Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

When I woke up, Charles was already gone, but he made breakfast for me and left it on the table.

He seemed to be distracted by something last night, which worried me a little.

Before I could get sucked into the Charles rabbit hole again, I knocked myself over the head.

I had more important things to think about than him.

Los Angeles was always buzzing with life, especially in the mornings.

Traffic was extra terrible today, and it actually took half an hour longer for me to reach the office.

"Scarlett, sweetie, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

As soon as I entered the office, Nina walked over and gave me a big hug.

She was wearing a red business suit today, and her hair was neatly rolled up behind her head.She looked bright and stunning.

"Yes, thank you.I just needed a ton of sleep," I replied and put down my bag in the lounge.

I went to get myself a cup of coffee.

Nina followed suit.

"My dad's home by the way.Would you like to have dinner this weekend at my house? We can talk about your divorce plans,"

Nina cut to the chase.Her father was a famous lawyer in Los Angeles.

Last time, I asked her to ask her father to help me sue for divorce.I did not expect that things would go so fast.

But I supposed I was thankful for the timing.

Charles intended to keep me hanging, and I certainly did not want to still be married to him when Rita's baby was born.

So I accepted Nina's invitation readily.

Charles did not want to go about things the peaceful way.He left me no choice.

"Wow.That was quick."

Nina was a little surprised.

"It's already long overdue.I want it to be over before I leave Los Angeles."

"Leave Los Angeles? Scarlett, are you sure you don't want to stay? I mean, you have a stable job here now, and things are going great for you," Nina asked.

I shook my head and handed her the cup of coffee I made for her.

"I have too many bad memories here.I don't think I can start over here.I need a change of scenery and soon."

Hearing my response, Nina did not say anything more.

We shook on our dinner date this weekend and then went our separate ways to work.
