Slipping the card into Sherilyn’s hand, he urged, “Here, this is for you. Take it!”
At the moment, the crowd waiting in line watched the exchange as if it were breaking news, their eyes glued to the scene.
Visibly annoyed, Sherilyn said, “I told you I don’t want it. Please leave. Stop bothering me here.”
“Sherilyn…” The man’s expression froze, realizing that Sherilyn was upset.
With no other choice, he grasped Sherilyn’s hand, attempting to forcefully give her the card, “Just take it, it’s yours!”
“I don’t want it!” Sherilyn tried to pull her arm away, but she couldn’t break free.. Out of desperation, Sherilyn warned, “Let go of me now, or I’ll scream for help!” Without waiting for a response, she yelled at the top of her lungs, “Help!”
But to the onlookers, it was clear the man meant no harm. He was only trying to give her money.
Growing more frustrated, Sherilyn exclaimed, “Can’t you please leave me alone? I don’t want your money!”

Previously, Gilbert claimed he could always spot Sherilyn in a crowd. It seemed Gilbert had become that person himself.
“Let her go!” Gilbert forcefully grabbed the man’s arm, pushing him away effortlessly.
Upon closer inspection, Gilbert recognized him. It wasn’t the first time this man had bothered Sherilyn and last time, he had also intervened!
Immediately, Gilbert’s hostility skyrocketed, his gaze piercing. “Who the hell are you?”
That look was terrifying. If it weren’t illegal, the man might already be on his way to the afterlife!
“I…” The man swallowed nervously, his eyes darting toward Sherilyn in fear.
“Just go!” Sherilyn was exasperated. What good would looking at her do? He should hurry up and leave!
“Oh, okay!” The man nodded, finally realizing the urgency, and turned to run.
“Thinking of running?” Gilbert wasn’t about to let him off. He took a step forward, ready to chase.
“Don’t chase him!” In a panic, Sherilyn grabbed Gilbert’s hand.
“Sherilyn!” Gilbert was stunned, his temper flaring. “Are you defending him?”
Sherilyn held onto him, fearing he would pursue the man if she let go.
She was shocked by Gilbert’s misunderstanding. “Nonsense. I’m not defending him!”
