Yes, Scarlett is sure that she didn't see wrongly, that the beautiful and sexy woman in front of her right now is Selena, Julian's girlfriend who is a super model and famous actress. Not wanting to appear nervous in front of her, Scarlett immediately shook Selena's hand with a fake smile and an equally cold gaze.
"Scarlett," she said, introducing herself.
However, Selena just gave up her position without introducing herself, which made Scarlett want to tear Selena apart even more, but she was still able to hold it in.
It is true that Scarlett admits that even though Kyle and Ben have tried their best to change her, Scarlett's star aura is still the brightest, but Selena is still a true superstar, so of course in terms of her appearance, the difference is very visible.
But Scarlett didn't want to be discouraged, she had to be proud because Julian really brought her here tonight to introduce her as his future wife.
"So this is your future wife, Julian?" Selena asked with a scornful look.
Julian nodded firmly, while Selena kept looking at Scarlett as if she wanted to pout but she tried to hold it in because Julian seemed to understand her bad behavior.
"What do you think?"
"Not bad."
Julian nodded then tried to make small talk with Selena so as not to intimidate Scarlett too much, while Scarlett bit her lip trying to stop herself from throwing a tantrum, the woman was very arrogant, Scarlett wanted to get out of this place immediately before the two of them could count to three.
"So when are you guys going to get married?"
"Next week, that's all Grandma's plan, we're just following it to protect her health."
"Oh, is that true Scarlett?"
Scarlett immediately flinched when Selena suddenly asked her a question.
"That's right, you don't need to worry," Scarlett answered coldly and firmly.
"That's good, I hope you abide by the marriage agreement."
"Yes, I'm aware of myself, Selena. You're still the best in his eyes, is that right, Julian?" Scarlett asked while smiling sarcastically at Julian.
For some reason, tonight Scarlett was hit by very high emotions.
Julian nodded hesitantly while wearing a smile that was so forced, she didn't expect Scarlett to ask him a question like that.
Selena just smiled sarcastically while raising one of her eyebrows, the woman did not show any friendliness at all, instead her arrogance and cold attitude dominated.
As a fellow woman, Selena understands very well the difficult situation that Selena is currently facing, she would probably act the same way if she were in her position, they should not meet tonight, it is not important because it will cause hatred and anger in the hearts of the two women.
So dinner was held in a stiff and cold atmosphere, as cold as the dark, cloudy night air outside, as if indicating that after this heavy rain would pour down at Manhattan and wet it.
In the midst of this awkward atmosphere, the food ordered arrived, the waiter immediately gave the ordered menu one by one.
Roasted watermelon salad, Wagyu beef with sauce and some fresh drinks accompanied the three of them to dinner.
Scarlett, who had been learning table manner for several days and was familiar with several restaurant foods at Grandma Victoria's house, was starting to get used to everything so she wasn't worried about making Julian embarrassed in front of Selena.
"By the way Julian, I've met her, so after this I'm going to an event, I'm not forcing you to come, just stay here with your wife." Selena said suddenly after finishing eating and drinking and wiping her sexy lips with the handkerchief provided.
"Why the rush? I can drop Scarlett off after this and come with you, right?"
"No, this is just Miss Beauty's reunion event, you don't need to worry, after all, no one invited their partner."
"Okay, we'll go home too." Scarlett almost choked, she had just enjoyed her food and Julian had announced that they would be going home soon, this wasn't comparable to the preparations she had made with Kyle and Ben, Scarlett pursed her lips, disappointed.
Nevertheless, what could she do? so she was forced to finish eating and drinking quickly and wiped her lips.
"It's up to you, I'm leaving now, my driver is waiting out front, see you Julian."
Without looking at Scarlett, Selena hurriedly left the luxurious pavilion, her heart aching with disappointment. Selena could feel it.
"Be careful on the road, honey." Julian whispered as if to prevent Selena from leaving, as evidenced by Julian's hand stopping her, but Selena's steps were very fast and hasty.
Just like Selena, Scarlett also felt extraordinary bitterness in her heart when Julian said the word 'honey' in front of her which was not used for her.
"This dinner shouldn't have happened." Scarlett protested angrily.
"But she asked for it herself, I just tried to obey her."
Scarlett smiled faintly when Julian denied it, for some reason her heart hurt even more. So she invited Julian home from that place and he agreed.
All the way home, they were just silent, confused about each other, until they didn't realize that the white Rolls Royce had arrived again at Green Garden so quickly.
Scarlett immediately rushed in and headed for her room, her feelings were raging, she didn't expect to be involved in the love circle of the man she had idolized all this time.
"This is just the beginning Scarlett, you have to be ready to face everything."
I don't know where the whisper came from, what was clear was that the voice sounded very clear to Scarlett's ears, perhaps it was the voice of her own heart trying to encourage her so that she wouldn't be easily vulnerable.
Scarlett then chose to lie down and fiddle with her iOS, but instead she found a photo of Julian and Chloe embracing intimately in a soap opera scene. Julian just uploaded his photo today. took another deep breath.
"Selena, Chloe, who is the other girl after that?" She muttered irritably.
Next week the wedding will start, but for some reason Scarlett seems to want to give up, she already has real feelings for Julian, so of course she will be jealous, but then again Julian is a famous actor, she has to act professionally, what's more, her marriage is just a contract to make Grandma Riana happy.
Dizzy thinking about all the anxiety in her heart, Scarlett chose to sleep, today was very tiring for her.
"No, who are you? Please don't take my father!"
Scarlett immediately woke up gasping for breath, it turned out it was just a new dream. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father," she muttered softly.
For some reason, she remembered her father, even though she only knew her male parents, Scarlett never knew who her biological parents were. Diana and Joshua were the only ones he knew, who took great pains to raise her with love, and suddenly changed since the arrival of Emma and their children.
"Next week I'm getting married, dad should be here with me.."
