She held a tissue and lowered her head , silently wiping the rain on her body . Lance looked at the thin figure in the back seat through the rearview mirror . In such cold weather , she didn't even wear a coat . She even took a taxi in the rain outside , which made Lance a little curious . " Miss Sales , why didn't Mr. Forrest send you back ? " Hearing the words Mr. Forrest , Scarlett frowned doubtfully . She was now James's woman . She clenched the tissue in her hand and casually pulled it . " I quarreled with him for a while , and he threw me out of the car . " " So that's how it is ," Lance nodded . Seeing her shivering from the cold , he raised the heater and didn't say anything else . The sudden rise in temperature in the car made Scarlett's cold and stiff body gradually warm up . She looked at Lance gratefully and carefully explained , " I had planned to get a taxi , but my phone was dead and the store next to me was shut . I had nowhere to take shelter from the rain , so I was standing at the corner trying to flag one down . I'm really sorry for the inconvenience . " Lance supported his chin with one hand and looked at the embarrassed and uneasy Scarlett in the rearview mirror . He gently comforted her . " It's fine ." Only then did Scarlett relax her whole body . She leaned her head against the car window and closed her eyes tiredly . The warm wind lulled her into a deep sleep , for she was too tired to stay awake . Not long after , the car stopped at the entrance of the community . " Miss Sales , we're here , Lance said without looking back . After waiting for a while , no one responded from the back seat . Only then did Lance turn his head back . When he saw Scarlett leaning against the car window and sleeping soundly , his eyes widened slightly . This woman was audacious ; she had the nerve to sleep so soundly in a stranger's car .

" Miss Sales , we have arrived at your home ." Scarlett was jolted awake . Struggling to open her eyes , she was met with a blur of black shadows , unable to make out anything clearly . She knew that she was caught in the rain and her condition had worsened . Fortunately , her thoughts were still clear . She still remembered that this was Lance's car . She quickly sat up straight and thanked him again in embarrassment . Then , she opened the door and got out of the car . " Miss Sales . " " It's still raining outside . Take it . " Lance stopped her and handed her an umbrella from the back seat . Scarlett saw the symbol of the umbrella and knew that it was worth more than a hundred thousand yuan . She was afraid that she would not have the chance to return it to him after taking it , so she refused softly . " Thank you . It's really close . I will run . over . " Lance was taken aback for a moment . He seemed to be able to read Scarlett's mind from her eyes and immediately tossed her the umbrella . " No need to give it back " Scarlett was a little embarrassed , but seeing that Lance insisted, she had to accept it . " Mr. Jackman , could you please provide me with your contact number ? I'll arrange to return it to you tomorrow . " When Lance heard that she wanted to contact him , the look in his eyes gradually became disdainful .

After taking two steps in the rain , she felt unconvinced and turned back to Lance . " Mr. Jackman , thank you for your generosity in sending me home , but you shouldn't think of me that way . I just thought the umbrella you gave me was too pricey . I was worried I wouldn't have the opportunity to give it back to you , so I declined ." Scarlett spoke without pausing , not paying attention to his expression , and immediately ran into the community . Lance looked at the petite figure and was slightly stunned . He felt that a woman like Scarlett would use every opportunity they could find to get into a rich man's bed .
