"You are always being watched, Scarlet."

"That doesn't mean the little spies can go back to speak of what they saw. This is all my family land and men are walking around to protect it. Anyone caught sneaking around will be questioned and placed in a good place if they seem dangerous," said Scarlet.

"Leave it to you to be this way," Ian said, no longer worried.

"I can't take credit for it. My father was this way and my grandfather. The estate has always been well protected. I know that Jack has been watching me. He must be fuming because he's missing a few spies," Scarlet laughed. 

How could someone be so foolish to be watching her and keep passing by the front gates? There wasn't much to see around here other than the estate so it was obvious what they were doing.
