Chapter 524

Wilfred lowered his eyes and said, “I won’t hurt you.”
Nina stood up, distancing herself from him. “I don’t know if I should trust you, but you don’t seem entirely clean. I hope we don’t have too much contact.”
She did not dare get too close to him.
Protecting herself was the most important thing.
Wilfred offered a bitter smile and looked at the strawberries he had picked earlier. He picked them up and handed them to her. “These are the strawberries you like. I just picked them today. Take them.” Nina did not accept them and instead said, “Thank you, but no thanks.”
With that, she quickly walked out.
Her palms were sweating.
One moment she wondered if Wilfred was pretending, planning to kill her. Everything was uncertain.
Now she wondered if she should move.
Living next door to him might be dangerous.
She could not risk her life.
She hurried away as if he were a virus.
Wilfred remained alone in his apartment, the basket of strawberries still in his hand.
His expression was neutral as he looked at the fresh strawberries for a long time. They had lost their value, and he threw them all into the trash.
What Nina did not want, he did not want either.
Nina returned home, quickly locked the door, and leaned against it, still shaken.
Why did the female driver act like that?
She could not figure it out.
Was someone already trying to harm her?
Would she need to be more careful when going out from now on?
In a dimly lit room.
Slap!
A hand struck Scarlett’s face.
“You couldn’t even capture a single woman. What use are you?”
Scarlett’s face swelled immediately, a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. She clenched her fists, enduring the pain, and knelt on one knee. “The roads were crowded today. I couldn’t find a suitable spot. Give me a little more time, and I’ll capture her and give the boss an explanation.”
A man stood in front of Scarlett, appearing to be in his forties, dressed in a black suit. He was about 1.77 meters tall and looked like someone who practiced martial arts.
He had a scar on his left cheek and his eyes were cold as he looked at Scarlett. “Scarlett, you didn’t use to be like this. You always completed your missions smoothly.”
His words were filled with suspicion. Scarlett kept her head down, her face pale. “I guarantee I’ll complete the mission within a week.”
The man did not say more, but his doubts lingered. “What about Wilfred? What is he doing? Weren’t you together? Why didn’t he come to report?”
Scarlett decided to conceal the truth. “He’s been busy with surgeries lately. I planned to capture the woman and then take her to him, so I didn’t have time to inform him.” “He sure is busy,” the man remarked, then added, “The boss will be out soon. You won’t have it this easy then.”
“When is the boss coming out?” Scarlett asked.
“When the heat dies down.”
Scarlett continued, “Do we need to welcome him?”
“No need,” the man replied. “He’ll see you when he wants to.”
Scarlett kept her head down all the time and said, “Alright, before the boss comes out, we will definitely give him a satisfactory answer!”
“I believe you this time,” the man said, his eyes sharp. “There must be no more failures. If you can’t capture this woman next time, I won’t be able to protect you!” Scarlett’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. She replied firmly, “Understood!”
