NovelEnglishIt had been a long time since the last time Scarlett had stayed up until nearly 2 o'clock in the morning, and it was 10:30 a.m. that she woke up to find that it was full daylight outside.
The curtains slid back automatically. The sky was rather cloudy.
She felt somewhat groggy. It seemed that staying up late was really not a smart thing to do.
Scarlett picked up her cellphone and found that Alexis had sent her a big shiny red heart-shaped emoji something after eight o'clock earlier this morning.
She gave an involuntary smile and sent Alexis an emoji in return.
She thought, "Well, it seems | got up on the right side o f the bed. At noon Scarlett had a simple lunch. She cooked herself some spaghetti at home. After the meal, she went out to watch a movie.

Antony sent her a text message something after 4 p.m., telling her that he would come and pick her up i n two hours.
Scarlett swiveled her head aside and glanced out of the window at the leaden sky before she rose to her feet, intending to get a facial and put on some make-u P- Apart from anything else, she was cooperating with him, which meant that she needed to show some sincerity.
Scarlett had quite some experiences of formal meetings with elders, but none of them had ended well.
All the elders in the Shaw family didn't like her, so her previous experiences of dealing with them wouldn't d o her any good.
Still, she and Antony were not truly dating, which was why Scarlett was not feeling under any pressure.
All she needed to do was act normally and politely. As for what Antony's godmother and the others might think of her, she didn't care.
In case the upcoming dinner was not to her liking, Scarlett had two pieces of toast before leaving.
Antony showed up to pick her up at six o'clock prompt.
Scarlett was clad in a cream Cocanel overskirt, a Alovarance coat and a pair of Lusbiaka sheepskin bootees, carrying a cream Cocanel handbag, wearing light make-up, her lips as rosy as freshly washed cherries.
She had a guileless ladylike air about her, which most elderly people found pleasing.
Antony was also momentarily amazed at the sight of her. Last night she had dressed like a sexy tender mature woman, but now she looked like a winsome young lady.
He was surprised that the two entirely different dressing styles both suited Scarlett so well.

"You look gorgeous." He pulled the car door open and, putting his hand over Scarlett's head, invited her to get inside.
A smile touched Scarlett's lips. "Thanks. | hope your godmother likes me." "She likes good-looking people." Scarlett flicked Antony a bland glance, making no response.
The black Benz sedan slowly drove out of the mansion. Half an hour later, it halted in front of a white residence.
"Here we are. Are you nervous?" Scarlett unfastened her seat belt and glanced sideways at Antony. "Would you think me slack if | say no?" Antony was momentarily confused before he caught o n and chuckled, "I much prefer your honesty to your dedication." With that he walked to the other side of the car and pulled the door open for Scarlett.
Scarlett followed him to the front door of the mansion. Shortly after the doorbell rang, a middle-aged man trotted out to open the door.
"It's me, Alfred." "Oh, Antony! This is your girlfriend, right? She's stunning!" Antony made no reply to that. He just introduced the man to Scarlett. "This is Alfred, my godmother's butler. He's been working here for over thirty years." He then said to Alfred, "Alfred, this is Scarlett. She's my girlfriend." Scarlett smiled politely, "Nice to meet you, Alfred." Alfred was very happy. "Nice to meet you too! Come on in! She's been waiting for you guys for quite some time!" Antony nodded, glanced at Scarlett standing beside him and said, "Let's go inside." Given that the woman was Antony's godmother, she was definitely no common person.
