Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 110: The Announcement

Scarlett’s POV: 

“How are you doing lately, Scarlett?” Nate came over and greeted me. 

“I’m good. And you? How’s business?” I replied, eyeing him carefully.

As soon as I finished my question, Nate’s face darkened. The change was so obvious that it almost made me chuckle.

Hearing this, Alice burst into laughter. Nate maintained the fake smile on his face despite the palpable awkwardness that suddenly descended.

“It’s not bad, thank you for asking,” Nate finally answered. I was about to say something else when somebody linked arms with me. 

“Thank you for helping me entertain the guests, Scarlett.” Rita flashed me her best toothy smile and gently patted my arm.

I knew that she was only acting chummy with me because she wanted to show everyone what a good person she was, which she was not. She might not be bright in aspects that matter, but she was cunning, and I respected that as much as I hated to admit it.

“It’s my pleasure,” I smiled back at her and slowly withdrew my arm.

“Everyone, let’s have a seat and chat.” Rita kept on her decent smile and greeted everyone as if she was running for local office.

I just stood there and watched her bend over backwards trying to keep everyone entertained.

Then, Charles walked up to me, snaked his arm around my waist, and ushered me toward his parents. The gesture looked so intimate that some heads turned to our direction.

“Where are your grandparents? Why aren’t they here yet? I’m a little worried about them. Maybe they’re having trouble finding the venue. Will you two step out and fetch them?” Alice said worriedly, glancing at the door. She looked restless and agitated.

“Okay, we’ll go get them. Don’t worry,” I said, patting the back of her hand. 

Then, Charles and I headed out to find Michael and Christine.

“Charles? Where are you going?” Rita asked, hurrying over to stand in our way.
