Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

As I woke up, I stretched my arms and rubbed the sleep off my eyes.

Just like I always did the moment I woke up, I took my phone from the bedside table and checked the time.

However, what I saw unexpectedly jolted me awake.

"Famous actress Rita Lively and the CEO of the Moore Group are getting married!" the headline of the news read.

I had mixed feelings.I had no idea how many people had already seen the news.I could not help but think that I might be the last one to know about this.

While I was in a deep thought, Nina suddenly called.

"Scarlett, have you seen the news?! Charles is going to marry Rita! It's ridiculous! A few days ago, he acted as if he loved you with all his heart.But now, news of him marrying someone else is trending on the Internet.He's so confusing!"

Nina went straight to the point as soon as I answered the call.

"That's what I've been telling you, Nina," I replied calmly as though the news did not affect me in any way.

"Oh my God! I can't believe it!"

Nina sounded so disgruntled by the news.

At that moment, I felt something move under the quilt.It startled me and made me hang up the call in fright.

I took a deep breath and looked at the quilt.

It was arched, and it seemed that a person was underneath ft.

My heart pounded in my chest.

I slowly approached the quilt, and my eyes widened in surprise when I saw Charles's face under it.

He was fast asleep next to me.

His angular face was like a sculpture sharp and well-defined.

His unkempt hair made him look a little wild and carefree, unlike his usual demeanor, which was reserved and astute.

My eyes trailed from his face down to his body.

I could not help but swallow hard as I gazed at his well-toned deltoids and abs.

It was not until then that I remembered that Charles had come over last night, drunk as a skunk.

Unlike when he was sober, he acted all childish and annoying last night.

I stared at him, lost in thought.

For some reason, I could not take my eyes off him.

Charles must have sensed my burning gaze as he slowly opened his eyes after a moment.
