Seeing that Scarlett was being so sincere in admitting her own wrongdoings without any of her usual snarky remarks made Jonathan's mood improve immensely. He simply looked at her wordlessly before turning his attention back to the road. Scarlett had no idea if Jonathan was upset or not. Regardless of his mood, she decided it would be best for her to just lower her gaze silently, hoping that her obedient behavior would improve his mood.They arrived at Jonathan's home soon after. Scarlett hastily exited the car before Jonathan had even parked it. She rushed into the house to feed Monkey. Since she'd unintentionally upset Jonathan tonight, she had to make it up to him somehow, and she opted to take care of Monkey.Jonathan had to suppress a laugh at how unexpectedly nice Scarlett was being tonight. It seemed like she'd finally learned her lesson after all the time with him and was finding ways to make it up to him for everything she'd done tonight. Though she was clearly barking up the

Scarlett was rendered speechless by him again. She didn't want to admit it, but he was right. He'd never said that he'd let her answer the phone after a kiss; she'd just assumed that's what he'd meant. She'd only kissed him to get him off her back; if she'd known that a simple kiss would've made things more difficult, she wouldn't have kissed him to begin with.In the end, she could only blame her own rotten luck for meeting a man like him in the first place. There was nothing left to say now, nor was there any point in regretting her actions. "Alright, fine. Can I pick up my phone now?" Scarlett asked angrily. What more did he want from her? She'd already kissed him and allowed him to take advantage of her. He couldn't possibly want any more than that, right?Her unpleasant tone made his mood sour as well. He'd been in a perfectly good mood up until her annoyed retort, and he roared, "What are you trying to say? Don't forget, I paid for you, so I own you!"Scarlett was fuming at

"You see, my cousin is in desperate need of a tenant. Her requirements are simple; since she isn't renting the house out to earn money, all she's looking for is a reliable tenant, preferably a single female working an honest job nearby. If you feel as if these conditions apply to you, then it's actually a win-win situation for both you and my cousin. She needs a good tenant, and you need a cheap house, so the two of you can help each other out," Christopher explained smoothly. He was the president of Zart Enterprise, so of course he knew how to deal with fresh-faced women like Scarlett, who was just starting to work in the city. If he couldn't even convince an innocent woman, then he'd be the laughing stock of the town.Scarlett immediately nodded at his words and reassured him, "Don't worry! I'm working an honest job, and I don't have any bad habits like drinking or smoking. Besides, I'm also single …" Scarlett trailed off hesitatingly at her relationship status because she herself

Isabelle also knew that the solution she was proposing wasn't an easy one. However, she had to give it a try. She couldn't just stand by and do nothing as her savior's company fell into ruin. Besides, her boss had also been looking quite troubled for the past few days, which worried her."Scar, I know it's not easy, but I can't just give up. This matter is way too important for me to give up on. I don't know what else I can say to persuade you … Will you help me? You told me that you know someone who works in the housekeeping department at that hotel. Could you please ask her to place a hidden camera in the room? Of course, once my plan is successful, I'll reward her well for her efforts too. In fact, I can give her around one million dollars. What do you say, Scarlett?" Isabelle had her mind set on catching the president of Leonard Corporations in the act, and it didn't seem like anything could change her mind anymore.Scarlett did indeed have a good friend, Serena Jenson, who worke

"There's no need to thank me. In fact, I have yet to thank you for helping me out yesterday," Scarlett assured her as she took the test paper with her. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of another question. She turned back to Shirley to ask, "Why is her office on the 21st floor?""The leaders of each department are stationed on the 21st floor. Since Candace is the manager of the HR department, her office is also there," Shirley explained."Oh, I see. Maybe that's why I have yet to meet the owner of the company," Scarlett mumbled to herself as she left the meeting room.Shirley had caught Scarlett's mumbling and frowned. What an odd thing to say! What did she mean by saying that she hadn't met the boss yet? The way she said it sounded as if she didn't know Christopher at all, but she was in his car yesterday; there was no way that she didn't know who the boss was.Shirley thought about it a while longer and came to the conclusion that Scarlett had only said that t
