“Mrs. Sh-, Miss Reed.” Frank was really not used to changing the term of address all of a sudden. He almost made a mistake again and again. Scarlett got rid of the hand around her head with force when she heard someone calling out to her. Just as she lifted her head from Mark’s arms, she saw that Raymond’s secretary had unknowingly squeezed into the center of the trouble. “Secretary Lewis, is something wrong?” Frank staggered somewhat embarrassedly as he was pushed by those reporters and could not stand steadily. He barely managed to stand firmly after several seconds. “Miss Reed, Mr. Shaw asked you to go over.” Scarlett raised her eyebrow after she heard that. She looked past Frank to look at the black car more than ten meters away. She could not see the person inside clearly due to the special car windows, but she could feel that the person inside was looking at her. Scarlett curled her lips and responded, “I’m sorry, Secretary Lewis. Please tell Mr. Shaw that in order
Raymond’s day could not be described as just “uncomfortable”. He initially thought that divorcing Scarlett would be a good and happy thing for him. Nevertheless, not long after the news of their divorce spread, he received several calls from his close childhood friends and buddies. All of them asked the same thing as soon as he picked up the phone. “Ray, did you really divorce Scarlett?” This question would not make things difficult for Raymond at all. He was not going to hide that he and Scarlett had divorced. Besides, he could not have hidden it because of the show that happened in the morning. Raymond answered honestly and coldly, “Yes.” One of them gasped on the other end of the call. “My God, Scarlett the dumb woman has finally given up on you and not cling to you? Ray, for a moment, I don’t know if I should congratulate you or pity you. A woman like Scarlett is hard to find even if you openly look for one in our circle. You’re the only one in her heart, and she only has
Looking at Scarlett, who was in a red dress not far away, Alexander could not help but curse, “What the hell!” Stephen James raised his eyebrow next to him and asked, “What’s the matter?” “Scarlett didn’t ask Raymond for a single penny.” Stephen laughed. “Who did you hear it from? If she didn’t ask Raymond for money, how could she have the money to book this whole place today? The drinks tonight cost at least three million dollars. Do you think Scarlett looks like a woman who can fork out three million dollars on her own?” Alexander did not believe it as well, but he responded, “Raymond just told me himself.” Stephen was stunned for a while. “What the hell indeed.” Scarlett also thought that it was absurd. She did not think that she would meet Raymond’s friends when she barely came to a bar. What was more, they were not ordinary friends. Alexis saw that she was distracted and handed her a cocktail. “What are you doing? Why do you still look so bitter? You’re not suddenly
Alexis was obviously meek and civil in public, but a tyrant at home. She usually said things like “Raymond is a damned man” smoothly but once she met the man in person, she had no guts at all. “Ah, Elder Sister Nicole is calling for you. Go on and talk, go on and talk!” Afterward, she left right away, leaving Scarlett alone to face Raymond, who was hiding her anger. Far away from the battlefield, Alexis still could not resist her nature of being a busybody, hence she turned to look. When she noticed Raymond’s dark face, she felt guilty for abandoning Scarlett, which was rare for her to feel this way. ‘Oh God, Raymond won’t hit a woman, right?’ Scarlett looked at Raymond in front of her and smiled. “Okay.” She curled her lips and followed him out of Night Party. The two of them stood under the light by the road. Scarlett had just gotten off the stage earlier. Her earlocks were slightly messy, and her cheeks were a little flushed. She looked at Raymond with her peach blossom
Scarlett slept very late last night and drank two cocktails. The hangover made her feel uncomfortable. Alexis happened to call her early in the morning, which was so noisy that she could not continue to sleep. “What’s the matter again, famous celebrity Alexis?” Scarlett was usually grumpy when she woke up but had been suppressing it for a long time at the Shaw Residence. Now that this side of her was unblocked, she was as restless as a ferocious beast that had just gotten out of its cage. Honestly, Alexis should be glad that Scarlett was not in front of her. “Did I wake you up?” Scarlett rolled her eyes and got up from her bed while rubbing her temples. “Hurry up and talk.” “... Your ex-husband is trending with his dream girl. Now, the whole internet is discussing if the two of you peacefully divorced because you’ve both cheated on each other.” Scarlett was stunned for a while and sobered up a lot. “You also called him my ex-husband. In the future, it won’t be necessary f
On the day of Julie’s art exhibition, Scarlett especially spent over an hour putting on delicate makeup. Her long and fluffy hair was made into a fishtail braid hanging down behind her, where only some loose hair was let down on the sides of her forehead. She matched an apricot silk loose shirt with a green midi pencil skirt. It gave her the elegance of a French lady, but it also made her look lazy yet sexy at the same time. Mark could not help but whistle lightly when he saw Scarlett. “Elder Sister Scarly, when do you plan to look for a boyfriend? Can you give me a number first? Let me get in line first.” Scarlet found it rather funny. “Stop joking.” “I’m very serious.” Mark took off his shades and looked down at her. He was indeed very serious. Scarlett was stunned for a while. She did not have the thought of starting a new relationship at the moment, much less the idea of stirring up any trouble with a young hunk from her company? Instead of responding to him, she direct
Mark studied painting before his debut. He was also given an exception to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 17, and he won third place at the Prada Award with the “Impression Sunrise” at the age of 19. Since then, he became famous overseas, and nobody else in the country was able to be selected for the Prada Award list. Nonetheless, Mark only took painting as his hobby. He was headhunted by Alexis and debuted when he was 20 years old. Until last year when he graduated from university, he got selected for the Prada Award again with another work. This shocked the entire entertainment industry and art community. Therefore, Mark’s remarks on Julie earlier were a fatal blow. Julie had long wanted to collaborate with Mark. Not only did she want to benefit from his fan base and exposure, but she also wanted to use his popularity to boost hers. Even so, Mark rejected her, hence her plan failed. Initially, the outside world speculated that Mark did not collab
At 3:00 pm, along with a statement posted on Julie’s social media account, the public opinion on the internet changed again. Julie’s statement was close to a thousand words but in fact, they only carried two meanings: one was that she and Raymond were just very good friends, and she did not do anything to ruin his marriage with Scarlett while they were still married; the second was that it was her painting exhibition today, so she was a bit confused why Scarlett, who had gotten divorced with Raymond, would show up. Anyone who was slightly smarter could tell that Julie’s statement was extremely b*tchy. Her seemingly objective clarification was actually very b*tchy. The words she used for her second point were to secretly mock Scarlett for not letting go even after her divorce, so much so that she could not help to bring someone to show off at the painting exhibition of her ex-husband’s good friend. Alexis had been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years. She felt tha
