After Scarlett and Alexis had their dinner, it was about 7. p.m. Alexis asked Scarlett to go shopping with her, but Scarlett refused." I'm not as energetic as you are.” Alexis knew Scarlett had just gotten off the plane. She was a little upset at Scarlett’s refusal, but she didn't insist.
Scarlett tugged Alexis at her elbow. "Pull yourself straight! Are you limping?" There were so many people bustling around at the entrance to Clear Waters, but Alexis wasn’t embarrassed at all. She shook Scarlett's arm and played cute," Lettie, are you tired of me?" Scarlett felt dizzy from Alexis' shaking.
Fortunately, in a few minutes, she saw Justin's car pull up.
"Since you like acting so much, | think three months of vacation might be too much for you." Hearing Scarlett's words, Alexis instantly got anxious. She stood straight in a hurry.

Alexis wanted to say something else, but Justin put a hat on her head and blocked her sight.
Scarlett waved goodbye to the couple. Then she turned around and headed for the parking lot.
Katherine had already gone back to the company. The driver was waiting for Scarlett in the car.
Seeing Scarlett get in the car, the driver handed her a bottle of water. Scarlett smiled and shook her head, "No, thanks. Takeback home." "Okay, Ms. Reed." It was getting dark by almost 8 p.m.
Scarlett looked out the car window and then she pulled out her cell phone.
It was 3:00 a m. in Chris's city at this hour. She still hadn't received a message back from him.
'He probably was asleep." Scarlett was extremely tired. Leaning against the car window, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She was just feeling sleepy.
The nearly fifteen-hour flight was indeed exhausting. Scarlett fell asleep quickly after going to bed.
