Scarlett got out of her bed, "End of conversation. I gotta wash up and have breakfast."
"Hey! Wait! Aren't you surprised or excited?"
Looking at the sunshine through the window, Scarlett raised her eyebrows and replied, "I don't have any feelings right now."
"... Scarlett. Come on..."
The phone was hung up from the other side before Alexis could finish her sentence.
Good on her.
Actually, Scarlett guessed out last night before she had gone to sleep that the headline had been suppressed by Raymond.
Honestly, she was quite shocked by the sentence " have you loved me?" he had said. Hadn't Raymond been always thinking her over-confident, greedy, and hypocritical?
He had used to say that her love could be priced and meant nothing for him.
She didn't expect that he would ask this complicated question after divorce.
That was really hilarious.
About Raymond suppressing the headline, Scarlett didn't take it seriously.
The thing she intended to do right now was to deal with Julie.

In the restaurant, only light music could be heard because it was still early for lunch. She saw the only person here once she walked in.
"I am sorry for being late, Mr. Calton."
He was obviously stunned when seeing her, but he quickly went back to normal and said, "That's all right.
