Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles' POV: 

I finished my work ahead of time, so that I could go to the TV station and wait for Scarlett.

Unexpectedly, William showed up in front of me.

From the looks of it, he had carefully picked out his attire.

He wore a suit and tie, a dandy wristwatch, and cufflinks that suited him well.

He also wore a pair of thin-frame glasses on, making him look even more debonair.

We immediately caught sight of each other, but neither of us turned our gazes away.

Suddenly, Scarlett came out, so I averted my eyes from William.I must admit that in her office attire, she had a completely different vibe.

She was sharply dressed and elegant to boot.Her charisma alone was enough to make anyone follow her with their gaze.I stared at her, fascinated by her beauty.

But to my surprise, she went straight to William.

William greeted Scarlett with a smile, and then he shot me a defiant glance.I was so angry that I grunted and glared at Scarlett before storming away.

But before I could enter my car, I heard a hurried set of footsteps in high heels.

'’Scarlett?’' I looked back, hoping that it was her, but I was disappointed to see that it was a woman I didn't know.

The woman was short of breath.

She was looking at me with a grin on her face.

"Mr.Moore, would you do me the honor of having a drink with you?"

"Pass."

My face turned grim the moment I saw her face and then I left without hesitation.

Seconds later, I slammed the door of my car shut.

The chauffeur was staring at me, visibly nervous.I leaned against the backseat, removing my tie in a fit of rage.

And then I told the chauffeur to take me to Mint Bar.

"Richard, figure out that woman's identity," I said, pointing at the woman outside.

Richard nodded in response and immediately made a phone call.

Soon, we received an email with an attached document.
