What just happened didn't bother Scarlett.
Scarlett cared more about the thing between Jalen and Raymond than the show -off of Luciana, the niece of Brayden.
She meant to ask about the thing at the restaurant, but she didn't because of the sudden appearance of Brayden with Luciana.
The car drove into the villa zone soon after. The narrow passage felt quiet because the two journalists had left.
Raymond stopped the car in front of the villa after a few seconds.
Suddenly, Scarlett's phone buzzed. She received a video from Alexis.
The show named Running Forward they shot in June was scheduled to be on the air next week.
The video was a previewed trailer for the show. There were a few mysterious guests in the video. Their faces had been pixelated. But Scarlett knew exactly who they were.
It had been two months since Scarlett finished the shooting, so she almost forgot it.
Alexis was excited. She sent Scarlett tons of congratulations and praises while Scarlett was still watching the video.
But Scarlett had been used to Alexis' flattering words, so she just sent a 'yes' back with a slight smile.
Alexis' excitement changed into sadness when she didn’t receive as many texts from Scarlett. "How cruel you are! A 'yes' is all you want to say to me. I don't want to talk to you for three days. I am sad."
After sending those words, Alexis sent a bunch of crying emoticons. This time she received two words from Scarlett, "All right.
Alexis felt speechless.
She didn't want to text anymore.
Raymond walked out with two glasses of water as Scarlett texted on the phone, and he passed one glass to Scarlett.
Scarlett took a sip of water while looking at Raymond.
Raymond knew that the second-round attack led by Ryker didn't bother Scarlett, so he didn't ask anymore.
After drinking water, Scarlett looked at Raymond while holding her chin up. "Have you met Jalen before?"
"Yes." Jalen was surprised to hear the question, but he didn't deny it.
He added after pausing for a while, "But I didn't know much about him."
Scarlett burst into a laugh. "Really? But I heard that you were in the same college."
Raymond pursed his lips while looking at Scarlett. "Yes, but I still didn't know much about him."
"He has a sister. Do you know that?" Scarlett asked again.
