Chapter 63
Scarlet was in a hurry to call the maintenancepany, but just then, a gentle voice came from behind
her.
"What''s wrong? Are you having any trouble?"
"Mr. Smith, myputer malfunctioned, and Evie urgently needs the client data. I''ve already sorted
them out, but theputer..."
Marlon really pitied her when he saw how much she was fretting and sweating out of worry.
He bent down to check theputer out. He figured there was a problem with the main circuit board,
and it wouldn''t be able to be repaired in a short time.
"What kind of client information does she need on weekends? I have it on myptop, so I''ll send it to
herter. You don''t have to worry about it."
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Smith."
Scarlet breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, her stomach rumbled from hunger.
Marlon couldn''t help chuckling. He looked around and saw the new batch of cloth along with the printed
documents that were properly ced on every desk.
It was obvious that Scarlet had worked hard.
"Let''s go have dinner."
"No, thanks... It''s toote. I have to go home."
"Well, even if you have to get home, you still need to have dinner, right? You worked overtime this
weekend. I''m your boss. I wouldn''t be a great one if I didn''t reward you for it. We''re not in school now.
There is no need to be so formal and polite. And if you refuse my offer, people will wonder why and
assume I don''t treat my employees well."
"Well, then let''s get some food. The beef noodles sold in the restaurant downstairs are really delicious
and also super affordable!"
Scarlet was worried that Marlon would suggest an expensive restaurant, so she quickly spoke first to
beat him to it.
Scarlet was worried that Marlon would suggest an expensive restaurant, so she quickly spoke first to

"Okay, I actually happen to crave beef noodles, too."
He smiled. He looked quite handsome and pleasant when his eyes wrinkled.
At the restaurant, Scarlet finished her bowl of noodles pretty quickly, but she was still hungry when she
was done.
"Hey, Mr. Smith, is it okay if I have another serving of noodles?"
Marlon was a little surprised at this question. It was the first time he had met a girl who enjoyed her
food, and a lot of it, at that.
Even as a man who had considered himself to have a big appetite, one bowl of noodles was enough
for him. And she, this tiny woman, wanted another?
Scarlet realized how she must havee off, and felt embarrassed. She said, "Well... Actually, never
mind. I''m fine."

"No, no, don''t be silly. I''m d you have such a good appetite. But I''m shocked that you don''t gain any
weight after eating so much!"
"Well, I am fat... but it''s easy to hide. When I wear loose clothing, it''s hard to tell what my body type is
really like."
She hid the fact that she needed to eat more because she was pregnant, and wanted to give sufficient
nutrition to the baby.
She gave Marlon a shy and infectious smile.
On the side of the road across from them, a ck Maybach had been parked there for a long while.
Drake carefully observed the expression on Lenny''s face. The man''s face seemed gloomy, and his
deep-set eyes were hardened in concentration.
In the evening, Lenny had been at work in thepany.
When he was leaving, he asked Drake to take a detour so that he could pick Scarlet up and take her
home. But he didn''t expect to see this!
"Sir... Now..."
"Leave," Lenny firmly said in a cold voice and closed his eyes, wanting to be indifferent to what he had
just seen.
They were divorced now. Scarlet had her own freedom to be with whoever she liked.
She had also clearly said that she had a crush on Marlon.
He should be happy for her, that she was able to find a nice boyfriend.
But then... why did he still feel his heart ache when he saw her with another man?
Soon, Scarlet finished her second bowl of noodles. When Marlon wanted to drop her home, she
refused.
She was living with Lenny now. The less people knew about it, the better. She wanted to keep her
rtionship with Lenny a secret for now.
Marlon didn''t insist further. He hailed a taxi for her and took a picture of its license te and the driver''s
information, just in case. He told her to send him a message when she got home, so he knew she was
safe.
By the time she got home, it was already at midnight.
The house was dark.
She guessed Lenny was already asleep.
As she silently removed her shoes, the lights in the living room switched on suddenly.
In an instant, the whole room lit up brightly.
Lenny was seated on the sofa. He looked tense and a little bit hostile.
Scarlet felt flustered and uncertain when she saw him like this. She absentmindedly gulped as her body
grew stiff and rigid.
Why hadn''t he gone to bed yet?
