The birthday party would start at 7:30 p.m. Scarlett made her entrance at 7 p.m.
She hadn't met Clair for two years. As soon as she showed up, Clair's secretary, Hoyle, invited her to a place.
She carried the gift and followed Hoyle to a lounge calmly.
Hoyle said, "Ms. Reed, here the way."
Scarlett said with a smile, "Thank you, Hoyle."
Hoyle said, "You're welcome, Ms. Reed. It's my pleasure."
Hoyle pushed open the door.
Scarlett walked in. Today, she wore heels and a blue long dress with flowery embroidery that was not that grand.
Clair said, "Ms. Reed, long time no see."
Clair was making coffee when Scarlett walked in. He looked up at her.
She smiled and handed the gift to him. She said, "Mr. Clair, long time no see. Happy birthday to you."
Clair laughed and took the gift. He said, "Thank you, M
s. Reed."
Scarlett smoothed her dress and sat opposite to him. She said, "Don't mention it, Mr. Clair. It's just a small gift."
Clair burst into laughter, "Don't give me that."
He liked Scarlett very much. He had been a businessman for several decades, but he had never met a person like Scarlett.
Two years ago, Clair met Scarlett once. Although she looked quiet, she had sharp taste. Although she looked gentle, what she said was tough. When he heard what she had said, he knew that she was a smart girl.
Henry was thirty-two years old, but he was careless. Although he was capable, Clair knew that it was not enough. Clair was worried that Henry would be unable to take over Naland Real Estate after he passed away.
Thus, Clair had made up his mind after he heard about the rumors these days.
If Scarlett married Henry, Clair wouldn't be worried that Naland Real Estate would collapse after he passed away.
Clair believed that Naland Real Estate would develop well under Scarlett's good taste and Henry's social relations.
However, it was just Clair's thoughts. It depended on Scarlett's thoughts.
Scarlett knew that Clair could see through her thoughts easily. She said directly, "It's your birthday today. Of course, I need to give you the gift that you like."
Clair handed a cup of coffee to her and said, "You made me curious about it."
