Erica was very disappointed because she had really been keen on winning that prize. Although she didn’t even know what the prize was going to be, she knew that she would actually have a shot at winning and enjoying it with Scarlett by her side.
“Alright, fine. I’m going to head out then, I guess.”
Scarlett nodded her head and closed her eyes as Erica left the apartment. She was ready to take a nap and truly enjoyed her weekend.
But just as Scarlett was falling asleep, her phone suddenly started ringing loudly. Scarlett picked her phone up and sighed and then decided to answer it.
“Hello?”
“Scarlett, Please help me!” a loud voice shouted on the other side.
As Glen was behind her, he saw her finger trembling slightly. Upon seeing that, he immediately stepped forward and said, “Elijah, I’m the one who made the stupid mistake of deciding to gamble with you. Please don’t get my friend involved in this.”Elijah just smiled and said, “I’m trying to make friends with this young lady, don’t you see that? What’s so wrong with that, Glen?”Glen rubbed his wrists and glanced at the race car driver who had just walked into the room. He pointed at him and said to Elijah, “The last round, shall we start it now?”The driver took a look at his boss, seemingly waiting for his boss to give him his orders. He stood there motionlessly and completely quiet.“We
Standing against the car, Elijah watched the three of them walking toward the little clinic, and he rubbed his fingers together. He was almost beginning to admire this old woman who had appeared out of nowhere.It was less than five seconds. She could have exploded along with the car. It had been painfully close… and she might explode with the car. That was so close.Scarlett seemed to sense his gaze. She turned around and met his eyes.“What an interesting woman!” Elijah remarked in his strange voice. When he said that, a strange smile came upon his face.***Glen’s babbling was hurting Scarlett’s ears.“Hey Glen, can you s
Amanda hurriedly walked towards Francis back at his office. Upon seeing that, Francis put his cell phone away and asked seriously, “What’s the matter?”“Boss, recently, the advertising department has chosen a star as our new spokesman...”Francis nodded his head and said, “Yeah, they reported that to me. The previous contract is about to expire, so they wanted to find a new spokesman.”“Here is the problem…the spokesman they invited is Mary Patel,” Amanda explained.“How the hell did that happen?” he frowned.“Considering the trend of our company’s development, they think the next spokesman for our company must be an influential star, and Mar
Scarlett said, as she took off the apron and threw it on the cooking table.Eve held her shoulders and said, “Calm down! We are just getting started, aren’t we? We just need to find someone who can train under you for long enough, and then you don’t have to be the head chef anymore. What do you say? Listen, it’s not going to be so bad. I promise.”Scarlett felt like Eve wasn’t taking her feelings seriously enough, so she just wanted to quit and get out of the situation as quickly as she could.“Look, Scarlett, just stick with me on this one. It’s a promising project, don’t you think? If we play our cards right, we can definitely go big. And soon! Just have some faith in me, okay? I just need you to have some patience.”
By March, the cold weather had passed in France. It was gradually getting warmer each day. With her laptop cradled in her arms, Scarlett rushed out of the classroom after a long lecture on the phonetics of Native American languages, like Dakota. It had been a fascinating lesson, but now Scarlett had to make haste and get to the restaurant. She had to design a couple of new vegans and gluten-free entrees along with Eve.She rushed down the staircase and took the tree-lined path. Flowers were in bloom already, although not in their full range of color just yet.All of a sudden, a little figure turned up not far away. He seemed to be wearing a white shirt and grey waistcoat and had a tall man standing next to him. They were looking at the fresh spring flowers along the pathway. As Scarlett walked closer to them, she burst into tears and screamed out in surprise, &
“Thank you, sir! I’ll definitely work on revisions and get them to you as soon as I can. I really appreciate you taking the time out to offer me such detailed feedback.”“Scarlett, are you really okay? I notice that you’ve looked at your watch about eight times in the past ten minutes.”Scarlett felt awkward and explained, “Well, my family came here to see me, so I want to go back to see them as soon as possible...”“Oh, that’s wonderful. Your parents must be so pleased.”Scarlett smiled, “Not my parents, it’s my son. He is just over a year old, a very smart little kid.”The professor was clearly surprised, but he did his best not to look at i
Francis kept kissing her, and Scarlett eventually gave in. She had been craving Francis’s body for a while, and here he was now. She decided it was futile to resist him. She wanted him, and there was nothing she could do in the face of her desire.With that, it was a long night of passion. It was as if they had never gotten a divorce. The two were hungry for each other, having been away from one another for many months.It was only in the wee hours of the morning that they concluded their lusty tryst. Scarlett was exhausted, and her hair was all messy. She stayed in bed without moving, staring at Francis intently.Francis brushed her hair back and gave her a kiss on the forehead, and said, “I have a gift for you, do you want it?”“No, I don&
Scarlett felt kind of assured and suddenly realized something and asked, “When did you see our business plan?”Francis just smiled, “Your partner sent it to me and asked me to take a look at it because it’s your first time writing a business plan.”“Traitor!” Scarlett gritted her teeth. She wanted to tear Eve apart.“It is great! You have done a good job! Especially for a couple of beginners.” Francis said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.Scarlett felt very ashamed in front of him; after all, her humble plan was hardly worth Francis’s time.***Once Scarlett and Eve prepared dinner, all four of t
