Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

As soon as I left the studio, I heard a female voice call my name.

"Scarlett, I didn't expect you to be so capable!"

I turned around and the person I found made my jaw drop.

Fiona, one of my colleagues, was walking toward me, her high heels clicking against the floor.

"Stop pretending to be innocent.You're having an affair with Rita's man.Poor Rita."

Fiona raised her voice by several notches.

She stood in front of me like a hungry lioness that was about to scratch my face off with her claws and then gut me.

She and I were just ordinary colleagues.

We were not friends or in good terms in any way.

Ever since we met, I had always felt like she hated me, and that feeling had been supported by her behavior toward me.

When she heard the rumors going around, she was one of the first people to mock me with them.

It was ridiculous that she and everybody else thought I was Charles's mistress.

"I'm not having an affair with anyone, Fiona.I'm not desperate, and I have some self-respect.I would never date a married man just so that I wouldn't be single,"

I retorted, holding my head high.

After that, I walked away.I had more important things to do than engage in pointless arguments with judgmental people.

Just as I was preparing for my next interview, Nina trotted over to me, her anxious voice filling my ears.

"Scarlett! Have you read the news?"

She waved her phone at me.

"They're saying that you stole Rita's husband! Oh, my God! I can't believe that woman is slandering you for publicity! It's such a desperate and pathetic move!"

Nina was so angry that I could see smoke coming out of her ears, but I had gotten used to it.

"I thought she was supposed to be critically ill.How does she have the energy to go around and make a scene all the time? Is she just pretending to be sick so that she can get attention?"

Nina surmised in a low voice.

Although I was a little stunned by her question, I just shook my head.

"She's sick, Nina.And if she wasn't, she wouldn't be able to hide it from Charles."

"Scarlett! Why do you trust Charles so much?"

Nina looked at me in disbelief.

"Because I know him well."

I had never doubted Charles's love for Rita.

"Well, I still think that Rita is hiding something.You should look into her.Just because you trust Charles doesn't mean you have to trust Rita, too."
