158 Don’t Involve Women

Emma’s voice, which sounded like a scolding, instantly made the flash of the feud between Calvin and Marcel disappear. Slowly, they glanced at the girl who was staring at the two of them intently with her hands on her hips, “Can I find out what you’re talking about? If I am in trouble, can I know what the problem is? So that I can quickly avoid it,”

Feeling that the situation was getting too messy, Emma decided to take control.

‘I won’t get caught up in other people’s games. I’ll make my own game.’ Emma said in her heart.

Emma did not accept that she had to be bothered and confused about how to avoid the two men. Now, she would turn things around, so that the men were trying to avoid her.

Marcel and Calvin glanced at each other briefly before looking back at Emma. They became confused about how to explain to the girl they were supposed to protect. Inside, they blame each other for being cowardly by bringing Emma in to win over each other’s egos.

“S-sorry, Emma. It’s actually nothing,” Calvin said.

“If it’s nothing, then what was the point of your conversation earlier?” Emma raised her eyebrows. She would leave the two men at a loss as to how to deal with her. Emma herself understood that the men didn’t want to tell her what had really happened to her.

“T-that.. actually..” Marcel stuttered. Apart from not wanting Emma involved, she also knew quite a bit about his life.





“I think you’re used to this sort of thing, Emma. Isn’t this a problem that pretty popular girls like you often face?” Ian immediately took a step in the middle by gently pushing the chests of the two men who were facing each other. With relaxed steps, the man with sad eyes led Emma and Rachel away from two stupid guys who were confused to death against a woman.

.....

Martin, Nicko, and Frank who had also been watching them, couldn’t help but sigh and chuckle to themselves, “You two idiots..” Martin mocked in a whisper while embracing Nicko as he left Calvin and Marcel.

“How dare they think of bringing women into this?” Nicko shook his head.

“I’ve told you a thousand times, woman will only bring us trouble,” Martin said while looking around where Troy had been taken by Poppy, and Ian who had to calm Emma’s anger. “No matter how strong a man is, the one who can defeat him is a woman. That’s what makes me afraid of that beautiful but deadly creature.” he continued.

Nicko nodded, “I agree with you on this one.” He was well aware of the nature of women. Do not forget that since childhood, Nicko had been living with his selfish sisters who had an extreme mood swings. “They can change themselves from an angel to a monster just in one second.”



“Those two idiot guys can’t control their egos. If it wasn’t for Ian, I don’t know what we should do to clear this up.” Mark mumbled.

On the other hand,

With her arms folded in front of her chest, Emma followed Ian who finally stopped a few steps from the two men who had just made a small fuss, “Emma.. Emma.. Emma..” he muttered by rubbing his palms in front of his chest.

“Hmm..?” Emma looked at him with a lazy face.

Ian smiled as he shook his head, “Listen. Actually, I’m not interested to defend those two idiots. But as a man with common sense, I feel bad for you because of my friend’s behaviour. You know, Emma.. with your beauty, it’s impossible for a man to not at least try to win your heart.” he said with a smart-looking face. “I see, Emma. That must be so exhausting to deal with. Looks like those idiots are going through their hot season. So.. just this time, please forgive them and let it pass. What do you think?”

Rachel had turned her back to face backwards because she thought Tobias Ian’s explanation for saving the situation sounded funny yet clever. it was funny because Emma and Rachel actually knew what the boys were hiding.

Emma saw Rachel’s back shaking slightly. She had to hold back her own laughter because she felt this was entertainingly funny. As she wished, she would not enter into the men’s game. On the contrary, they were the ones who should enter the game.

“Thanks for thinking about my feelings, Ian. But just so you know, I don’t care if they’re in heat like a dog or a cat. I’m upset because it looks like they’re going to get me into some trouble. And I never wanted to get into trouble if it wasn’t important.” Emma explained.

Ian nodded understandingly, “Sure, Emma. I’ll definitely tell them that. I promise you, there won’t be a fight between the two goats dragging your name around. You can trust me.” he winked.

Tobias Ian was a smart, sweet-lips man. Even though his face was not the type that all girls like, it was simple for him to make girls fall in love with him. That was because he had a brilliant brain and a honey mouth. In addition, his body also emitted a faint fragrance from the smell of men’s soap and shampoo. Emma didn’t even want to know how many girls had become his victims.

In the end, Ian’s ingenuity also made Emma smile. The brown-eyed girl nodded, “Fine. I’ll trust your word. Please keep your promise.” she emphasizes at the end of the sentences.

Emma was quite satisfied because, with this incident, her disguise would be even more difficult to be noticed. All the guys would think that she was a girl who really didn’t want to get into trouble. Even if Black’s gender as a woman was later revealed, they would not have guessed that it was Emma Hilland.

Ian smiled warmly, “I am a man who keeps my word.”

As soon as he was done with Emma, ??Ian turned around to find Marcel was not there anymore, “Where’s that asshole?” he asked his four guys who were chatting while leaning against the wall.

“He left,” Frank answered with a straight face. He didn’t even know what to do with all this mess.

“Oh..” Ian mumbled without stopping to look at Calvin intently. He hoped Calvin could understand the meaning of his gaze because he asked Calvin to be quiet this time. He had worked so hard to outwit Emma Hilland and her girl-friend. If Calvin slipped up again, he didn’t know what kind of excuse he had to use to trick her again.

At that moment, the door to the administration room opened from the inside. Then a girl with curly red hair came out from there.

“Oh.. Are you done, Kathy?” asked Poppy, who had been talking with Troy ever since.

Troy seemed relieved. Finally, he was free from the torment of chatting with women. He felt his whole back hurt from the tension of talking alone with the little girl named Poppy Castonia. Poppy’s soft voice also made his blood pressure rise even more. Seriously, Troy Roner didn’t like talking with this kind of girl.

Kathy swept her eyes around as her face turned dispirited, “Where’s PB?”

“He’s gone,” Martin replied with a slight chuckle.

“Ah..” Kathy mumbled. She cursed the administrative clerk who had taken too long working on her documents so she was in there too long.

“Are you done? If you are, we should go back to class.” Emma said.

Poppy nodded and turned to Troy who was beating his own sore back. But suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and smiled stiffly at Poppy who suddenly looked back at him, “Thank you so much for the information, Troy. It really helped me in the future. We have to go now. Have a nice day.” Poppy said.

“You’re welcome,” Troy replied by scratching the back of his non-itchy head.

Finally, the four girls left. Troy walked over to his four friends with limp steps, while Martin immediately laughed out loud at him.

“Son of a bitch!” Troy smacked Mark on the head furiously. Because of that silly guy, he had to do the thing he least wanted to do.

Having felt a little guilty towards Troy, Mark didn’t dodge the blow. Even so, he still laughed happily as if the beat didn’t hurt at all.

Luckily, all of Martin’s friends have gotten used to his crazy brain. When everyone was serious because Marcel had not given a positive response earlier, he instead laughed with joy because the image of Troy’s face when he was facing Poppy kept replaying in his mind.

“The girls are friends with him too,” Calvin said anxiously.

“How did they know each other? Did you hear Kathy ask about her grandmother? I didn’t even know Marcel had a grandmother.” Nicko said.

Frank shook his head, “I don’t know either. But I don’t think we need to worry too much about the safety of Emma and her friends. Marcel has had a lot of girl friends on campus and I’ve never heard of any problems with the girls around him. Maybe he’s just not that kind of guy,”

“I think so. But we still can’t let our guard down. What just happened proved to Marcel that we do think about the safety of the girls. If Marcel feels too cornered, he might use the girls to threaten us.” Ian replied. They must always remember how things work in the dark world. Even friends could become prey if the predator was starving.

“It seems Marcel has also deliberately kept his true identity hidden from everyone here, including Emma and the girls. It means that he doesn’t want them to get into trouble. But what Ian said is true. I can’t help but feel worried about our female friends. At the very least, we should keep a close eye on them.” Calvin said, getting a nod from the others.
