Emmett held his forehead with one hand as he sank into stormy contemplation.
Marina came up to him and said, “Hey, I need to go to the restroom.”
Emmett raised his eyes and snorted, “Sure.”
Marina raised her eyebrows, “We’re a couple. Shouldn’t you accompany me when I go to the restroom?”
Weren’t they putting on a show? Emmett was already unusual after seeing Elaine Jones.
“Huh?” Emmett was shocked, looking at Marina, and sighed, “Alright then.”
He was reluctant to follow her.
Emmett was tall, and when he stood up, he drew everyone’s attention in the room.
Marina walked over and held Emmett’s arm.
Emmett’s muscles were tensed up, and he had a dirty look. But he hid it away immediately.
Emmett stood outside the washroom and said, “You go in, I’ll wait here.”
Marina giggled, “Alright, you wait me then.”
In other people’s eyes, the two of them were seemed to love each other.
Emmett lit a cigarette and smoked it silently.
Emmett had butterflies in his stomach.
Because… he missed her… He missed that little girl very much.
That passionate kiss of tonight was unable to suppress his desire but even increased his passion for it.
That little girl’s lips… were good.
And, of course, her body was even better.
Huff, huff, huff… Emmett was leaning against the wall, thinking about Elaine. His breathing was deep and rapid, surprisingly.
In the meantime, a man walked in.
…
Emmett didn’t even notice this person as he only had Elaine Jones in his mind.
The man walked in and slunk into the female washroom.
As he entered, there was a sharp dagger holding in his hand.
He walked gently and slowly while trying to listen and identify the compartment.
Marina tidied up her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.
Whoosh!
A blast of cold air hit her!
Marina was well-trained. She reacted and dodged backward swiftly. In the meantime, she viciously kicked, hitting the man’s wrist.
Dang! The dagger fell to the ground.
Obviously, the man was an assassin. He didn’t pick up the dagger but attacked Marina straightaway.
Firstly, the man tried to grab Marina by the throat.
Marina squinted as she cocked her head to the side and grab the man’s wrist. She could only outsmart him as her strength was not as strong as a man.
Marina grabbed the man’s wrist. With a low growl, she pressed down hard on the man’s acupoint of the wrist.
“Ah…” the man stifled a cry of pain. Marina’s hand had already reached the man’s chest, and she poked down hard.
“Crack!” Two ribs of the man were fractured.
The man was racked in pain and stepped back.
Marina leaped up, raising her knee, and kicked the man by the chin.
A fatal blow!
The man fell on the ground hard, dead.
“How dare you sneak up on me? You were still wetting your bed when I was training to kill!”
Marina was gasping slightly as she clapped her hands and flipped her hair.
She grunted at the man and washed her hands. She then walked away with pride.
Marina got mad as she went out.
She wanted to roar but could only grin and say, “Good one, Emmett Smith! You’re guarding outside and not even coming in to rescue me? The man that just entered was trying to kill me! Didn’t you hear the noise when we were fighting?”
…
“Huh?” Emmett furrowed his brows, looking at Marina.
“Trying to kill you?” Emmett was shocked and strode into the washroom.
He squatted down to check on the dead man, and his face darkened.
“Seems like Juliana couldn’t stand it anymore.”
Obviously, this was an assassin sent by Juliana.
Marina was heartbroken. “Emmett Smith, what were you thinking outside just now? With you martial art skills, you could have noticed it. Were you distracted?”
Emmett was speechless for a moment.
Yes, he was indeed in a world of his own just now.
He was just thinking about Elaine Jones.
“Aren’t you fine now?”
Emmett stood up and washed his hands, deadpan.
Marina leaped to her feet, “Yeah, I’m fine! That’s because I’m Marina Clooney! If it was for someone else, he would have been killed! Anyway, I’m acting this for you; can’t you care about your partner? If it was for that girl that you like, I guess she would have been…”
“That’s enough!” Emmett yelled at Marina.
Who did this woman think she was?
How dare she take Elaine as an analogy.
Emmett said in a cold voice, “Your existence is meant to have danger. Otherwise, what would I need you for?”
Marina was struck dumb.
Her heart was breaking.
In fact, she knew it since she was drawn into this mess. She was meant to take cover for Elaine and protect her too.
Just that…
