Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 109: The Birthday Party

Scarlett’s POV:

As I walked out of the gate of the company, I saw Charles’s car parked on the side of the road. I debated whether or not to go to him. But in the end, I decided to go to him. We were not on speaking terms these past few days. But since he was here, I might as well talk to him. That reminded me I could mock at him now that he was the one who conceded first and came to me.

A man got out of the car while I was making my way to it. To my surprise, it was not Charles, but Spencer. I could not hide my disappointment. I thought Charles had come for me.

“Spencer, why are you here?” I asked while walking towards him.

“Charles is busy right now. He couldn’t come here, so he asked me to pick you up.” 

As soon as Spencer finished speaking, a makeup artist got out of the car with an exquisite dress in her hand.

I had no choice but to dress up. If I resisted, Spencer would mention Michael and guilt-trip me. There was nothing I could do but sit there and let them doll me up. 

For some reason, I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. It was as if something bad would happen, but I had no idea what it was.

We left for the hotel after they got me ready. There I saw Alice and the others greeting the guests by the entrance. The whole hotel had been cleared since yesterday. Those who were not invited to the party were allowed to check in. Everyone here was rich and powerful. 

The parking lot outside seemed more like a showroom because of the luxury cars that were parked there. “Scarlett, my dear, come!” Alice greeted enthusiastically. She seemed elated to see me.

“Go ahead.” Spencer lifted the train of my gown as I walked up to Alice.

“Darling, you look stunning!” Alice remarked with a smile. She then held my hand and led me to Charles. “You stay with Charles first.”

I nodded obediently stood beside him without a word. Although I felt a little helpless about Alice’s arrangement, it was Michael’s birthday. I did not want anyone to be disappointed because of me.
