104 It's A Date Scarlett's POV

| stare at him, my body freezes because my brain is processing too many questions to give any order.

Did Jack Fuller send him? Why does he still wantto stay?? How did he even know | was here???! didn't tell

anyone, and it was as abrupt and out of expectation as it can be! Ava? Gabriel? Sebastian? None of them knows!

Not even Aurora and Lilith! "Scar, breathe!" Adrian shakes me, and | turn to him slowly, tears blurring my sight,

"This is Mateo, my secretary. I'm sorry | scared you, but you need to breathe. Scar!"

| gasp, supporting myself against his car, blinking as my stunned brain slowly gets around it. Water flows down

my face.

"I thought-" | say, only to bite my lips. My voice is twisted. One more word and | will burst into a loud cry.

"I know, | know..." Adrian hugs me, pettingon the back gently, "You are okay, you are safe... sorry, but they

are not here to catch you..."

I'm really

| can't believe how stupid | was, and now | can't look up from Adrian's arms, especially at his stunned secretary.

Pretty sure he is staring atwith just as shocked and scared look as | had. "Let's find a place to sit-

"I'm fine," | jump out of his arms, still having the pure fear of Jack Fuller's men coming forvividly in my mind.

"Let's get the tickets first. | just want to leave... as fast as | can."

"Okay." Adrian looks worried, but he doesn't object, "Mateo, do you have the card?"

"Take this card. You will need it to settle down," Adrian walks into the lobby with me, followed by his secretary

who handsa debit card, "This is your salary account, registered by the company. You get only the first month

in advance, okay?"

| almost said no until | heard his unnecessary long explanation. "Thanks...really," | take the card, suddenly

assured about my unknown adventure. Money is not everything, but it provides security more than any luggage.

Adrian comes back with two tickets in his hand. | hesitate before reaching over for them. He dodges my

hand.

"I'm coming with you," Adrian says with a dominant tone, "Just for a few days until you can settle down."

"I don't-" | shake my head and he already turned and started striding for the security line.

His damn long legs! | can barely keep up as | basically jog beside him, "Adrian, I'm serious! | can't let you do-"

"You promised you'd helpwith Aurora," He glances at me, and when his eyes land on my legs, a smirk crawls

onto his lips, "I don't imagine she would be too happy if she later found out that I'let you go to a new city with

nothing on you, alone." "I literally have a new debit card assigned by a billionaire!" | hiss at him, but fail to

snatch the tickets from him.

"How about this, shorty," Adrian raises his hand as he stops at the end of the security line, taunting me, Once we

get on the plane, you can let your best friend know that | flew you out of the city, and she can follow us to North

Dakota, where | will be able to spend twith her. How's that, my wingman?"

Huh. That...actually sounds like a great idea.

"But your company-"I frown, remembering how busy Aurora is every day. She doesn't look like the chief of a

company, but a cheap labor of the lowest rank, considering her breakfast is usually a slice of bread. "They will

survive withoutfor a few days," Adrian squints his eyes, seeing through me, "Aurora just got a whole

company assigned to her, with a bunch of old heads to tame. It's natural if she is twirling around."

| cock my eyebrows at him: "Paying sattention to her, huh? While you were in love with me"? Hmph!" He

rolls his eyes, so mad that he laughs. "That's not taking it into your grave-you know what, never mind!" "Uh-

huh," | nod with a disbelieving look and he rubs his face in frustration.

"I keep an eye on a lot of things-!" Adrian whines after a while, still bothered about my "accusation", "just

happen to know-"

"Adrian," | cut him off, his eyes follow my sight, and the smile fades from his face.

Walking toward us is Jack Fuller, followed by four bodyguards.
