Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 66

Scarlett's POV:

I got up early. The door of the guest room was closed, so I guessed that Charles had not gotten up yet.

I took some bread and eggs out of the fridge and made breakfast for us. After finishing my meal, I left Charles's on the table.

Charles's apartment was located in the heart of the business district, surrounded by skyscrapers and many establishments. The location of his home was ideal. The only disadvantage was the traffic jam. I had to leave his place early if I wanted to make it to work on time.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I was as busy as a bee. I was thankful for all the work because it allowed me to forget about Charles.

At noon, Abner walked up to me and handed me a cup of coffee.

"I have good news, Scarlett. The company will choose two employees to send abroad to study. If you're interested, I can talk you up."

"Really? Buthowlongwilllbe away if I'm picked?" "A year." Abner paused and then continued, "This is an amazing opportunity. You could learn many things that would help advance your career. I really hope you seize it."

I was a little hesitant. A lot could change in a year.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"I suppose Charles is the main reason for your hesitation." Once again, Abner hit the nail on the head.

I averted my gaze and took a sip of my coffee. "No, I'm just worried about my family."

"Onlookers see more clearly. I know you're indecisive because you can't let go of some things, but I sincerely hope that this time around, you'll put yourself first." After that, Abner left.

Abner was a very rational man. And he was right. When it came to Charles, I still deceived myself.

As soon as Abner left, Linda walked over to me. She took my hand, pulled me into an empty meeting room, and shut the door.

"What happened to Charles and Rita's father last night?" she asked curiously.

I thought for a while and then told her that I did not know. There was no need to explain that matter to outsiders. It was simply one of the things that were better left unsaid.

Linda seemed a little disappointed that she could not get the information she wanted, so she changed the subject. "What about you and Charles? Are you two really together?

"Charles and I..."

"You know what, forget it. It doesn't matter. Mr. Valdez regrets the advances he made toward you. He said that if he had known that you and Charles were a thing, he wouldn't have made a move on you. He wants to apologize to you." Linda waved her hand and continued, "Well, let's just let bygones be bygones. I don't want to hold onto what happened last night anymore. I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you."

I was stunned. I did not expect the course our conversation took. To some extent, Charles had helped me solve the problem. Because of him, I did not need to wine and dine with the business partners anymore to get a sponsorship.

I smiled at Linda. I understood her helplessness.

After leaving the meeting room, I went to the studio.

After the show, one of my colleagues told me that an old lady was waiting for me in the reception room. The old lady said that she wanted to see her granddaughter-in-law. I immediately realized that it was Christine.

I thanked my colleague before rushing to the reception room with my phone in my hand.

As soon as I arrived there, Christine's hearty laughter filled my ears. She was sitting there surrounded by many of the station's staff who were serving her some tea and snacks. Everyone around the office was hospitable, and Christine was a ray of sunshine that drew people.

I politely dispersed the crowd, closed the door of the reception room, and sat beside Christine. "What are you doing here, Grandma?"

She smiled and gently patted me on the hand. "I'm here to tell everyone that you're Charles's wife. I don't want to see you get bullied again."

I choked on my words for a bit. I did not want to blurt them out in a way that would hurt one of the most important women in my life. "I

appreciate your concern, Grandma, but I can take care of myself. Besides, Charles and I are getting divorced soon."

"But you haven't yet. You're still my granddaughter-in-law. And even if you and Charles get divorced, I still won't allow anyone to give you a hard time," Christine replied with conviction.

I felt moved and helpless at the same time. "Grandma, I may no longer be your granddaughter-in-law soon, but I will always be your granddaughter, right?"

"I suppose we'll always be family. A marriage certificate can't change that." Christine flashed me a perfunctory smile.
