Unbeknownst of the trouble that was steering in the office, Inez returned home. Fortunately for her, her mother was not at home and neither was Ricky. Sighing in relief, Inez took off her jacket and then threw it on the rack. She had been wearing it for an entire day and night; now it was sticking to her skin, which made her feel icky.
She headed for the stairs and went straight to her room, where she took a bath and changed her clothes. Just as she stepped out of the bathing room, she saw Scarlet rushing right in.
The second Scarlet’s gaze fell on her; she released a heavy sigh of relief.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked. Marching towards her, Scarlet hugged Inez tightly. "Where in the world did you go last night? If you wanted to change the plan, then you could have just told me. Why did you go missing out of nowhere?"
Scarlet didn’t tell how worried she was when she didn’t see Inez last night.
Inez threw the towel with which she was drying her hair and sighed. "It’s a long story."
"Then shorten it up for me," Scarlet shrugged her shoulders and remarked. With her arms crossed, she said, "You know that I will not leave the matter alone if you don’t tell me the truth."
Simple and straightforward.
Though Inez liked her sister’s personality, sometimes she wondered if Scarlet even knew how to hesitate sometimes.
Finally, Inez released a heavy breath. She then relayed what happened yesterday to Scarlet and by the time she finished speaking, it was not a surprise that Scarlet had gone completely still.
For two minutes she simply stared at Inez, but then she rounded on her feet and headed towards the door.
"Hey, hey! You can’t," Realising what she wanted to do, Inez pulled her sister back. She pushed her inside the room, but Scarlet, being Scarlet, fought tooth and nail with her.
Red-faced and smoke almost billowing out from under her head, she said in a hoarse voice, "Step aside. I will rip that bastard a new one."
"No , you can’t." Now positively struggling to keep her sister inside the room, Inez panted and said to Scarlet, "You cannot just march inside the office of the alpha of the pack and rip him a new one."
Scarlet smiled in a falsely sweet manner before saying, "Oh, watch me. Since he loves to act like such a big asshole, then he needs his own rip. Because the current one does not match his personality."
Inez smiled at her sister’s loyalty but she wouldn’t want Scarlet to be locked up in prison and interrogated because of her. She said to her sister, "I am grateful but if you get yourself imprisoned, who will help me escape?"
