Today was not Friday, nor was it the weekend, so everyone still had to go to the company tomorrow.
However, the guests were all rich or company executives, and they actually didn't care about being late. Scarlett was used to sleeping early, she was already a little sleepy.
So Raymond held her hand and found Jake to explain the situation, then they left.
Cindy was just an ordinary worker, not like those people, so she couldn't be late. Right after that, she went home with Stephen.
On the way back, Scarlett leaned against the window and almost fell asleep.
Usually, at about ten o'clock, she was already in bed, and at about ten thirty, she fell asleep. A little later, at eleven o'clock, she was definitely asleep.
Tonight, it was nearly eleven o 'clock when they left, naturally, Scarlett was sleepy.
Raymond slowly drove the car into the garage, parked it, and unbuckled the seat belt. He did not wake Scarlett up, but directly got out of the car and walked to Scarlett's side. After opening the car door, he just leaned down and met her smiling eyes.
He stared at her, "Awake?"
Watching him unbuckling her seat belt, Scarlett hummed lightly, "I didn't fall asleep."
She just closed her eyes for a while to rest but didn't fall completely asleep, so she woke up fully when he got out of the car just now.
"Hmm."
Raymond simply replied but did not give up the idea of holding her, so he bent down and picked her up.
Scarlett raised her hand and hooked his neck, allowing him to carry herself upstairs.
She was quite sleepy just now, but when she was at the home, she didn't feel that sleepy anymore.
She didn't have much appetite tonight and did not eat anything at Jake's birthday party. No sooner had she sat down than her stomach began to growl.
Scarlett felt embarrassed, lowered her head to sip the rim of the cup, and looked at Raymond. Seeing him looking at her, she immediately raised her head to meet his gaze and honestly said, "I'm hungry.”
After all, she couldn’t control it.
Raymond unbuttoned the first button on the collar of his shirt, then walked over to her and asked, "What do you like?"
"Just something simple."
