Rex's words were like thunder in Scarlett's ears.
'X-Xander...'
Rex laughed secretly at Scarlett's panicked face. This girl, being too naive, left her husband and went after the criminal alone. Is she impatient to reveal her identity as a mber of The Fox!?
"What should I do about my husband!?" Scarlett imdiately took out her cell phone. She called Xander right away. But Xander still didn't pick up his phone after she tried twice.
Scarlett's face looks increasingly worried.
Her worries were confird. Xander must be mad at her; it's past midnight, and she's still in the middle of the forest instead of sleeping with him!
"Xander, please, please pick up! Why? Why did you not pick up your phone? Did you get mad at ?" Scarlett muttered as she tried to call Xander a few tis. Her mind was a complete ss because this was new to her. She forgot she was newly married when she eliminated that band of criminals. And now, she couldn't think straight.
"Chill!!" Rex was amused at how cute her panicked face was right now. He wanted to tease her, but he held back, seeing how sad her eyes were now.
Scarlett's sharp gaze made Rex frown, he said, "What? Just say what you want to say!! Why are you looking at like that?" He stepped back, worried that this girl might do sothing to him.
"Should I tell Xander about my identity? Tell him everything would be easier than continuing to cover this up…."
"Hell no!! Don't you dare!" Instantly Rex's face changed from cheerful to gloomy and now to displease.
"Why can't I be honest with him? Xander is a person who can keep secrets. I believe you know that! He would never reveal my identity to others. So, there's nothing wrong with telling him, right?" Her eyes glowed with a determined look.
Rex crossed his arms over his chest, shaking his head slowly. For so reason, his tongue beca numb seeing the look in her eyes.
"I won't say I'm a mber of The Fox, don't worry! I'll tell him I know how to use a gun and am very skillful in kicking the ass of any bad guys!" Scarlett said seriously. But, little did she know Xander was already aware that she was a martial arts expert.
A frown appeared on Rex's face, and for a while, he seed to be thinking about sothing deeply. After so ti, he said, "It seems you haven't dug into Xander's personal profile yet?"
Seeing this girl's frown made Rex chuckle, "No. You can't tell him. It will be complicated if that guy discovers your identity as Three!"
"What do you an?" Scarlett asks in confusion.
"You need to check Xander Riley's personal profile, and you will have your answer." Rex shook his head. "But I'm unsure if you have enough skill to dig up his secret! There is more to your husband than what you already know."
He's lucky to get to know Xander first, so he knows what others don't.
Scarlett was stunned. Despite being curious after hearing Rex's words, her principles would never waver.
"Brother Rex! You know sothing about my husband that I don't, do you? You must tell what it is. You know I would never hack my way to get my family and loved ones' secrets, right!? So if you don't tell , I will never know."
This is her principle as a professional hacker. She would never hack into her family mbers unless they did sothing evil to her.
"That is your choice! I don't care. But you will never hear what it is from ." Rex said.
"Oh, co on. My dear brother, can you tell …. please? If you won't tell , at least allow to tell my husband about my hidden skills." Scarlett begged while tugging at his coat. Trying to act like a little sister begging her big brother. But, of course, this man didn't fall into her honey trap. Geez!
"Three, darling, listen. As your team leader, I forbid you to tell your husband about your hidden skills! Not only will you be in trouble, but so will the entire organization. Okay, I will say no more about that. And you will do so too." His eyes flickered with intense emotion.
No words left her mouth as she was shocked by what she had heard. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Sohow she felt angry at herself for nearly endangering the organization.
'Who is Xander, really? Why is The Fox even afraid of him?' Her mind was now filled with questions like these. It made her want to dig up information about Xander! Even though it will break her principle.
Amidst her confusion, Scarlett faintly heard Rex say, "As for what happened in this place, leave it to . I'll take care of it. But I need your help to distract him with your spell! He'll definitely be bewitched and follow your words..." Then he almost laughed, thinking of his plan to teach Xander, his ex-friend, an excellent lesson.
Scarlett opened her eyes and looked at Rex.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "How are you going to handle it? Share with so what we say is the sa and not make him suspicious."
Just before Rex wanted to say sothing, he saw the light coming from the street. Several cars are approaching.
He touched the black device that stuck to his ear like an earpods.
"Who?" He said softly. After hearing the report from the other end, a smirk appeared on his lip's corner.
"Brother Rex!?" She was confused to see Rex ignore her.
"Scarlett, you can seduce him now!" Rex glanced at Scarlett and smiled.
"Seduce? Him? Who are you talking about?" She still didn't realize that a car had stopped before the gate.
"Hey! Focus. Who else would I talk about? Your husband, of course! You can tell him that you are following the suspect in the murder case to this place. And that they nearly capture you. Luckily, I was coming to rescue you…."
"Huh!?" She is still clueless.
