Chapter 43 Zachary looked up , and despite the crowded bar , his eyes immediately found Sarah's booth . Several men were closing in on her with obvious ill intent . A flicker of coldness passed through his otherwise composed expression . The commotion at Sarah's table had drawn attention , but no one dared intervene . These thugs were notorious in the area , and nobody wanted trouble . The leader leered at Sarah and Scarlett with a sleazy grin . " Ladies , don't make this harder than it needs to be . Ask around about Scarface's reputation . Stick with me , and you'll be living the good life ! " As he spoke , Scarface reached out to touch Sarah's face . Sarah's eyes turned sharp as she seized his thick wrist in her delicate hand . Despite being over six feet tall , Scarface found himself immobilized by pain , his face contorting . " You bit - agh ! Ow , ow , ow ! " He couldn't even finish his insult before howling in pain . Damn , what kind of woman had this strength ? " Leave . " Sarah didn't want to cause trouble at the new bar , so she released him with a single cold word . Scarlett , perfectly in sync , smoothly pulled out a wet wipe and handed it to Sarah with a smile . Sarah took it and , in front of the thugs , deliberately wiped her hands with obvious disgust , even cleaning between her fingers . Humiliated and enraged , Scarface shouted at his men , " What are you idiots standing around for ? Am I paying you to do nothing ? Grab these girls ! We'll teach them some manners tonight ! " Still trying to play tough ? Sarah's brows furrowed , but her eyes sparkled with anticipation . Perfect timing - she'd been looking for a way to release her frustration . These guys would make excellent punching bags ! Scarface lunged at her with a raised fist . Sarah simply sidestepped and delivered a sharp knee to his stomach , dropping him instantly . Seeing this , his men finally reacted , charging at her with raised fists . They thought they could take on one girl together they were wrong . - 1/2 Starlight Bar was buzzing ! Videos of a beautiful woman beating up thugs on opening night went viral before she'd even finished teaching them their lesson . Before Sarah could fully enjoy herself , the police arrived . She stopped ; right on cue . The officers glanced at the familiar faces sprawled on the floor - they'd dealt with these troublemakers before . " Who called the police ? " the lead officer asked , scanning the crowd . " I did . " A deep , magnetic voice responded . Sarah froze , looking up to see Zachary's handsome face . Zachary ? What was he doing here ? Steven stood beside Zachary , enthusiastically waving hello to Sarah . He couldn't understand his boss's thinking . It had been a perfect chance to play hero , but instead , Zachary had watched from afar , calmly called the police , and even stopped Steven from helping . It was almost as if … as if he'd known all along that Sarah could handle herself .
