After she left me, I was left to struggles with my thoughts.
'What the hell just happened!!?' I buried my face in my palm.
'Is she crazy!!!! Is this some kind of prank!!!???' I look at my phone as I thought about my conversation with Serena earlier. I feel tangled after I heard her confession.
'She said she likes me... Did Scarlett pay her to say that? For what reason!!??'
'She can't be trusted, maybe Scarlett wants her to pay close attention to me!!'
" Ughhh!!!" I can't help but grumbled when I remember our conversation. And the kiss...
I touch the corner of my lips where she kissed me just now, —AAAaaaaHhHH!!!!
'Stop it, Hazel!!! She is seducing for you!!! With her soft lips—GYAHHHHHH!!!! It's not soft at all!!! It's not like it feels good!!!' I shake my head and stand up before taking a deep breath.
'Calm down... Calm down...' I walk to my desk to continue my work to distract myself.
After a few minutes of working, I was able to calm myself down. That is until a chat notification pops out on my phone.
"Huh?" Whose number is this? I pick up my phone to look at what the chat is saying.
*** 928w8w9q9q: Hazel baby, this is your future wife. Remember our date next week!! I will pick you up at your house at 9:00 p.m!!
'What!!!?? How did she get my number!!!??' I frown as I think of whether I should ignore this message or not.
*** 928w8w9q9q: Please don't ignore this message and please save my number!! Or else, I will spend this entire month spending time in your office!!!
' Doesn't she have any work to do!!! Why does Scarlett didn't fired her yet!!!?? Wait!! Does this mean she is working for my sister? Did she managed to seduce her!!? '
'Wait... If she managed to seduce Scarlett, and then she is seducing me, what does that mean? And Scarlett is still dating Ashely too... But, this could also mean that Scarlett is using Serena to seduce me,'
' Ahhh!!!! This is so frustrating!!! Anyway... I will save her number first or else, she will bother me for the rest of the month.
After that, I reply to her message.
: Fine!
Few seconds after that, I received her reply.
"That's fast!!"
Slutty Bitch: Yay!!!
Slutty Bitch: You can wear anything you find comfortable. It doesn't have to be too formal and revealing. Just wear what you want!! I will pick you up that day!!
: hmm
'Is she that desperate for me?' I should bring a few bodyguards on that day. I frown again and choose to ignore her. After that, no matter how long It takes, she didn't reply to me for the rest of the day.
Until I got home, I didn't even get any new message from her.
"... usually, a desperate person will text a lot to her crush or lover... Is she not desperate enough for me'? Dammit!!
I quickly look through my past conversation with her on my phone.
"It's short and straight to the point!! Aside from her calling me baby, there is nothing like her flirting or saying sweet words.
I lie on my bed with my stomach facing down while staring at the phone screen again before closing the screen. When the screen turns black, I buried my face in the pillow.
'Ughhh She is bothering my mind!!! I can't stop thinking about her!!! ' I grumbled in the pillow and stay in the position until I heard knocks outside the door.
"Miss Hazel, your parents are calling you to eat together"
I didn't bother to reply as I get up from the bed. When I open the door, the maid has already gone. I don't mind as this is normal. I don't bother to talk to them unlike my parents and my sister.
I just don't like to socialize.
When I reached the dining table, my parents are waiting for me. I realized that there's one more person here.
"You're home". I look at Scarlett who is sitting opposite of me.
"Yes". She replied shortly.
'I don't know why, but after her birthday party last time, she suddenly changed her personality to 180°. She wanted to live alone, and she suddenly wanted to involve herself with the company work. Even her attire and she no longer loves Cyrill, the man she is obsessed with for as long as I can remember. Shockingly, she suddenly said that the person she actually fell in love with is her rival in love, Ashely Ryan!!'
'And a girl at that.' I pick up the food on my plate and chew it slowly. 'I don't think it's disgusting... Just weird. It's not just any girl... It was Cyrill's ex-wife!! Her supposed to be rival in love". When I look up from my plate, I see that Scarlett is also staring at me.
"... What are you looking at?" I frown as I put down the spoon on my hand and stop eating.
".... Nothing..." Scarlett looks down and continues to eat.
I look at her for a few seconds before picking back the spoon.
During the dinner, we rarely spoke about anything. Just from time to time, we did talk about work with my father.
This is also one of the changes that happen to Scarlett. She usually only talk about fashion and the like with her mother, but now, she rarely talks about that and only talks about work.
"That's weird...." I mumble.
"What is weird?"
I look up to see my mother is looking at me. "What?"
"You said something is weird.. was it the food?" My mother asks worriedly.
"Ah.. did I said it too loud just now?"
"What are you thinking? It's rare for you to lose in thought for too long. Is there anything that bothers you right now?"
"Ah... That's not it... Nothing troubling happened... " I give my mom a reassuring smile before continue to take a few more bites.
"I'm finished.. thanks for the food". I was about to stand up when my mother pulls me to sit down again.
"Finished already? But you eat too little today... Tell mother, are you not getting in any trouble?"
"Maybe it's love..." When Scarlett said that, everyone eating movement stop, even father stops eating and look at me.
I look at Scarlett with wide eyes and I feel a loud thump in my chest. ' was what I thought about Serena is true after all??"
Scarlett smiles at mother and father before speaking. " It's just a guess... I also feel like that when I fall in love! Well, I can also guess wrong though.." she replied with a smile.
"Syeez... Scarlett!! Don't scare us like that!!! Hazel is too young to fall in love!!!" Mother wants to slap Scarlett but luckily, they are sitting too far from each other.
"Anyway, I heard you are buying a new car? What for? What kind? For who??" Mother asked that question like a bullet to Scarlett.
She almost choked on the food when the mother asked that question. I even delay my intention to go to my room when I hear my mother's question about Scarlett.
"Ah... It's a gift.. for a friend of mine..." Scarlett reply.
"For the type... It's Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita" Scarlett scratch her head as she looks at her mother's face.
"Really? That's pretty much a great car!! You're not having an affair right? I heard a lot of rumors about you with your secretary!! I hope you don't hurt Ashely's heart!! She is a kind girl!!" Mother warned.
"Hahahahah no no... Don't worry mother!! She is a good friend of mine, and I also owe my life to her!!" Scarlett smiles.
"You owe her your life?" I asked her with one brow raised. 'Is it the person who I think it is?' I frown when I thought about Serena.
"Ah yes!! She is...— "I'm going upstairs!"
I cut her words as I stand up again. I don't want to listen to this answer. I don't want to know... I don't care.
"You are really okay, right?" Father asked.
"It's nothing really... I'm just a little tired, that's all..." I hope everyone will believe this excuse and not prying too much.
"Alright... Go and rest..." Mother gesture for me to go.
"Goodnight!!" And after that, I walk straight to my room upstairs and lie down on the bed again.
I don't know why... I just don't want that person Scarlett said to be Serena. As much as I don't like them... I don't like to be used either. Especially, if that person is Serena William.
"I won't let that slut get into my head!!"
That night, I chant "Serena is a slut over and over again" until I fell asleep.
