Raymond hugged her tightly, leaned back casually, and suddenly gave a low laugh, "Well, it's really sweet."
Scarlett leaned against his chest, feeling as if his laughter and words were drifting into her heart through her ears.
She lowered her head and couldn't help smiling.
The sunlight of the afternoon penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole living room was quiet.
Scarlett paused for a while, then looked up at Raymond, and said, "It's 1 pm now. Go to the guest bedroom to get some sleep."
She hadn't noticed Raymond had dark circles under his eyes until she had gotten closer to him.
Raymond had not lied. He indeed had not slept well last night.
The fact that Scarlett had agreed to get back together with him was like a dream. He had doubted he was dreaming, so he had been afraid if he fell asleep, he would find everything was false when he woke up.
He had been thinking about her grin when she had gotten into the car all night.
He had also thought of the beautiful fairies in the storybooks that Sally had read for him when he had been a child. If there were fairies, they must look like Scarlett.
When he was in a daze, Scarlett got up from his arms.
Raymond looked up at her and asked, "How about you?"
"I don't have to go to the company this afternoon."
Raymond raised his eyebrows and said, "As an assistant, you are quite free."
Scarlett didn't plan to hide it from him. Hearing his words, she replied, "Yes. After all, it's just a part-time job."
"Part-time job?"
"Do you have any problem with it?"
"Nope."
But he had never heard of such a high-end part-time job.
Scarlett glanced at her phone and reminded, "It's already 1:05 pm."
Raymond looked at her for a moment and then strode into the guest bedroom.
Scarlett stared after him until he entered the room, and then she raised her hands to cover her face.
