Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

I could hear Rita's coquettish voice even from the kitchen.

"How can you let an anchorwoman cook, Charles?" she teased.

She might be using a gentle voice, but she was still enjoying finding fault in me.

"Scarlett was willing to cook, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with that," Charles replied calmly.

He sat on the sofa and paged through the magazine in his hand.

Uninterested in their conversation, I just kept my head down and concentrated on cooking.

However, Rita was unwilling to be ignored.

She sat down next to Charles and chatted with David and Spencer.

I glanced at her and saw the face of her father, a man who would be forever etched in my memory.

No woman would ever forget the man who once asked her to be his mistress.

I was still upset about that encounter as if it just happened yesterday.I walked out of the kitchen.I decided I would continue cooking after Rita was done making a scene here.

"Where are you going, Scarlett?"

Charles put down the magazine and stood up when he saw me leaving.

I was about to tell him that I was just stepping out for some fresh air, but then Rita put her hand over her chest and collapsed on the floor.

I did not buy her act the moment I saw it.

The timing was suspiciously impeccable, the damsel in distress dramatically falling in front of the hero.I almost rolled my eyes.

My eyes darted to Charles.

He was immediately beside Rita and asking her if she was okay.

"Rita? Rita!"

Charles called her name several times, but Rita closed her eyes and did not respond.

"Scarlett, give me my phone.I need to call the doctor," Charles snapped.

I went to get his phone and handed it to him.

He was now holding the unconscious Rita in his arms.

Charles called a doctor named Addison as he carried Rita out of the apartment.
