NovelEnglishHaving said all they wanted to say before lunch, they were both very quiet at the dining table.
Scarlett found the food pretty enjoyable, but Jared felt as if he were chewing carpet.
He knew very well that Scarlett had not been exaggerating, and that she had just objectively stated the facts.
She had also sensibly protected her rights.
Nowadays many entrepreneurs did not really want to start a business. They just wanted to swindle money under the guise of fund-raising. Scarlett was being really nice to him by not regarding him as one of those people.

Having had her fill, Scarlett put down her knife and fork, glanced at Jared sitting opposite her and said," The Inteindustry is now the most lucrative industry. Countless new apps are being invented on a daily basis, but actually, only a limited few can retain their popularity. The aftermath of the scandal is only one of the hurdles you'll have to face up to in the future. Compared with fussing with this kind of fake data, improving the quality of contents and user experience is what you should do. People care more about how handy the things they pay money for." She seldom spoke so much at a time. Scarlett believed that Jared's team was very promising, and they had developed thefor good reason. It was being pitched at not just women and youngsters but the whole society.
Therefore, Scarlett had held them in high regard at the very beginning, but Jared and his team tampering with the data disappointed her greatly.
She didn't pay all that money for fake fancy data.
In the final analysis, she was a businesswoman who was unwilling to lose money in a deal, and who knew when to do damage control.
"Ms. Reed, I'm really sorry to have let you down. | know it's a lot to ask, but I still want to implore you to give us a second chance. Our team is young, and it's n o uncommon for youngsters to make rash decisions. Also, we failed to deal with the setback in a mature fashion, but | promise it won't happen again. Please believe me." Scarlett smiled, "It's notbut yourselves who can offer you a second chance." She glanced at Jared and picked up her handbag." There's still four months left, and | think we've talked enough for today. Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Lunch's on me." With that Scarlett beckoned the waiter over and paid the check with her credit card.
After walking out of the private room, Scarlett pulled out her cellphone and was just about to call Katherine when she lifted her head and spotted Raymond.
Raymond was probably here to discuss the cooperation. Frank was standing right beside him, wearing a suit, a black trench coat draped over his arm.
Scarlett slightly lifted her eyebrows and withdrew her gaze, having no intention to greet him.
"Scarlett." Raymond walked over to her on his own account.
Holding her cellphone, she raised her head to look at him. "What do you want?" She didn't so much as call his name, for she really didn't want to greet him.
Raymond furrowed his bushy brows. "You don't like Blue Enchantress?" Scarlett knew what he was referring to. "What Blue Enchantress?" "You refused to sign for the roses." Scarlett was momentarily astonished at his words. " You were the one who sentthose roses?" "Yeah," Raymond replied in a deep voice, his face expressionless, his dark eyes fixed on her earnestly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was Scarlett's turn to frown. "Unless I'm very much mistaken, you sentroses because you wanted to chase —— "You're not mistaken. | do want to chase you." Raymond's face remained utterly unchanged when he said those words. It was as if he were talking about the weather or asking her out for dinner.
Even Frank next to them was filled with admiration for Raymond after hearing his words.
He had never seen anybody woo a girl as his boss Raymond did.
Frank felt that his jaw would drop on the spot if Scarlett agreed.
After hearing Raymond's words, Scarlett couldn't help but compress her lips momentarily. Looking at Raymond with a half smile, she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw, but I'm just a pretentious gold digger. I'm far from worthy of you." She paused and then added, "Please do not sendany flowers again. | really don't deserve your affections." She said to him all those words that he had once said t o her.
Having finished speaking, Scarlett unhesitatingly turned around to leave.
But Raymond gripped her wrist, refusing to let her go.
