Charles’ POV:
Not long after Scarlett left, one of our business partners contacted me and told me that he wanted to have lunch with me to discuss about our companies' cooperation.
I deliberately chose a restaurant near the Wilson Group.
During lunch, the business partner kept talking, but I was lost in thought as I kept looking at the Wilson Group from time to time.
I just wanted to see Scarlett one more time.
When she appeared at the entrance of the Wilson Group, I felt like my prayers had reached God's ears.
However, to my surprise, she was with Simon.
Why was he always pestering her?
I saw them making their way towards the dining room, laughing and talking like good friends.
Jealousy surged in my heart like a tide and I almost ended up bending the steel fork in my hand.
"Mr. Moore, what happened?" my business partner asked.
"I'm sorry. Can you stay here for a while? I'll be back soon."
Although my words surprised him, he said with a smile, "Sure thing. Please go ahead."
Hearing that, I picked up my coat and hurried out.
At that moment, I saw Scarlett and Simon sitting down. I felt like a stalker who was quietly observing them from the vicinity.
Simon was talking to her, and for some reason, his words made her smile too frequently.
He suddenly reached out and was about to touch her hair. I was shocked when I saw that she stayed still and did not dodge him.
'Damn it!'
As jealousy took over my mind and my heart, I could not help but walk over to them.
"Caroline, what are you doing here?" I greeted them with a gloomy expression.
"Charles, what a coincidence! I'm on a date with her. Are you also having lunch here?" Simon asked provocatively.
'A date?'
I clenched my fists silently as I resisted my urge to punch him in the face.
"Ma'am, your char-grilled steak is ready. Please enjoy."
The waiter placed a plate of steak in front of Scarlett, and I noticed there were a few slices of onions on it.
With a frown, I stared at the plate and moved it away from her.
"Sir?" The waiter looked at me in surprise.
I grabbed the fork from Scarlett's hand and picked out the onion from her plate.
"Charles, what are you doing?" Simon said with a frown.
"What? Don't you know that Caroline is allergic to onions?"
Stunned, he looked at Scarlett, and I lowered my head, staring at her as though I was waiting for her answer.
She glared at me before she looked at Simon with an apologetic smile and said, "I forgot to tell you that I am allergic to onions."
"It looks like you're not a very good date. You didn't even know that your date was allergic to onions!" I sneered.
"Thanks for the tip. I will be more careful next time," Simon retorted.
'What? Next time? Was he planning on going on another date with my Scarlett?'
The atmosphere became tense as Simon and I stared at each other in silence.
"That's enough, Charles. I don't want to see you, so please leave."
With a cold look in her eyes, Scarlett motioned for me to leave.
I could deal with my rival in love, but I did not know how to deal with the woman I was in love with.
I was not ready to give up on her so easily.
She could only be mine.
Ignoring her coldness, I sat down next to her and looked at her lovingly.
