Scarlett found it strange that Luna had brought up Candace in the middle of their conversation. Although it seemed as though she was trying to put in a good word for Candace, the way that she said it was odd. Scarlett couldn't help but feel as though Luna was trying to tell her something, but she couldn't figure out exactly what. In the end, she shook off her suspicions and simply nodded in agreement. After all, Luna was Candace's assistant, so it shouldn't be odd that she was trying to paint her superior in a good light."I'll make sure to look for you if I encounter any problems with work. I'll be returning to my station now," Scarlett told Luna, while the latter nodded. As Scarlett was leaving, she brushed past Luna and heard her whisper under her breath, "Watch out for Candace."Candace watched as Scarlett left the 21st floor and only relaxed after she was sure that the latter had left. Now that Scarlett was gone, she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and she

Judging by the bright smile that Lucille was flashing Scarlett, any passerby would probably think that they were childhood friends. Scarlett hated it when Lucille was fake like this and said coolly, "I'm busy today. Go find someone else to have dinner with you."Lucille had fully expected Scarlett to reject her. Despite her annoyance, she suppressed her feelings and replied cheerfully, "Scar, we've lived together for four years now. Don't be mean; come have dinner with me. I really want to make things right between the two of us. Besides, even if you don't say yes to me now, I'll wait outside your office every single day until you forgive me."Scarlett had never expected that there would ever come a day when Lucille would swallow her pride and speak to her so nicely. That, paired with Scarlett's inability to refuse anyone who asked her for something nicely, prevented her from outright rejecting Lucille, no matter how much she hated her guts.Besides, Lucille had already said that if

Scarlett had completely lost her appetite at this point and put her fork down on the table. Her head was a mess as she contemplated her next course of action at this point. Of course, she could just reject Lucille's suggestion, but she didn't have a good reason to. Lucille had a point in that the two of them simply couldn't finish all this food on their own. Besides, she wasn't the one paying, so she couldn't just say no.Scarlett had already accepted Lucille's offer of dinner, so of course it meant that she had to be nice to her. There seemed to be no way out of this situation, and she cursed her soft heart for agreeing to it. If she'd just steeled her resolve and said no to Lucille and dinner, she wouldn't be in this situation right now.Lucille was delighted at Scarlett's silence and didn't even bother to wait for her reply before pulling her phone out to call Zachary.Scarlett had no other choice and could only sigh as she sank back into her chair. Since Lucille's plan was alrea

Christopher let out a mocking chuckle at that and said sarcastically, "Can she only talk to you and no one else? Besides, we're in a public area, so she can talk to whoever she wants to. Or did you buy this entire street so that no one but you could stand on it? Can't you see that she clearly doesn't want to talk to you? If you really want to find someone to talk to, I suggest you get a job at the radio show so you can talk to your heart's content."Zachary opened his mouth to snap back at him, but Christopher didn't even give him a chance to do so. Christopher reached out an arm to pull Scarlett into his embrace and said solemnly, "Scar is my girlfriend, so stay away from her."Scarlett looked at him in confusion at that. Just as she was wondering if she should say something in response, she heard him whisper in her ear, "Let's get rid of him first."Scarlett immediately understood what Christopher was trying to do and stayed silent. Yet that one sentence had made her heart flutter

Christopher was the president of Zart Enterprise, and though he was young, he was well respected by others. Five years ago, he'd taken over the company from his father after he returned from his studies in Amerstica. The first thing he'd done was get rid of all the non-progressive employees and come up with an entirely new business model. He'd completely revamped Zart Enterprise, and his efforts paid off as the new and improved company continued to expand under his leadership.The company that Scarlett's friend, Isabelle, was working at right now was falling into financial ruin. To be honest, Scarlet couldn't care less if that company shut down. However, Isabelle had begged Scarlett to help her with her plan to save the company because the owner, Charles Levi, had helped her in the past. If it hadn't been for Charles, Isabelle probably would've had to quit her studies halfway through.In the past week, the office that Isabelle was working at was surrounded by a cloud of gloom. Most o
