Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 73

Scarlett's POV:

After we had our breakfast, Charles drove me to work.

Soon, we arrived at the TV station, but just when I was about to get off the car, he stopped me.

"I want to stay at your house tonight."

"Okay," I agreed without hesitation.

"You agree?" Charles seemed surprised.

"You'd better not ask again, or I might change my mind."

"Why are you being so cooperative all of a sudden? Did my kiss really satisfy you that much?" Instead of answering him, I gave him a punch as I got off the car and left without looking back.

I didn't want to think about why I was willing to compromise. Perhaps, it was because of what he said to me earlier in the morning, or perhaps, it was because the photo of our kiss was now made public. I really could not tell which one was it.

The moment I stepped out of the elevator, I ran into Nina.

She gave me a wink.

"Scarlett, Mr. Lively is waiting for you in the reception room."

Upon hearing that, I was really annoyed as I did not expect Nate to come to me again. After saying goodbye to her, I walked into the reception room.

Since I did not know what tricks he had up his sleeve this time, I figured that I had to be vigilant. Nate greeted me as soon as I entered the reception room. With a smile on his lips, he took out the exact gift box that I had thrown at his driver's face earlier that morning.

"This is a gift for you. I hope you accept it, Scarlett."

Shaking my head, I replied coldly, "Mr. Lively, there is no need for you to give me such things, or anything for that matter. After all, we have nothing to do with each other."

However, Nate smiled as he opened the box and showed it to me. Inside the box was a beautiful diamond.

"I remember that when you were a child, you used to like such shiny things."

I thought of the shiny brooches that my father had given me while he was still alive, and I subconsciously nodded with a smile.

"Scarlett, do you know how stunning you look when you smile?"

With the diamond in his hand, Nate walked towards me to grab my hand.

"Stay away from me!" I roared and took a few steps back.

However, Nate continued to approach me without giving up.

"Mr. Nate Lively, please behave yourself!" As I uttered those words, I kept telling myself to stay calm.

I passed by the table and walked towards the door. I decided that if he continued to approach me against my wishes, then I would just leave.

"Honey, you are such a greedy one! You don't like this diamond because you feel that it is too small to catch your eye, don't you?" Nate asked, faking a brilliant smile.

"Mr. Lively, oh, you think I have no idea what's going on here? You just want me to leave Charles. In fact, I know that you're not interested in me at all!" I also gave him my best fake cold smile.

I would be a joke if I had not read his mind yet.

His attempts to make me his mistress were actually an effort to clear out the obstacle for his daughter. If I had agreed, then it would only ruin my own reputation and Rita would end up with Charles. That way, he would be killing two birds with one stone.

'What a good plan! It's no wonder he was able to defeat my dad!'

"No, no. you're very beautiful, indeed, Scarlett, and you really fascinate me."

"You might be speaking the truth here, but I don't find you attractive at all, Mr. Lively," I said coldly.

"I know that you like Charles, but there's just no way for you to be with him." Nate's smile vanished as he said those words.

While we both were in a stalemate, someone knocked on the door.

I opened the door at once.

Nina and Abner were outside.

"The meeting is about to begin, so it's time for us to go now, Scarlett," Nina said to me as she dragged me out of the reception room while giving a polite smile to Nate.

I could tell that the meeting was just an excuse to get me away from Nate.

We came to Abner's office to talk so that Nate would not be able to see through our made-up story.
