Scarlett smiled at her, "Come on! It's going to get cold later."
Katherine was seen through by Scarlett. She was embarrassed to see Scarlett. She kept her head down and focused on her steak.
After lunch, Scarlett and Katherine parted ways.
Scarlett got no business in the afternoon, so she didn't go back to the office. She bought a bunch of flowers and went back to her villa.
The vases in the house had been empty for a long time, so Scarlett brought back a large bunch of flowers today.
The sunshine was lovely in the afternoon. The air conditioning was turned on. Wonderful piano music filled up the room. Scarlett was sitting on a blanket and arranging the flowers in leisure.
Raymond came up the stairs. He saw Scarlett wearing a dark curry halter dress sitting on the blanket kneeling down and carefully pruning flowers.
Not far from her, the stereoes were playing soothing piano music, and sunlight came through the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprayed a few inches in front of Scarlett.
Raymond stopped at the stairs. From his position, he could only see Scarlett's face from the rght side and her head was hanging down a little.
Scarlett's long hair was casually tied into a braid, with a few strands of hair by her ears. A bunch of yellow roses was scattered around the coffee table. The roses were right next to her face, bringing out her fair skin.
Suddenly Raymond remembered one day about six months after they got married, he went back to the Shaw family residence at about the same hour to get some files. As he walked up to the third floor, he heard something on the balcony. Somehow he walked over and saw Scarlett there with a small watering can, leisurely watering her plants.
Scarlett seemed to like flowers and plants. In the three years since they were married, the third-floor balcony had been turned into a small garden, and Scarlett had planted many potted plants in it, with several roses and daffodils, making the balcony full of vitality.
The housekeeper said Scarlett spent most of her time in the house attending to her flowers. Tiffany once destroyed a pot of her flowers and Scarlett smashed the plucked pot at Tiffany's feet right away. And she warned Tiffany that if she ever touched the flowers again, the pot would be smashed on her.
Afterward, they got divorced. And Raymond found that the plants and flowers were gone from the balcony and the room. The balcony was restored to its original cleanliness and tidiness. But every time he passed by it, he felt that something was missing.
Indeed, something was missing.
