Scarlett's Mistake

Chapter 13

Two days ago, a twenty-seven years old yakuza named Daiki Yamaguchi sent an invitation to Scarlett, saying that the Mafia queen and her four most trusted men are invited to the party tomorrow night. It's the yakuza's company's 10th anniversary.

The Japanese gangster also ordered a box of drugs and guns; two AK-74, three PKM machine guns, two double-barreled shotguns and a Uzi so she has to attend the event even though she don't want to because the yakuza told her that he won't pay if she won't attend.

She decided to take Kaiden with them because she cannot let the boy alone in the villa for the whole three days, yes, they will stay there for three days because Louie suggested that they should take a vacation because they have been too busy and drowned in their own works within the week and they deserve to relax.

The Mafia queen allowed them to take a vacation but she said she'll go back home after the party and after she give the products and get the money.

Of course the sniper didn't agree with that and forced his boss to take a vacation too. Scarlett just agreed because she knew it'll take a lifetime before the motormouthed guy decide to give up on convincing her.

As I said, she decided to take Kaiden with them because she cannot let him alone in the villa. She don't trust the boy. What ifs such as 'what if he will betray us?', 'what if he'll let an enemy go inside the house?', 'what if he'll do something stupid that can lead us to trouble?' were running through her mind so she just opted to take him with them.

"J-Japan? W-We'll go there?"

"Yes."

"R-Really?"

Scarlett pursed her lips tightly because of annoyance, she's already losing her patience for the introverted guy. 

What the fvck? Is he dumb or what? Why do he always need a fvcking reassurance?

The Mafia queen zipped the large suitcase rather angrily and turned to the shocked boy who's looking at her with widened innocent eyes.

She sighed and gritted her teeth. Trying to calm herself, she slowly made her way to the mini kitchen.

"Why do you look stunned? Is it your first time to go to another country?"

Kaiden bit his lower lip and nodded as Scarlett sat on the chair across him, cold eyes looking at the introvert boy with slight surprise.

How come that he never went to another country?

The mafia queen stared at him with her scrutinizing cold look, leaning against the backrest of the chair, arms stretched and resting upon the glass table.

She's wondering if the boy is lying or not. You know, she's thinking that every person she met already went to different countries, most of them loved to talk about their experiences in those places they visited, so how come that the boy never went to another country?

Scarlett's eyes widened infinitesimally when she remembered that the boy were renting an apartment, he was also working in that lifeless coffee shop. He's working hard to survive. He's not rich and cannot afford to go to another country.

He cannot afford it.

The mafia queen kept staring at the boy with her cold eyes and Kaiden, on the other hand, suddenly felt uncomfortable because of the stare.

He was about to bow his head again but something stopped him. Something he couldn't resist to look at. Those almond cold brown eyes. Those menacing orbs he's afraid of.

Kaiden don't know why he couldn't look away from those scrutinizing dangerous eyes.

Within the past week of being a cook of the mafias, there's no time that his head isn't hanging low. Everytime he talk to them, Kaiden's always stammering and eyes downcast.
