Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV:

"Sorry, I don't know the Charles you're talking about. And I can't help you," I said and looked at Nancy. I refused her request without hesitation.

Nancy was stunned and didn't seem to understand what I meant.

"Drink some water first, Scarlett," Charles offered and smiled.

He handed me a glass of water and stared at me as if he didn't notice Nancy there, desperately begging for mercy.

"Charles, are you the man that Nancy mentioned just now?" I asked Charles deliberately in front of Nancy while taking the glass of water from him.

"No, I'm not. I have nothing to do with her," Charles denied immediately.

"Then who are you?" I asked Charles again.

"I'm your husband, Scarlett," Charles replied, holding my hand and looking at me affectionately.

I saw tears in Nancy's eyes as she stared at Charles in disbelief.

"How could you say something like that, Charles?"

"Who allowed you to call my name?" Charles snapped at Nancy.

Frightened by his cold eyes, Nancy's face turned pale, and she lowered her head in grievance.

"Nicholas, please get Nancy out of here. My wife needs to rest. I don't want anyone disturbing her," Charles urged Nicholas impatiently.

"Of course. Nancy, come on. Scarlett needs some rest," Nicholas said while flashing me an apologetic look. He gently took Nancy's arm, but Nancy didn't want to leave.

Unwilling to give up, Nancy shook off Nicholas' grip and addressed me once again.

"Please help me, Scarlett! I've been working hard all this time. You have no idea about the kind of hell I had to go through just to get where I am. I can't lose this job!" Nancy pleaded, practically kneeling by my bedside.
