Pampered by the Demon

Scarlett whispered as she secretly tugged at Mike.

“Is it because the price is too high and it is going to close down?”

Hearing this, the foreman barely kept a smile.

Mike cooperated with her in a good mood.

“Well, maybe.”

“You see! The charges are unreasonable here. Any steak is labeled a few thousand that is probably enough to buy a cow. Let’s go somewhere else. Have you ever heard of…”

She lowered her voice and he immediately turned his head slightly to let her stick close to his ear.

“The worse the business is, the easier it is to kill customers. Think about it, we will definitely get scalped here!”

It was already difficult for the foreman to maintain his smile.

Mike turned so happy because of her words.

“You can’t spend so much money like this. We’re already so familiar with each other. I really can’t bear to see you being ripped off.”

“Yes, I will pay attention next time.” Scarlett was so cute today that even he could not help but cooperate.

Hearing their chatting, the foreman became even more stiff.

Mike pulled the chair away for Scarlett and handed her the menu.

“Why is the price so expensive when you have no guests? Is there a discount?” Scarlett asked the waiter seriously.

The waiter looked at Mike awkwardly and immediately understood when he received Mike’s gaze.

“Give you a 20% discount?”

“It’s still expensive. How about a 80% discount?”

Due to the strong pressure from Mike, the waiter could only give Scarlett a bright smile.

“I’ll give you a 90% discount and free red wine. How about it?”

Scarlett then smiled brightly.

The waiter thought.

Although the food was not very appetizing, Mike was pleased because of Scarlett.

After coming out, Scarlett was also satisfied, “I wonder if I can get such a low discount in the future.”

At this time, she did not realize that she was getting further and further away from the gentle and noble woman that the Lauren family had nurtured for many years.

How could a noble lady be complacent about this little bit of profit?

However, Mike liked it.

“As long as you come, you can get the discount.”

From then on, she would get a 80% discount in all the high-end restaurants of City B. And she didn’t discovered the truth until a long time later.

It was cold on the mountain at night.

When Scarlett and Mike came over, there were already a couple of Astronomy enthusiasts with various equipment.

He parked the car, and Scarlett set up the photography rack, quietly waiting for the meteor shower.

Mike watched her skillfully adjust the camera. Accompanied by the sound of insects on the mountain, her slender body blended with the thick night, but he could see her presence at a glance.

“I grew up in the countryside where I could see the sky full of stars when I looked up. It was especially beautiful. Cities are now heavily contaminated. Even when I looked at the stars on the mountain, I felt like they were covered in a veil.” Scarlett sighed.

The beautiful scenery would always make people feel emotional.

She did not expect his response, but she heard him say, “I have seen it. It is beautiful.”

The last word was directed at her. Scarlett felt shy and didn’t know whether he was talking about the scenery or her.

She unscrewed the cup and tried to use water to dilute the heat.

When they were not full of anger, Mike’s eyes were so deep that they seemed to suck people’s souls away.

“How could you see that? Haven’t you been receiving elite education in the Abraham family all the time?”

“When I was young, my health was poor. My family sent me to the countryside to recuperate for a period.”

The atmosphere was so good tonight that he recalled some past events.

“Right. You said it last time but I forgot. With your personality, it’s hard to make friends in the countryside, right? Are there any kids throwing sand at you?” She teased.

What she got was his proud snort and another flick on her forehead.

“All day long, you are silly.”

“Are you angry because I’m right? And don’t keep flicking my forehead.

What if I become a fool?”

“You’re a fool to begin with. When I was in the countryside, a silly girl like you stuck to me every day.”

“Really? Who was willing to? Did she get frozen because of your coldness?”

Scarlett felt that he must be a small iceberg when he was a child.

He snorted and felt depressed. He flicked her round forehead a few times before he calmed down.

“I didn’t pop out from the crack in the stone either, and I also had childhood memories.” Mike thought.

Scarlett felt that Mike did not look like a ruthless capitalist tonight, but like an old friend for many years when they talked about the childhood.

“Then do you still have contact with your friends from the countryside? Where is the silly girl now?” Scarlett was a little sad.

After she was taken back to the Lauren family, she had written a letter to her friends in the countryside for the first year and then cut off contact with them.

“She is married.” Mike looked at her and said slowly.

Scarlett felt that when Mike talked about the silly girl, he was especially human.

He was like a young boy.

“Is that your first love?”

“Yes.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“First love is very beautiful, especially that kind of ignorant feeling where nothing happened but everything happened. But things and people will change when growing up. We will always inadvertently lose something.”

Scarlett thought of Richard. She understood many things after a few meetings with him.

There were some things that only existed in memories and would never come back.

“Deep sentiment?”

Of course, he knew that her nostalgic expression was not for him, so he was a little jealousy.

Scarlett felt his change. She looked at Mike in confusion and wondered why he would become so cold in such a short time.

Before she could think it over, the crowd nearby suddenly cried out in alarm. A shooting star crossed through the dark quickly.

There were more and more shooting stars with long, translucent tails in the air, which were kept in her camera.

Mike behind her, however, had fixed her serious and focused look in his heart forever.

Scarlett took a few photos of the spectacular and beautiful shooting stars. Suddenly, she turned the camera around.

“Seeing such a beautiful starry sky, what kind of expression does Mike look like?” she wondered.
