Vague Answer

Scratching his head, Rex walked towards Scarlett's room, waiting outside with a mix of concern and intrigue. He knew she was hiding something from him.

Scarlett didn't linger in her room for long. She swiftly changed into tight black jeans and grabbed a black turtleneck and wore her coat from earlier. Her flat shoes were replaced with combat boots, reminiscent of her past missions in the field — she needed hard shoes to torment Theodor!

In just five minutes, Scarlett finished her quick transformation. She hurriedly exited her private room after ensuring her disguise was perfect.

However, upon stepping outside, she was taken aback to find Rex standing in front of her room and staring at her with a curious gaze.

An uneasy feeling enveloped Scarlett as she sensed that Rex was waiting for an answer to his earlier question. She knew Rex's character well—he wouldn't rest until he uncovered the truth.
