Chapter 97 He really is a bumpkin

After Scarlet finished speaking, she gave Lachlan a cold glance before walking towards the warehouse. Lachlan didn't say anything and followed her.

It wasn't until Scarlet had loaded the goods onto the car and was about to get in that Lachlan grabbed her arm. "Wait, come with me to see Mr. Elliott for a bit. We can leave together afterwards.” Hearing this, Scarlet's face showed annoyance and impatience as she shook off his hand. "Lachlan, are you crazy? You've been following me without saying anything and now you want me to go with you? What, do you want to pursue me too?"

She couldn't help but wonder what this jerk was up to. He used to ignore her completely but now he was trying to stick around?

Was he playing hard-to-get?

Or was he just being persistent because she was not paying attention?

"Don't be ridiculous! Your father asked me to protect you because someone might try something against you," Lachlan explained while furrowing his brows.

"Ha! With so many guys pursuing me, your reason is really lame," Scarlet sneered at him in disdain. "You're just trying too hard! You're such a basic guy!" Scarlet rolled her eyes at him.

"Pursue me? You're my brother-in-law's woman; why would I pursue you?" Lachlan retorted defensively. "Your father asked me specifically to protect you; if you don't believe it then call him yourself."

Lachlan was a bit speechless at Scarlet's misunderstanding and couldn't help but feel annoyed. "This girl seems a bit narcissistic, huh?"

"Get lost! Who said I'm Mason's woman? Listen carefully, we don't have any relationship yet. Who needs your protection? Get out of my way!" Scarlet was furious when she heard Lachlan say that she was Mason's woman.

As she spoke, she tried to open the car door and leave. However, Lachlan grabbed her wrist and forcefully closed the door.
