Back to the Villa, Scarlett felt utterly exhausted.
She could not explain her weariness, perhaps she was overwhelmed by those frequent and annoying encounters with Raymond recently.
"Hilla, get the bath ready for me."
Scarlett felt that her head still spun a little because of the alcohol, and she sat down trying to get sober for a while before she asked Hilla to put the water into the bath.
When she was about to close her eyes for a nap, the screen of her phone lit up. She turned her head slightly and saw from the corner of her eyes that there was a message from Antony.
Raising her eyebrow, Scarlett read the message and answered, "Just got back."
Antony's next message came very quickly, "Want any midnight snacks?"
To be honest, Scarlett barely ate anything tonight because she felt fed up by the public display of affection she saw.
"I'm a bit tired."
She was not refusing anything, but was just telling the fact. It was up to Antony what to think of it.
"How about a free home delivery service from me?"
Reading this reply, Scarlett was a bit surprised." Alright, then there is no reason that I should starve myself."
Antony texted back saying with an emoji, "I will be there in thirty minutes, Madam."
Seeing that Antony called her Madam, Scarlett could not help but smile, "Good."
Antony sent another emoji, but this time Scarlett did not answer him.
She put down her phone, and suddenly realized that she had not got changed. The dress she had been wearing was wonderful, but had also given her a tough time since it was too tight-fitting.
This meant that she could not eat too much, in case her stomach burst and spoiled the dress.
Still feeling tired, she decided that she would take a bath before Antony got here.
But before she could blow-dry her hair, the doorbell rang.
Turning off her hair drier, Scarlett went downstairs to open the door while putting on a coat on her way.
She could not believe that the first day of the year was such a cold day, like it was a hint that this year would not be a good one.
The warmth and coziness of her house were blown away once she opened the door, and Scarlett shuddered in the cold air at once.
