Chapter 11: I Dare Not Want It
“What are these for?” Scarlett stared at a whole row of luxurious sports cars in wide-eyed excitement.“Racing cars. They’ve got a racing game here every Saturday night.” Sophie turned to her and explained.“Ah. Got it!”Even as Scarlett dealt with socializing with Jeff and Sophie’s friends, she couldn’t move her eyes away from the rows of high-configuration sports cars only 10 meters away. They were all modified supercars, some even outfitted with nitrogen tanks to speed them up. This was a visual feast– she felt her mouth grow wet with desire.Scarlett narrowed her eyes. The silver car that stood parked on the far left captured her imagination. She breathed in deep and saw thick wads of dollar bills float down

Chunk touched his chin and asked curiously, “Then what do you want?”“This one.” She pointed to the reflector, and she was estimating its worth. “So, what do you think? What’s this worth, like 15k?” She grew excited at the thought of the fortune awaiting her.Chuck was surprised at her choice, “Ya know, you’re pretty bad at business. I gotta hand it to you.”“Deal? Or no deal?” Scarlett had her own set of principles.“Of course!” Chuck Sandler couldn’t wait to watch the show.The final race was just about to start. The cheering crowds were full of excitement; people screamed and shouted to no end.

Chapter 13: How’s Everything Going?
Although Scarlett had made a fortune, she still kept a low profile. There was only one person she wanted to share the news with her younger brother, Skyler. So, she gave Skyler a call and asked if they could get dinner in the coming week.Scarlett arrived at Skyler’s lab 20 minutes earlier than their appointed time. She leaned against a tree and played some games on her phone to pass the time.At a top science and engineering school like the one Skyler went to, there were usually many more male students than female. So, as one would expect, Scarlett drew a lot of attention on such a campus.The school was always worried about the disastrous consequences of having such a hypermasculine institution– it further discouraged women from entering STEM fields when they saw how skewed in favor of women the demogr

Chapter 14: You’re Flattering Me
You have to think of yourself now. It’s your time.”“Do you think it really necessary? I mean, it’s just… a language.”Skyler’s face grew serious at once, “Don’t you want to study further? You could become an expert in no time! I’m sure you’ll find work somewhere, or you could even become a Russian professor at the college. Just like mom!”“How boring it is to be a professor!” Scarlett didn’t think that becoming a professor would be all that exciting to her. That wasn’t really her goal, as far as her career went.“Alright, even if you are not going to be a professor, it’s still necessary to further your education. It’s quite possible that you could be an int

Chapter 15: A Fair Deal
Half an hour later, Scarlett found herself in a luxurious salon. She decided to shut her mouth and just let the hairstylists work their magic; their imposing scissors scared her a little bit, but she decided to let whatever was about to happen just happen.She was actually happy to get a haircut in this expensive salon that was way out of her budget, and she decided that even if the stylist shaved all of her hair off today, she would not utter a word of complaint.After about two hours, the hairstylist announced that she was done.Scarlett looked in the mirror to find that her dark brown hair had turned from straight to wavy. The stylist had cut her hair a little bit shorter and given it a perm. It seemed like the stylist had achieved the best combination of sexy and adorable. Scarlett was quite satisfied with her n

Chapter 16: Good Game
Allen belonged to the latter category. After one shot, the reds were all scattered.Scarlett observed the balls on the table and then bent down. The thigh-high slits of her dress caused her some trouble; she was extra careful not to risk any accidental exposure.She bent over to find a good position, and her chest almost touched the table. She bent her left arm and used her left hand to fix a position for the cue and her right hand to hold the cue on its back.She didn’t grab the cue tightly because that would decrease the speed of the shot; she didn’t weigh down the tip of the cue either because that would shake the target of the shot.After she thought she was perfectly ready, she squinted her eyes and struck promptly and with confidence. It was smooth and

Chapter 17: She Looked Like A Doll
Chuck shook Scarlett and said, “Hey, this is my uncle Francis. You sleep in his house tonight!”Scarlett was so drunk that she could not see the man clearly, but she tried to raise her head and nodded at the man, “Hi, Francis!”Francis stared at her but didn’t say anything. Chuck hurriedly took her into the house and threw her on the sofa, fearing that his uncle would reverse his decision to let Scarlett stay at his place for the night.“Uncle Francis, I’m so sorry to bother you. But I can’t take her home since…you know, well, Tiffany is around. She’d get mad. But I don’t think I can let her sleep at the hotel alone either. So…please take care of her for the night. I will come to pick her up first thing tomorrow morning!” Chuck thought h

Chapter 18: Take It Easy
Then, without wasting so much as a second, she got out of the car as quickly as possible. She breathed a sigh of relief. It had seemed to her like the morning would never come to an end, but somehow, by god’s grace, her gravely embarrassing morning had finally come to a close.As soon as Bell met Scarlett in the classroom, she started gossiping about what had happened last night. Even after Bell spent a lot of time interrogating Scarlett, nothing interesting slipped from Scarlett’s mouth.Finally, audition day came. Sophie had recommended Scarlett for a part-time gig as a model, but Scarlett still needed to try out at the casting call first. Scarlett chose a high-waisted dark-blue chiffon dress for the audition. It was one of her favorite dresses– she reserved it for wearing only on important occasions. It was cinched at the waist, so it showe

Chapter 19: Nice To Meet You Mr. Sandler
Scarlett looked at the solemn building, with crowds constantly entering and leaving. She began to wonder about the wealth contained in that building. How big was the Sandler family fortune?John took Scarlett to the director, spoke a few words to her, and then left. The director didn’t seem very harsh, and Scarlett wasn’t going to work under her anyway. To the director, Scarlett looked smart, agreeable, and pleasant overall.“The meeting is starting at 4:10, you can familiarize yourself with the documents in the meantime.” The personnel director handed the documents needed for the meeting to her, including the Russian version. Scarlett needed to memorize a lot of business-related Russian vocabulary within an hour, but it was not a big problem for her. She felt quite confident in her Russian abilities. Her mother had, after all, been a pr

Chapter 20: Give Her A Room
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
