The Bodyguard System

The momt that the lady appeared, she looked a. Th, wh she noticed Scarlet, she immediately headed towards her with a smile on her face.

"It\'s be a long time since we last met Scarlet. How have you be?" The lady asked with a smile as she hugged Scarlet. From this, it could be se that the two of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

"Nothing much. Just be going a while feeling a little uncomfortable." Scarlet responded as she struggled to get out of the embrace.

"What are you struggling with? Why don\'t you tell Vinct about it? I\'m pretty sure that he can help you with that, right?" The lady asked with a cheeky smile on her face.

Vinct on the other hand wanted to complain. Had it not be for the fact that currtly, his mouth was sealed by the bandages, he would have already spok.

Still, the embarrassmt could be se through his eyes, together with annoyance. But still, there was nothing that he could do right now. After all, he was not going to be beating his cousin, and additionally, with his mouth sealed, there was nothing that he could say.

In the d, he could only helplessly continue standing in the same position, while hoping that his cousin would not speak much nonsse. At the same time, he hoped that Scarlet would have them leave this place as soon as possible. He was not willing to be closer to this cousin of his at all.

She was just too overprotective that it was embarrassing at some momts. That was especially so considering that he was a man. In fact, it was his cousin that had made him start competing with Scarlet.

Otherwise, considering the relationship betwe them, he would have definitely not be trying to compete with Scarlet, especially considering the fact that she was a lady. It was just that he was trying to prove his dignity as a man, that he could not be defeated by a lady.

"Nah. That is something that he cannot handle at all. I\'m pretty sure that if I tell him about it, he will definitely run away." Scarlet responded with a smile. At the same time, she stole a glance at Jad through the corner of her eyes.

The lady raised her brows a little upon hearing that. At the same time, she had noticed that Scarlet had stol a glance at Jad. She looked over.

The guy looked quite ordinary, but still, he was kind of charming. It might be true that his appearance was not considered as the most handsome, but still, he was quite handsome. Additionally, he possessed quite a high charm.

With a knowing smile on her face, the lady asked, "So, you have already gott a boyfrid? I never thought of that. What capabilities does this guy possess to be able to make Vinct back off?"

For the first time, a shade of red appeared on Scarlet\'s face before it disappeared. She immediately glared at the lady in front of her and said, "Susan, what nonsse are you talking about? He is not my boyfrid. I don\'t have a boyfrid."

As she said that, she glanced at Jad. And wh she realized that there was no any change of his expression to what Susan had said, she was immediately relieved. She hoped that Jad would not get any ideas about her. She was not willing to have a boyfrid at this momt. In short, she was not ready to get in any relationship for now.

"Oh." Susan responded with raised brows. But still, it was clear that she did not believe what Scarlet had said. Scarlet on the other hand did not say anything more, ev after realizing that Susan did not seem to believe what she had said.

"Hey, my name is Susan. I am Vinct\'s cousin, and Scarlet\'s frid." Susan wt ahead and introduced herself to Jad as she offered her hand for a greeting.

Jad reacted immediately and stretched his hand to receive hers. He gave a nod and said, "My name is Jad. Nice to meet you." Immediately after saying those words, he released her hand.

Susan looked at Jad with some kind of curiosity. At the same time, she asked, "You know, your introduction is kind of incomplete. Wh I introduced myself, I stated the relationship that I share with Scarlet. So, what is the relationship betwe you and Scarlet?"

Jad was just about to respond wh suddly, Scarlet came and stood betwe the two of them. She glared at Susan and said, "What does it concern you about the relationship that we share? Anyway, I don\'t think that it is that much important."

"Oh ho! Now look at that! I knew it. The relationship betwe the two of you is definitely not that simple. Why are you trying to hide that you are having a boyfrid? It is normal for a girl of your age to have a boyfrid.

So, you don\'t have to be embarrassed about it." Susan stated with a knowing smile.

"Who is embarrassed about having a boyfrid? I just don\'t want to have a boyfrid right now. Additionally, he is not my boyfrid, instead, he is my bodyguard." Scarlet responded a little exasperatedly.

She understood that if she did not clarify the relationship betwe Jad and herself at this momt, Susan would go ahead and think that the two of them were in a relationship.

It was not wrong for her to get into a relationship. But still, she was not willing to get into a relationship at this momt. Additionally, she was not willing to have any form of misunderstanding. So, it was better for her to clarify things right now, before the misunderstanding began spreading out.

"A bodyguard?" Susan asked with a surprised voice. At the same time, she continued to scrutinize Jad after she pushed Scarlet to the side.

She th shifted her gaze and looked at Scarlet and asked, "Are you sure about that? Why does it seem like you are lying? This guy does not look like a bodyguard at all."

"How can I not be sure about a person\'s role? He is the currt bodyguard that my family got for me. Okay, no more questions." Scarlet responded helplessly. Susan was quite talkative and was always curious about almost everything.

So, most of the time, Scarlet would try to avoid her, especially during the time that there was something that could make Susan curious about her. If she met with Susan during the time that there was something that she could get curious about her, th Susan would definitely not let her go with a barrage of questions.

"Tsk tsk! I thought that you don\'t like bodyguards. But from the looks of it, this one is differt. According to how I know you, you would definitely not be standing up for him. Additionally, by now, you would have already found a way to chase this person away." Susan stated bluntly, immediately revealing some of Scarlet\'s secrets.

"Get lost! What do you care?" Scarlet responded a little irritatedly. Nevertheless, she did not want to discuss much more about this subject. She understood the reason why she did not want to chase Jad away anymore.

At the d of it all, if she did not want Jad to be with her, that implied that she would never be allowed to leave her residce, unless her family had already dealt with the Williams.

Or if she wanted to go out and Jad had already left, that implied that she would have to get another bodyguard. But of course, she did not believe that it was going to be easy to be able to get a person like Jad. This guy was always silt, minding his own business.

At least, that was something that Scarlett was pleased with wh it came to Jad. At least, he did not poke his nose into business that did not concern him. And if she was in trouble, he would offer his assistance. More than that, his skills were way above the bodyguards that she had gott before.

If Jad left, she was not sure that she would be able to get another bodyguard that possessed the same level of skills as Jad. If that was the case, how was she supposed to be trained?

"Okay, okay. I give up. Though, I\'m quite curious about his origin. Is he that skilled? Otherwise, you would have already managed to sd…." Susan raised her hands in the air in form of submission. Th, she wt ahead to ask.

But before she could ev finish her statemt, Scarlet had already covered her mouth. Currtly, Scarlett was looking at her as if she was going to swallow her whole. So, in the d, Susan could only give up on the question that she was hoping that Scarlet could answer.

"Alright. We are leaving." Scarlet stated. From her tone, it was clear that there was no room for discussion. Immediately after saying those words, she turned a and headed towards the exit.

Jad immediately followed behind her, before the rest of the group did so. Vinct was also following the group, hoping that his cousin would not notice her, wh his movemts suddly froze wh Susan spoke up.

"Hey Vinct. Make sure you take care of yourself. Additionally, don\'t take off those bandages. Make sure that dad and mom see them. Otherwise, I\'m going to wrap you up like a mummy the next time that we meet, and I\'ll sure that you will no longer be involved in risky things." Susan stated with a serious expression on her face.
