“Oh my god, what have I done?” She yelled out.
Francis pinched her cheeks lightly and said, “You’re such a lazy girl, aren’t you? Didn’t you go to bed at, like, nine last night? Didn’t you get enough sleep? How come you’re not able to get up this morning?”
“Well, I did go to bed at nine, but I was on my phone till really late….” She murmured, squeezing toothpaste onto her brush slowly.
Last night, on account of another one of his conference calls, Francis had only gotten back home past 2 am. So, he didn't know what Scarlett had been up to in the earlier hours of the night.

This game of Monopoly is getting superheated!” Sarah said, marveling at the properties she had been able to amass in the first quarter of the game.Scarlett heard that and looked up, but Bell chimed in before Scarlett could say anything, “Sarah, you’ve already stolen every single property from us!

“I’m so sorry to have caused you so much trouble!” Scarlett said as she followed behind Eleanor and tightened her coat to protect against the chilly wind.“I’m fine.

Well, since you are so excited about that, I’ll think about it.” He said as he looked at her.And then Scarlett had her arm around his waist. She looked up and said, “So you are pretending to help them, and you will stab them in the back, right?

What do you want from me?”Claire smiled coyly, “It’s too cold here. Let’s go find a warm place to sit down and chat for a moment. What do you say?”Scarlett nodded her assent, although she was uns

Staring at Scarlett’s back outside the window, Claire bit her lips slightly and thought to herself: if Francis didn’t really love Scarlett, she might still have a chance to win his love. If she didn’t fight for it and missed her chance, she would end up depressed. She would have to watch her beloved spend the rest of his life unhappily. She couldn’t allow that to happen. After all, for her, Francis was no less than a god. Scarlett was just a daughter of a failure, how could she be worthy of her god?Scarlett knew Claire was very ignorant, but she never expected her to be that ignorant.

How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night.
