Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett‘s POV: 

I flashed Charles a grin and held Simon‘s hand tighter. 

Simon reached his hand out to Charles and said, “Ah, Mr. Moore. I‘m Simon Felix. It‘s a pleasure to meet you.” 

Charles kept his eyes locked on me, completely ignoring Simon. 

“Caroline, answer me. Who is this man?” He made no attempt to hide his jealousy. Just as I was about to speak, Raina chimed in.

“My, my... You‘ve already hooked up with another man so soon? You just can‘t live without a man, can you?” The way she spoke was dripping with sarcasm. Simon and Charles both frowned at her remarks.

“Excuse me, Miss. Which family are you from? Why are you so ill–bred?” asked Simon. Raina was stunned. She looked at him with disbelief.

 “I‘m Raina Hill. Haven‘t you ever heard of me before?” 

“Are you important or something?” Simon asked, sounding confused. I almost burst into laughter. My blind date was hilarious. 

Raina clicked her tongue. She was rendered speechless.

“Simon Felix, right? I must remind you to stay away from that woman beside you. There are things that you don‘t know. She‘s a bane to anyone who gets close to her. Everyone who ever has the misfortune of getting close to her suffers horrible fates,” Raina said fiercely. 

Meanwhile, I was just watching her humiliate herself. In my eyes, she was no better than a barking dog. Her words meant little to me, and they could no longer hurt me. But since she was talking shit about me, I should teach her a lesson.

 “Miss Hill, I can‘t help but notice that you care too much about me. Whether I attend the event or not and whoever I attend the event with is none of your concern. Don‘t you think you‘re being too nosy? What gives you the right to tell me what to do?” I shouted at Raina, giving her no chance to respond.
