Flirting With My Ex-husband novel Chapter 8

Scarlett slept very late last night and drank two cocktails. The hangover made her feel uncomfortable. Alexis happened to call her early in the morning, which was so noisy that she could not continue to sleep.

"What's the matter again, famous celebrity Alexis?"

Scarlett was usually grumpy when she woke up but had been suppressing it for a long time at the Shaw Residence. Now that this side of her was unblocked, she was as restless as a ferocious beast that had just gotten out of its cage.

Honestly, Alexis should be glad that Scarlett was not i n front of her.

"Did I wake you up?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes and got up from her bed while rubbing her temples. "Hurry up and talk."

"... Your ex-husband is trending with his dream girl. Now, the whole internet is discussing if the two of you peacefully divorced because you've both cheated on each other.”

Scarlett was stunned for a while and sobered up a lot." You also called him my ex-husband. In the future, it won't be necessary for you to risk half of your petty life to tell me about Raymond.”

Alexis touched her neck on the other end of the phone. "I was wrong, Lettie. Go back to sleep, go back t o sleep. I won't disturb you anymore!"

Following that, she quickly hung up.

Scarlet threw her phone on the bed and buried her head back into her pillow.

Nonetheless, Alexis’ words kept lingering in her head. She could not go back to sleep anymore.

She was rather annoyed. "Hilla, boil some water for m e."

"Okay, Master."

Scarlett entered her bathroom with slippers. The person in the mirror had messy hair, and her skin was not in good condition due to the handover. She disliked how she looked in the mirror. 1

'It’s just a divorce. You don't need to be like this, Scarlett.'

Half an hour later.

Scarlett looked at the gossip news on her phone. She would be lying to herself to say that she felt nothing, but she had expected this to happen. Now that she saw the news about Raymond and Julie, she only felt that it was somewhat laughable.

She quit Twitter. Since they had divorced, the midnight date between Raymond and Julie had nothing to do with her.

After having breakfast, Scarlett put on some makeup and changed into a blue dress. She drove her dusty Ferrari out of the garage and headed straight to Crain.

Scarlett had come here yesterday. She went up with Mark but came down with Alexis, hence the receptionist treated her with respect.

"Miss Reed, are you here to see Miss Carter?"

Scarlett smiled and responded, "Mm, is she here?"

"Miss Carter has just arrived. Let me get the elevator for you."

Scarlett nodded. "Thanks."

She could not help but twitch her mouth when she looked at the respectful receptionist in front of her and recalled the two receptionists from Teuton two days ago.

How bad must Raymond be treating her for his company's receptionists to look down at her?

On second thought, Scarlett thought that she had stooped too low herself. She was well on her own, but she just had to kneel in front of Raymond and kiss his *ss. At last, she got nothing apart from a divorce license.

A "ding" was heard, and the elevator door opened.

Scarlett recollected her thoughts. She walked out of the elevator in silver high heels and walked straight to Alexis' office.

Nicole was rather surprised to see her. "Miss Reed, why are you here?"

"I'm just here to take a look."

Scarlett almost believed her. "Tell me, what the hell are you up to again?"

"Cough, cough, cough... I heard that Julie invited Raymond as a special guest.”

Scarlet paused and turned to look at Alexis. "Are you taking me as a part of the fun to watch?"

Alexis blinked sheepishly and lifted her hand to place it on Scarlett’s shoulder. "You can't say that, Lettie. Think about those grievances you suffered from the Shaw family for the past three years! At the end of the day, wasn't it all because Raymond turned a blind eye t o you? Julie has not only invited Raymond but also Jean and his younger sister. You have no idea what the people outside are saying about you! They say that you’ve been at the Shaw Residence for three years but aren't as useful as an invitation from Julie.”

Alexis' words reminded Scarlett of what happened two years ago. It was her 25th birthday, and Alexis had helped her throw a small birthday party. She initially planned to confess to Raymond and the others that she was quite wealthy but apart from Alexis and her other friends, nobody from the Shaw family showed up that night.

That was not the worst. The worst thing was Tiffany sent her a screenshot from a group that she had created. Tiffany asked those who received her invitation if they were going to her birthday party, and everyone answered "no".

In the end, the screenshot was leaked, and everyone in the circle laughed at Scarlett for not measuring up to herself. They mocked her for holding a birthday party like others thinking that she had risen to a high status just because she got married into a wealthy family and was dressed nicely.

The past was painful. Scarlett relaxed her eyebrows and said, "It's boring."

Alexis clicked her tongue. "How is this boring? Tiffany is Mark's fangirl. A while ago, Julie’s company contacted Mark's manager as she wanted to collaborate with him for an exhibition. Since you couldn't invite the Shaw family two years ago, they can't beg for Mark two years later.”

"Mm-just the thought of it is exciting!"

Scarlett smiled faintly at Alexis. "Great, you even know how to scheme against me now."

“I dare not, I dare not."

After a moment of silence, Alexis could not hold back

anymore and asked, "So are you going or not?"

Scarlett took a sip of her chrysanthemum tea. "I'm going. Why not?"

She wanted to see if Tiffany would die from anger knowing that she was with her idol.
