The second day afternoon. D*mn it! Scarlet frowned as she opened her eyes as she cursed in her heart, ‘Animal!’ …Keanu was out of the room and she seized the moment to grab her dress before she snuck into the bathroom. When the bathtub was almost full, Scarlet put a drop of essential oil in it and then started to curse Keanu in her heart again. Half an hour later, she felt a lot better after a hot bath. When she came out, she saw her man appear in the room with an energetic look. She stopped and blushed unnaturally. “Do you want to have lunch here or downstairs?” he asked. “I’ll go down.” She glared at him as she clenched her teeth. It was his fault that she woke up at lunch time! “Let’s go.” He curled his arm around her waist and left the room. “I’m telling you if someone asked why did I wake up so late, you better don’t say anything stupid. I’ll tell them that I slept late because I played games on my phone, do you understand?” Scarlet elbowed Keanu’s wais
Scarlet’s doe-like eyes were blinking as she said with a guilty conscience, “It’s really nothing.” Mrs. Richards’ words made her blush so hard that she wanted to bury herself in a hole. How could she tell Keanu what his mother had said to her? Especially after forcing him to drink the soup earlier during lunch. “Is Mother asking you to prepare the soup again?” Keanu asked. “Huh? No, I told you I’ll be more careful, I won’t prepare that kind of soup for you anymore. Just stop asking.” Scarlet was caught off guard by his question. Her face was as red as an apple as Keanu tried to raise the embarrassing question again. Keanu tightened his lips as he stared at her in silence. Something was brewing inside his mind. On that night, after Scarlet came out from her bath, she saw Keanu sitting on the couch in the bedroom. She was slightly shocked by his presence and she instinctively slowed down her pace. “Y-You have no work tonight?” she asked carefully. In the past, he was afra
When Scarlet arrived at the office, she saw Keira but she did not know how to face her because of what had happened in the hospital and the warnings from the madam. However, Keira was big-hearted enough to greet Scarlet and since the students were having classes, Keira invited Scarlet to one of the coffee shops within the school. After the waiter had served the coffee and some pastries, Keira picked up the spoon and started stirring her cup. She smiled and said elegantly, “Ms. Jones, I’m a little emotional the other day because something happened to my grandfather. My words were a little harsh, so I hope you won’t mind what I said. “My mother worked with my father in Jones Corporation for more than a decade now. It’s only natural for her to be furious when she heard Grandfather wanted to give a ton of shares to an outsider without notice. I thank you for your understanding and rejected my grandfather’s offer. If you don’t mind, we still can be good colleagues in the future.”
Scarlet noticed the look on Keanu’s face and he looked like he was drinking poison. It was obvious that he did not like the soup yet he forced himself to drink it. Her heart felt heavy at the thought of it but it was not appropriate for her to say it out loud in front of an audience. She sat down and ate her lunch in silence but everything was tasteless with the uneasy feeling in her. After lunch, Keanu drove her to the school for work. The two of them kept quiet along the way. In the end, Scarlet broke the silence by saying in a heavy tone, “I think I’m never going to prepare soup anymore.” She did not feel happy when she saw him reluctantly drink the soup as her heart ached as if it was stung by a needle. “Do you know what ingredients were in that soup?” Keanu’s eyes were fixed on the road as he drove the car steadily. “Mother told the chef to prepare them for me and I don’t know most of them,” said Scarlet in a less confident tone as she lowered her head. He was Casey’
The Richards dining area. Casey, who was having breakfast, heard footsteps. She looked up and saw the two walking down side by side. Scarlet looked happy and energetic with a smile on her. On the other hand, her own son looked as cold as usual but there was a hint of dark circles under his eyes, making him look rather tired. She immediately remembered what her younger son told her about the second master’s weak health. She could not help but frown and she started to wonder whether it was because of the injury that had caused the tiredness. “Scarlet, how’s your sleep last night? Did you get used to the bed?” Casey offered her concerns. “Thank you, Mother. I had a good sleep last night,” said Scarlet. Since Scarlet was not looking awkward or uncomfortable, Casey took it as a sign to verify her speculations. She added with a smile. “I’m glad that you had a good sleep. I’m worried that you aren’t used to the new environment. I heard that you don’t have any class this morning, s
“No, no no, tell me!” Scarlet noticed Keanu stood up from the couch and wanted to leave. She jumped off the bed and latched on his arm, saying, “I’ll never doubt you again and I’ll never interrupt you.” Like her or not? It was just a simple answer that would take him a few seconds yet he spent an entire night studying the results on the Internet. His effort was proof that he treated her question seriously and he wanted to answer her feelings with all his heart. He turned around and stared at her pinkish and petite face, looking like she wanted to be pampered. Her eyes were glimmering like stars in the sky. No one could get mad at her when she put on such a look. “Keanu, did I tell you that your arrogant and serious look was extremely powerful? And your serious face looked even more handsome than usual. Your voice is melodious, it’s heavy and steady, it sounded like the best cello which lingered in the air for hours. It tasted like the most fragrant red wine…” She knew her dis
