Chapter 7 - SCARLETT'S HOPE

It turned out that Scarlett's suspicions went far, she immediately knew who the person was contacting Julian when the man who would become her husband laughed while saying the name 'Chloe'.

Scarlett remembered something that Julian was starring in a new series which this past week had been at the top of the ratings, and that woman was Julian's co-star as his female PU, Chloe Isabella Whitmore, a mixed Indonesian - Australian woman who was so beautiful and charming, she was still young, two years younger than Scarlett.

Julian and Chloe have been involved as a couple in several series titles and they are always successful in making all the viewers and their fans excited.

Even a few days ago, Scarlett still really idolized Chloe, but what's wrong with her today? There was anger that she couldn't express, Scarlett was jealous.

This made Scarlett suddenly short of breath, this was just the beginning but Scarlett was already being made dizzy by several beautiful women around Julian. She then tried to control her expression when Julian returned to him.

"Jonathan has arrived, let me take you to the front."

Julian's voice sounded soft and full of 'romantic', Scarlett became nervous again. Especially when Julian stretched out his smooth, white hand towards her. It made Scarlett very nervous, she was hesitant to accept the hand but Julian, who felt he didn't have much time, immediately grabbed it and took her hand.

Scarlett just remained silent without saying a word while holding Julian, whether she should be happy or what kind of expression, Julian was a very unpredictable person, sometimes he looked romantic but also sometimes he seemed very indifferent to her.

Scarlett still can't understand Julian's true character. It's clear that Julian is different from the figure she knows in front of the TV screen who always appears kind like an angel, but it seems like he's only maintaining his good image as a famous actor.

"Tell Grandma that I have to go back to the shooting location. We'll talk about everything tomorrow afternoon, my schedule tomorrow is a bit loose."

Scarlett just nodded, then she got into the white Rolls Royce, while Julian headed to his orange McLaren super car.

On the way home with Jonathan, Scarlett was silent, she was so awkward, even though in her heart she really wanted to ask why the car that was made to pick her up looked like it was still very new, different from the car that she was riding in this afternoon with Jane.

"Scarlett, I'm Jonathan, Julian's personal driver and equipment assistant," said Jonathan suddenly.

Scarlett was a bit surprised, she didn't expect Jonathan to invite her to chat and introduce himself to her.

"Ok Jonathan, nice to meet you," replied Scarlett very awkwardly.

The reason was that she was alone with Jonathan, even though Scarlett did not choose to sit next to Jonathan in the front seat.

"After you marry Julian, I will be your personal driver too, so don't hesitate to ask for my help," he explained again with a friendly chuckle.

Scarlett just nodded and agreed.

"You know? Grandma just bought this car today. She fulfilled her promise that if Julian wants to marry the woman of her choice, she will gift you this luxury car," he said again enthusiastically.

Scarlett just nodded and laughed a little at what Jonathan said. Even though in her heart she was very shocked because she knew that there were only a few high-class artists who could afford a car at this fantastic price. 

"You are very lucky, Scarlett."

"Yes, Jonathan, thank you," replied Scarlett again.

When she said that, she had arrived at the towering iron gate of Grandma Victoria's house. Not long after, security hurriedly opened the gate, then Jonathan parked the white Rolls Royce in the super spacious garage lined up with Ten or more other luxury cars.

Scarlett just found out that they had a lot of cars, she then went into the main door of Grandma Victoria's house herself because Jonathan had left again in another car, following Julian to the shooting location.

"Welcome Miss Scarlett, what would you like?" said the female servant which immediately shocked Scarlett, she wasn't used to it like that.

When she was at home, whether Scarlett came home or not, no one even cared, let alone being greeted as friendly as she was now.

"Um, no, thank you. I just wanted to ask if Grandma Victoria was asleep?" Scarlett replied.

"Yes Miss, Grandma Victoria is just resting after dinner and taking medicine."

"Okay, thank you waiter. I'll go to my room and clean up."

The maid nodded and bowed respectfully, then invited Scarlett to climb the stairs that led to her room.

In the room, Scarlett immediately threw herself on the super bed which was very soft for her. She unwinded, then rushed to the bathroom and immediately cleaned herself.

When she came out of the shower and approached the white cupboard beside her bed, she was shocked. Several new and nice clothes for her were neatly arranged and it was very complete, even underwear was available.

Until Scarlett asked herself who had prepared all this for her.

But she guessed that this was all Grandma Victoria's order, it couldn't be Julian.

Scarlett smiled happily as she grabbed a rosegold satin pajama set that looked very luxurious on her.

She swayed in front of the large mirror attached to the white cupboard very happily. Scarlett looked very beautiful in that suit, a happy smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face, causing dimples which made her even more beautiful and sweet.

This was the first time Scarlett had a really nice nightgown, usually she would wear a very ugly t-shirt and trousers to sleep in, but tonight she was like a princess with all the luxury surrounding her.

Scarlett couldn't stop being grateful, she then took the mukenah which was also new in the cupboard. She always remembers her late mother's message not to leave prayer wherever she is.

After praying, suddenly her cell phone rang, she forgot that Julian had given her the cell phone this afternoon, so she immediately checked in her bag.

It turned out to be Julian, Scarlett hurriedly answered the call.

"Hello, what's wrong Julian?"

"Have you arrived home yet?"

"Yes, I've even cleaned myself and prayed," answered Scarlett again.

"That's good then, is Grandma sleeping yet?"

"Yes, but I haven't checked in Grandma's room myself, the maid told me earlier. I'll check after this."

"No need, just rest."

Scarlett smiled, for some reason she was very happy when Julian said that in such a gentle tone.

"Okay," Scarlett answered awkwardly.

After that, Julian said he would take it again and the phone line was cut off.

Scarlett pranced happily, even though the points that had been underlined with a red pen in the marriage agreement letter had come back to haunt her.

Scarlett didn't care, she was sure it was just a document that could change due to a process.

Yes, she still hopes that one day Julian will love her and consider her as a real wife and not just for the role.

"It's not that I want to break my promise Julian, but I'm sorry if I'm starting to feel comfortable with you," she thought.
