Chapter 50: A Perfect Woman

“You don’t have to go inside, Emma. I’ll walk you down.” Calvin said as taking a step forward. He could guess what Emma was thinking. That girl wasn’t the type to trust a boy easily. Emma was a very alert and critical girl. She must have thought that it would be dangerous to enter a secluded room filled with men she still didn’t know very well.

Nicko finally came to his senses, “Oh.. Right, Emma. You don’t need to be here.” He said with a friendly smile.

“Why? Just let her sit here with us instead of being bored alone waiting for class. It’s still very early.. Akh!” Martin held his head after getting hit by Nicko. “Why did you hit me, you son of a bitch?!” he growled.

Nicko glared, “She’s a girl! She must be scared if she’s alone here with us. What’s more, your face looks perverted.” he whispered annoyedly.

“Come on, Emma. How about we wait for class to start in the cafeteria? Have you had breakfast?” Calvin was about to close the door. Before that, he turned his face to Ian, “You guys go on ahead. I’ll join later ..”

Emma appreciated the understanding of the men. Moreover, what Nicko whispered to Martin just now, didn’t sound like a whisper at all. Maybe he raised his voice a little because Martin was too crazy to understand quickly. But it made Emma a little uneasy because she seemed very weak.

“Maybe, I’ll just wait here,” Emma said as walking in with her chin up. She didn’t like her pride being belittled like that.

.....

Calvin looked at the girl walking past him with blinking confused eyes. Well.. it’s good if Emma didn’t think badly of them. After all, they were also not lowly men who would do bad things to women.

Nicko pulled up a chair, “You can sit here, Emma. Would you like a drink?”

Emma shook her head as she sat on the wheeled chair, “No. Thanks.” She said friendly.

“Emma seems to be sitting comfortably. Then, let’s continue this discussion.” Troy said, rising to his feet. He didn’t care about the insignificant drama just now. In fact, he did not feel so comfortable if there were women in their midst.

Calvin sat beside Emma, “We’re discussing something. You don’t need to listen to us, because it has nothing to do with you. Tell me if you need anything.” He whispered to Emma. The girl nodded.

“The 37.1 AM broadcast never mentions RJC by name.” Said Calvin.

“Never mentioned doesn’t mean free from crime.” Nicko replied.

“How was your investigation, Nicko?” Troy asked.

“Nothing. The information I have is the same as Calvin’s. They hold a few blocks of streets full of shops. And they get paid for guarding the streets against other gangsters who are about to make trouble there.” The guy with sad eyes answered.

“What confuses me was, where did Marcel get that many people? They look like elite troops! I’m really impressed!” Martin added.

“About that, only Marcel knows. We have too little information to go straight to their base.” Replied Ian.



Emma suddenly cleared her throat, “Sorry to interrupt. Are you guys planning to raid a base like yesterday again?” she couldn’t bear to ask questions.

The five men nodded innocently.

“Yeah.. we have a few things to take care of. Don’t mind us, Emma. Don’t get into trouble.” Nicko replied, waving his hand in front of his nose.





Emma shrugged and stood up, “Okay. I’ll have a look around this room. You guys could continue. As you all said, this has nothing to do with me.”

“Oh.. Emma,” Called Ian.

“Hem?” Emma turned.

“Are.. are you friends with Donny and his group?” Ian asked somewhat hesitantly. Feeling concerned if his question maybe would make Emma feel that the man was pretentiously interfering in her personal life. But by continuing to meet Emma like this, Ian couldn’t help but ask, because he was worried about the girl’s safety.

Emma shook her head with a hard jaw, “Of course not. I don’t want to be friends with them.”

Emma’s answer made them all sigh in relief, “Good..”

Then Emma had something in mind, “Do you guys.. maybe know something about that bastard Donny? There’s a little thing that’s bothering me about him.”

Calvin looked at Emma questioningly, “That guy always annoys a lot of girls. But my advice, you don’t need to pay attention to him and just stay away from him. He will just get you into trouble if you get close to him.”

“Does that mean you know something about him?” Emma was still standing on her question.

“Donny and his friends often come into contact with many gangster groups. They are like fleas who work here and there, looking for the most profitable job for them. Therefore, girls who are close to them might be stuck in a difficult position. As you said, they’re assholes. But they’re actually worse than you think.” Ian explained.

Ian’s explanation made Emma gasp. If Donny turned out to be as bad as he said, then that meant Poppy was in big trouble. Poppy’s attitude the last time she met Emma, ??also strengthened that suspicion.

“Looks like our explanation is enough, Emma. I’m seriously warning you to stay away from them. It’s because you are my friend. I care about your safety.” Calvin said softly.

“Woo.. What is this strange atmosphere?” Martin teased with a big smile, “I feel butterflies flying in my stomach~”

Instantly, Emma’s cheeks got reddened. She looked away and cleared her throat awkwardly, “I know. Anyways, you guys could go back to the ambush discussion earlier.”

‘Damn! Why does Calvin always act so openly about his feelings? Even in front of the others, he was not shy at all. Why is my chest pounding like this? I don’t really care about him either. But he should be thinking whether or not I will feel ashamed for his behaviour.’ Emma scolded in her heart.

The old radio room was still held all the very complete old-style radio broadcasting equipment. Maybe, that’s why the working radio room was moved now. Seemed like the university management felt sorry for getting rid of the good stuff that still works really well.

There was a lot Emma could see in the old radio room. As she had read in the campus magazine, Jardin University had been stood for a long time. And it seemed that the previous alumni memories were left in this room.

“Kathy would love to be here. Has she been here before?” Emma muttered in a smile while checking some equipment.

Emma suddenly remembered that she had snacks in her bag. Then, she took out a sky blue lunchbox from there and opened the lid.

Martin, who had just yawned from boredom, glanced at Emma quickly, “Wow! What’s that, Emma? Is that food?” he asked with saliva pooling under his tongue.

“Ah.. yes. These few days, I’m learning to make sandwiches. Do you want to try? But I can’t guarantee that it tastes good..” Emma answered unsurely. While at her father’s house, Emma never cooked at all. Now when she was living alone, she had found a new hobby, namely cooking. It’s also good if there were people who could give their opinion about the taste of the food.

“Of course, I will! Can I have one?” Martin rubbed his palms on the jacket he was wearing.

Emma chuckled, “Wait a minute.” Then she pulled out the wipes from her bag. Clean your hands with this, and then get the sandwich.” Then, she used tissue paper as a placemat so the sandwich crumbs wouldn’t fall all over the place.

“Okay!” Martin answered obediently, then did everything Emma said.

Martin took a bite of the sandwich eagerly, then his eyes widened, “Wow! This is so delicious, Emma. You’re really good at cooking!” he praised.

Troy, Ian, Nicko, and Calvin stared at the back of the room with annoyed faces. Martin was chatting with Emma while eating snacks that looked very delicious. That guy didn’t even listen to their important discussion at all. If Frank hadn’t been absent today, they would have taken him instead of that stupid guy.

“Hahaha..” Martin was busy laughing. But suddenly he felt a dark aura behind his back which gave him goosebumps. Then he looked back and...

BUGH! BUGH!

Emma gave a pitiful laugh at Martin who was beaten by his friends. The guy was now huddled against the wall, chewing his sandwich.

“Would you guys like a sandwich too?” Emma held out her lunchbox. She actually prepared the sandwich for lunch and afternoon snacks. Today, Emma had intended to go to the park warehouse to make sure there was no more bullying. That’s why she had to charge herself to the brim, just in case she had to fight again.

“Sure!” The four men answered in unison.

“We have to clean our hands too, right?” Troy asked.

Emma nodded, “Don’t mess it up, okay?”

Of the five men, the one who seemed most accustomed to living clean and tidy was Nicko. It was because, at home, he had many female family members. While the other guys seemed to have a lot of hassle having to do various procedures just to eat a piece of sandwich.

“Emma, if Donny or some other guy is bothering you, you can just tell me. I’ll break their necks.” Said Martin with a hero’s face.

Emma chuckled, “Thanks, Martin.”

“You don’t have to take this lunatic too seriously, Emma. But it’s true. You can tell us if you’re bullied by thugs.” Nicko added.

“Hey, you guys. Don’t keep swarming her like that. It’s you guys who look like the perverts now.” Said Ian as stepping behind Nico, Martin, and Emma.

“But Emma’s cooking is delicious. I’d also beat up anyone who annoys her in exchange for a sandwich.” Troy innocently interrupted.

Come to think of it, Emma was the perfect woman figure. Pretty face, beautiful body, kind, gentle, fashionable, and good at cooking. Any man would feel lucky to have a couple like Emma Hilland.

But in fact, they didn’t know what was behind that elegant figure.
