131 Great Help

Scarlett’s POV

Shit, she’s coming out!

I panic, looking around for a hiding place. I came to rescue Lucas, and I put on a party dress to mingle in. My plan was to make a scene and catch Ava’s attention — she would flip if she saw me at her party. Then Lucas would get an escape window.

But she wasn’t even there to guard anything. She was there to steal! And she not only notices Lucas, but is now coming out! Shit shit shit!

I have no time but to turn and hide behind the pillar closest to the study when its door opens, but now I’m a full living room away from the staircase, and there is no way I can make it back to my room.

I can’t let Ava see me outside of my room!

“What are we hiding from?”

A voice startles me jumping high, only to see Sebastian’s innocent face. He looks slightly stunned as if I was the one who was trying to give him a heart attack, instead of the other way around.

Why is he suddenly everywhere when I stopped wanting to see his annoying face?!

“There is no ‘we‘!” I hiss at him, glancing around nervously, “And can’t you take a hint when people do not pick up the phone?!”

“I did take a hint,” He smirks at me, not at all keeping his voice low, “I took it that you didn’t want an apology over the phone, so here I am.”

I roll my eyes.
