Since he already put it like that, Sonia knew that she should behave. No matter what, she should not make Ryan angry.
She could only say with indignation,
"She said that she was going to come here to pick you up. Why isn't she here now?" Sonia asked Ryan.
"She'll be here. Let's wait!" Ryan said. He trusted in the fact that Scarlett was head over heels in love with her. She was definitely going to come.
******
Scarlett rushed to the airport. Because she had a hard time picking out what she was going to wear, she was already quite late. She was scared that Ryan was going to leave without waiting for her, and so she ran all the way to the departure. She would rather not make Ryan angry if he comes out and finds out that she did not come after all!
Because she was running in a crowded airport, she could not help bumping into some people along her way.
"Sorry, sorry" she kept apologizing along the way.
Scarlett was still running when she bumped into a man dragging two bags along with him.
The both of them ended up falling to the ground.
She was pissed off. She was already quite late, why did this have to happen?
"I'm sorry!" Scarlett apologized to him, she attempted to get up, but someone held back her hand and stopped her from leaving.
Kyle was leaving the airport after his long flight when someone bumped into him. He was furious. He was already in a bad mood. His father had forced him to leave the Army and come back home. He still did not know what he wanted to talk to him about, but he could not say no, and so he had to come.
He was still upset about this when someone walked into him.
The woman gave him a half-hearted sorry, and she tried to walk away.
Kyle was angry. How dare she walk away after she bumped into him?
Who does she think she is?
Actually, he was just looking for someone to vent his anger out on.
"Hey, do you have eyes on top of your head? This is the airport? Why are you running?" Kyle asked her. His tone was very unfriendly. He was angry, after all.
Scarlett was pissed off that the man wasn't letting off of her after she already apologized, but since it was her fault, she could not snap at him. She could only put up with it and apologize to him again.
"I'm genuinely sorry, I'm rushing. I was supposed to pick up my boyfriend, but I'm a little late I'm afraid that he would have left, so I'm rushing!" Scarlett said.
Kyle scoffed. He stopped listening immediately after he heard her mention a boyfriend. Is she showing off the fact that she is dating and that she has a boyfriend?
"Half of the people here are to pick up their loved ones. You are not the only one with a boyfriend. How can you run like this in an airport? Are you showing off the fact that you are dating? Society is a mess because of people like you!" Kyle said.
Scarlett was angry. She did not even know this man. She did not understand why he was being so mean to her. Likewise, she just bumped into him and she already apologized! What's the big deal? What has society got to do with this? She came to pick up her boyfriend,, so what's the big deal?
"What are you talking about? Society is a mess? How can you be so mean? Do you even know what it's like to miss a loved one? I haven't seen him for a long time!" Scarlett said. She was so angry with this person.
Kyle knew that he was being petty right now, but he really could not control himself. After all, he was forced to leave the army to come back to this city that he wanted to stay away from. How can he not overreact when someone provoked him the second he got here?
"I'm the mean one? Do you even realize that you are being inconsiderate right now? You are not the only one who is missing someone! Other people have family members and loved ones that they are missing. Why do other people have to give way for you?" Kyle asked her.
Scarlett really did not know what she was supposed to say to this man. She had grown up having people suck up to her because of her father… Having someone tell her that people don't have to give way to her, she really did not know what to say to him.
Kyle looked at the face of the woman, she was pretty… Too bad she was such a clueless idiot. Running around in the airport like a kid! How stupid!
Scarlett saw that the man was looking at her face,, and so she decided to take a good look at him. She was stunned when she saw his face.
He was really...
Handsome….
Being the daughter of the rich Billionaire in the country, she had seen a fair share of handsome men. She thought that there was no one who will be able to make her stunned.
Besides, she was dating Ryan. His looks weren't average.
But looking at this man, Scarlett was stunned.
He was a different kind of handsome. He did not have that boyish handsome look that Ryan had.
Rather, there was an air of maturity to him. His face screamed of maturity and handsomeness.
Scarlett was really taken aback. How can someone be so good-looking?
Kyle was surprised when the woman wasn't saying anything to him, he saw, that she was looking at his face.
Kyle was even more pissed.
"Are you done looking? Be careful not to drool!" He said, breaking into her thoughts.
Scarlett removed her eyes from him, damn it! She was caught staring at a man so intently.
Scarlett immediately thought, "He has such a wonderful waste, but his mouth is as terrifying as it can get! What a waste!"
Kyle was getting frustrated standing with this woman. He rolled his eyes and walked away, dragging his luggage with him.
Scarlett only snapped out of her thoughts when she saw the man walking away.
Ever since she started dating Ryan, she has never as much as given another man a second glacé, but she got carried away staring at the face of this man… what is wrong with her?
Scarlett remembered that she was here to pick someone up, and she immediately walked away.

Sonia was already getting frustrated. "Clearly, she would rather not come. Anyway, why will the daughter of a billionaire come here to pick us up? She has already been used to people waiting on her. Of course, she's not going to care about the both of us. Let's just leave!" Sonia said.
She did not say it, but she was happy that Scarlett did not show up after all. If Scarlett was here, she woke to be able to spend time with Ryan. If is she did not show up, she could go to Ryan's place and spend time with him….of course that would be great. She had to convince Ryan to leave so that the both of them could be together without disturbance from that woman!
"Let's just leave, Ryan. She clearly isn't coming. Can't you see for yourself?" Sonia asked him.
Ryan pursed his lips. He was clearly upset. He said that she was coming, then why did she not show up? Did something happen to her?
"Let's just wait for a bit. You know how Scarlett is. If she says that she is coming,, then she is definitely going to come. Maybe something held her up" Ryan said. He would rather not leave without seeing Scarlett come to pick him up like she said that she would.
Sonia was angry when she heard this. She could see that Ryan was upset. She had been with him for so long. Of course, she could tell when he was upset. Why would he be upset that Scarlett did not come to see him? Didn't he deny having any feelings for Scarlett? Didn't he say that she is the one that he loves? Then why would he be mad when she doesn't come to pick him up? What kind of plot twist is this?
"So what if she doesn't come? It's clear that she doesn't think much of you. After all, she is the daughter of a billionaire, and you are just running a small company, of course she is not going to pay attention to the both of us." Sonia said.
She really hated the fact that Scarlett could get everything without having to work for it, just because she had a rich father. She had everything delivered to her on a platter of gold because of her father. It's all because of her father that she is dating Ryan now. She really hated Scarlett for that!
