Then she clapped her hands, and immediately three girls wearing equally revealing kimonos walked in from outside, seemingly having been waiting there all along.
Seeing only three people enter, Aerith immediately sat up and said, "But there are four of us!"
"Yes, so I'm included too. For wealthy and handsome customers, I personally provide the service." Mam closed her fan, tucked it behind her waist, and walked over to Aiden's side.
"Well then, handsome sir, let's begin. Please lie down quickly." Mam said, clapping her hands again. Then, the curtains in the room swished open automatically, and the lights dimmed.
Seeing this, Aiden froze for a moment, looking puzzled at Scarlet lying next to him. However, due to the curtains separating them, he could only see the outline of Scarlet's body.
Seeming to notice Aiden's gaze, Scarlet asked, "What's wrong?"
"It just feels a bit unfamiliar," Aiden frowned, thinking this scene felt strange yet oddly familiar.
"What's so unfamiliar about it? It's just a massage," Scarlet said.
Just then, Aerith suddenly exclaimed, "Sorry, I don't want to do this anymore. This atmosphere is really weird."
Then she jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
"Aerith…" Seeing Aerith run out, Tifa also grew restless. She glanced at Scarlet, who was enjoying the massage, then at Aiden sitting there, and said, "Aiden, I'll go check on Aerith."
With that, she too ran out of the room.
Outside the room, Aerith was patting her chest and taking deep breaths, but when she saw Tifa come out, she frowned and said, "Why did you come out too?"
"Same as you, I'm not used to that atmosphere either," Tifa shook her head. That atmosphere made her body feel uncomfortably warm. If it were just her and Aiden, it might have been fine, but with several others inside, she couldn't bear it.
"But leaving Aiden alone with Scarlet in there…" Aerith looked back into the room, but because the lights had dimmed, she couldn't see anything.
"It should… be fine, right? After all, the proprietress is still inside," Tifa thought for a moment and said, "No matter how shameless that woman is, she wouldn't act recklessly in front of outsiders."
"That's true." Aerith found this reasoning sound and nodded. Then she noticed some chairs placed outside the room and went over to sit down.
"Tifa, let's just wait here," Aerith waved to Tifa and said.
———
"What a shame," Mam sighed regretfully as she watched the two women leave. Then she turned to Scarlet and said, "Even so, you still have to pay in full."
"Don't worry, you won't lose a single gil," Scarlet naturally understood what Mam meant. Then she said to Aiden, "Lie down already. Do you really want to waste my money again?"
Hearing this, Aiden gave Scarlet a deep look but ultimately lay back down.
"Well then, let's begin." Mam smiled, her eyes curving with amusement, as she started gently massaging Aiden's body.
However, her movements were proper, avoiding any inappropriate touches.
This put Aiden at ease, and he slowly closed his eyes. But after a while, Aiden suddenly noticed that the hands massaging him felt different in pressure, and he caught a familiar scent of perfume.
Puzzled, he opened his eyes and turned his head, only to see that it wasn't Mam beside him, but Scarlet.
"How did it become you?"
Aiden froze for a moment, then noticed Mam standing to the side, covering her mouth as she giggled.
Seeing Aiden look at her, Mam said with a seductive smile, "My apologies, but I find it hard to refuse the requests of wealthy customers."
With that, she bowed deeply to Scarlet and said, "Then I'll take my leave. Enjoy yourself, Director Scarlet."
She then straightened up and led the three attendants out through a hidden door in the room.
"Now, it's just you and me in here, my knight," Scarlet giggled, placing her left hand on Aiden's chest and slowly sliding it downward.
Aiden grabbed her left hand and said coldly, "Scarlet, you're playing with fire."
"Playing with fire? Yes, but it's the fire of desire. Aiden, I went through so much trouble to create this opportunity, I don't want to waste it," Scarlet looked at her hand, still held by Aiden, and smiled. Then her right hand reached behind her waist, undoing something, causing her red dress to slip off entirely, revealing her stunning figure in full display before Aiden.
Aiden's breath hitched, then grew rapid. His grip on Scarlet's hand gradually loosened.
He was, after all, a man, one who had already experienced the pleasures of a woman. With such beauty before him, even the strongest will began to crack.
Scarlet was pleased with Aiden's reaction. Not only did it prove he was a normal man, but it also affirmed her confidence in her own body.
After a moment's thought, Scarlet took Aiden's hand and pressed it against her chest, intending to further erode his resistance.
Feeling the softness in his palm, Aiden's eyes flickered with conflict before he abruptly pulled his hand back, saying, "No, Aerith and the others are still outside."
"Isn't that even more exciting?" Scarlet knew Aiden was already wavering. She glanced at the door and added, "Besides, you don't want them to see this, do you?"
Of course, Aiden didn't want Aerith and the others to find out. Given their personalities, he probably wouldn't end up like that guy from School Days, but they'd definitely sulk for a long time.
So he made one last attempt to struggle free, trying to sit up and leave.
But Scarlet wouldn't let him. She swung her long leg over him, straddling his waist as she leaned down, pressing against him while removing the last piece of fabric covering her.
Tossing the lace lingerie aside, Scarlet wrapped her arms tightly around Aiden and whispered in his ear, "Now, enjoy my services."
At that moment, Aiden could hold back no longer. He wasn't a saint, and ever since returning from the Resident Evil world, his mindset had already shifted somewhat. Though he'd been deliberately suppressing his desires, none of that mattered now.
So the moment Scarlet finished speaking, Aiden pulled her into his arms, flipped her beneath him, and pinned her down.
The sudden movement drew a gasp from Scarlet, but she quickly covered her mouth, as if afraid the sound might reach those outside.
But Aiden pulled her hand away and kissed her fiercely.
"Mmm!" Scarlet's eyes widened in surprise, then filled with delight as she eagerly kissed him back…
———
Over half an hour later, the storm subsided. Scarlet finally released the hand she'd been using to muffle her moans, gasping for air.
But her face was radiant with happiness, her wish had finally come true.
Once her breathing steadied, Scarlet kissed Aiden's lips once more before resting her head contentedly on his arm.
"Happy now?" Aiden stroked Scarlet's smooth golden hair, repeating the words he'd said after their first kiss.
Scarlet nodded vigorously, then added, "Aiden, will you move in with me? I want to be happy like this every day."
"Don't get greedy," Aiden pinched her chin and said.
"Fine," Scarlet pouted but could hear the firmness in his tone and knew not to push further.
Still, she asked, "Then will you at least join Shinra? That way, I can see you every day. Plus, my office is huge, it even has a comfy bed!"
"I don't want to join Shinra," Aiden shook his head.
"Aiden… do you hate Shinra too?" Scarlet asked, sensing that Aiden might share the animosity of anti-Shinra groups.
"I wouldn't say hate," Aiden replied, then hesitated before adding, "Scarlet, I want to ask you something, but…"
"What is it?" Scarlet looked at him. "Just ask."
"If one day, I become Shinra's enemy… what would you do?"
"Your enemy is my enemy," Scarlet answered without hesitation.
Then she added, "So you do dislike Shinra a little."
Aiden smiled. "I'm just saying 'if'."
"'If' means it's possible," Scarlet said seriously. "If that day ever comes, I'll leave Shinra and help you fight them."
"You don't have to do that," Aiden was touched by her unwavering resolve.
"Even if I oppose Shinra, you don't need to quit. In fact, staying with them might help me more," Aiden said, suddenly recalling an old plan to save the planet. Maybe it was time to act?
"You mean…" Scarlet seemed to grasp his meaning, her mind racing with possibilities.
Finally, all her thoughts condensed into one. 'If I can take control of Shinra, that would be the greatest help to Aiden.'
As a high-ranking executive, she knew Shinra's darkest secrets, and why so many opposed the company.
If she ruled Shinra, she could reform it. Then Aiden would have no reason to be its enemy.
"Don't worry, Aiden. I'll do everything I can to help you," Scarlet declared, her gaze resolute.
Hearing this, Aiden smiled, pulled her close, and kissed her forehead.
But Scarlet wasn't satisfied with just that. The determination in her eyes melted into desire as she shifted atop him, straddling his waist again.
"Aiden, let's go again!"
