The Transmigration Antagonist

Chapter 48: Bored

Actually Scarlett doesn't know what it does there. Frank and Anthony aren't talking about business. Their talk about politics. And don't forget Michelle who also joined Frank and Anthony. Scarlett's like a living statue there. The beautiful woman is a political science graduate, and it seems she wants a career like her father. From what he heard, Anthony wanted to run for governor for the next period.

Scarlett is just a listener and an observer among the three humans that makes her sleepy. Scarlett realizes that Michelle seems to be paying attention to Frank. Who wouldn't be interested in a guy like Frank. Look at the way he looks at Frank. Scarlett is convinced that everyone who meets Frank will fall in love when they first meet. The man had an alluring aura.

But there was one thing Scarlett did not like about the woman in front of her. Michelle blatantly teases Frank by deliberately touching Frank's hand and arm and willfully glances at Scarlett as if to say that Frank will be hers.

Anthony deliberately brought his daughter. He plans to match his daughter to Frank. Scarlett believes she did it to boost her popularity. At least if people knew his daughter was dating one of the Carrington families, it would benefit him to clinch victory in next year's gubernatorial election. Given the Carrington family is very popular and in disdain among the community. So far they have hardly been involved in a scandal.

Scarlett who was getting tired of playing her fingernails, her food was gone. Frank who noticed it laughed in his heart. Scarlett looked cute in her eyes, let alone her slightly raised lips. He wanted to capture it in the form of a photo.

Frank, who was tired of choosing to end their meeting.

"Mr Carrington, if you have free time, my daughter would like to see you again" said Anthony.

"My secretary will preach it later," Frank replied lying. She didn't want to meet Michelle.

Frank grabs Scarlett's hand and takes her out of the restaurant. The two then got into the car that had been waiting for them since. Conscious or not, Frank's hand was still holding Scarlett's.

"Scarlett, if Michelle calls you. Just tell me if I'm busy" Frank said.

"Well sir," replied Scarlett. He was about to tidy up his bangs but his hands were like they were holding him. It seemed that he was also unaware that since then, Frank was holding his hand.

Equally awakened, Frank reflexively lets go of his grasp. Scarlett turned her face away, hiding her blushing face.

*******

Chequek...

The door of Scarlett's room opened making Scarlett focus on the figure of the man standing before her door.

"Alden.." said Scarlett.

"Scarlett, today Frank is not coming. He's got a fever. I bought him some porridge and soup. Can you help me drive him. I can't drive him anymore. I had to take his place at an important meeting this morning" Alden said in a bag filled with food.

"Wasn't Frank okay last night? why can it suddenly hurt, inner Scarlett.

"Scarlett.." call Alden to Scarlett's surprise.

"Ah yes, of course Alden," Scarlett said.

"Thanks, you are indeed a good friend," Alden said.

"One more thing, I almost forgot. Please bring all the files on Frank's desk, including documents you haven't submitted."

Scarlett nodded.

"Thanks Scarlett, sorry to trouble you. I'll go first" Alden said.
