Scarlett's POV:
Charles spent the night with me and went back the following day.
Every day, I video called Charles just to tell him how much I missed him.
A few days later, I suddenly received a photo from a colleague back in the country.
In the photo, Charles was drinking with a female star named Lily at a bar.
During our video call, Charles told me that he was busy, but it turned out that he was just fooling around with a female star.
In the afternoon, he gave me a call, but I didn't answer it.
Not long after, Nina came in with her phone in hand. She pointed at the screen and mouthed Charles' name.
I asked Nina to hang up.
However, Charles refused to give up. He called me over ten times in a row, so my heart softened. Once the call connected, I heard his worried voice.
"Is your phone out of power? Why weren't you answering your phone?"
I just pouted at him and said nothing.
"That photo was an accident. I swear, I didn't touch her at all!" Charles took the initiative to explain about the photo.
"Don't fool around with women while I'm not back at home. Otherwise, I'm not going to answer your calls ever again," I said angrily.
"I won't allow something like that to happen again," Charles answered with glee.
Charles' POV:
After I explained the photo to Scarlett, I found out that she was indeed jealous, but I was relieved to know that she eventually chose to trust me.
In the evening, Spencer and David asked me to meet them at the club.
Spencer approached me and smirked. "So, what happened, dude? Did you wife give you an earful?" he bantered.
"Scarlett trusts me," I said, casting him a cold glance.
"Oh, really now? Then why didn't she answer your calls even after you called her more than ten times? You were so anxious that you almost flew abroad overnight!" Spencer continued making fun of me.
This time, I glared at him. "You know, Spencer, nobody will think you're dumb if you don't speak." Spencer looked at me with curiosity. "While we're on the subject, do you really not know that woman?"
"You must really want to die, don'tyou, Spencer?" I said through gritted teeth.
Upon seeing how angry I was, Spencer finally clammed up.
"That Lily never really rose to fame for years. To be honest, I didn't expect she'd become so popular just after drinking with you," David said with a chuckle.
Right after he said that, a beautiful woman appeared at the entrance of the club. Upon seeing that it was Lily, I was immediately vigilant.
"Mr. Moore, what a coincidence to see you here!" Lily came over to greet me, but I pretended not to notice her.
"You're Lily, right? Come, have a seat with us." Spencer gestured for her to sit down. I cast him a glare but didn't utter a word.
"Do you two think that Lily and Scarlett kind of look alike?" Spencer asked, glancing at me and David.
"You know what? Their eyes do look similar," David commented.
"No, Scarlett's eyes are bigger. They're rounder and brighter than hers!" I said proudly.
