GoodReadApparently, Raymond was calling about Jasmine.
When Jasmine had just left the restaurant in a huff, she was getting angrier on the way back to the hotel, so she called Raymond.
Jasmine was great at stirring up conflict between a couple.
‘Scarlett didn't care about it?" Jasmine was determined to call Raymond to provoke Scarlett.

But Raymond had blacked out Jasmine's phone number long ago. Jasmine could only call Frank.
Jasmine didn't say much. She only said," Secretary Lewis, this is Jasmine. Please tell Mr. Shaw that | just met with Ms. Reed. She probably was not in a good mood now. Please tell Raymond to comfort her".
Her words sounded so considerate as if she was really just calling to tell Raymond to comfort Scarlett.
Yet Jasmine knew it too well. Women would all be annoyed by the interference of another woman. Even though Jasmine was in no way related to Raymond right now, Scarlett would be jealous as long as she let Scarlett believe that she had contacted Raymond, no matter how calm Scarlett was.
Jasmine believed that when Raymond heard her, he would definitely call Scarlett.
As soon as Raymond called Scarlett, Jasmine would have achieved her goal. Not long after Jasmine left the restaurant, Raymond called Scarlett. Jasmine believed that if Scarlett was not stupid, she would assume that Jasmine and Raymond had been in touch.
However, Jasmine would be disappointed. The first thing Raymond said was, "Do you need me to ask Frank to deal with her?" Scarlett laughed at Raymond's question. Her hand with the fork moved slightly, and she flipped it over. While playing with the fork, Scarlett asked nonchalantly, "How are you going to deal with her?" "Tell her to stay away from you." Scarlett raised an eyebrow. She remembered what Jasmine had just said." Ms. Garcia is crazy for you. How can you do that?" Scarlett said it slowly, and with a bit of a tease in it.
Anyone would know she was joking.

Raymond, however, acted strange. ' I'll tell Frank to contact her father." Scarlett felt a little embarrassed at his words, but she was glad in her mind, "Oh." 'Ms. Garcia, it's not that I'm trying to kick you away! It's that Raymond got the wrong idea.” Raymond didn't want to talk about Jasmine anymore. He asked, "Are you busy this afternoon?" Scarlett muttered, "No." "Good." Raymond seemed to be simply asking if she was busy. Then he didn't say anything else.
Scarlett glanced at Katherine's plate. She thought Katherine's steak was going to get cold if she went on talking with Raymond.
"I'm going to have lunch. Rye"Bye." Hanging up the phone, Scarlett looked over at Katherine, who had “come back from the restroom" and was standing not far away.
Noticing Scarlett’s gaze, Katherine was a little embarrassed. She walked back. "Ms. Reed."
