Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 1093

Chapter 1093 Do Not Cross The Line

After finishing her speech, she picked up the red brocade that covered her leg and waved it in front of

him.

"Look, I've embroidered my wedding dress with my own hands, eagerly waiting in my boudoir for the

one I love to come and marry me. You are intelligent, open-minded, young, and full of promise. A bright

future awaits you. I am just a small part of the vast sea of life. Please, do not risk your precious life for

me."

Raiden glanced at the red silk satin in her hand, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Don't worry. I won't interfere with your relationship with Artemis. I am a perfectionist. I would rather be

alone than settle for less."

At this point, he seemed to sense that something was wrong and added, "Of course, if I ever meet a

woman with whom I believe I don't have to compromise, I would consider settling down."

Bailey couldn't help but laugh.

Finding a woman with whom he doesn't have to compromise... That won't be an easy task.

However, with Cameron in her life, she still held hope for the future.

Before, Cameron was always clinging to her, insisting that he would marry no one but her.

Now, all he sees and feels is Blaze, completely erasing her from his world.

Zaewora.

A certain private manor.

Inside the main house's study, Artemis leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, taking a phone call.

It was a call from Simon.

"Artemis, what is really going on between you and Rebecca? Bailey has been investigating these past

few days. She even asked me about it the day before yesterday. If you truly have an unresolved past

with that woman, it would be best to come clean with Bailey as soon as possible. Women are quite

sensitive about these matters. Don't wait until she finds out. It will be too late by then."

Artemis furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What did you tell her when she asked you?"

"I didn't say anything. I really didn't say anything. I swear I didn't say a word."

Artemis asked again, "What has she been doing these past two days?"

"Hmm... I heard she's been shut in at home, embroidering her wedding gown and refusing visitors.

Most likely, she's still upset because of what that jerk Sylvester did. He has been pestering her for the

past couple of days, demanding to know Rainie's whereabouts. Bailey's fed up, so she's claiming to be

in seclusion and refusing to see anyone."

Seclusion?

A glint flashed in Artemis' eyes.

It's impossible for that woman to stay at home quietly for more than three days.

She says she's in seclusion, but there must be more to the story.

"Have Catherine visit the Shurmer family tomorrow to check on her and see how things are going."

Simon let out a sigh. "Do you have anything else to talk about? If not, I'm going to hang up."

Artemis pondered for a moment, then said, "Start preparing the items needed for the wedding now."

"Don't worry about this. Mom has already instructed me. I started preparing a few days ago, so you can

proceed with the ceremony as soon as you return."

After giving a few more instructions, Artemis finally ended the call.

No sooner had he put down his phone than the door to his study was pushed open. Rebecca, swaying

her hips, walked in from outside.

"You've been in Zaewora for a week now. Haven't you come up with a plan yet?"

Her words were teasing yet devoid of any hint of condescension.

Artemis leaned back in his chair, his sharp eyebrows slightly furrowed, coldly staring at the computer

screen in front of him, his expression inscrutable.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Rebecca continued, "It's even better that you haven't yet. Now you

can spend more time in Zaewora. Ever since you stepped down, I've been longing for some alone time

with you to nurture our bond. Perhaps after spending a month or so with me, you'll gradually fall for me,

captivated by my charm, and find yourself hopelessly in love with me."

Artemis said coolly, "I haven't paid much attention to you in the past few years. Do you really think a

few short days could make me fall for you? Rebecca, I have no intention of being involved with you. I

hope you can respect and love yourself and avoid creating a situation that cannot be undone. Also, do

you truly love me? Is your admiration for me not just dependence? Not just reverence?"

Rebecca sauntered over to the table, her hands resting on the surface as she leaned in, a captivating Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

smile playing on her lips. "Dependence, admiration, and adoration are all forms of love," she said.

"If I didn't care for you, why would I rely on you and admire you? There are plenty of outstanding men

around me, yet it's you who I can't get out of my mind. Chief Luther, there was a time when we posed

as a couple to successfully infiltrate a criminal organization, creating a diversion. During that period, we

were inseparable, practically sharing everything but a bed. Everyone said we had perfect chemistry,

and I felt the same way. Why don't you pay more attention to me? Perhaps over time, you might find a

connection. I've always believed that we are the perfect match."

Artemis subtly stepped back, maintaining a certain distance from her.

A few years ago, in order to carry out a mission against an international crime syndicate, he indeed

posed as a couple with Rebecca.

During those days, they shared many intimate moments except for sharing a bed, leaving behind a trail

of memories.

If Bailey is determined to investigate, she will surely find some clues.

If she were to confront me with those photos, I would probably have no choice but to reveal my past

identity to her.

When the time comes, I'm afraid a disaster will be inevitable.

"Since we were just acting, it's impossible for us to blur the lines between fiction and reality. Rebecca,

I'll say it one last time. Keep your distance, and don't cross the line."

After hearing his candid words, Rebecca showed no sign of embarrassment. She smiled and said,

"Well, it depends on whether Bailey can keep her man. I am determined to win you over. If Bailey is

angry with you because of our harmonious past, it proves she doesn't deserve you. When the time

comes for you two to break up, I'll be the first one to celebrate with fireworks. Then, I'll step up my

efforts to pursue you until you finally give in."

Artemis' gaze gradually darkened, his handsome face tense as if he was suppressing his emotions.

At that moment, the door swung open, and Ken walked in from outside.

"Mr. Luther, we've located Faceless. She's meeting with Black Puma tonight."

Seizing the opportunity, Artemis stood up and began pacing around the office desk, effectively creating

distance between himself and Rebecca.

"Have you found out where they are meeting?"

Ken nodded and replied, "It's at a winery in Xemrich."

"Pull up a map of the area around the winery for me to see, and then look up the layout and defenses

of the winery itself."

"Okay."

After Ken left, Rebecca spoke up. "I'll go with you."

Perhaps afraid that he would refuse, she added, "I've had numerous encounters with the Black Puma,

and I understand him quite well. If you don't want to witness a high number of casualties, cooperate

with me. Only by doing so can we minimize the losses."

Artemis fell silent for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, on the private jet.

When the plane entered Zaewora, it was already noon the next day.

As Bailey sat in the cabin, embroidering her wedding gown, she turned to her bodyguard standing

quietly beside her and said, "Be as cautious as possible when we land. We can't afford to reveal our

location."

"Noted."

At that moment, Raiden walked over and said to Bailey, "I just received a message. Interpol will take

action tonight. As for the mission, I can't find out."
