Busy Forgetting Me
Scarlett’s eyes flashed and shifted to Sammy instinctively. She thought Sammy would defend her, but
he didn’t. She assumed a sulky air. “Apologize? So easy. I’ll do it!”
With that, she stood up and walked to Gloria’s office.
Though nervous, she knocked on the door.
Scarlett appeared flustered, but she tried to collect herself, pushed the door, and walked in
Gloria was the only one in the office She sat before the computer and handled her business. Upon
Scarlett’s arrival, she said with a calm expression “What is it?”
Her voice sounded peaceful, and she didn’t give Scarlett cold shoulders because of what happened
before.
That was her style. She could remain indifferent on any occasion
Scarlett felt relieved inside. She stuttered out, “l-I am here to apologize.’
Gloria raised her eyebrows without saying a word. Scarlett continued awkwardly, “I was out of line to
speak ill of you. Please don’t bother yourself arguing with the likes of me.”
Gloria sized her up and down and said calmly, ‘I didn’t take it personally. I won’t pursue that matter as
long as you focus on your work.”
Scarlett looked at her with a surprised look “Really?”
“Sure.” Gloria looked calm. “Anything else?’
Scarlett was stunned She thought Gloria would reproach her but Gloria even didn’t mention it.
She came back to her senses as it was strangely silent in the office. Then she shook her head
awkwardly.
‘No. No.”
Gloria nodded, didn’t say another word but continued working.
Scarlett stared at Gloria for a while. Only when she made sure that Gloria didn’t want to pursue that
matter
did she leave.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she walked to the door. Fortunately, Gloria forgave her.
Other lawyers looked at the smile on her lips, knowing that Gloria didn’t pul Scarlett on the spot. Kaylee
smiled, “You see, now you feel much more relaxed, right?”
Scarlett nodded subconsciously. ‘You’re right!”
Two peaceful days had passed. Jennifer’s father broke off the business marriage with the Turner family
and
announced it on Twitter. The matter was now closed.
Rebecca vanished after it was handled. Gloria was puzzled, but she decided to leave Rebecca in
peace.
As the time sped by, it was about Karen’s birthday.
Gloria had prepared a gift and called Karen a day ahead of her birthday
Karen answered it instantly with a joyful voice, “Girl! I thought you’d forgotten me!”
Gloria hastened to explain, “How could I forget you? I’ve been too busy lately, Grandma.”
“Humph, busy forgetting me, right?”
“Grandma, no more joking. I’m going to visit you. Are you at home?”
“Sure. I’m waiting for you at home all the time. When will you get here?”
Gloria cracked a smile. “In an hour and a half.”
“Alright, I’m waiting right here for you. Stay for lunch!”
Gloria hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile, “Okay.”
Then She hung up the phone and went to the Collins mansion with the gift.
Though…
She was reluctant to set foot in that place. Her only reason to go there was Grandma, who was
considered her family by her, so she had to go.
As scheduled, she arrived there in an hour and a half.
