GoodReadWhen Scarlett arrived at the restaurant, Alexander had arrived already.
A waiter showed Scarlett the way to the table. She thanked the waiter. As soon as she put down her bag, Alexander helped her pull a chair out.
'He is a gentleman..." Scarlett glanced at Alexander and said," Thank you, Mr. Smith." Alexander felt embarrassed and touched his nose. He said, "Don't mention it. We have known each other for a long time." He handed a menu to her.

Although there were only Scarlett and Alexander, Alexander would pay more than three thousand dollars for the meal at least.
Alexander said, "Never mind. If you like the dishes and chere again, you can charge it to my account." Scarlett took a sip of coffee and said," Thank you." Alexander said, "You're welcome." So little money was nothing for him.
Scarlett ordered several dishes and a soup.
She said, "It will be enough for us." Alexander nodded, "OK. If it is not enough, we can order smore." Scarlett smiled and took a sip of coffee. She said, "Mr. Smith, why do you inviteto have a meal with you today?" Alexander smiled, "You're smart. You must know why | invite you to have a meal today.
"I witness what has happened between Ray and you these years. | was anxious in the morning and thus offended you. Please forgive me. You know that I'm simple-minded sometimes." Alexander paused and said, "Please forgiveand forget what | said in the morning." Scarlett arched her eyebrows and said, " What if | refuse?” Hearing that, Alexander fell into a trance.
Scarlett's answer was unexpected for Alexander.
The atmosphere was awkward. Alexander looked at Scarlett and didn’t know what he could say.
Scarlett sat there and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

She changed her attitude so quickly that he even didn't have the tto react. After two seconds, he understood Scarlett’s meaning finally.
He was relieved secretly and said, "I think so." At that time, a waiter served the soup for them. Scarlett kept silent.
After the waiter left, Alexander asked," Does it mean that you have forgiven me?" Scarlett picked up the cover of the soup as she said, "I have never been angry with you.
She sprinkled ssalt into the soup and stirred it. She said calmly, "You have known Raymond for a long time. | know that you have a good relationship with him. If it werewho had the accident, my friend, Alexis, would go to question Raymond just like what you did." Alexander didn't expect Scarlett to be so generous. She even didn't feel angry at all. Suddenly, he regretted what he had done in the morning more.
He glanced at Scarlett and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I'm just too anxious. | didn't get any news about him in the past six months. The surrounding people askedto let it go, but | believed that he was still alive all the time. Over the past six months, | knew that you also thought that he was still alive, so you took charge of Tenton. You gavethe hope to hold on. At least, | was not the only one who had such thoughts." Alexander had never told others his thoughts. Although Jake and Stephen also felt sad, they could do nothing. No one knew what would happen.
Raymond had the accident suddenly. It was a bolt from the blue for them.
They all had their own lives, and it was normal for them to say goodbye to someone. Alexander couldn't ask them to cling to the past and not move forward.
Although Alexander was flippant, he had a clear mind for important things.
