Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

"Rita is in the hospital." Charles obviously did not intend to open the door.

The doorbell rang again as if it would never stop unless the door was opened.

It seemed that the unexpected visitor was a stubborn person.

If it were not Rita, then who else could it be? Charles turned his head toward the door and frowned.

He seemed to already know who was standing outside.

"Okay.I'm not sticking around to find out who that is.I'm going to hide out somewhere." I stood up and tried to find a place to hide.

Even though Charles and I were only having breakfast and had not done anything that crossed the line, I still did not want to cause any trouble.

Charles looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes.

Then, he walked toward the door.

He strode over so fast that I was not able to hide.

"Hi, Charles."

The first thing Rita did after Charles opened the door was look over his shoulder into the living room.

She spotted me right away by the dining table.

 They were not married yet, but I was already regarding them as a couple, and I was the outsider who should not be in Charles's apartment at this time of day.

That was how I felt whenever I was around them.

Charles stood at the door as if he was blocking Rita's passage.

Rita said lightly, "Charles, why are you standing in my way like that? Are you hiding another woman in there that you don't want me to meet?"

"Only Scarlett is here,"

Charles said calmly and then moved aside to let Rita in.

Rita came in and asked me with a smile, "Hello, Scarlett.What are you doing here so early? Is there a problem?"

"Why don't you ask Charles?"

Rita was asking a question that she already knew the answer to, and I was not going to fall for it.
