The Bodyguard System

"…Although she is a little troublesome, I do believe that you will be capable of taking care of it. After all, you do possess quite some skills, right?" Anthony stated with a serious expression on his face.

"There is no problem with that. As long as everything goes well, I will be able to make sure that your sister's security is ensured." Jaden responded.

Upon noticing the confidence that Jaden possessed, Anthony was immediately relieved. At least, despite the problems that they had already faced, Jaden still possessed the confidence that he would be able to take care of Scarlet.

Of course, he could not forget about the fact that this might just be pure arrogance and flattery that Jaden possessed. Nevertheless, the few abilities that Jaden had shown were enough to be able to convince Anthony that Jaden definitely possessed more skills.

Anthony then went ahead and left, going to discuss with Clifford about the results of the negotiation. Despite it being called a negotiation, the two sides had already come to an agreement earlier than that. That meeting was just part of the motions that were being carried out, but they did not have any much effect on the decisions already made by the two families.

It could be said that other than knowing what the decision of the other party was, there was not much to say in that meeting. So, the moment that Anthony arrived back in the mansion, he immediately went to look for his father Clifford.

It was then that he was informed that Clifford had already left. He had no choice but to wait, while dealing with the grumpy and impatient Scarlet, who was waiting for the permission from Clifford, so that she could be allowed to roam around for an entire week without being questioned.

Jaden on the other hand did not have much to do. Instead, he decided to relax for a while. At the same time, he could not help but wonder if he could be allowed to go and look for the old man that he had taken to the hospital.

The old man was alone In the hospital, so, it would have been better if Jaden would have been there. After all, even if there was somebody that had been arranged for to take care of the old man, the old man was not familiar with them.

….

While Jaden was busy with his own things, Lucas on the other hand was completely nervous and anxious. For the past few days, the men that he had sent to take care of Jaden had not come back.

Additionally, the report that he was getting from them clearly did not make him happy at all. According to them, they had not managed to find Jaden for quite a while now. It was as if Jaden was hiding his presence.

In fact, everything about where he was, seemed to be deliberately hidden. It was clear that this was a move by somebody else, just to ensure that they did not succeed to find Jaden.

If they did not find Jaden, he would not be able to complete the mission that had been assigned to him by his family. That was something that was making him both anxious and nervous. He could not go back without the results.

Of course, the results that were being expected back had to be positive. Otherwise, there would be trouble. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the cold man in front of him.

He was currently pondering, on if he was supposed to send this guy over to go and deal with the matter. After all, since this guy had been assigned to him by his father, it was clear that he possessed quite some capabilities, at least better than the ones that he had sent possessed.

But when he thought much about it, he decided against it. It did not seem like this guy was going to listen to him anyway. Just looking at the cold expression that he possessed, together with the nonchalant expression that was on his face, it was clear that he really did not care much about Lucas' young master title.

There was nothing else that he could do other than venting by breaking several things within the room that he was currently in. As for the matter of compensation to the hotel, he did not care. After all, the cost of the items that he had broken were nothing to him at all.

After a while, he suddenly looked at the cold man and said, "I'm going out. I need to get myself a drink." find-more-stories-on-NovelFire

Then without waiting for the response of the other party, he immediately left the hotel room that he was currently in. He was going to a club, despite the fact that it was at daytime.

The man on the other hand did not say anything and immediately followed after Lucas. All this while, ever since they had gotten together, this guy had never said a single word. As for why that was the case, whether he was dumb or did not want to speak, nobody knew.

….

For the rest of the day, Scarlet continued training with Sylvia. Despite the fact that she was currently at a disadvantage when the two of them fought against each other, she did not lose too badly as compared to before.

Nevertheless, she would always lose against Sylvia. So, it was the same on this day, considering that despite the fact that she was being trained by Jaden, it had only been a few days. So, it was impossible for her to be able to improve fast enough to be able to deal with Sylvia in just two days.

It could be said that by fighting with Sylvia, she did not suffer much as compared to before. But even then, that did not mean that she was not as irritated as before. She was of course irritated by the fact that she was not capable of dealing with Sylvia.

So, other than the irritation that she possessed from not being able to reach Clifford for the rest of the day, there was the irritation that came with the fact that she was being defeated again and again. Sylvia had already noticed that Scarlet was a little restless. So, she asked her about it, and Scarlet responded that she could not reach her father.

When she arrived at the mansion, she had been informed that her father had left to handle some business. She immediately decided to call him, so that he could grant her the permission.

The phone kept on ringing, but there was no response from the other end. Other than making her worried, she was also irritated by the fact that her father was not capable of responding to her, despite attempting more than 10 times to call him.

She understood that if he did not respond, it was clear that he was currently driving, or he was in a very important meeting. That was especially so considering that the family was in a precarious situation, dealing with the Williams.

Despite knowing all of that, she did not care. Although she was not going to go out and look for her father, or vent to him for not receiving the calls, still, she was not happy about it.

Sylvia could not help but get a little helpless after hearing what Scarlet had said. This girl always knew how to cause trouble. Despite knowing that the family was in trouble, instead of helping, he might even go ahead and cause even more problems for the family.

It was then that she suddenly thought of something. Ever since Jaden came over, the number of times that Scarlet had ever caused trouble had reduced. Despite it being only a few days ever since Jaden came over, it was still enough to be able to observe the changes that had occurred.

Moreover, for some reason, it seemed that Scarlet had become quite thoughtful as of recent. She did not cause much unnecessary trouble, even though she was still troublesome.

"By the way, where is Jaden? Fighting with you does not help me that much. So, I do hope that I can fight with him, so that I can continue improving myself." Sylvia asked as she looked at Scarlett who was already gasping for air, while resting.

The two of them had already been drenched in sweat, due to working out for several hours continuously. So, they were both tired, but of course, the one that was most tired of the two was Scarlet.

Upon hearing the mention of Jaden, Scarlet suddenly thought of something. Then without even bothering to respond to Sylvia, she decided to leave.

Sylvia was left dumbfounded, as she did not understand what had happened to make Scarlet leave just like that.

"Hey! It's not like I have fallen in love with him! I just wanted to train with him. You don't have to be so insecure. He's all yours, I think!" Sylvia shouted at Scarlet who had already reached the exit of the gym.

Scarlet suddenly stopped upon hearing what Sylvia had said. She turned and glared at Sylvia, before she said, "You can have him if you want him. Stop claiming that I want him, when it is clear that you are the one that is interested in him."

Despite the nonchalance that was on her face, there was a trace of anger and uncertainty in her voice. Nevertheless, the moment that she said those words, she turned around and left.

Sylvia could not help but blink her eyes continuously. At the same time, she thought to herself, 'That's new! I never thought that she can react like that.'
