GoodReadTo let him keep taking advantage of her? Scarlett rose to her feet, walked to the side, picked up her Thermos bottle and, eyes downcast, began to drink water.
Raymond sat up and looked at Scarlett who was standing outside the field six or seven meters away from him.
A blush of embarrassment had spread from her neck all the way up to her ears, lending her an astonishing air of allure.
Raymond stroked the pulp of his finger as an almost overwhelming longing swept over him like a beast trying to burst out of its cage.

She flicked a glance at Raymond, gathered her things and directly pivoted around to leave.
Raymond changed his shoes and followed. After watching Scarlett duck into her car, he got into his own to tail her.
Scarlett looked into the rear-view mirror at the black sedan, but she didn't do anything about it.
She had to return the sleeve button to him, anyway. Him following her would spare her the trouble of having Katherine deliver it to him.
Scarlett drove straight back to her villa, and Raymond followed her there.
At something after four o'clock, the sky suddenly darkened, threatening rain.
Raymond was still wearing the sport T-shirt and shorts that he had put on in the boxing gym. As the sky becleaden, the wind grew chill.

He jumped off, landed lightly and picked up the box that Scarlett had tossed to the ground beside his feet a moment ago before he straightened himself and made his way towards Scarlett. "Have you recorded it?" Scarlett didn't even press the record button. After hearing Raymond's words, she put away her cellphone. "Are you trying to intrude into my home?"
