"You scared him," Scarlett reminded.
Only then did Raymond reluctantly let go of the boy. But he still would not spare him, "Delete whatever photos you've taken of her."
Now with everyone around them and hearing Raymond’s accusation, the boy's face turned red in embarrassment. But Raymond stood there with persistence, ignoring the persons around them.
Cindy finally figured out what had happened. She walked up to the boy, "Don't take it to heart. My friend i s not a public figure, and they just want to avoid being exposed on the Internet."
"I won't post the photo online," the boy hastily explained.
Then he looked sincerely at Scarlett, "I'm sorry, miss, I will delete the photo now."
Scarlett smiled friendly back, "It's okay if you want to keep it."
The boy hesitated, but when he met Raymond's grim gaze, he deleted the photo.
With the problem solved, Cindy breathed a sigh of relief. She took a look at Raymond, and then she noticed that Alexander had also come along. She was
a bit confused, "Why are you guys here, Alexander?"
She hadn't invited them.
Giving Raymond a sideway glance, Alexander replied with a meaningful smile, "Then I must ask you why you didn't invite us while you've asked Scarlett to come.”
Cindy had always been afraid of Raymond, but she found Alexander easier to get along with. At Alexander's question, she grimaced and answered," You two could not possibly like taking photos, do you?
I didn't even ask my own brother to come!"
While they were talking, Alexander saw that Raymond had gone to Scarlett’s side.
Although the two of them didn't seem very intimate in public, Alexander had noticed that Raymond could not take his eyes off Scarlett from the beginning.
Wow, another way of displaying affection then. Alexander just felt overwhelmed by Raymond's being s o obsessed. Fine, out of sight, out of mind. Alexander decided to leave them alone. "Hey, let us have some fun if you have enough of your photos," he said to Cindy.
What could Cindy do since Alexander had asked so cheekily?
Seeing that Cindy didn't refuse his request, Alexander suggested, "Come on, Scarlett, Raymond, let’s take a photo with Cindy!"
Exchanging looks with Raymond, Scarlett walked up t o Cindy with a smile, "No problem."
Raymond followed her and stood between her and Cindy without hesitation.
Clearly he didn’t pay attention to getting the best group formation. Feeling a bit awkward, the photographer pointed out, "Well...I advise that the beautiful lady stands by Cindy's side."
It was really hard to get a good group photo with Raymond, a tall man, standing at the wrong place so obstructively.
