"He got stuck in traffic so he missed his flight," Amanda informed Scarlett after the two of them had landed and got their things before waiting for their ride.

"Great," Scarlett muttered, taking her phone out of her pocket. She pressed on the side button and watched as it lit up then shoved it into her pocket.

"They got the next flight, but it doesn't land for another half an hour or so. I told him to just meet us at your house...I won't go inside, but I'm sure that'll be okay."

"Sounds good," Scarlett nodded, watching some people hurry by.

"Should we get some lunch," Amanda asked and Scarlett quickly nodded. She was hungry, but she was also scared that her food would come back up due to her nerves. Still, she wanted to go eat before she went home then had to go to a meeting.

"I want a milkshake," Scarlett admitted, looking over to the older, taller girl.

"I can arrange that."

"How's your milkshake," Amanda asked, sitting across from Scarlett at the small diner they went to for food. It was an American style diner with a retro theme, the owners were of course, American.

"Perfect. Thank you," Scarlett smiled, happily drinking her thick drink through a straw. "How's your burger? You not ready to have some Chinese cuisines other then takeout?"

"It's pretty good...I'm a little scared, but I definitely can't wait to have some. My mom made some real Chinese food, but it wasn't much since we're pretty Americanized," she confessed with a timid smile.

"That's okay. I hadn't eaten any authentic Chinese food when I lived in America."

"Six years without authentic Chinese food? That must've been tough."

"Yeah, but that was the least of my problems," Scarlett thought back. "Anyways, any word?"

Amanda took her phone out and pressed the home button before shaking her head.

"Mr. Qui has already notified everyone that the meeting has been pushed back a little. We should head to your house, but before we go I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay," Scarlett chuckled as the older girl got up with her purse and quickly left. Scarlett sat back in her chair, crossing her arms and her legs. Her eyes scanned the small restaurant and she looked over all the customers. Most of them were talking and laughing except one booth across from her.

A boy a little older than her, maybe Zhangjing's age, sat beside a girl with long brown hair. Her eyes were casted down at the floor and she looked very uncomfortable. Scarlett looked the girl over and her jaw clenched. She saw the scars on her body and saw some bruises on her skin. Her eyes moved onto the man, his hand was wrapped around the girl's sitting on her lap, his knuckles were purples and pinks. She didn't like the look on his face as he talked to the male across from them.

Scarlett saw Amanda come out of the bathroom and motioned her to leave the diner. Amanda raised an eyebrow, but nodded her head and quickly ran off. Scarlett watched from her spot as she started the car and once she got it running, Scarlett got up from her chair. She made sure Amanda had everything they brought before throwing her hair over her shoulder and pivoting. Her heels clicked as she made her way to the table across from her.

The people at the booth's eyes found her as she neared and the males eyes went over her body. She grabbed the edge of the table and smirked, "Hello."

"Hey there," the lonely one across the couple smirked. "What's a pretty thing like you doing around here?"

"Looking for some fun," Scarlett's eyes moved over the two males before looking the girl. Her eyes seemed scared and confused at the same time, but she noted how the girl looked like she wanted to run away. She saw how the man had let go of the girl's hand, it now rested on the table. She looked between the males and smiled. "You two look like you know how to have fun."

"Yeah, we know how to have fun," Knuckles said, shifting in his spot, his eyes moved to the girl beside him. "Xudan, could you go order some more fries for me?"

"O-Okay," the girl stuttered and quickly got up before walking away. Scarlett watched as the girl left before seeing both men looking at her body.

"Is that your girlfriend," Scarlett asked looking at Knuckles.

"Yeah, but she doesn't mind another," he replied as Scarlett's hand slid on the table. He thought she would grab his hand, but the two men were surprised when she stabbed a steak knife into the middle of the table.

An inferno lit inside Scarlett's eyes, but it wasn't one that had been awoken in a long time. It was a Scarlett from her past, the one where she was bad and only for Hunter. Right after his accident and before the pain he caused her.

This Scarlett, was the one she wanted to hide the most, the one she wanted to hide the most from Justin.

"Listen closely, you assholes. If you don't, I will personally hunt you down and make sure you have wet dreams and not ones of pleasure."
