Scarlett's POV:
"What?!" I looked at Charles, appalled.
"I don't like your job," he replied curtly without even giving me an explanation.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked at me as though he were a king looking at his people.
"No!" I refused straightforwardly.
"How dare you oppose me?"
Charles narrowed his eyes and glared at me.He then slowly approached me, which sent chills down to my back.
I was frightened by the aura he was giving off that I took a few steps back.
Unfortunately for me, there happened to be a tree behind me.So when my back hit the tree trunk, there was nothing I could do but watch him walk closer to me.
To my surprise, Charles raised his hand and leaned against the tree trunk, cornering me.The atmosphere between us suddenly became ambiguous.Was this what people called 'Kabe-don?'
"Charles, we'll be divorced soon.You have no right to impose yourself on me." I could not help but clench my hands into fists, and anger rose in my heart.
Back then, I loved him wholeheartedly, but his mind was occupied with another woman.
Now, when I had agreed to do what they wanted, he started hitting on me.How ironic.What was this for? Charles must have noticed that I would not budge, so he sighed and offered, "If you want to work, I can arrange another job for you."
"No! I only like this job, this TV station," I refused with a determined look on my face.
"I'll buy it then and make you the boss."
"Charles, there's no need for you to do this.We'll be divorced soon." I was flabbergasted by his words.
"You really won't do as I say?"
"I will not, and there's nothing you can do to convince me otherwise." I turned around to leave.
Just as Charles opened his mouth to speak, Rita's voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Charles, are you two done talking? Mr.Todd has been waiting for a while now.It seems that he has to talk to Scarlett about work."
I was so absorbed in arguing with Charles that I jumped out when I heard Rita's voice all of a sudden.
Startled, I unconsciously threw myself into Charles's arms.
