Does he think that just because he’s rich, he doesn’t actually have to be a nice person too? No. Chuck is nice and fun, Scarlett thought to herself. Why was Francis behaving like this?
Scarlett turned away, pulled out her cell phone from her bag, and started to play games. “You can’t drink at dinner.” All of a sudden, Francis broke the silence and commanded. Scarlett was not sure who he was talking to. “What?”
Francis closed his eyes for a moment and said, “I won’t take you home if you are drunk again.”
Scarlett pinched her thigh to vent her anger; her desire to jump out of the moving car got even stronger. But she had to fake a smile. She said, “Well, I won’t drink.”
Mr. Sandler’s secretary, who was sitting in the front seat, was hearing all this back and forth. The
Hello Lovies, As I promised earlier that starting May 1st I will do regular daily updates for this novel. I've given five mass releases today. Enjoy the rest of the chapters!
The two discussed food: the twelve top dishes that feature shrimp, techniques to roast pork to retain its juiciness, and secret family recipes for meat sauce. Scarlett went back to school satisfied.The academic transcripts for the junior year students were publicly displayed on every board in the hallways. The teachers also announced the annual scholarship winners.Nobody was surprised to see that Scarlett was on the list again. To her delight, she found that she would receive around 6k in scholarships alone. She took another glance at the notice board and then went upstairs to the classroom.Bell was late. She walked with light steps into the classroom and took the seat next to Scarlett. Scarlett was listening to Professor Suvorov talking passionately about the new policies toward Russia proposed by President Trum
Scarlett didn’t seem to care that she didn’t have luggage on her. She took a seat next to Chuck, held up the coffee pot, and poured herself a cup of coffee. She smiled charmingly and said, “I don’t want to drag some heavy bags around. Especially not when you’ll leave me stranded and go off to talk to some woman or another.”Chuck raised his eyebrows, “You really think I’m that kind of person?”Scarlett shook her head and said, “I was just kidding. You’re the best friend. Thank you for doing this for me.”Chuck took a look at her. “Come on. Don’t be happy now.”As soon as they boarded the plane, Scarlett was ready to sleep. She had lost sleep for a few days, and now the comfort and s
The longer Scarlett waited, the angrier she felt. She cursed Chuck internally. If they finished within an hour or two, then she would still have a chance to get in and sleep. The clock struck 2 am. Scarlett was sleepy, and her phone was almost dead. She tried one last time to call Chuck.“Sorry! The subscriber you dialed can not be connected for the moment, and please redial later.” The automated voice on the other end of the line said.Scarlett leaned on the sofa and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the front door opened, and a group of people in suits walked in. The lobby manager, who had refused Scarlett’s request, immediately walked up to the door and greeted the boss in front with a professional, bright smile.“Francis Sandler!” Scarlett recognized the man in front, and her eyes
As Chuck and last night’s Latina kissed goodbye right outside the door of their room, Scarlett emerged from the corner."Where did you sleep last night?"“I slept with your uncle!”Chuck suspiciously looked at her, “Wait. What the fuck? Is Francis in Hong Kong? I didn’t know you two know each other… when did you even meet?”Scarlett pointed to her dress. “By the way, he bought me this. Does it look good on me?”Chuck’s face turned pale. “Did you really hook up with my uncle?”“No fucking way!” Scarlett snorted. “I met him in the lobby last night. There was no room left, so I just crashed int
Scarlett did not want to be in the limelight again, so she pulled her cap down hard, trying to hide her face.“A woman?”Someone pointed at Scarlett and laughed. With her hands in the pockets of her coat, Scarlett leaned against the car. Her legs looked straight and slender in her tight black trousers. She played with a lighter in her hand and did not say a word.Old Jim did not bother to talk to him either. “Cut the bullshit and heat the fucking engine! No one gonna be able to escape if the fucking cops come.”Scarlett opened the door and sat inside the car. Compared to Chuck’s sports car, she was more familiar with this car. The bulky man next to her car waved to her and gestured to her to roll the window down. Scarlett sneered and turned
Scarlett fell asleep against the wall after an hour of hopeless waiting before a police officer came in and informed her that she could leave. She walked out with her sleepy eyes to find that the man shaking hands with the head office was none other than Francis Sandler.Why did she have to let this man witness every single embarrassing moment in her life? Scarlett thought desperately.“Sorry to cause you trouble, Sir. Forgive the naughty girl.” Francis said to the officer politely.“The fault is mine, Mr. Sandler. We had no idea that Miss Morris is your niece…”Francis’s eyes had settled on Scarlett as soon as she walked out from the detention room. Scarlett shivered at the sight of Francis. She was wondering if sleeping at the polic
This year’s conference was a bit different from the previous ones. Usually, the scholarships were awarded only to postgraduate and doctoral students. But this year, four undergraduates, including Scarlet, had the honor of receiving scholarships too. As they were introduced to the audience by the master of ceremonies, the promotional video featuring all four of them played on a large screen behind.At the end of the video, the provost stood up and walked up to the stage. A silver-haired old man, he rarely made speeches in front of the whole school. After adjusting the microphone, he started his speech.“University of Irving is a highly inclusive, international university. We respect freedom of speech, and on our campus, we encourage healthy dialogue amongst parties who hold differing views on important matters facing our world today. We don’t,
“I was thinking… if they still have vacancies for waitresses at this restaurant, I want to apply for the job... The salary here seems like it would be quite high!”“What are you going to write on your résumé about your special skills and areas of expertise? Car racing? Smoking? Skipping school?”“I also got the Sandler Scholarship and the recommendation letter. Isn’t that good enough? Anyway, car racing is a cool skill.”“So you’re proud of it?” Francis put down his fork and was beginning to get angry. Scarlett immediately lowered her head to drink soup.“No racing from now on!” All of a sudden, Francis commanded her.Scarlett swallow
