Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 256

Scarlett's POV:

I yawned.

"It's late now. Why don't you take a shower and go to bed?" A shadow of a smile appeared on Charles's handsome face, his eyes turning sharp. "Okay. Goodbye now." I beamed and poked his face on the screen. "All right then. Let's hang up the video call."

But Charles remained on the line.

I raised my eyebrows at him. "What? Do you want to watch me take a shower?"

"That's an incredibly tempting offer."

"Oh, you wish!" I glared at him and, from his background, found that he was still out and about. "Go back to work."

"Don't stay up late, okay? Good night." After saying that, Charles's face gradually enlarged on the screen, and then the screen went dark. He planted a kiss on the camera, and I could not help grinning.

"Good night."

After hanging up our video call, I picked up my clothes and went to the bathroom. Then, my phone beeped. It was a message from Charles.

"I miss you so much," his text read.

I slept soundly the entire night.

Charles insisted that Richard accompanied me to my business trip to France. He told me that he was worried about my safety, and I did not want to fight him about it, so I just agreed.

"Scarlett, do you want to have meals with your colleagues or have a table of your own?" Tracy asked.

I thought for a while and smiled. "I want to eat with my colleagues. But I think I'm going to attract too much attention if I bring all you three with me. You accompany me, Tracy."

Janet frowned. "But what about me? I want to accompany you, too."

"Well, you can go with Richard and find a table of your own, someplace near ours. That way, you can still keep an eye on me. Besides, Tracy likes one of my colleagues. I would like to introduce them." I turned around to look at Tracy who flashed me a confused look. I took her hand and pulled her aside.

Tracy whispered in my ear. "Scarlett, I don't remember liking one of your colleagues. Care to fill me in on what's happening?"

"Just go with it. I'll explain later." I winked at her.

I wanted Tracy to accompany me because I had noticed some subtle tension between Janet and Richard. I wanted them to spend some time alone together.

Charles's POV:

When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I saw was Scarlett's good morning text. I let it fill my heart with so much joy that I started smiling like a daydreaming idiot.

When I arrived at the office, everyone stared at me like they were witnessing a miracle. I did not care. All I knew was that I was ecstatic.

Amy immediately followed me the moment I entered my office. "Sir, Rita has been waiting for you downstairs. She wants to see you."

When I heard Rita's name, the happy smile on my face died. "Tell her to go home. I'm busy."

Amy nodded and hurriedly left.

I stood in front of the big French windows in my office, picked up my phone, and called Roy. "How's it going?"

Roy cleared his throat. "I've found a loophole in the Lively Group for Lily's people. They're taking action. It won't be long before the Lively Group is destroyed."
