Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

I swore that I was not a person of weak will.

But when such a perfect man like Charles pouted and acted like a spoiled brat, I did not think any woman could refuse him.

So that I could leave as soon as I could, I promised him that I would finish dinner with him and then go meet Nina.

I was absentminded during the entire meal because I was not that hungry.

Also, Charles had been watching me and flashing me playful smiles, which made me uneasy.

I only felt relieved when dinner was finally done.

Charles kept his word and drove me to the bar.

However, after opening the car door for me and letting me out, he stood in my way.

"Scarlett, drinking is bad for your health, and it's easy to get into trouble when you've had too much of it.Don't drink more than three glasses of wine, and don't stay for more than half an hour inside.I'll wait for you here,"

Charles declared as he looked down at me.

I rolled my eyes and heaved a frustrated sigh.

"Charles, I'm an adult.I know how to conduct myself in a bar.I don't need you to tell me how much alcohol I should drink or how much time I should spend with my friend.Honestly, do you really see me as some girl who doesn't know her limits?"

My snapping apparently intimidated Charles.

He raised both his hands in surrender and stepped back.

"Very well.I'm sorry.I shouldn't have said so much.I'm just worried about you, okay?" he said.

I grabbed my purse, walked past him, and headed straight to the bar.

"Stay as long as you want.I'll wait for you here," he yelled after me.

I kept walking.

"Go home, Charles. I can take care of myself."

As soon as I entered the bar, I saw Nina waving at me.I smiled, walked over to her, and sat down.

"Hey, Nina.How did you know about this place? It's really nice and buzzing.I love the decoration."

"This is Spencer's new bar.I thought you knew about it.He told me I could swing by whenever I wanted and put my bill on his tab."

Nina put on a charming smile and flipped her curly hair.
