Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 6

Scarlett's POV:

Charles did not show up days after the Moore Group's anniversary party. I was busy preparing for the job interview at that time, so I did not notice his absence very much.

One day, Tiana and I arranged to meet after being away with each other for years. So now, I stood by the street, waiting for my dearest friend to come.

All of a sudden, a young woman with red hair ran from a distance. It was not until she got closer that I recognized who it was. It was Tiana. "Tiana, why is your hair dyed red?" I asked in disbelief. Tiana had always wanted to dye her hair red ever since she was in primary school. Now, she had finally done it. I was really surprised when I saw her. After all, her hair was still in its natural color the last time we had a video chat.

"Bitch, it's supposed to be a surprise! You didn't come home for three years to see your best friend. Of course, I had to do something to punish you."

The two of us were like sisters who had been separated for many years. We hugged each other and excitedly jumped in glee at the entrance of the cafe. Yes, we video chatted with each other often, but it still would not replace the joy of being with my friend in person. We could only hug each other in delight.

"Well, tell me everything. When will you move in with me? Oh, I know! I'll call other friends of ours. We can have a sleepover party!"

"I honestly have no idea, but it'll be soon."

Tiana led me into the cafe as we talked. We ordered two slices of tiramisu and enjoyed it while we continued our chat.

"Charles still wouldn't let you go? Haven't you heard? There are rumors about that bitch Rita spreading around recently."

"I don't care about them. When Charles and I divorce, I will have nothing to do with them anymore."

"That's great then. We can be roommates again soon."

Tiana and I had a great chat. We shared the same sentiments regarding the matter. No matter what happened, I knew that she would always be on my side. I was grateful to have such a friend with whom I could share my feelings without worries.

"Remember the job that I mentioned to you last time? Well, I told my boss about you and gave him your resume. He's pleased with you. In fact, he wants me to bring you to our company by all means, even if it means kidnapping you."

"You must be kidding me." I chuckled and took a bite of the cake.

"I'm not. Get ready to be a famous TV host! Let that man regret letting you go."

I went to Tiana's residence after spending almost the entire morning with her. She lent me a formal suit before I went to her company, Insight Media, for the job interview.

At that moment, Tiana patted me on the shoulder and smiled at me reassuringly. "Don't be nervous. You look perfect."

In the interview meeting room.

"Miss Scarlett Riley, why do you want to join my company? We've read your resume. Based on your qualifications, you could've applied somewhere better. Why here?"

the bald and kind interviewer asked with a smile.

"Presenting the audience what they are interested in is the real reason why I chose this field. The role of the media is to open the eyes of the public and make them see the reality, not deceive them. I believe that Insight Media has the courage to speak the truth and take responsibility for it."

The interviewer looked through my resume again and asked a few more questions. He then whispered a few words to the interviewer next to him. I looked at him anxiously when he finally turned to face me.

"Congratulations, Miss Riley. Welcome to Insight Media."

As soon as I walked out of the building, I called Tiana and told her the good news.

I then booked an Uber and returned to Garden Street.

I did not bring a lot here. In fact, I only brought one suitcase. Maybe I could pack and move out today.

When I got home, I found Charles's car in the driveway, and the lights in the villa were on. He must be home.

This was a perfect opportunity to clear things up once and for all.

I pushed the door opened, and my eyes widened in shock at what I saw. Charles was lying on the sofa and clutching his stomach with a pained look on his face.

When he looked at me, he was not cold and indifferent as usual. Instead, he stretched out his hand to me as if grasping the last life-saving straw. He looked vulnerable and in pain.

"What... what's wrong with you?" I asked, flabbergasted.

"My stomach... hurts... so bad..." he replied in a strained manner.

I rushed to the medicine drawer at once and took a pill for his stomachache. I had known that Charles's stomach hurt sometimes. I then poured him a glass of water to help him take medicine faster.

To my surprise, he opened his mouth to me like a bird waiting to be fed.

Did he want me to feed him? Three years ago... Didn't he ask me to keep a distance from him?

"Give me your hand," I cautiously said. I did not want him to resent me again.

Without waiting for his response, I put the pill in his hand and handed him the glass of water.

Charles took the medicine. Then, with his eyes closed, he leaned back on the sofa, grabbed a pillow, and hugged it.
