Bab 279: Recognized

Hearing Seven say, 'Real Husband, ' Scarlett became tense and agitated at the same time.

But after a while, she feels a little calmer.

"I wish I had known this would happen," Scarlett shook her head slowly, "When I first saw him, I was just as surprised as you. Thankfully, my disguise was spot on. That dim-witted Carter had no idea it was me, even after chatting with me for a few minutes," she said, a sense of satisfaction creeping into her voice.

Her skill at changing her appearance and remaining unrecognized by those closest to her still hasn't diminished, even after a year without practicing it. Scarlett could not help but feel joy at her success.

"Scarlett, we should leave now," Seven's urgent tone cut through the hum of the crowded party. His eyes scanned the room, searching for someone he hoped wouldn't show up — Xander Riley.
