Scarlet was sitting in her large bedroom of her father's mansion, polishing her long nails the colour of her name. She was bored. Who would have thought at twenty-eight, and being one of the most wealthy women around would be such a bore sometimes. Maybe I'll phone Reeve, just hope his wife's not at home.
Scarlet could have practically taken an aeroplane to get to the other side of her room it was so big. She sat down on her pure gold prosperous chair, creasing out her tight scarlet dress. She reached out for her old - fashioned golden phone and dialled. SShe waited for the older-man's voice to answer.
"Hello?" The older man's voice filtered through the phone.
"Hey baby, it's me."
"I can't speak now!" His voice turned into a harsh whisper. "Jinette's here." His voice turned even lower.
"Are you free tonight then?" Scarlet asked, rather annoyed. Reeve was beginning to get rather boring now. He was becoming more occupied with his wife and more unattractive by the day.
"No, got a date with Jinette."
"Tomorrow then?!" She was beginning to get even more irritated.
"We can't, there's that meeting at Shinra, remember?"
Scarlet sometimes forgot she was the head of the weapons department at Shinra. People often thought she was too young for the job, but no one could argue with the fact that she was damn good at it.
She slammed the phone down. She couldn't be bothered with Reeve anymore. But who would keep her bed warm while her boyfriend Rufus was out of town...? Especially since her father wasn't around to interfere. Not that her father was around much, or paid much attention to her. They barely said much words to each other either as father and daughter.
Scarlet went back to her bed. She ran her hands through her golden blond hair. I'm so bored! She thought to herself. Maybe she'll pop around Shinra, even though it was her day off. Tseng might be there...Now there was a real man.
She walked half a mile to her wardrobe to get her big velvet fur coat. Then her work table where there lay another expensive phone. She dialled a number. Seconds later her deputy answered.
"At your acquaintance Miss Scarlet."
"Lirone, I want a limmo ready for me in five minutes."
"Yes ma'am!"

Scarlet arrived at the Shinra building half an hour later. She ordered a helicopter to the 68th floor, for the first floor was such an utter disgrace. There should be a replacement for the first floor guard. Those other guards were pathetic- how could they let that Avalanche burn down the WHOLE of floor one? But then again, she never really hung around the lower building.
She arrived on the sixty eighth floor a couple of minutes later. The sixty eighth floor mainly consisted of large offices containing confidential files. She was greeted by some of the Shinra workers.
"Hey Scarlet! What you doing here? Isn't it your day off?" A secretary known as Malon greeted.
"Yes, I know but I just thought maybe I'll pop in and see... how things are going." Scarlet now stood in the centre of the big floor, in the spot light as usual. She walked stylishly to the far right of the room and decided to take the stairs to the 67th floor- the Turks organisation. She took equal steps down the stairs until she finally got to the 67th floor. She got out her key card from inside her hand bag and put it across the slit. The electronic door opened to reveal the large floor full of offices and endless corridors. She made her way to the large room right at the heart of the floor. The door was open so she just stepped in.
-Yes, Tseng was there sitting on a chair his legs perched up on the desk. He was reading some papers and looked up when Scarlet stepped in.
"Scarlet. What brings you here?" He said flatly.
Scarlet licked her lips and walked towards the desk and sat on it crossing her legs and sticking out her chest in a provoking posture. Then in a deep voice said: "Hi Tseng."
"What do you want?" Tseng's dark eyes creased . He ran a hand through his long black hair.
"Just wanted to say hi. Is that a problem?"
"I'm busy. Would you go?" He replied in a harsh tone
"No way! I just got here!"
Tseng just gave the young woman a dark look.
"Come on, cheer up baby..." Scarlet moved in closer crawling across the desk until her face was just a few centimetres away from Tseng's. She looked into the man's deep dark eyes. "Come on Tseng..." She stuck out her tongue and licked the man's lips, which were sealed tight.
"... Remember last Christmas at my place...wouldn't want Elena to know now would we?" She leaned in closer and kissed him. He shoved her back with only little force, but still enough to make her tumble back to the ground on her back and hit it hard. Before she could open her mouth to scream, Tseng's large hand was cupped around her big mouth.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" Anger fired in her eyes and you'd mistake her face for a tomato.
"Shhhhhhh!" Tseng put a finger to his lips. He released his hand from the girl's mouth and put it to her neck instead. "Now, Bitch, you tell Elena anything, and you're dead!" He emphasised through clenched teeth. Scarlet's eyes were shut tight, while struggling to get oxygen through to her lungs while the man's hand was gripped tightly around her windpipe. Agonising moments later, he finally released his grip around Scarlet's neck. Scarlet gasped for breath, in and out, getting as much oxygen as possible.
She finally calmed down after a few minutes and swallowed. Her hair was a mess and her lipstick was smeared. Her natural colour began returning to her face but her eyes remained puffy and swollen. She stood up holding her paining back swaying a little as soon as she got her strength back.
"You watch Tseng! When I become in charge, I'm gonna make sure you have a HELL of a time!" She bellowed and ran out of the office bumping into a blond hared woman in a slick navy blue suit, her hair put to one side. She regarded Scarlet with curiosity, but then turned back around to the large office in front of her. She stepped inside, her eyes widening with surprise when she saw the long dark hared man on his knees with bright red lipstick smeared across his lips.
"Elena- I can explain..."
