Bab 72: A Trap

On the way, they chatted and time flew by. When the driver stopped the car, Scarlett was momentarily puzzled, only to realize that the sky had unknowingly darkened.

After paying the fare, she stood at the entrance of a garden-style restaurant and called Shirley.

After a few rings, the call was answered, "Scarlett, have you arrived?"

Scarlett replied, "I'm here, at the entrance. Where are you?"

Shirley responded, "I'm still stuck in traffic. Let me call Joon's parents and ask him to come out and meet you."

A few minutes after the call ended, a man in his twenties emerged from the entrance and called out, "Ms. Li."

Scarlett turned to the voice. The man approached with a smile, "Have you been waiting long?"

Scarlett smiled lightly, "No, I just arrived. And you are?"

The man introduced himself, " Zen Luo. Joon is my younger sister." He omitted the fact that Joon was actually his cousin.

Scarlett nodded, "Nice to meet you."

Zen chuckled, "Let's go inside."
