Waiting

"I'm so sorry, Scarlett!" Cruz didn't see her as his boss but as his best friend this time. He felt sorry for her loss.

"Thank you, Cruz!" Scarlett smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes at all. 

If asked, does she feel sorry for Nicole and Lauren's death? She will answer, not! Because she only felt loss for Nicole's death. As for Lauren, there wasn't even a shred of room in her heart for that evil woman and no remorse for killing her. That lousy woman deserves hell!

"Alright, I'm going to work now. You don't need to bother me with lunch since I plan to finish my work today!" She said,

"Boss, you don't need to rush. The deadline is not today but the day after tomorrow. And, please, don't miss your lunch again, or Aunt Lana will haunt me!" Cruz said worriedly.

Scarlett shook her head, "I have to finish today because I have to take another day off tomorrow!"

"Humph! Another day off!?" asked Cruz, confused.
