Chapter 63: You’ve Ruin A Gift
(Warning: This Chapter contains a sexual scene. If you’re not comfortable reading it kindly skip it and move to another Chapter)
Eve was right; dancing really helped. She forgot, at least for that moment, those bad memories about love and hatred. She took off her coat, moved her body, and swung her hair without any restrictions.
Her dance enlivened the bar all of a sudden, with more and more people joining in to sway to the music.
A man was pushed forward by the crowd to dance with Scarlett. He and Scarlett danced intimately, touching each other’s shoulders and back and holding each other by the waist. Both Scarlett and the man knew this wasn’t flirting, though– he was gay, and Scarlett was just enjoying herself. There was nothing sexual or romantic about the situation.
After three rounds of dancing, Scarlett felt a bit tired, and she walked down to leave the stage. Eve immediately came to her with two glasses of whiskey-something in her hands. Scarlett was still excited and matched her footsteps to the beats of the drum, “Oh, we got alcohol! Nice!”
Eve pointed to a handsome bartender near the stage and said, “A treat from that hottie.”
“Oh, nice, that dude is straight? Man, I love getting free drinks!”
“You bet!” Eve nodded her head and smiled brightly.
After an enjoyable few hours of dance and drinks, Scarlett and Eve walked out of the bar, and Scarlett waved down a cab because she couldn’t drive after drinking.
“You’re a real buzzkill! Jeez, it’s only 8:30! Why are we going home so early?!” Eve asked Scarlett to stay for a few more hours, but Scarlett turned her down.
“You stay here and party till whenever you want, girl. But I really have to go home now. I’m sorry but today’s just not the day for these shenanigans. I promise, there will be a next time– next time we will paint the town red and drink the night away, okay?” The cab pulled over, and Scarlett said, “Okay, this is me, I’ve gotta go! Thank you for today! See you!”
When the car arrived at Sandler’s villa, Scarlett put on her coat and walked out of the cab. She immediately noticed an intense smell of tobacco and alcohol coming from her coat, so she tried to walk and twirl around a little bit to lighten the smell.
“Has Francis come back?” Scarlett asked the housekeeper cautiously as soon as she stepped into the house.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Yeah, Mr. Sandler came home much earlier today, but he did not come out of the study after dinner.”
Scarlett nodded and handed her coat to the housekeeper and said, “It needs to be dry-cleaned. Thank you!” The housekeeper took the coat, and the smell immediately spread all over. Scarlett felt a bit embarrassed. “Sorry, but could you please keep it a secret?”
“Oh, of course. I’m an expert at keeping secrets! But the thing is, you mustn’t drive after drinking! Next time, I should send someone to pick you up! It’s so dangerous!”
Scarlett shook her head and said, “No, no, don’t worry about me. I would never drive after drinking. I took a cab home!”
Scarlett took her perfume out of her bag and sprayed it all over her body, hoping that the smell of cigarettes and alcohol would finally dissipate. She went upstairs to the study, assuming she would find Francis there. She knocked on the door, but nobody answered, so she just pushed the door open to see that Francis was talking to someone on the phone.

Scarlett entered the room and closed the door behind her. She walked to the trolley with glasses and drinks and poured herself a cup of black tea. Then, she walked over to Francis’s desk with the cup of fragrant tea nestled in her palms.
She listened to Francis talking on the phone and found out that he was discussing a major project that was, in fact, linked to the national government. She didn’t know any details, but she could tell it was a big and profitable deal.
A few minutes later, Francis hung up the phone and turned around to encounter a beautiful woman in a white dress sitting in his boss’s chair, holding a blue and white teacup. She was looking at him with her ravishing eyes.
Francis raised his left arm and took a glance at his watch. “Five minutes to nine. Very well-timed, my dear Scarlett.”
Scarlett curled up in the cozy chair and said, “Of course. I’m not one to be late. You’re always the one who calls the tune, isn’t that right?” Her movements were so natural and graceful that she did not notice at all that her figure under the high slit white dress was killing Francis. He picked Scarlett up and sat on the chair, then placed her on top of his thigh. He touched her slender thighs and began to kiss her neck ferociously.
But from such a distance, he immediately smelled the scent of cigarettes. “Scarlett! I said, no smoking again!” He got a bit pissed off and raised his voice. Scarlett blushed out of embarrassment and said, “Sorry, not again…” Francis was not to throw a tantrum since no man could ever get mad at such an alluring lady. “I’ll let you know the consequences in bed!” Scarlett blushed and put out her hand to cover his lips, “Nasty!”
Suddenly, she heard something tearing and looked down to find her dress was now split open! Scarlett closed her legs and looked at Francis in disbelief. She held her torn dress up and said, “What the hell are you doing? Eve bought me this dress as a present! What’s wrong with you? You’ve ruined a gift!”
“I’m sorry, babe, you’re just so tempting. I just wanted to get you out of that tight dress. Forgive me, babe, I’ll buy you a new one.” Now, Francis’s hands could move smoothly up and down her smooth legs.
Scarlett tried to push him away and stand up, but his strength was really beyond her ability. Francis ironed the folds between her eyebrows with his hands and said, “I’m sorry, babe.”
He didn’t wait for Scarlett’s forgiveness but directly sealed her lips with a passionate kiss and held her close to his body.
