“Uh, bye. Talk to you later!” Macy cut the line abruptly.
Huh? What was going on?
Didn’t I ask Jared to send her back last night? I couldn’t believe she found herself a one-night stand in that circumstance!
Wait, was that Jared?
I proceeded to call Jared next. The phone rang for quite some time before someone picked up.
“Scarlett,” he answered in a clear voice. It didn’t seem like he was asleep, so I asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m driving. What’s wrong?” he replied.
Well, it looked like he wasn’t with Macy.
Chuckling, I told him, “I’m done with work. Are you free this afternoon? Let’s have lunch together.”
“Sure,” he agreed without hesitation.
When I hung up, Nick was looking at me, amused. “Scarlett, seriously?”
I shot him a puzzled look. “What’s wrong?”
He sighed, “Is it that bad to spend some time alone with me? You keep calling your friends and inviting them here!”
Ugh, how childish! I ignored his outburst and gazed at the bustling city. “A City is developing swiftly.”
Gazing at International Trade Center located right in the bustling area, I told Nick, “This is a tall building!”
He knew I was trying to change the topic and huffed, “Fuller Corporation’s building is taller than this. Plus, it houses different companies inside.”
“Oh? You seem to know it well.” I grew curious.
“Mm.” He grunted and added, “My mom bought this building with another tech company’s owner. She has a company inside.”
So this building was owned by Cameron. I couldn’t help but admire this capable woman. She was both wealthy and pretty.
I recalled her saying she had another daughter when we were in Pear Garden. “You have a sister?” I asked Nick curiously.
Nick seemed to hate this topic as his expression soured. “That’s her daughter. It has nothing to do with me!”
