Scarlett's POV:
"Thank you, Grandma." After Christine put on the ring for me, I was moved.
"You're a good girl, Scarlett. You should head off to work now!" she said.
"Okay, Grandma. See you tonight!"
When I got downstairs, I found that Charles was still sitting at the table.
"Janet is a little busy today, so I'll drive you to work instead. Don't refuse my offer, or else I'll follow you every day from now on!" Charles ' childish behavior had rendered me speechless.
I decided to ignore him and just went straight to the car to open the door.
Charles grabbed my hand and stared at the ring.
"Did Grandma give you that?" he asked.
"Yeah." As I spoke, I shook off his hand.
"If you like it, go ahead and wear it. That ring is the heirloom of the Moore family." Charles got in the driver's seat and started the engine.
"Grandma gave me this, so of course, I'll wear it!" I shot him a cold glance, looking smug. "You don't even have one!"
"What's yours is mine," he said. With a smile on his face, Charles stepped on the accelerator, causing the car to speed away like an arrow out of a bowstring.
The moment we arrived at the entrance of the TV station, I noticed a tall man standing at the door from a distance.
It was William.
I waved at him and smiled.
"Why are you so happy to see him?" asked Charles, seemingly annoyed.
"Stop speculating. William and I have work to talk about." After getting off the car, I slammed the door behind me.
But before I could fully walk away, Charles grabbed my hand. When I turned around, I saw him looking at me with knitted brows.
I tried to break free from his grasp, but he was too strong that I couldn't even make him budge. Thus, I decided to stop struggling.
"Scarlett, it doesn't matter if you've lost the wedding ring. I've already asked someone to make a new pair. For the time being, you can wear the ring that Grandma gave you. But once your new ring is ready, you'll have to wear that one." While Charles was speaking, I noticed that he seemed to be looking at somewhere behind me.
Curious by the reason, I turned around and saw William standing behind me.
'Did Charles say that to me in front of William on purpose? How could he be so childish?' I exclaimed inwardly.
"Scarlett, I'll be waiting for you inside." William flashed me a smile before he turned around and left.
"Well, he's gone now, so you can drop the act." I withdrew my hand right away.
"I'm not pretending or anything. I really am jealous. You've become a producer now. Why is the first person you're introducing in your show William, and not me?" said Charles.
At this point, I didn't know what to tell him.
"I hate it when other men try to get close to you. It makes me feel jealous, and I feel like I'll go insane. So, please, Scarlett, just stay away from him, okay?" he continued.
'What's the matter with him today? He's being so unreasonable!'
"This is my job. My relationship with William is strictly professional," I explained patiently.
"Really, now? In that case, let me pick you up after work." At last, a smile appeared on Charles ' lips.
I wanted to tell him no, but he had already driven away before I had the chance.
