GoodReadAlexis snorted, "I've always been smart." Scarlett answered obediently, "Yes, you have." "..." Alexis felt she was being ridiculed again.
After she had hung up, Scarlett looked at the time. It was after nine o'clock.
It was tfor her to brush her teeth and go to bed.
Hardly had she reached the third floor when the doorbell rang.

Sure enough, Scarlett opened the entry door and saw Raymond standing in the distance outside the gate of her villa.
In the moonlight, this man looked at her from afar, and his black eyes were very soft.
Scarlett's heart was beating hard for a second and she lowered her eyes. Then she went over and opened the door, "Mr. Shaw, are you up so late?" Raymond reached out his hand to take her hand, "Honey, | miss you." Scarlett suddenly blushed. She wondered why everyone she spoke to tonight called her Honey.
"How much did you drink?" Raymond was sweating alcohol, and Scarlett smelled it as she approached him. Now that he was standing next to her, the smell was even more obvious.
"Four glasses." Scarlett glanced sideways at him, "So much?" "Yes." Raymond answered softly and took her by the hand as they entered the villa.
"I'm thirsty, Scarlett." He sat on the sofa, raised his hands and rubbed his temples. He looked a little uncomfortable.
Scarlett added shoney into the water for him. Raymond raised his head and drank it off.
"Do you want anymore?" "Yes." He looked at her and tugged at his tie.
Scarlett blushed by his look.

She put the glass of water on the table.
When she had sat down, he held her in his arms, "Three days have passed, Scarlett." Raymond said, and then paused for a moment, "Can my progress bar move a little?" 'Oh, three days ago, we had a bet on when Darrell would deal with Yvonne." Scarlett looked at him and smiled, "Even though Darrell hasn't done anything in three days, it doesn't mean that he'll do anything in seven days?" She hadn't forgotten that Raymond had said Darrell would do it after three days and within seven days.
Raymond's eyes moved slightly as if he had expected her to say this. He looked at her and smiled, "It will be Yvonne's grandfather Jasper Sheridan's 80th birthday the day after tomorrow." Scarlett froze. She finally knew why Darrell had been so slow to deal with Yvonne. It turned out that he was waiting for a big scene.
She misread the situation this time, but she could afford to lose.
"Then your progress bar can move twenty percent.” "It's still twenty-five percent short of being done." Raymond looked at her, "Can | stay here tonight?" Scarlett blushed and began to say something when Raymond added, "I will sleep in the guest room." Scarlett, who misunderstood his meaning, said,"... Hmm."
