Emma's POV I nodded my head again, a sign that I understood what Scarlett was saying. We finally went back to work, but Scarlett said goodbye for a moment to take out last night's trash that she forgot to throw out. I nodded my head and let Scarlett take out the trash. However, as I followed Scarlett's body which was getting further away, I thought I saw a man standing near Scarlett and chatting with the man, but his face was very familiar even though the man was wearing a mask and a thick jacket. I frowned, I thought the man was Scarlett's boyfriend because so far it seemed as if Scarlett had never had an intimate conversation with a man. In my heart, I smiled and immediately continued my work without thinking too much, especially as I felt that this man was Scarlett's business and I should not interfere in their affairs. Logan's POV I saw him come face-to-face with James Parker. There isn't the slightest feeling that makes me want to help him or let him be free from the arrogant human being who looks like James Parker, but that doesn't mean that if I let him, I will just keep quiet and walk away. No, even if I'm just silent, I still have to pay attention and eavesdrop on what they're talking about. Several times Emma tried to avoid James Parker, but the man still didn't want to give up and instead continued to taunt Emma with various kinds of taunts. "Can you move aside? I'm going to work and can't just look after you." I heard Emma start to fight back, it was true that the woman was going to work but James Parker kept bothering Her, making me want to help Emma get out of there. But it was difficult, just moving my legs felt heavy. James Parker continued to taunt Emma non-stop. I let it go and just watched from a distance. Even though I'm a little sorry, I don't want to get too involved in their affairs, I don't want my plan to fail and Emma knows if I follow it. After I saw that the woman was free from James Parker, she walked towards her workplace and I immediately followed behind. I knew Emma seemed to realize that she was being followed but I tried not to be seen in front of her. I also saw Scarlett there, I didn't want to communicate with her because I was afraid that Emma would notice and make my plans fail. I invited her into her workplace then I called Scarlett to come to see me without Emma knowing. "How is everything safe?" I asked Scarlett who was beside me, I occasionally looked at Emma who was still busy with work, she looked tired and lethargic but somehow I didn't really care about her because all I cared about now was my children. "No one hurt her, I've taken care of everything so you don't need to worry, Logan. Since when have you been following her?" Scarlett turned her head, she looked at Emma from behind the frosted glass. "Yes, I followed her because I wanted to know what she did after she left for work. I also wanted to confirm something, while on the road I saw her being harassed by James Parker." I told Scarlett all the incidents that happened to Emma, ​​from James Parker who often bothered her. "You didn't help her?" I shook my head. "You're mean!" Scarlett looked at me with an annoyed look, I didn't understand why she could say something like that. I looked at her with a look that was hard to describe, feeling that I wasn't wrong for letting James Parker bother Emma and that I didn't help her. "Then what should I do? I don't know what I should do if James Parker bothers Emma, ​​I do have the intention of helping that woman but it feels very strange for me to help someone." "You have to learn how to help people like him, Logan. What if Emma gets bullied by James Parker again? What if something unexpected happens?" I rolled my eyes lazily, I wasn't worried about Emma at all when she was being bullied by James Parker. "Like should I learn how to help someone? It's not that I don't want to help her but I just don't want to get too involved, that's all." "But still!" "Still what? I'm always wrong, I'm not evil but more like I don't care because it's none of my business, I don't want to get involved that's all, am I wrong?" Scarlett took a deep breath, arguing with me will probably never end, more precisely we shouldn't argue. "So what?" she asked. "I want to monitor her from here, is that okay?" "Up to you." Scarlett then left me alone, she was annoyed with me for not helping Emma when she was being bullied by James Parker. But I didn't feel guilty, because I didn't want to get involved in Emma's problems. I've been waiting for hours for Emma to come home but the woman hasn't come back and I'm starting to get bored. I also called Scarlett several times and asked when they would close but Scarlett completely ignored me. I'm forced to wait boredly, I'm doing all this to find out everything, and I won't just give up even if I have to wait any longer. “When will she come back? I've been waiting here for almost twelve hours.” I tried to get Scarlett to speak up, I couldn't wait any longer because I was bored.
