Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

I got up early.

The door of the guest room was closed, so I guessed that Charles had not gotten up yet.

I took some bread and eggs out of the fridge and made breakfast for us.

After finishing my meal, I left Charles's on the table.

Charles's apartment was located in the heart of the business district, surrounded by skyscrapers and many establishments.

The location of his home was ideal.

The only disadvantage was the traffic jam.

I had to leave his place early if I wanted to make it to work on time.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I was as busy as a bee.I was thankful for all the work because it allowed me to forget about Charles.

At noon, Abner walked up to me and handed me a cup of coffee.

"I have good news, Scarlett.The company will choose two employees to send abroad to study.If you're interested, I can talk you up."

"Really? But how long will I be away if I'm picked?"

"A year."

Abner paused and then continued, "This is an amazing opportunity.You could learn many things that would help advance your career.I really hope you seize it."

I was a little hesitant.

A lot could change in a year.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"I suppose Charles is the main reason for your hesitation."

Once again, Abner hit the nail on the head.

I averted my gaze and took a sip of my coffee.

"No, I'm just worried about my family."

"Onlookers see more clearly.I know you're indecisive because you can't let go of some things, but I sincerely hope that this time around, you'll put yourself first."

After that, Abner left.Abner was a very rational man.And he was right.

When it came to Charles, I still deceived myself.As soon as Abner left, Linda walked over to me.

She took my hand, pulled me into an empty meeting room, and shut the door.

"What happened to Charles and Rita's father last night?" she asked curiously.

I thought for a while and then told her that 1! did not know.

There was no need to explain that matter to outsiders.

It was simply one of the things that were better left unsaid.
