NovelBook130 Gift With And Old Chain Scarlett's POV "What?!" It's Olivia Keen's voice, "We are in your dad's study! You know how sacred it is to us kids?! The 'forbidden roommmmm'!!!" I roll my eyes, whispering to Lucas: "I'm on my way!" You have to hand it to the mean girls - they are mean to everyone, sometimes even to each other. They are selfish and horrible and they harm and betray, but somehow, they still make up with each other after. Birds of a feather, I guess? "What forbidden room?! That's just stupid! Is YOUR dad's study open to everyone???" Ava snorts, closing the door. I don't hear the light switch's sound. So the room should be dark still. Lucas can hide, but not for long. I can't imagine if Ava burst into a scream in the next few seconds and called the police on us.
I can't let Lucas get punished for my plan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Pretty much, yeah," Olivia's indifferent voice comes through clear and loud," Who still plays the last century spy-like rules at home, huh? What is your dad? An FBI?! Hey, can I take my boyfriend in here and make out???!" Think about poor Lucas if Ava lets her.
"Are you freaking crazy?!" Ava hisses at Olivia angrily, "Dad gavethe mission of keeping an eye on that bitch, or I wouldn't even be allowed in here, understand?! I'm gonna kill you if you dare take anyone else in this room!" "Chill! Geez..." Olivia murmurs. I can see her rolling her eyes in my mind saying that, "We are not allowed in here, but you get to open the safe?? I thought your dad had a dead body in it." "I told you this is a one-tthing!" Ava clicks her tongue at Olivia, "Dad toldto change the password, and I'm allowing you to take a look at something I don't even get to see normally, okay??? Be grateful and shut up!" 1/3 130 Gift With And Old Chain +25 BONUS Wow, really? We get to see the password this easily??? I did not see that coming.
Apparently Lucas is thinking about the sthing. He clicks on his screen lightly twice — our code for halting the action. I stop, not far from the study, waiting nervously. But I want the password, too.
"Miss Scarlett," Seeing me, Alfred swims through the crowd with a silver plate level with his shoulder like a fish, and he bows tolightly, "Glad to see you up and around. Are you feeling better?" I didn't know I was sick. Ava's doing, apparently.
"Much better, thanks," I smile at him, and to prove it, I take a glass of champagne from the plate he is carrying. Observingcarefully, Alfred finally believesand swims away. I grab the glass to ease my nerve, staring at the study's door worriedly- "Holy shit!" Olivia's shout makesjump. I flinch, almost gasped at it. What could it possibly be in that damn safe for her to be so exaggerated?! There was only a pile of files a week ago when I opened it! "Gold bars??? Seriously??? Who does this?" Olivia giggles, and I listen carefully through my earbuds, "Just files? Boringggg!" "Fine! Then get out of here!" Ava snaps coldly, flipping through the files, " Have you thought about the possibility that your dad doesn't have gold bars because he can't afford any??" Jack Fuller is not the wealthiest in the city. Far from it. If not, then he wouldn't be hell-bent on marrying his real daughter to Sebastian. Even if it wouldn't paint the best picture when he has already married one of his daughters, even just an adopted one. I'm actually as surprised as Olivia about the gold bars- They weren't there when I opened it.
Was Jack Fuller just worried that I might steal from him? Or is he having the gold bars for a different reason - for example...paying for the new story? 2/3 130 Gift With And Old Chain +25 BONUS "You god the password?" I pull my hair up to cover my mouth as I whisper to Lucas.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnother two knocks. He doesn't wantto lure Ava out? What's he seeing in the safe that's so important that he is willing to risk it to stay in there?? "What's that?!" Olivia yelps in awe, and Ava's tone also sounds pleased-
"Bingo! I knew Dad hid something good in here!" Ava exclaims, "Obet it's | his anniversary gift to Mom! I mean, look at the size of the stone!”
"Not just the size!" Olivia sounds even more excited than Ava, her family is actually in the diamond business, "The four CS are all top-notch for this founes one! It's the most gorgeous necklace diamond I have ever seen! The chain is a bit old, though. Srust here, even." "Never mind that!" Ava cheers, her voice shaking in excitement, “Helpput it on! I'm going to knock them out with this baby tonight!" Late Note +25 BONUS Nyx Rai Late Note Hey guys
