Chapter 75 - Dexter's Request

A bitter expression registered on Selena's face as soon as she realized that Kirby wasn't coming with them unlike what her uncle had promised. She was seated at the backseat next to her uncle who had the same expression as her while Anders was in the driver's seat.  

Her arms over her stomach, crossed with irritation moved and repeatedly slapped her Uncle's legs.  

"You said Kirby will come with us," she exclaimed while her eyes were throwing a piercing look at her Uncle, "Why is he not here?" she continued, her hands trembling with anger had stopped  hitting her uncle and rested at her sides.  

Her uncle looked at her with a flat face  "Kirby has to work " his reply sounded like a robot, it had no life at all.  

Selena scoffed at  her uncle's obvious lie, her eyes rolled by themselves  and in  a sarcastic voice she replied, "why did you even bring me with you?"  

Evan breathed out in impatience "we are going to visit my mother so shut up" he snarled.

Meanwhile at Claire's house.  

Dexter was sitting on the bed trying to ignore all the pain. After three nights of torture she had been freed and was now resting in a safe place.   

Daniella had her eyes focused on Dexter, none of her bruises has healed some of it had even turned into black. A sigh let out from her lips she didn't have to look at her to verify if she snitched on her ,  her body itself was enough evidence that her identity had not been revealed.  

"What do they want except my location Dexter " Daniella's soft voice sounded in the room.  

Dexter slightly pouted while pain shone in her eyes which were little red from all the punches she had received, "Daisy, couldn't you at least call me Scarlet?" a faint smile curved upon her lips "I have changed my identity," she continued.  

Daniella giggled softly by her sulky face "Fine, Scarlet what do they want?" the smile she had on her face faded while her irises went black.  

"They want Senator Villa and somehow  they got an information that a woman giving favors took him " Dexter paused, a painful smile flashed on her lips "I didn't tell them about you  Ms. Chen even though I know your name and your face, I wouldn't dare to snitch on you."  

"Good."  

"Do you have a family dex- Scarlet?" Daniella asked.  

"I have a brother and he's working under my boss Ken Chu's friend."  

Daniella rose an eyebrow upon hearing it  "whose friend?" she asked.  

Dexter didn't hesitate and replied calmly "Evan Su."  

Stunned with what she had just heard, Daniella's face went blank  for a moment.  

"And who's this brother of yours?"  

"Mark, he said last time that he had been tailing the recent girlfriend of Evan Su " Dexter explained "but he didn't give me more details than that."  

"Ahuh!" Daniella slightly nodded her head and her mind starting to  wonder who this woman could be.  

'does he have a girlfriend?' she asked herself.  

"Interesting," She murmured.  

"Are you alright?" Dexter said after noticing that Daniella had spaced out.  

Daniella blinked, irises turning into brown turned to look at Dexter.  

"Yes, anyway  you can stay here anytime you want and if you need a job I can get one for you" from sitting on the couch, Daniella got up and walked closer to Dexter "what kind of job do you wish to have?" she continued as she sat next to her.  

Dexter went silent for a moment, then she took in a deep sigh with close eyes. As she opened her brown eyes, she parted her lips to speak, "Actually I really want to be a model " she said shyly.  

Daniella giggled, she could see the hope sparkling in her injured eyes "ok, we will wait for your injuries to heal and I will get an agency to sign you."  

And just like a kid that got her to wish, Dexter started laughing while tears formed in her eyes "really?" she asked in disbelief.  

Daniella nodded, she smiled for one second and it soon disappeared when she held Dexter's hand " I will but this is not free dear," eyes shining with viciousness stared at Dexter.  

Dexter smiled in understanding. She knew the drill, one day, Daniella will come back for the payment.  

"No problem Ms. Flower."  

"Great," Daniella blew out a relieved sigh, patted a hand on Dexter's leg carefully, "who do you want to be your manager?"  

Dexter was taken aback by Daniella's question, she didn't have a manager in mind but she had heard some managers who were famous in the field  "I heard that Ray Sotto is the most popular manager but he's very meticulous and only takes women not transgender " sadness shone in Dexter's eyes as she said that.  

Daniella got up  "don't worry dear. He'll take you" after saying that confidently, she left the room and proceeded to the kitchen where Claire and Robert were enjoying their dinner.
