Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

Rita was not welcome, so it was a big shock when she came in Charles’s ward. The instant she saw Charles lying on the bed, she ran to him and cried out, “Charles, what happened to you? Does it hurt?”

I rolled my eyes and complained in my heart, ‘Of course, it hurt. Why don’t you get yourself into an accident and see for yourself?’ But I must admit, Rita’s acting was getting better. I would have been convinced by her performance if I did not know her better.

“Oh my God! I can’t believe it! I wish I were the one who got into the car accident instead.” Tears streamed down Rita’s face as she spoke.

However, Charles seemed rather annoyed. He moved his hand away in disgust and said exasperatedly, “Rita, you’re so noisy. You’re giving a headache.” Rita was taken aback by what he had said. She opened her mouth to speak, but words stuck in her throat.

I did not want to stay here anymore because of her. With that, I turned around to leave. But before I walked out of the door, I turned to Charles and reminded him, “Don’t forget what I’ve asked you to do.”

I marched out of the room as soon as I said those words when, all of sudden, Rita stopped me. “Scarlett, aren’t you gonna say hello to me?”

She had always been arrogant to me. Like a rooster, she had endless energy and an unceasing fighting spirit. She would devote a significant amount of time just competing for men’s attention. How pathetic.

With a deadpan expression, I turned around and greeted her, “Good afternoon, Miss Lively. It’s nice to see you.”

I was like a robot. Not a hint of expression could be seen on my face. Without waiting for Rita’s response, I closed the door behind me. I was worried she would make trouble again, and I would not have the patience to stand her.

Meanwhile, Richard, Rita’s bodyguard, was smoking outside the door. He nodded at me when he saw me. He seemed to be troubled about something. He was bearded, and his hair was unkempt. Not only that, but he was also wearing a wrinkled suit. He looked as though he did not care about anything anymore.

Why did Richard seem troubled by girls? I was perplexed.

“Miss Riley, let me walk you out,” Richard offered.

As I was in a bad mood, I nodded and accepted his offer.
