Scarlett smiled and nodded, and when all the staff had left, she headed for the underground garage. As she pulled out her phone to ask Francis where he was, a sleek black car pulled up in front of her. Scarlett opened the door, climbed in, and fell directly into Francis's arms.
“Can’t you just rest for a while?!” Scarlett murmured as her lips were sealed by Francis’s. As soon she got in the car, she was warmly welcomed by his passionate kiss.
After a while, Francis stopped and said, “I’ve told you not to drink that much!” Scarlett got up from his arms. “You got drunk yourself!” Francis pinched her cheek softly. He was a bit angry, but he just couldn’t resist her cute sexiness that always eased his anger and comforted his heart.
Suddenly, Francis lifted her
Stella was incredibly excited to see that Scarlett had shot to fame overnight. She and Andrew discussed the cover of the anniversary special edition and ideas for the shoot inexhaustibly. Then, they asked Scarlett to run through a full-dress rehearsal one after another. Scarlett was dizzy from all the outfit changes and very tired. The only comforting thing was that Stella had insisted on paying her a princely sum. Scarlett planned on using that money to help Skyler go and attend university abroad. This meant she would be able to borrow less money from Chuck and still help Skyler achieve his goals.Francis Francis also watched that video, not that he had much spare time to follow fashion and entertainment news. But Amanda, as a qualified assistant, knew exactly how to cater to her boss!In the beginning, Francis was not interested when Amanda told him it was a
Scarlett was still stunned, and she tried to make the whole situation less serious than it felt. “Hey, aren’t you asking for too much interest on the debt I owe you?” Francis remained solemn, "I'm not joking with you. By the way, is Skyler going to Britain?""Yeah, but why?" Scarlett looked at him, alert. She couldn't figure out why he had just mentioned her brother. "If you stay with me, I will pay Skyler's tuition fees and living expenses, as well as take charge of his safety abroad. Very cost-effective deal for you, isn't it?" Francis hardly revealed any emotions from his words.Scarlett sat up straight as well, and her face had now grown serious. "I don't need your money. Do you think you can just buy me like that?" She paused for a while and took a deep breath. "I don't sell myself.” Her voice was shaking, either because of uncontro
“You were so scary just now! I am still a weak woman…” Francis pulled her to him without her permission and put her on his knees. “Alright, alright. It’s my fault. I didn’t really mean it, Scarlett.”“Do we have a plan B, Uncle Francis?” Scarlett felt the tension between them was eased, and she dared to ask such a question. “Scarlett!” Francis raised his voice to turn down her bold request. “Then… are you doing this because… because you really love me?” Scarlett lowered her voice and asked very cautiously.“It just can’t be more obvious, you little fool!” Francis was angry at this stupid, clueless girl but couldn’t help but hold her even more tightly.“If you really love

She had never had sex before– this would be her first time. Ever. Her courage had disappeared in the face of Francis’s wanton aggression, and she couldn’t imagine how painful it would be to have him inside her.Francis pounced all of a sudden and pinned Scarlett down again. With one hand playing with her nipple, he sucked passionately on her breasts, alternating between them.This vicious look was definitely not the usually calm and sophisticated Francis. Scarlett felt like a fish on the chopping block, and the only thing she c
(Warning: This chapter contains a sexual scene. If you're not comfortable reading it kindly skip it and move to another chapter)The dinner was delicately made. Scarlett had prepared stewed mutton with red wine and fresh vegetables, which was perfect for winter days, and a braised cod with tomato and thyme, grilled asparagus with butter and cheese as well as prawn salad.The color and the flavor of the food were almost Michelin level. Even though Francis was a very picky eater, he chewed away at the mutton and ate all the food on his plate.“Thank you for this amazing treat. The mutton is perfect.” Francis finished his meal and wiped his mouth. Scarlett put down the fork and said, “Really? It’s probably because I used the red wine from your cellar.”
“I don't like receiving excessive attention from others, and I don't like the idea of putting my entire life on the stage to perform for the public. I’m sorry. I’ve gotta go.” Scarlett left her seat and walked out of Stella’s office.Before she had reached the bus station, Scarlett received a call from Niki.“What's up, girl? I never expect you to call” Scarlett was a bit surprised.Niki had always been the most successful in their dorm in her career and relationships too. She was the Student Union vice president and the leading debater of the school’s nationally ranked debate team. She was lively, cheerful, and caring, and she had many friends from departments too. Undoubtedly, she was much more popular than Scarlett in the department, but that didn’t get betwee
She was a little desperate. Her eyes were full of helplessness and despair. It was like being pushed to the edge of a cliff. Scarlett walked a step closer to Niki and asked calmly, “You really made up your mind?”“I’ve got no choice. I thought he would be responsible. But after I told him the news, he just froze and ran away without saying anything. Can you believe it? He ran away and disappeared! I was desperate and cried every single day… Then he texted me the other day…you read it yourself.”Niki took out her phone and handed it to Scarlett.The text read, “I’m sorry, Niki. But I’m not ready to be a father. I’m sorry.” Scarlett threw the phone on the bed, “Asshole.”“I know, I
“How dare you reject my calls? I called you three times! Care to explain why you haven’t been home in two days? What the hell is wrong with you, girl?” Francis’s deep voice was so loud. It felt like he was right next to Scarlett at that moment. She could even hear his furious breathing.Scarlett sensed that he was sulking and unhappy. She patiently explained to him in as gentle a voice as she could manage. “Honey, listen, just calm down. I haven’t run away. Why would I do that? One of my friends had a major emergency, so I accompanied her to the hospital to sort everything out. Didn’t you receive my messages?”Scarlett heard the sound of pages turning from the other side of the phone and suspected that Francis must still be working. She wished she could be with him at the moment.
