Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV: 

The next few nights, I went to the hotel after work to prepare for Grandpa’s birthday party. With Charles there, I did not actually need to do anything as he would arrange everything on his own. 

However, I still needed to confirm the process and the details.

As soon as I walked out of the office that evening, I saw the driver waiting outside the TV station as usual. But then, I saw that Charles was not in the car. And just when I was about to ask the driver about it, I got a call from Charles.

“Honey, I got tied up in a long meeting, so I won’t be able to make it tonight.”

Upon hearing the background noise on his end, I realized that he was in a room full of people who were arguing. It did not take me long to figure out that he must have called me from the conference room. But then, of late, he had been calling me endearingly regardless of where he was.

“Okay. I’m in the car. And I am on my way to the hotel now.”

“Don’t worry, honey. Mom will help you out.” 

“It’s alright. Don’t bother her. I can handle this by myself,” I said in a hurry. 

Alice had entrusted Charles and I to plan the party. I did not want others to think that I was too dependent on Charles, or that I could not do it without his help.

“I don’t want you to tire yourself too much. It’s not worth it. Besides, Mom wants to see the progress of our preparations.”

“All right, then. You carry on with your work.”

The hotel that was owned by the Moore group was where the party was decided to be held. Although it was a weekday, it was still quite crowded. Perhaps, it was because I did not pray before I stepped out my house that morning that I stumbled upon someone that I was not looking forward to meeting as soon as I entered the lobby. I turned around and was about to take another elevator, but it was too late.

“Scarlett.” 

A familiar voice called out to me from behind.

Feeling the surging pain in my head, I tried to close my eyes. Rita really was everywhere. Couldn’t she just leave me alone for a few days? I turned around and noticed her walking elegantly towards me in her high-heels. 

She was wearing a red mermaid dress with thin spaghetti straps hanging on her shoulders, which exposed her cleavage a little. I was afraid that her breasts might break free from her tight dress if she took another step forward.

“What’s the matter?” I asked coldly.
