GoodReadIt was still raining. When the traffic lights turned red, Scarlett stopped the car.
She looked at the rain and fog outside the window. Meanwhile, Alexander's words were echoing in her ears.
Scarlett was lost in thought until the lights changed to green and the drivers behind sounded their horns. She stepped on the gas and started the car.
Fifteen minutes later, she parked her car outside Raymond's apartment building.
This was the first tScarlett had chere. After she and Raymond got married, Raymond had hardly stayed at the Shaw Residence. He always lived in this downtown apartment.
She didn't have the key card or the password.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was a luxury apartment building. Before she could get in, Scarlett was stopped by the guards.
"Hello, Miss. You don't seem to live here." Scarlett shook her head. "My boyfriend is the owner of the apartment 2803." Hearing this, the guard froze. "That's Mr. Shaw's apartment. He had an accident six months ago. Miss, according to our rules, | can’t let you in." Scarlett didn't say anything. She stepped aside and called Frank.
Frank was a little surprised. After following Scarlett for more than half a year, Frank knew that Scarlett had drawn a clear line between work and private life.
Scarlett didn't have any work this evening. Normally, Scarlett wouldn't contact him in this case.
Yet now he received a call from Scarlett.
Frank subconsciously thought that something had happened to Scarlett, so he was worried. "Good evening, Ms.
Reed." "Good evening, Frank. I'm outside Raymond's apartment building. The guards don't letin. Can you help me?" Hearing this, Frank did a double-take and hurriedly answered, "Ms. Reed, can you give your phone to the guard?" Scarlett smiled and handed her phone to the guard beside her. "Hello, my friend wants to talk to you. Could you please answer the phone?" Scarlett was not only good-looking but also polite. She was calm although the guards refused to let her in. The guard was taken aback when he heard Scarlett's words. He hastily took the phone. "Hello, I'm the guard.” "I'm Frank, Mr. Shaw's secretary. You should have recorded my phone number. The owner of this phone is Mr.
Shaw's girlfriend. She forgot the key card. Please let her in." The apartment staff recorded the information about Frank. After all, those who lived in this luxury apartment were not ordinary people. The guards couldn't afford to offend them.
As a qualified guard, he remembered the information about the most important owners. Raymond was so famous in Juanton City that the guards didn't dare to neglect him.
After Frank said that, the guard let Scarlett in.
"Ms. Reed, I'm sorry. | didn't recognize you." Scarlett took back her phone and smiled carelessly. "It's okay." The guard hurriedly opened the gate.
Scarlett said thank you and walked into the building.
Frank said on the phone, "Ms. Reed, the password is your date of birth.” Scarlett's hand twitched as she held her phone. She pressed a button outside the elevator. "Okay, thanks." After she hung up the phone, the elevator cdown.
Raymond liked to live on the top floor, and this building had two apartments on each floor and one apartment on the highest three floors.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe elevator stopped at the 28th floor about half a minute later.
The door was right on the left of the elevator.
Scarlett entered the password. The door opened with two beeps, and the lights in the foyer lit up.
Frank asked someone to ventilate and clean the apartment every week. Although Raymond hadn't been here for almost a year, it was bright, and the air inside was fresh.
There were three pairs of shoes in the cabinet, including two pairs of leather shoes and one pair of slippers.
The apartment had an area of more than 200 square meters. The living room looked empty, even though there was a set of sofas.
Scarlett put on Raymond's slippers. They looked too big for her.
The whole house was decorated in cold shades of black and gray.
The doors were hidden. Scarlett had never cover before. It took her quite a while to find the door of the guest bedroom.
The door of the master bedroom was even more difficult to find. It blended with the dark wall. She finally found it in the innermost part of the apartment.
