淑女的欲望

She took another sip of her coffee, staring intently at the door, waiting for her enemies to appear. She could feel Logan's eyes on her but didn't turn to face him.

"Ma'am, are you sure about this?" Logan asked, finally breaking the silence between them. "This seems like a dangerous game to play."

Logan asked though he had no idea what Scarlett meant by suddenly asking him to go to a cafe — disguised in a fake dark blonde hair wig, he also had to wear a mustache — for coffee when they should be preparing to return to the capital. If his master discovers this, his master might send him to hell's door.

"I told you, just enjoy your coffee!" Scarlett replied firmly.

Logan nodded, but his expression remained worried. Scarlett knew he was concerned, but she had no choice but to take the risk. She had to know what her enemy was, no matter the cost.

Before long...

Scarlett's heart sank when she spotted the man with the long black coat and black glasses, followed by a group of men in black. His ginger red hair made him stand out even more, and Scarlett's hands clenched as she watched him approach the coffee shop.

'What is he doing here?' she muttered, feeling fear and anger. She knew that this man usually sent his people to track her, but she never expected him to come himself.

Just as she was about to turn her attention to Logan, Scarlett's eyes spotted a pale-skinned man in a black hoodie and baseball cap. He was walking a few steps behind. With just a glance, Scarlett knew the man was in the same group as the ginger red-haired man.

Her heart sank when she recognized the man, "Xiu! No wonder they can locate me so easily." Scarlett could only bitterly smile.

Now that she knew who her opponent was, she felt a sense of relief. She could hide for a while and devise a plan to strike back. However, she knew she couldn't afford to make any mistakes this time. She needed to discuss her strategy with Rex before making any moves.

One thing was sure — she wouldn't let her opponent win. She would do whatever it took to eliminate the threat and protect her family and loved ones.

Scarlett couldn't let the thought of failure enter her mind. She has to stay focused and stay one step ahead of her opponents. It is a fight for survival, and she is determined to emerge victorious.

After spotting the ginger-haired man and his entourage heading up to the second floor of the café, Scarlett signals Logan to follow her outside. She had already obtained the information she needed.

As soon as they got into the waiting car parked nearby, Logan asked, "Ma'am, are we finished?"

"Yes. Let's go back to the capital!" Scarlett replied. They drove straight to the airport for their return flight to the capital. Scarlett was eager to see her husband.

As they approached the airport, Scarlett's thoughts drifted to her husband. She took her phone and called him.

...

At the cafe shop,

The ginger-red hair man stood rigidly, staring through the window at the busy street below. The veins throbbing in his forehead indicated his growing frustration as he received news from his men.

"What do you mean she's not here?" he barked, his voice tinged with impatience. "Have you scoured the place?"

"Y-yes, sir," the group of men in black answered in unison, their heads lowered in respect. "We searched the whole cafe, but she wasn't there."

The man clenched his jaw, his fingers grasped at his sides. He was so close to finding her, yet she managed to slip away again. He knew he couldn't lose her this time, not when the stakes were so high.

The ginger-red hair man's sharp gaze intensified as he glared at Xiu, clearly frustrated. "You said she was online from this place. So where is she?" he demanded.

Xiu held his ground, unwavering despite the man's hostile tone. "The signal was coming from this location a few minutes ago, but I only caught a glimpse before I had to report to you. So, I don't know how long she's been here, but I'm certain she was here..."

The ginger-hair red man's impatience grew, and he raised his voice in annoyance. "So what are you waiting for? Check the CCTV footage! I want to see the CCTV in person...."

"Yes, master!" Xiu replied. He swiftly approached a nearby corner, where he pulled out his laptop from his backpack to retrieve the footage.

After Xiu left, the ginger-red hair man turned to his other minion, his eyes filled with determination. "We need to widen our search. Keep a close eye out and report back to me immediately when you spot her. But do not lose her this time. Are we clear?"

The men nodded in unison, acknowledging their leader's orders. With a swift nod, they dispersed, leaving the ginger-red hair man alone with his thoughts.

The ginger-hair man knows time is running out, and he must find her before she disappears again, and it might be for good. The thought unsettled him, and he couldn't shake the urgency gripping him.

He had to quickly act. And quick is a must if he wants to catch her before it is too late. He didn't want her to disappear without a trace again.

Within a year, they couldn't find her trail at all. It was as if she had vanished from this earth. However, the appearance of the woman's signal up to three times in this place made him believe that the woman was really there.

After a while,

Xiu returned to the ginger-red hair man with a frustrated look on his face.

With one glance, the man knew that Xiu had come empty-handed. His hands clenched involuntarily, and anger began to well up inside him.

'Bloody hell!! She had slipped through our fingers again?' He cursed inwardly.

"Xiu, what have you found?" he asked, his voice tight with fury.

"Master, I've checked the CCTV footage. But I couldn't find any trace of her. It seems she has never been here," Xiu replied, his disbelief evident in his tone. "I even checked to see if anyone had accessed their laptop in this café. But there was no sign of it... No one opened the laptop!"

The ginger-red hair man felt a sense of defeat wash over him. It seemed their target was one step ahead of them, and he didn't know how long he could keep up this game of cat and mouse. But he knew one thing for sure — he couldn't give up yet. He will for sure find her!!
