Scarlett received his reply.
"I want cream meshed chicken soup."
Scarlett was just cooking soup in the kitchen right at the moment. The smell floated in the air fully showing how delicious the soup would be.
"Was it a coincidence? How did he know that I made soup today?"
She had just posted a soup photo with another Line ID! And he was asking for soup now.
Thinking of staying low, Scarlett dialed Mike's number.
"Mike?"
"Speaking."
He was in an airport, which was quite noisy.
"Are you free?"
"Yes, I am free in the afternoon."
He lied!
Listening to what Mike said, Daniel felt a little upset.
"I happen to have made soup today. Should I bring it to your company?"
"Come downstairs in fifteen minutes. My car is on the way."
"No, he isn't! Mrs. Abraham's current address is in two different directions from the company!"
Daniel secretly complained in his heart. He must admit that his boss' world was too complicated for him.
After hanging up the phone, Scarlett had the soup packed and also took two boxes of desserts she made from the refrigerator.
She was a girl who loved life. Even if she was in difficulties, she would not treat herself badly.
Ever since she was young, no one cared about her except Julia. In such cases, she had learned to take care of herself.
Playing dumb was just a means for survival. In private, she was still very independent and knew how to love herself.
After the divorce, she had been trying hard to adjust her living condition.
Carrying the food box downstairs, she saw Mike leaning against the car, holding a cigarette in his hand. At the sight of her, he put the cigarette out.
He had changed the car into Rolls-Royce Ghost, which was more of a business type compared to the others.
Scarlett opened the door to the passenger seat and got into the car.
"Are you going on a business meeting or something?"
She remembered that he would only ask the driver to drive such business cars when he was going on business engagements. It was written in the instruction.
"No." Actually, he did, but he had made it canceled.
What was more, he also sent the driver and Daniel away.
Scarlett looked at the car as well as his formal suit with curiosity, but she said nothing in the end.
As a rich and willful boss, whatever clothes and car he took, it was all up to him. As an ex-wife, there was no room for her to judge.
The atmosphere in the car was a little tense. Scarlett did not know where he was taking her.
"About the compensation ..." She decided to get straight to the point.
"We'll talk about it later."
Scarlett turned her head to look at the window glass, on which reflected his handsome side profile, perfect and flawless, with a little tiredness.
She could not help but turn her head and look at his profile for a while.
"Did you not rest well?"
"Well, the food in the hotel is terrible, and the bed is not soft enough."
The most important thing was that she was not beside him.
Now, there was a faint fragrance in the car, which made him feel slightly relieved and his words were not so cold.
"In fact, I don't understand the rich like you. You don't care about your health for money. But we make money for a better life, don't we? Look at you. You don't eat on time and don't sleep well. In the end, you make so much money. What's it for?"
"I'm sorry, I've gone too far," Scarlett said, feeling a little awkward.
It was so awkward. What she said was just like the words from a wife complaining to her husband for being busy.
There must be something wrong with her.
Fortunately, Mike did not hold on to this topic. Scarlett even noticed a warm smile flashed in his eyes.
Was she having an illusion?
She was just about to take a closer look when he grabbed the sunglasses and put them on, having all his expressions blocked.
Scarlett couldn't help but complain about the dazzling sunlight outside the car. If it were not for that, he would not have worn sunglasses.
She was very curious about whether it was an illusion or not. She had never seen such a human expression on Mike before.
"Sometimes, we can't decide what we do and what we say when we are in a certain position," He answered seriously.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw her counting with her fingers.
"You have actually said so many words to me in one sentence!" Scarlett found it very surprising today. Mike only talked to her word by word in the past.
Mike didn't know what to say about this, so he turned his head away from her.
Well, that was what Mike should be. Scarlett was relieved.
She was still used to facing the man short-spoken and as icy as an iceberg.
If not, there was a problem.
She thought that he would drive her to the Abraham Group, but the car finally stopped on the mountain in the outskirts of the city. There were a lot of greens on the mountain, surrounded by clear streams.
"I don't know there's such a place in City B," Scarlett jumped off the car and took a deep breath. The air was great.
What she word unexpectedly catered to the environment, while Mike's formal suit was somewhat out of the match.
He then took out the picnic mat and two sets of fishing equipment from the trunk.
They were all new, even the tags were still there.
"Are you going to fish and picnic in this outfit?"
"Why not?" He took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and threw her a set of fishing gear.
"I don't know how to fish. And I want to discuss the compensation with you, seriously."
She was even more confused now.
Mike, who had been on a tiring journey, actually had the mood to buy fishing equipment and went on a picnic.
"You can leave, but tomorrow, the lawyer's letter will definitely be sent to your house."
Scarlett rolled her eyes hearing this.
Game on! She was not afraid!
She pulled out a stool, and then threw the bait into the river, just as he did. The next second, her peep at him made her stand in amazement.
He was standing by the stream, holding a rod in one hand, looking extremely handsome in the sunlight. Holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, he looked totally different from the way in the office. He seemed at ease being here.
Scarlett put down the fishing rod and took out her phone to shoot him a few close-ups. A super handsome man in beautiful sceneries was definitely wonderful material that she didn't want to miss.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring my DSLR camera," She was a little regretful.
"You snapped pictures of me?" He said lazily with a cigarette in his mouth. His tone was quite casual.
"I'm shooting openly! I've studied photography for a year. If it wasn't for marrying you, I wouldn't have transferred to the business school."
Scarlett used to be addicted to photography at a time, and she even secretly applied for the photography major in the university. She was almost beaten to death and was forced to transfer to the business school when Allen found out.
The purpose for the Lauren Group cultivating her was very simple. They wanted her to marry Mike and help the Lauren Group.
The future Mrs. Abraham couldn't be someone addicted to cameras.
"From now on, you can do whatever you want," Mike said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Scarlett was busy taking pictures of him and thus she didn't hear it clearly. To her surprise, he acted quite cooperative and even gave her cool poses.
To Mike, he was satisfied that Scarlett finally found his male charm.
While to Scarlett, she was thinking that she might be able to make a lot of money if those photos were sold to the media.
