.
William immediately took the girl next to him and jumped away a bit away from the place where they previously were and shielded her from any oncoming debris and dangerous materials.
The girl first shaken by the explosion and then immediately felt a gentle but hard touch around her as she was quickly shielded by his larger body.
At first she didn't realize what happened as his body coming so close to her body had somehow stopped her reaction time for a brief moment. But she was quickly able to get herself together and understood that they had been attacked.
She looked at the place where they were before and saw that a door had flew off and struck there. She looked at that place and then at William's face which was quite close to where she was before and couldn't help but blush out a lot.
The fact that the unknown person who she had spotted out from afar had saved her from a worse event and was now so close with his more than beautiful face had struck a chord in her heart.
But William on the other hand didn't think about her nor did he think about the brief moment of impact he had with her soft plushies and looked towards the destruction up ahead that was closed off by the smoke that built up the next moment.
He could see some silhouettes in the smoke and understood that it was a group that had done this explosion. He then looked down under him and asked the hazy headed girl, "Are you okay?"
The girl didn't react at first until he asked again with more concern that jogged her awake, "Y- Yeah, I am fine. Thank you for saving me."
He shrugged off her thanks and said to her, "You can thank me later, We are still not safe yet." Then he quickly got up with her and prompted her to follow him. Which she did without any question.
He thought and then made a phone call and said, "Hey! Why the late holdup? Why did the guards come out so late?"
"I'm sorry sir, but as you had requested, the rule for safety made them wear the necessary equipment before coming out for the event." The guy from the call quickly replied.
William sighed and couldn't blame him as it was his own idea to implement such safety protocols for lesser casualty among his staffs.
"NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY!" The guy who seemed to be the leader said, "I want cash... hot seeping cash from such a bright prominent casino. If you give me all of the whole cash there is in this massive casino, then me and my friends promise that we'll leave peacefully while letting this pretty dolls leave freely too." He said with a greedy smile, "I promise."
William hearing that felt a headache coming to him as the phone call also said, "Sir what do we do?"
The beautiful girl beside William, didn't understand what William was doing and why he was talking in the phone like he had some kind of authority in this casino.
She didn't know who he really was but figured that because he was talking in such a way then he had some pull here so she said, "I have my pappy with me and he is very strong so if those guys actually tried to do something then pappy would quickly defeat them."
William looked at the girl beside him and didn't know whether to trust her on this. He didn't feel that she was lying but he couldn't trust her completely without knowing how strong the person was or would he really be willing to help him out in this situation.
His whole reputation depended on what he did the next moment.
"Sir?" The phone call asked and William suddenly had a plan hatch in his mind as he thanked the girl, "Thank you for your help but I have a plan."
The girl nodded looking at his dependent face as he said to the phone call.
"Don't be alarmed by what happens next and only follow what I do."
Then he cut the call and took a deep breath while coming outside the door and shouting, "Hey Losers!"
