Bye, My Irresistible Love

Spencer's POV: 

David and I had been at the tennis courts for a long time when Charles and Scarlett finally arrived.

"Hey, buddy.It seems that you've been very busy lately.The only time I get to see you is when I turn on the news."

I patted Charles on the shoulder and winked and smiled at Scarlett.

Charles pulled me away immediately and scowled, "Don't you wink and smile at her like that."

"Jeez, Charles.Take it easy!"

I chuckled and raised my hands in feigned surrender.

Then, I pressed, "You're the one who's trying to set me up with Scarlett.Why do you get mad when I try to be nice to her? I don't know where to put myself around you, honestly."

Scarlett put on an embarrassed look.

Even when she was not smiling, she looked a hundred times cuter than Rita.

I still did not understand why Charles chose Rita over Scarlett.

We both knew that Scarlett was better.

"Quit being a smart mouth, Spencer.Save your energy for trying to beat me in the court later,"

Charles said in an unfriendly tone, casting a sidelong glance at me.

I shut up at his threat.

The tennis courts covered a large area and belonged to a five-star hotel.

The hotel was one of the many properties of the Moore family.

Charles and I used to play tennis here when we were still students.

"Scarlett will play against David.Spencer, you'll play against me," Charles ordered.

"But I want to play with Scarlett!"

I clamored beside Charles, dissatisfied with his arrangement.

However, since I just pissed him off by making beautiful eyes at his wife, I did not expect him to be considerate.

As expected, my pouting was useless.

Before I could make my case, Charles was already dragging me to our court.

We played several games.

My knees were already threatening to buckle while Charles did not even look like he was panting.

I forgot how he could be so competitive that playing a simple game with him could mean participating in a death march.

Like Charles, I did exercise regularly, but I was no match for him in tennis or in any competitive sports for that matter.
