"ART Cindy looked at her with great surprise. After a while, she murmured, "But... you are still reasonable." Scarlett was amused by her reaction. She recalled Alexis’ words and realized that Cindy treated her like a fanatical fan treated her favorite star. Whatever she did, Cindy would support her unconditionally.
This was really interesting.
She handed the menu over to Cindy. "Please take a look at this and tellwhat you want to eat or drink." Cindy felt flattered and she took a few glances at Scarlett before reaching for the menu. "Do you really wantto order?" Scarlett smiled. "Yes. Although I'm not that rich, | can pay for the bill." At the thought that she might have offended Scarlett, Cindy quickly explained, "Miss Reed, | didn't mean that. | just don’t know what you like to eat..." "Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding." Cindy blinked. Then she looked down at the menu and ordered the signature dessert.
Seeing that she had finished ordering, Scarlett smiled.

If you had chosen to marry my brother, | would have protected you from being bullied by others!" Cindy was so nervous that she blurted out her true thoughts.
After that, her ears turned red from embarrassment.
Scarlett was stunned for a few seconds. "You seem to have a good impression of me, don't you?" Cindy even wanted her to marry her brother, which meant she must have left a good impression on this girl.
Pursing her lips, Cindy said without hesitation, "Miss Reed, we have met before." "Really?" Scarlett searched her memory, but she didn't remember seeing Cindy before.
She had a good memory. It might be a bit exaggerated t o say that she never forgot anything, but if she had seen Cindy, she must have remembered her.
Moreover, judging from Cindy's reaction, she guessed something special must have happened between them.
Cindy was a little disappointed upon realizing that Scarlett didn't remember her at all. But it was already s o delightful to have afternoon tea with Scarlett today.
She adjusted her mood and said, "Five years ago, my classmates and | were harassed at the Twilight Bar, and you helped us out." Back then, Cindy hadn't been as quiet and sweet as she was now. She used to be a troublemaker of the James family.
It happened that her father had only one daughter, so everyone in the family spoiled her. As her elder brother, Stephen also didn't have the heart to be harsh on Cindy.
In her sophomore year, Cindy was still in adolescence, and she acted in a rebellious way. She enjoyed playing with a bunch of cool guys all day long, and she dressed in a noticeable and unconventional way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne night, she drank a lot with sfriends at the Twilight Bar. Cindy was a good drinker, and she always behaved rationally even though she was rebellious. However, her friends were far stupider than her. One of her friends provoked a hooligan, and he was immediately scared away, leaving Cindy alone with another girl. This was the first tfor Cindy to confront hooligans, and she was almost scared to cry.
People around just watched them without offering a helping hand. Another girl cried on the spot, but Cindy managed to stay calm. She mustered up her courage and threatened those hooligans that she would call the police. As a result, her mobile phone was taken away, which made her unable to inform Stephen to save her.
Just as they were about to be dragged away by the hooligans, Scarlett, who was also in the bar, threw an empty wine bottle over.
It was particularly chaotic at the bar that night. Cindy and her friend huddled aside crying and shaking, while Scarlett knocked down those hooligans with just a few moves.
Hiding in the corner, Cindy looked at Scarlett with great admiration, feeling that she was like a fairy from heaven.
This was the first tshe saw a beautiful and elegant girl who easily knocked down several burly hooligans.
This incident had a huge impact on her. From that night on, she realized that a pretty and quiet girl could also be so cool.
She broke off contact with that bunch of friends, threw away all her black clothes and beca well-behaved girl.
Later, she studied boxing, Taekwondo and judo. Now n o one could easily cause physical harm to her.
