The Bodyguard System

"What a stunning beauty! Young lady, you are definitely the definition of beauty in this world."

"Hehe, young beauty, what do you think about going out to have a drink with me?"

"Now that I have seen you young beauty, I can comfortably fall in love…with you."

"Hey you, stop dreaming. You are falling in love or you are simply losing it?"

"What do you know. This is love at first sight. You won't believe it when I tell you that this is the first time that I have fallen in love."

"That's right. I don't believe you. Everyone can easily tell that you are lying."

"Who said that I'm lying? This is the first time that I have fallen in love, really. So, young lady, you will have to take responsibility for snatching my heart."

"You! So you lied to me all this time? You told me that you loved me! Turns out that you are just messing with my heart? Why did you marry me if you didn't love me?"

"Hey, don't you know? I liked you when you were beautiful, not loved. Besides, you are so old now, I no longer like you."

"You! How dare you call me old, you wretched old man?! I'm younger than you by twenty years yet you still have the audacity to call me old?"

"Who cares?! You are old but my heart is still so young. My heart just turned twenty today."

Looking at the crowd that was shouting at each other, with others with eyes full of lust, claiming that they loved her, Scarlet was completely disgusted.

At this moment, she impulsively felt the urge to go ahead and beat up this group of people in front of her. But in the end, she still managed to prevent herself from doing that. After all, if she attacked right now, she would be blamed.

It was clear that they were looking at her with lecherous gazes, but none of them had touched her. For that reason, if she attacked, she would be the one that would be seen as unreasonable. And more than that, she was wearing a dress at this moment, making it inconvenient for her to attack.

Jaden had been pushed off into the distance by this group of hungry hyenas. He did not try using his strength to push them away, as he did not want to start a commotion with some unreasonable people in the crowd.

Nonetheless, he made sure to maintain a certain distance from Scarlet. That way, he would be able to act in case anybody tried something on Scarlet.

When he noticed Scarlet's gaze, Jaden immediately pushed the crowd aside, to get to Scarlet. He already knew about Scarlet's personality, especially in a situation like this. So, he was afraid that she might end up attacking those that were lecherously talking to her.

But, he was relieved when he saw that she managed to hold back. At this point, he felt that the curses that he had suffered when shoving away people in his path were definitely not worth it.

Despite that, Jaden was amazed by the transformation that Scarlet had undergone after she changed into this dress. The only things that she was missing to complete the look were a pair of high heels and a few accessories.

Nevertheless, she looked beautiful. He could understand the feeling of these men, especially those old men among the group that liked to find beauties to spend money on.

Even though Scarlet was not wearing any make-up, she did not need it. After all, she was a natural beauty. And now that she had dressed like a proper lady, the beauty that she possessed was finally exhibited.

"I will take this one!" Scarlet shouted at the little saleslady that had been pushed far away by the crowd. She was struggling to get back, but she could not struggle with the men that were blocking her path, or the ladies that relentlessly tried to get their men back while staring at Scarlet with jealousy and hatred.

Upon hearing Scarlet's words, she felt extreme resentful. If she had the ability, she would definitely wrestle this group of people. If she was next to Scarlet, she was sure that she could have managed to convince Scarlet to buy more dresses.

But she was unlucky today. After all, the traffic in the store this time was higher than normal. And, it seemed that the majority of the people here were lecherous, as they had been attracted towards Scarlet by her beauty.

She just hoped that Scarlet would come back another time. And, she hoped that if Scarlet came back, she would be the one to serve her. Otherwise, this customer would go to someone else.

Immediately after speaking, Scarlet went back into the changing room to change out of the dress.

While she was changing, the manager of the store came out. She was immediately informed about what was happening. She immediately intervened, barely managing to make sure that the crowd would no longer gather in the same spot and make a customer uncomfortable.

When Scarlet came out of the changing room, she was relieved when she noticed that there was no longer a crowd of people waiting for her. Though, she could see that they were gazing at her from a distance.

Scarlet looked at the saleslady and said, "Wrap this up for me. I want to pay so that I can leave. I have other things that I have to take care of."

"Yes of course. You don't mind if I add shoes and a few accessories that match this dress, do you?" The lady asked as she looked at Scarlet hopefully.

Even if she could not convince Scarlet to try the other dresses, she could at least sell other things to her, right?

Scarlet was caught off-guard by the question. In the end, looking at the eyes of the lady that were looking back at her, she agreed, though she did not have the intention of trying them on.

Jaden looked at this young lady. He felt that this lady was quite unusual. Just as she had claimed before, the dress that she had selected matched Scarlet's personality. As for how she had identified Scarlet's personality in such a short time, Jaden could not tell.

The two of them waited for a while as the lady went ahead to complete the procedures for them. After picking up the shoes, a necklace and a pair of earrings, she came back and showed them to Scarlet.

Scarlet did not even bother to clearly look at the items that the lady had brought as she nodded in acceptance. She felt that she would beat someone if she continued staying here.

The lady bounced off happily and packed the items in a Gucci shopping bag after she had wrapped them up well. Then, she came to Scarlet and told her the bill, which Scarlet despite being a little surprised, paid using her card.

After everything was done, the two of the walked out of the store. Scarlet seemed to be in a hurry, as if she was running away from a flame that might burn her.

Jaden followed behind her, though he noticed that there was a group of people that was rushing after them from within the store.

Without having to guess or remember their appearances, Jaden could tell that they were among those that had approached Scarlet before.

The one in the lead was a man with a few strands of hair stubbornly remaining on his otherwise bald head. He smiled the best he could as he stood in front of Scarlet after overtaking her.

He was already sweating just after running for a short distance, though it was commendable considering his huge belly that made others doubt if he could even see his own feet.

"Young miss, I'm '&£€', the manager of '$##' construction company. Here is my card." The man said as he handed a card over to Scarlet with a bright smile.

His eyes were basically squinted on his square face as he was smiling with all his strength. Though, the eyes could be seen, though barely.

Tah!

Scarlet slapped away the card that was being handed over. Then, with a cold expression on her face, she uttered, "Scram right now and get your dirty face away from me!"

At this point, Scarlet was having a hard time holding herself back from attacking. If she could, she would have already kicked this guy away. It was just that she did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, especially considering that she did not want Clifford to start grounding her again.

The man standing In front of her was baffled when he heard her words. He had tried doing this many times already, but he had never failed. As long as they heard that he was the manager of '$##' construction company, most of the ladies would definitely be polite with him, with others going to the extent of asking for his contact information first.

Just as he was still trying to come into terms with what was happening, he suddenly felt his body being shoved to the side. He stumbled, nearly falling onto the ground.

When he looked up, he realized that the one that had pushed him away was none other than Scarlet. He gritted his teeth and was just about to chase after her when he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

He looked ahead, only to meet with a fierce glare. He immediately stopped thinking about chasing the lady, at least for now.

Jaden glared at those that were intending on coming after Scarlet, immediately making them back down. His gaze was obviously not what an ordinary person could have.

Jaden understood that if somebody caused trouble for Scarlet again, she would find it difficult not to attack them. So, it was better to ensure that something like that did not happen.
