GoodReadScarlett watched Raymond getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror of her car, tension draining from her face gradually.
Since he liked to trouble her by asking her to send him, she satisfied his demand.
The suburb was fifteen kilometers from downtown, and Raymond's cell phone was taken away by her. It took her twenty minutes to take him here. Therefore, i f he wanted to go back from the suburbs tonight, he had to walk for three or four hours.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter returning downtown, Scarlett went straight to the police station with Raymond's cell phone.
At 8 pm, the police officer on duty was stunned when h e saw Scarlett. "Miss, are you coming to report a crime? H Scarlett smiled and took out Raymond's cell phone. "N o. | found a cell phone on a road." The policeman took a look at the phone Scarlett was holding. It was not a common cell phone model, and it looked expensive.
"Oh, | see. Please keep a record." Scarlett raised her eyebrows and followed the policeman to keep a record.
It took her only five minutes. She soon cout of the police station.
Scarlett returned to her villa at 9 pm. She took a hath, put on a face mask, and went to bed in a happy mood.
At 9:30 pm, Alexander received a call from an unknown number. He wanted to go to sleep early today instead of hanging out, which was very rare. He thought it was sbastard called to disturb his rest.
Once he saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Alexander directly rejected the call.
But just after he rejected it, the number called again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander's temper flared up. He would like to see which bastard was calling! "Who is it?" Alex asked impatiently.
"It's me." Alexander changed his attitude as soon as he heard Raymond's familiar cold voice. "Ray, whose phone did you use to call me?" The caller ID was unfamiliar to Alexander. If he wasn't good-tempered, he would have declined! Raymond didn't bother to explain to him. "I'm at the convenience store on Wind Avenue. Cpickup." "How did you go..." Before Alexander could finish speaking, Raymond hung up.
Alexander resisted the urge to curse. He had taken off his pants and was ready to take a shower before Raymond called. Now he had to lift the pants, put on his shoes, and go out to pick up Raymond.
But the address Raymond mentioned was not clear. It took Alexander almost twenty minutes to find Raymond.
"What are you doing here?" Raymond screwed the cap of his water bottle and gave Alexander a sidelong glance. "Can you stop asking?" Alexander was a bit unhappy. "Hey. After all, | cout to pick you up in the middle of the night. You have to tellhow you chere, don't you? Also, where i s your cell phone? How did you use someone else's phone to call me?" Raymond got into the car and replied, "Scarlett broughthere. She took away my phone." Alexander froze for a moment. He really did not quite understand what Raymond meant. "What? | do not quite understand what you mean. Scarlett brought you here? Why did she not take you away? Besides, what are you doing in the suburb in the middle of the night? Did you cto the suburb deliberately to admire the starry night and bright moon?" Alexander said and looked up at the sky. "But there are no stars." "Didn't your geography teacher tell you that the moon i s bright while the stars are few?" Alexander sensed Raymond's mockery. "That's not the point. The point is: what's going on with you and Scarlett?" Raymond looked sideways at Alexander and asked, ' Are you driving or not? If not, just letdrive." Alexander sat sulkily for two seconds, but he finally started the car.
After Alexander drove the car for about five or six minutes, a thought suddenly struck him. He suddenly understood what Raymond's words meant.
He looked around. There happened to be a late-night snack stand not far ahead of him. He pulled over and stopped the car. He then looked at Raymond and chuckled. "Oh no, Ray. You mean Scarlett sent you here on purpose and took away your phone so that you had to walk back home?" Raymond's face froze for a moment. He looked sideways coldly at Alexander, who was laughing at him. "It's still early. How about we go to a boxing gym and do boxing?"
