淑女的欲望

After seeing Lauren not moving anymore, she walked to Lauren's car to take all the evidence. Still, before she opened the car door, she could feel someone from a particular direction watching her.

"It will be troublesome if there are witnesses!!" Scarlett muttered as she tried to find the person.

After a few seconds, a frown appeared on her face. And for a while, she seemed to be thinking about something deeply.

Later...

Scarlett picked up her cell phone and quickly typed in one particular app. Then she made a phone call. After a few seconds, a panicked voice came from the other end.

"SEVEN! Who asked you to follow me!?" Hearing Scarlett's cold voice, the man on the other end froze.

"...T-TWO!"

'Damn it!!' Scarlett cursed the man in her heart before saying, "...come here at once. I need you to clean up this mess." She said and ended the phone call.

Scarlett immediately took all of Lauren's belongings in the black car. Then she returned to her car.

She started the vehicle engine and turned the car towards the main road. However, she didn't leave the place immediately. She stopped the car waiting for Seven to arrive at her location.

As Seven stood outside her car, she asked curiously, "Since when did you follow me?"

Seven is famous for his ghost ability; he can follow his target without knowing it. And Scarlett was sure that this man must have been following her for a few days.

Seven scratched his short black hair before he replied, "Ever since you landed on this island."

"Gosh... You've been following me for a week!?" Scarlett was amazed by his increased abilities. "You're getting better. I just noticed you after a week..."

"Hahaha, don't praise me too highly. In fact, you are the one who is still sharp. Even though you haven't been on the field for a long time, you are still aware of my presence!" Seven couldn't help but raise his thumb to praise Scarlett.

Scarlett just waved her hand, not responding to his words. She said, "After clearing this place, return to your base! I will be leaving the island tonight. I don't need your guard..."

Seven was surprised to hear her words, "But..."

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ She glared at him, "Do I look weak to you!? If you don't obey me, I will call him now and complain!!" Her commanding voice was enough to make Seven shudders.

He knew how heartless this woman was. In their guild, anyone who messed with her would meet a tragic end or at least have a miserable life. They would suddenly be eliminated from the Twelve Core or Inner Members and sent straight to the outer member.

After years, he enjoyed the seventh rank in the Guild — Hence the nickname SEVEN — He'd rather die than return to that stage, starting as an Outer member again.

He couldn't provoke her, even though he had to disobey the number TWO order.

'Damn it! These numbers Two and Three are like a death note to me!!' Seven could only lament his bad luck in his heart because he was the one who got this assignment.

He put his best smile before saying, "Y-Yes... I will! Of course, I will. You can call me anytime you need anything from me."

Scarlett's smile saw this man obey her so quickly. She nodded and stepped on the gas but suddenly hit the brake. The car suddenly stopped after a few meters.

She rolled down the window and looked at Seven.

"Seven, did you report about this ambush?" Scarlett asks.

"Yes, I reported to him before you noticed me…"

Scarlett didn't say another word. She immediately left that place by driving her car fast towards the hotel. James and Logan must be worried about her, and they could be late for the meeting at Ocean Group.

In a Beach Front Hotel.

Logan and James sat in the lobby in a tense state. It had been two hours since they had heard from David Irvin that Scarlett had left the Piers residence, but, until now, she had not arrived.

Even though the distance from Piers' residence to the hotel is not that far, only about 15 minutes drive.

An hour ago, he asked someone to check the road. Still, there was no accident from the hotel to the Piers' house and the area surrounding it — The young Madam seemed to have disappeared without a trace. And obviously, this made him very worried.

"James, should we report to the master Xander?" Logan asked fearfully. He feared the Master would scold him because he let the young Madam unassisted.

And since earlier, it had crossed his mind that the people who attacked her in the graveyard a few days ago would return to attack her.

After seemingly a long silence, James said, "Wait another thirty minutes. If she hasn't come, ask someone to check the CCTV!"

They didn't want to do that earlier because if they asked someone to check the CCTV, then Master Xander would know about it.

Logan nodded in agreement. "Young Madam must be fine!"

"Yeah, of course, she should be fine. Didn't you say she's good at martial arts!?"

"Yes!" said Logan. However, until now, his mind has not yet calmed down.

Before long...

"She's coming!!" shouted James when he saw the familiar car. They rushed outside to stay at the main entrance without waiting.

Scarlett could see Logan and James standing at the main entrance, and it was apparent on their faces that they were both worried. She became regretful for ignoring their calls and texts.

"Ma'am... Is there any trouble on the way?" Logan immediately opened the car door for Scarlett as soon as the car stopped.

"Nothing Happen!" Scarlett's answer still made them curious.

"Young Madam, you are back. Is everything fine? Why have you arrived just now?" James asked calmly, but Scarlett could see how worried his expression was now.

"Guys, why do you both look worried? I'm fine. This island is the safest in the country. Don't worry, I'm just dropping by somewhere..."

Scarlett casually replied and smiled to make them feel better. Then, she walked into the hotel before asking them to order lunch for her and themselves at a restaurant. She was famished — it was way past lunchtime.
