Chapter 187 - 187: Scarlet\'s new bodyguard

But the busy studio was disturbed when two models came. Camille Male was being tailed by another supermodel. Both were looking gorgeous in the dresses they have.

Scarlet stiffened to see the two models. She was very new to the industry but in the office, she had heard rumours on how feisty the two models were.

Camille can choose whether she will accept the project or not. Even if the project was for another model, she will have her manager take it if she wanted the role.

Everyone greeted the two models some people in the studio were new to Scarlet\'s eyes but still they bowed to the two models including the photographer.

So, Scarlet walked elegantly towards them. She halted in front and flashed a fake smile. She also knew Camille because of Daniella and she hated her for trying to steal her friend\'s fiancé but she was at work therefore she decided to be professional.

"Hi Ms Male," she said sweetly with the same smile on his lips.

When she met her eyes, the woman was smirking at her mockingly.

"Your doctor did a good job with your body," Camille ran her eyes over Scarlet\'s body. She was not a hateful type of model but she heard that Daniella was her friend therefore she decided to drop a visit to the competitor\'s agency despite her manager\'s request to not to.

The fake smile on Scarlet\'s lips turned genuine, "I have Daniella to thank that," she said with proud, "she\'s the best woman I have ever known."

And hearing that name, all the memories Camille had in the Villa rushed in her mind like a river. Anger immediately took over her face, nose wrinkling with indescribable irritation she grabbed Scarlet\'s arm.

"Tell this to your overconfident evil friend. Evan will leave her one day and once it happened I will be standing next to him laughing at her."

Scarlet did not mind her grip. She had suffered more, right now her touch was like a bite of an ant.

Seeing Scarlet\'s reaction Camille\'s anger ignited. She pulled Scarlet angrily toward her and gripped her arms tightly that she can almost feel her bones.

"Please don\'t touch Ms Scarlet."

A man suddenly appeared behind Camille causing for Scarlet to looked at him with confusion.

"Who are you?" Camille barked. Glaring at him irritably.

"Mr Chu sent me here to be Ms Scarlet\'s bodyguard. Please leave her alone or I will need to use force."

Camille froze upon hearing it, why would Ken\'s men be protecting Daniella\'s minion.

Her jaw gnashed, she retracted her hand and turned around rudely. She will come back to get her revenge one day. Since she can\'t do it to Daniella she will just vent her anger to the woman\'s friend.

After Camille left, Scarlet turned to the man next to her dumbfounded.

His clean-cut hair was giving him a good boy look but his face flashed a serious and dangerous aura.

She gulped hard and took a step back. Suddenly the memories she had from when she was tortured for information in the Gentleman\'s bar played like a movie in her mind causing for her skin to crawl.

"It is alright Ms Scarlet. Mr Chu sent me here to protect you." Despite his serious face, Scarlet could hear the sincerity of his voice.

But she will never trust him or any of Ken Chu\'s men.

"I am fine, you can stop following me."

The man bowed at her, "I understand but Mr Chu is my boss and the only one who can order me to leave."

Scarlet rose a brow, "I don\'t need his protection," her voice raised in a high pitch tone, "do you even know what I have suffered from your group? Those dirty humungous asshole," as she said those words in a whisper her hands were clenched tightly into balls for fists.

The man nodded, his face was emotionless just like his dark eyes.

"I have heard about you," he said in an almost whisper, "I am from a different group. I don\'t handle torture and only focus on protection and right now, you are in my care."

Scarlet went silent. Unexpectedly baffled by her situation. How could someone who tortured her mercilessly suddenly decided to protect her?

She did not want to believe it, it was just too impossible.

"Why is he doing this?"

The man met her eyes and as their gazes locked the man flickered his eyelashes.

"I am not in the position to question my boss but I assumed it has something to do with Daniella Chen."

Scarlet furrowed her brows. Did Daniella and Ken have some agreement about her?

"What do you mean?" she asked, looking baffled nothing makes sense to her.

The man took a sigh, "Mr Chu sent out men to protect Ms Chen\'s friend. And I was assigned to protect you."

As the word sunk down to her mind, Scarlet\'s eyes widened.

"You mean every Daniella\'s friend?" she said in a disbelief tone.

The man nodded.

"How many are you guys?"

With the same flat face, the man answered, "not so many. Ms Chen doesn\'t have so many friends."

Scarlet couldn\'t agree more. Daniella\'s real friend can be counted with her finger and she understood why it\'s hard to find a real friend that will stay with you and won\'t betray you.

With no option left Scarlet decided to accept him. She has bodyguards assigned by the agency but they only protect her when she was outside to meet the fans or press and she doubted those guards will protect her against Camille, a famous supermodel.

The photographer approached them, Scarlet smiled at him. They have been treated her right and she heard it was because of Daniella. She seemed to have ordered her manager Ray Sotto that she should be treated right and with respect.

"Maybe you should rest Scarlet. We can continue tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work!"

Hearing that, Scarlet\'s eyes sparkled. She was indeed exhausted so she nodded and walked towards the table where she left her bag earlier.

She was about to pick it up when the man took it.

"Since you know my existence, I can start doing my real job."

Scarlet rose a brow in confusion.

"I know that you are my guard but you don\'t need to carry my bag."

The man shook his head.

"I was instructed to look after you and take care of you. It includes carrying your stuff. I am your bodyguard Ms Scarlet, you can trust me."

Her heart pounded by his tone, it\'s so husky, cold yet manly. She nodded absently as she tried to stop herself from smiling like a teenager.

\'You are a transgender Scarlet. Stop imagining, he will never be interested in a person like you .\'

She said to herself and since then the smile her lips were trying to show disappeared.
