198 Love Triangle (1/2)

Just minutes earlier, Scarlet and the sisters were chatting, not knowing some strange noises would disturb them very soon.

”What? You two were already agents before joining the selection? How cool…” Scarlet replied with her eyes widened, not expecting the two innocent girls in front of her were this skilled.

She thought they were just like her, a pair of newbies but she guessed wrong.

”Yeah, we were part of narcotics, the department for drug crimes,” Daisy explained as she scratched her head. ”I'm not sure if it was that cool. We had to deal with a lot of nasty people. It was pretty scary. Lily had a pistol pressed against her head many times while we worked undercover in some drug organizations.”

”Whoa… Are you okay?” Scarlet immediately grabbed Lily by the hand, squeezing it hard. ”It must have been hard on you.”

”Don't worry, I'm fine now…” Lily assured with a bitter smile. ”If not for those incidents, the job would be quite nice. Everyone treated us great in the department. The pay was also decent. Only work in the field was too much for us. After the last accident, we decided to quit.”

”Oh? What happened?”

”If you thought getting threatened with a gun was bad, what happened last month was much worse. Lily almost got raped by a group of five drug dealers. If we didn't take over the building right after she called for help, she would most likely get assaulted. I will never put my sister's life in such danger again,” Daisy explained while clenching her fist and hugged her sister right after. ”I promise.”

Scarlet put down her drink and joined them in the group hug. ”You are safe now.”

”I'm already fine… It was a month ago,” Lily muttered softly but still accepted the hugs.

”So after you quit, you came here?” Scarlet questioned after they separated.

”Mhmm, our Captain suggested that we check it out, saying we have the chance with our skills. Coincidently, there was a selection in the next month so we signed up,” Daisy replied, fixing her pink hair. ”What about you?”

”Me…?” Scarlet hesitated. ”It was big bro who brought me here. He said I have the potential in being a spy… I'm still a newbie in everything else. Big sis Ash is trying to teach me now.”

”So you all knew each other beforehand? That's so nice. You get to practice with all your friends.”

”Friends… Yeah, we are good friends,” Scarlet muttered with a sigh, looking at the bathroom door with a longing gaze.

Even Scarlet with her low EQ knew what was going on inside that bathroom but there was nothing she could do. She was still just a little sister to him.

The sisters exchanged gazes and smiled as if they figured out the same thing.

”Lily, can you see what I see?”

”I think it's pretty obvious.”

Scarlet got confused at her talk. ”What?”

Lily smiled and whispered, ”So since when do you like Chameleon?”

Scarlet couldn't help but blush, not expecting such a question.

”Is it that obvious?” Scarlet asked as she rubbed her cheeks, trying to hide the evidence. ”I thought I'm a good actor… sigh…”

”I would say it's not hard to see. We already figured there is something strange between you two on the way here. With how you look at him, it would be strange if you didn't have feelings for him,” Lilly described. ”Miss Dongmei should be his girlfriend, right? Do you think you have a chance in stealing him over?”

The sisters turned into their gossiping mode, getting visually excited. Naturally, they talked as quietly as possible to avoid getting exposed.

Scarlet got sighed again. ”They are engaged” He proposed to big sis before the selection.”

It came out in one of the conversations they had where Dongmei admitted it herself.

”Huh?” The sisters acted confused. ”I don't see the ring on her finger.”
