Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

Charles's lips brushed my fingers in a soft kiss, before pulling away slowly.Then, he stood up to look affectionately at me, his eyes filled with love and warmth.

"I've taken off my ring once, and you've also taken off yours once.Now, we're even." I felt helpless, but I couldn't say anything to retort.

Left with no choice, I pushed him to the door disgruntledly.

"Go to your company now.You have work to do, Mr.Moore!"

Charles let go of my hand obediently.

He gave me another kiss to bid me farewell, and soon left.

I watched his receding figure, my sight gradually blurring after a while.

"I really… can't escape from you."

I turned my sights to the ring on my finger.

Without realizing it, tear drops fell from my eyes and on the ring.

After lunch, Charles's grandmother and mother came back, their hands laden with a lot of bags.

Obviously, they had gone on a terrific shopping spree.

Janet and Tracy also returned with James.

It was obvious who had sent all of them away at the same time.

Later that afternoon, Janet drove me to the TV station.

"Scarlett?"

I looked up to see the person who had called for me, and discovered it was none other than Linda.

She had a high position, and her words held sway over the entire TV station.

We barely had any interactions with each other, especially in recent times.

I found it a little strange for her to come to me so suddenly "Hey, Linda.What's up?"

Linda sighed sadly and looked at me, guilt written all over her face.

"I heard that Lucia did something terrible and offended you yesterday.I'd like to apologize on her behalf.I'll ask her to apologize to you in person when I see her later."

That left me confused.

As soon as Linda left, Nina's voice rang next to me.

"Why did Linda come here all of a sudden? Is she making trouble for you?"

"Say, Nina.Does Linda have anything to do with Lucia?"

"What, you don't know? Lucia's her niece."

Nina furrowed her brows with righteous indignation.

"Was she here to back Lucia up? How dare she!"

"No, no.Actually, she was here to apologize for Lucia,"
