Scarlett wore a casual dress today. The two were walking together, and they looked like a college couple on their vacation.
The girl was pretty and the guy was handsome. When the two came out of the elevator, people all subconsciously looked at them.
Some thought there might be a film crew filming nearby. They looked around and waited for quite a while but found not any crew. Raymond and Scarlett walked afar. Then people realized that the two were just passersby, but had gorgeous looks.
Scarlett hadn't played billiards in a long time. Alexis loved playing billiards in middle school. They used to play billiards after school at the grocery store behind the school. They would each buy a drink. And they wouldn't go home for supper until it was dark.
Scarlett and Alexis were both pretty girls. The grocery owner liked them. They used to spend no more than three dollars a day, but a lot of other students followed them there. And they would buy snacks.
Literally, Scarlett and Alexis brought a lot of business to the store. So the owner welcomed the two girls very much. Later he even treated them to drinks for free. He liked to have them play billiards in his store.
Justin's family was not rich. He did homework for many of his classmates and they paid him five dollars each time. There were a few rich kids at school and they often asked Justin to do their homework. After school, Scarlett and Alexis went to play billiards, and Justin would go with them. He would do his "part-time job" aside.
Alexis actually sucked at playing billiards, and Scarlett had to slow down every time.
"What are you thinking about?" Raymond asked.
Then Scarlett snapped back to her senses. She collected her thoughts and smiled at Raymond, "I just remembered when I used to go to play billiards with Alexis and Justin."
Time flew. It had been more than a decade. All three of them had accomplished something. They had all made some achievements.
Raymond waved his cue, "When did you learn to play billiards ?"
"In middle school."
Raymond looked at her, tenderness in his eyes, "Baby, you must be a good player.”
Now in the billiards room, it was just the two of them. But it was a public place after all. Scarlett blushed when she heard Raymond call her "baby" all of a sudden.
But she kept her composure. She looked at Raymond and smiled, "I’m just OK."
"Then let’s play a game!”
Scarlett stared at him and narrowed her eyes. "How about we have a bet?"
