Merlin was like being chased by the devil. He ran wildly with Scarlett in his arms. The wind whistled in his ears. His footsteps never stopped for a moment, as if there was an endless abyss behind him and he would be doomed if he stopped.
To be honest, this kind of embarrassing escape is far from the courage and responsibility that a real man should have in people's minds. But Merlin didn't care about these at the moment. He only wanted to escape from the situation that made him panic.
After all, the complex and subtle emotional realm of love is like a mysterious forest that Merlin has never set foot in. He is unprepared and confused, and he has no idea how to face Yuna and Stacy.
The damn thing is, both women have a special place in his heart and he has a deep affection for both of them.
Judging from their looks alone, they are all extremely beautiful women who are the most stunningly beautiful among all women. Their extraordinary beauty and temperament are something that Merlin could never achieve in his entire life and could only admire from afar.
A beautiful woman? As a normal man, who wouldn’t like her?
However, what attracted Merlin the most was not just their appearance, but more importantly their outstanding career abilities. Stacey always accomplished the tasks he assigned her brilliantly with her outstanding personal talents, and Yuna was the famous and powerful president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. She was very skilled in the business world, and even Merlin could not match her in some of the business strategies and methods she used, and he often secretly learned from her.
"Boss, have you run into some evil spirit? I feel like I'm going to vomit from running so fast!" Scarlett was pale and gasping for breath, her voice full of discomfort.
"Sorry, sorry! Hey, Scarlett, you are still the best. Your mind is full of work, and your mind is not distracted. You won't be bothered by these messy emotional things." Merlin finally stopped and put Scarlett down carefully as if he was holding a child, with a wry smile and a little envy on his face.
Scarlett looked up at Merlin, her eyes full of speechlessness and resentment. What does it mean to "think about work all the time"? She secretly complained in her heart, do you think I am willing to work so hard day and night like this? If one is not overwhelmed by the mountain of debts and loans, who would be willing to give up a comfortable and pleasant life and make oneself so exhausted?
The culprit of all this, in the final analysis, is this bastard in front of me! But even though she was full of resentment in her heart, Scarlett still pretended to be cheerful on the surface.
Ever since she met Merlin, her peaceful sleep time has completely disappeared. Although she can work while sleeping, she can earn more when she is awake. In order to win the generous reward, she tries her best!
If this continues, when will it end?
Scarlett held her head tightly with both hands, her brows furrowed. When she thought about her loans and debts, a look of unbearable pain appeared on her face, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Her eyes were fixed on Merlin, but the images of Stacy and Yuna appeared involuntarily in her mind. The affection that could not be concealed in the eyes of these two women when they looked at Merlin could be easily detected by anyone with normal perception.
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Scarlett's mind like lightning.
If I could become Merlin's spouse and have the status of his wife, would that mean I could say goodbye to this endless life of working to pay off debts?
Once this idea took root, it spread wildly in her mind like weeds. She seemed to have seen the beautiful picture of life in the future slowly unfolding before her eyes: she could enjoy delicious food and wine every day; when she felt sleepy, she could sleep comfortably in the soft and luxurious big bed and wake up naturally; in her spare time, she could play and entertain herself to her heart's content, and all worries and sorrows would have nothing to do with her.
After all, Merlin is a man who has money and good looks. She doesn't care about his strength. She is very strong anyway.
Scarlett knew very well that as the granddaughter of a demigod, her future partner must have extraordinary bloodline to ensure the excellence and excellence of her offspring, and Merlin just met this condition. From this perspective, marrying Merlin really seems to be an ideal shortcut to life.
Scarlett was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, as if she had already lived the life of lying down that she had always dreamed of.
However, a moment later, the difficulties of reality woke her up from her sweet dream like cold water. She realized that Stacy and Yuna were two huge mountains standing between her and Merlin. If she really wanted to marry Merlin, she would definitely not be able to get around these two people.
Scarlett suddenly felt overwhelmed and troubled at the thought of competing with these two outstanding women!
Stacy is his good sister in the Arcane Academy. She is regarded as a pure goddess by everyone. Her half-elf appearance is sweet and lovely, and everyone loves her. She has extremely high popularity and many supporters in the academy.
As for Yuna, as the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, she also has the noble status of a princess. Her every move is elegant and noble. Moreover, she is savvy and decisive in the business field. If she really becomes an "enemy", Scarlett has no doubt that her future life will be full of troubles, and she may not even be able to sleep well.
What's more...Scarlett subconsciously looked down at herself. Her childlike, underdeveloped figure made a trace of loneliness flash in her eyes.
She slowly placed her hands on her flat chest, feeling the emptiness, and the loss in her heart became stronger. My height was only up to Merlin's chest. Standing next to Merlin, I looked like a little child. Compared with Stacy and Yuna's proud figures, I had no advantage at all.
But soon, Scarlett cheered herself up again. She clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes revealed a firm belief: she will grow up! Now I just haven't developed well!
There may be nothing wrong with thinking this way. If you work intensively every day to pay off your debts, it will indeed be detrimental to your development.
However, she decided to forget about marrying Merlin, as she didn't want to be "hunted down" by Stacy and Yuna.
But...Scarlett looked at Merlin. This guy was indeed perfect on the outside, but she knew very well how greedy Merlin was on the inside. He was simply a devil.
"Scarlett, Scarlett?"
Scarlett came to her senses and found Merlin standing in front of her, shaking his hand.
"Ah, Boss, what's wrong?"
"I've been calling you for a long time, what are you thinking about?"
Scarlett's face turned red as she thought about what happened just now. She quickly lowered her head and said, "No...nothing, I was thinking about my part-time job."
