Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 245

Charles's POV:

I held Scarlett tightly in my arms, pulling her close to me.

Suddenly, Scarlett's stomach rumbled and a loud sound filled the air around us.

I lowered my head to stare at her. Scarlett immediately buried her head in my arms, just like an ostrich, blushing hard.

"A-ahem! I came here in a hurry, so I haven't had lunch yet," Scarlett muttered, her head hanging low, cheeks red from embarrassment.

"Let's go." I reached out and caressed her belly affectionately. "Come to the staff canteen downstairs with me."

"I don't want to go to the staff canteen. Can we go somewhere else?"

The happy smile on Scarlett's face froze stiff at the mention the staff canteen. Her good mood quickly dropped and her spirits soured.

My heart instantly ached at the sudden change. It then occurred to me that in the past, Rita had made things difficult for Scarlett there several times.

Thus, the staff canteen was probably a place full of bad memories for Scarlett.

"What about Elegant Time? The western restaurant near the company?" I took Scarlett's hand, caressing it, and asked tentatively, "What do you think?"

Relief flashed across Scarlett's face and her mood soared. She nodded joyfully.

"Let's go now!"

But then, Scarlett stopped me.

"Charles, wait. What I just told you..."

"Don't worry, honey."

Right in front of her, I took out my phone and dialed Richard. The line soon connected. "Richard, I have a task for you. Investigate a girl named Jasmine. I'll sent you the details. I want all the information about her."

After hanging up, I looked at Scarlett with a smile. "Alright."

Scarlett nodded contentedly, satisfied, and held my arm sweetly.

"Let's go."

Before we entered the elevator, I told Amy to cancel all my appointments in the afternoon.

"What are you going to do this afternoon?"

"I'll keep you company."

Scarlett stared at me in disbelief and said, "But I have work to do this afternoon."

"Then I'll be with you in your office."

"Charles. If you keep doing this, I'm not going to have lunch with you!"

In a fit of anger, Scarlett spun on her heel defiantly and ran into the elevator.

It was rare for her to act like a spoiled little girl, but in all honesty, she was more charming whenever she did that.
