“Yeah, we’ve been working with him for three or four years now, and none of us have ever seen him. All I know is that he’s young.”
“In my opinion, that analyst has feelings for Scarlett. Every time there’s intel, she’s always the first one he informs.”
I lowered my head, hiding my expression. They weren’t wrong. I had joined this mess because of Scarlett.
She’d been determined to become an agent, and I couldn’t bear to stand in the way of her dream. So I had accepted the Secret Service’s invitation, with one condition: whenever there was intel, I’d be the first to relay it to her squad. And that was how I first learned of her betrayal. A bitter smile tugged at the corner of my lips. Scarlett, noticing my change in demeanor, turned to the team with a sharp glare.
“What’s with all this nonsense?” she snapped.
The team members scrambled to their feet like schoolchildren caught misbehaving.
“Scarlett, we didn’t mean anything by it! Please don’t take it to heart, brother-in-law.”
“Yeah, everyone here knows Scarlett only loves you. Every time she’s on a mission, she always takes your picture with her.”
