Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 152: Scheme           

Scarlett’s POV:

After a vigorous and wild sex, we lay in bed, enjoying the intimate moment.

“Did Rita bribe the person who conducted the test?” I nestled in Charles’ embrace and fiddled with his fingers.

“She did,” he replied nonchalantly as he twirled my hair with his fingers.

“What a cheater!” I grunted. 

“But, how did you know that the laboratory staff had been bought off?” I asked.

“Well, just to be sure, I divided the water test into two parts at the beginning and sent them to different testing agents,” Charles explained. 

Upon hearing his explanation, my eyes lit up as I looked at him with excitement. But shortly afterwards, I felt upset. “That’s a big thing! How could you keep that from me?”

After I said that, I was about to get up, but Charles held me tightly within his arms.

“I do regret that I didn’t tell you about it sooner, and it caused you to overthink.” 

Having said that, Charles glanced at my belly, seemingly annoyed. 

“If you dare hide something this big from me again, don’t ever expect me to forgive you!”

“Charles Moore, I’ll have you know that men and women are equal. If you want me to be honest with you, you have to do the same.”

“Deal!”

At the moment, my heart was filled with happiness.

The following morning, I met Rita as soon as I arrived at the company.

“You’re really something, Scarlett. You managed to force me out of the entertainment industry. And now, I have to settle for the second best option and be your colleague in the TV station.” Rita eyed me up and down, casting hateful words at me with sarcasm. 

“I’m not as capable as you are. Killing isn’t even hard for you,” I countered, scoffing at her.

“The stock price of the Lively Group has been plummeting for the entire week,” Rita grunted, clenching her fists.
