Chapter 390There was a red light ahead. Scarlett stopped the car and answered the phone. "Hello, this is Scarlett.""It's me. Don't drive so fast. I'm not chasing you."It was Raymond.She had blocked him on the phone, but he got a new number.The traffic lights at night changed quickly. The light would be green in five seconds.Scarlett replied, "I'm hanging up."After ending the call, Scarlett couldn't help touching her face.It was a little hot.The traffic light turned green. She came out of her trance and continued to drive forward, but she didn't speed up again. In the rear-view mirror, she saw Raymond's car nearly 1000 feet behind her.Scarlett felt that she might be too impulsive tonight.The car drove into the villa area. Scarlett had just parked the car in the garage when the doorbell rang.She thought of Raymond's phone call just now and was a little afraid to open the door.When she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.Scarlett was stunned for
Chapter 391Scarlett was woken up by the alarm clock. She opened her eyes. Sunlight filtered in through the curtains. It was a sunny day today.She propped herself up. Thinking of Raymond's kiss last night, she couldn't resist flushing.He would have had sex with her if not for that phone call."Hilla, boil water for me.""Okay, master."Scarlett composed her thoughts. She got out of bed and washed up.She had a lot of things to do at Mornet today and had to eat with someone at noon.Scarlett had just finished washing up when the doorbell suddenly rang.She raised an eyebrow. It was so early in the morning. She wondered who came over.Scarlett turned on the monitor and was stunned when she saw Raymond at the door.Scarlett walked downstairs and opened the door. "Why are you here so early?""To drive my girlfriend to her company."Raymond got out of his car. He drove here himself today.Scarlett turned sideways and let him in. "Oh, come in."Just after she turned around,
Chapter 392Hearing this, Scarlett couldn't help laughing. "Are you free now?"He didn't even have time to have lunch before, did he?"I can accompany you whenever you want."Scarlett looked at him. Her ears turned red again. "What did Alexander teach you?"Raymond shook his head. "That's not what he taught me. That's what I'm thinking."He didn't understand why some people could be so lovey-dovey until now.When one looked at the person he loved, he couldn't resist saying sweet words.Scarlett bowed her head and sipped the warm water. Raymond was different from before. She was no match for him."Have you had enough?"He suddenly asked. Scarlett looked up at him and nodded. "Yeah."She never ate much for breakfast. Raymond bought a lot of food. Scarlett was full after eating two slices of bread.Immediately after she answered, Raymond leaned towards her. "Scarlett, can I kiss you?"He was asking her, but just as he finished his words, he pressed his thin lips on hers.Sca
Chapter 393Katherine could see that Scarlett was in a good mood today. She couldn't help asking, "Ms. Reed, is there any good news?"Hearing Katherine's question, Scarlett raised an eyebrow with a grunt."You seem to be in a good mood.""Really?"Was it so obvious?Katherine nodded. Worried that she had asked too much, Katherine didn't dare to say anything more.Scarlett was rarely a little embarrassed and glanced at Katherine. "Yes, I guess."She paused and changed the subject. "By the way, keep an eye on the shareholders' meeting of Centel."She was going to give Ethen a "surprise"."Okay, Ms. Reed."Katherine answered and went out.Scarlett was left alone in the office. She raised her hand and touched her cheek. It was a bit hot.At noon, Scarlett had an appointment at a hotel. She was interested in a company. It was raising the fourth round of financing.She couldn't earn as much as those who invested in the beginning, but that company was doing very well. Scarlett w
Chapter 394"No." Raymond looked at her and said, "I didn't drive my car here."Hearing this, Scarlett raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Shaw, would you like me to call for a taxi for you?"When Scarlett was speaking, her pretty eyes were slightly squinting, and the smile on her lips made Raymond itch for her.He looked at her with his dark eyes, and his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he looked away restrainedly in the end and said, "Scarlett, you'd better not smile at me like this outside."When Scarlett heard his words, her face flushed slightly, and she nodded, "OK."After She took out the car key and opened the door, Raymond voluntarily took the passenger seat.Before starting the car, Scarlett turned her head to glance at him and asked, "Don't you need to work this afternoon?""There is nothing urgent." Raymond leaned back, turned to look at her, and said, "Are you going back to the villa?""Yes." Scarlett raised an eyebrow, turned to look ahead, and pulled out into the
Chapter 395When Raymond came upstairs, Scarlett had already poured two glasses of water.She took a sip and then handed him the other glass.Raymond took it over, drank up the water, walked to the sofa while loosening his tie, and said, "Scarlett, come here."Scarlett didn't intend to go, so she said, "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."Because of the meeting with Edmund today, she had dressed up formally. When Raymond hugged her just now, her clothes made her feel not very comfortable.Raymond tilted his head while looking at her, and he didn't follow her up but remained on the sofa.After Scarlett went upstairs, he was left alone in the living room on the second floor. When he saw the glass Scarlett had left on the table, he frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone, and called Frank.Frank was hesitating whether to call Raymond to remind him of the pile of documents to be signed and ask him to come back to the office euphemistically, and he hadn't expected Ray
Chapter 396Raymond hugged her tightly, leaned back casually, and suddenly gave a low laugh, "Well, it's really sweet."Scarlett leaned against his chest, feeling as if his laughter and words were drifting into her heart through her ears.She lowered her head and couldn't help smiling.The sunlight of the afternoon penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole living room was quiet.Scarlett paused for a while, then looked up at Raymond, and said, "It's 1 pm now. Go to the guest bedroom to get some sleep."She hadn't noticed Raymond had dark circles under his eyes until she had gotten closer to him. Raymond had not lied. He indeed had not slept well last night.The fact that Scarlett had agreed to get back together with him was like a dream. He had doubted he was dreaming, so he had been afraid if he fell asleep, he would find everything was false when he woke up.He had been thinking about her grin when she had gotten into the car all night.He had also tho
Chapter 397Maybe Raymond was sleepy. He fell asleep in just a few minutes.Scarlet was trying to pull out her hand, which was held in Raymond’s hand. However, he held it tighter than before when she moved slightly. The sun shone brightly through the window. Raymond behaved himself when he was sleeping. He said he would just hold her hand. He meant what he said.Scarlet looked down at his face and his closed eyes. She found while he slept, he was not aloof and looked much more approachable. A gust of cold wind sprang up, lifting his collar. Scarlet raised her hand and put the light blanket over him. She went to bed early last night and didn’t want to take a nap now. However, Raymond held her hand and she could only stay there to accompany him. After sitting for a while, she was getting drowsy. However, the loud rings of the doorbell woke her up before she fell asleep. Scarlet frowned and looked at Raymond, who had just opened his eyes and stared at her. She took the
