Chapter 63 She was the epitome of virtue.
After leaving the Hodges Family Group, Scarlett Adler drove straight back to herpany.
Honestly, for her, driving was not as convenient as taking a taxi. Not being able to sleep was quite a pain.
After parking the car in the parking lot, there was still a distance to walk to get upstairs.
As Scarlett walked, she suddenly felt someone was following her.
Looking back, she found no one behind her.
She looked carefully, but the parking lot was empty.
She frowned and continued walking.
Once she entered the elevator, a ck figure emerged from behind a corner…
Back in the programming department, East Hayes immediately came over. “Boss, do you have time tonight?”
Scarlett looked at him. “What’s up?”
“My sister said she wants to meet you.”
“Meet me for what?” Scarlett frowned, feeling puzzled.
“You’re her savior, of course she wants to meet you.”
“I’m the savior, what are you then?” Scarlett retorted.
“That’s different!” East said.
“No, thanks.” Scarlett refused. She couldn’t stand or get used to being in situations where people were grateful to her.
Scarlett Adler frowned. “But it’s her birthday today, and she only has this one birthday wish. If you don’t go, what am I supposed to tell her?”
Scarlett was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Hearing this, she didn’t know what to say.
“Boss, just go and see her, please. I promise it won’t take up too much of your time,” East said.
Just then, Ethan and Brent appeared. “Yeah, Ms. Adler, please go. East’s sister is a lovely girl and always talks about you. Just fulfill the little girl’s wish.”
“Yes, yes, the little girl said she’s wanted to meet you for a long time.”
Looking at the two of them, Scarlett thought for a moment. “Alright, you guyse with me too.”
“Us? What are we going to do there?” Ethan and Brent asked almost in unison.
Scarlett smiled slightly at them. “It’s a birthday, isn’t it? Of course, we’re going to throw a birthday party.”
East looked at Scarlett. “So, you’re saying you’ll go?”
“Let’s get one thing straight. If anyone dares to say anything like ‘thank you’ or ‘grateful,’ I’m leaving immediately,” Scarlett said.
“I promise, I won’t say a word,” East Hayes said, shaking his head firmly.
Scarlett Adler reluctantly agreed.

After East Hayes walked away, Scarlett called Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter aside.
“I need you guys to buy something.”
“Buy what?”
“Food, drinks, games, whatever a little girl might like,” Scarlett said.
“Should I order online and have it delivered to the hospital?”

“Sure, that works.”
“I’ll take a look and buy something then.”
Scarlett looked down and tapped on her phone a few times. Soon after, Ethan’s phone buzzed. “Count me in,”
she said.
Ethan looked at Scarlett. “Ms. Adler, I know you’re rich, but I can handle this.” He immediately sent the money
back to Scarlett.
“Okay, then I’ll treat you to a meal,” Scarlett said.
Hearing this, Ethan and Brent’s eyes lit up. “Well, in that case, we won’t hold back,” they replied.
“You don’t seem like the type to be polite,” Scarlett said.
“Ms. Adler, you tter me,” Brent replied.
After a bit of teasing, Brent and Ethan walked away.
Scarlett was about to put down her phone and start working when she noticed the newly added Tiana Young.
Considering Tiana’s personality, she should dislike her, so why would she suddenly want to add her on WhatsApp?
Perhaps…
Scarlett clicked on her profile and browsed her posts.
The first thing she saw was a photo of Tiana and Hugo. Hugo was asleep, and Tiana was next to him. The photo was very heartwarming, and the caption was touching.
The background wasn’t clear, but the photo and words were full of flirtation.
Scarlett couldn’t help but smile.
This must be Tiana’s real intention.
Thinking this, Scarlett mischievously gave the post a like.
Sometimes, helping others is a virtue.
Scarlett felt extremely virtuous.
She then put her phone away and started working.
Her mood wasn’t affected at all by that post on social media.
In fact, she was in a great mood.
After work.
East Hayes ordered a cake and left early.
<Chapter 63 She was the epitome of virtue.
Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter approached her. “Ms. Adler, how are we getting there?”
Scarlett Adler looked at them. “Can you drive?”
They both nodded.
Scarlett Adler tossed them the keys. “Then you drive.”

Looking at the car keys in front of them, Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter opened their mouths in surprise. Eventually, they decided to y rock-paper-scissors to determine who would drive.
Brent Carter won with rock over scissors, happily taking the car keys and heading to the parking garage.
Ethan Underwood, extremely unwilling, went over to negotiate, suggesting they each drive for a portion of the
trip.
While they were chattering away, they arrived at the parking garage.
Scarlett Adler got straight into the back seat of the car.
The two of them looked at her in surprise. “Ms. Adler, aren’t you sitting in the front?”
“I want to take a nap. Be quiet,” Scarlett Adler said.
God knows how excited Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter were.
They could finally show off and enjoy the attention they were about to receive!
The car started.
At first, Ethan and Brent managed to contain their excitement, never imagining they would one day drive a
Phantom.
But as they drove, they couldn’t hold back any longer.
Ethan, sitting in the passenger seat, took many photos.
Brent said, “Take some of me, make them look cool.”
“Will you let me driveter?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Brent replied.
Ethan then cooperated and took a few shots of him.
But Brent was clearly not satisfied. “What kind of crap photos are these? No, retake them.”
“I think they’re pretty good.”
“Good my foot! Are you taking them or not? If not, you’re not driving!”
The two bickered in the front, eventually waking Scarlett Adler.
She looked at them, feeling helpless.
Why did shee with these two?
Looking out the window, she suddenly remembered something when she saw a store. “Pull over to the side of the road up ahead.”
Brent Carter, upon hearing this, immediately signaled and pulled over to the side of the road.
“Ms. Adler, what are you doing?”
Scarlett Adler didn’t reply, she simply opened the car door and got out.
The two men in the car watched as Scarlett Adler entered a gift shop. While they were discussing what she might be up to, they saw her emerge carrying a huge teddy bear.
For some reason, even though Scarlett Adler was a beautiful woman, seeing her carrying a life-sized bear
seemed a bitical.
Perhaps it was because they knew Scarlett Adler’s personality so well that this scene felt out of character.
Ethan Underwood gantly got out of the car to open the door for Scarlett Adler. After she stuffed the bear inside, she got in herself.
“Ms. Adler, is that for East Hayes’s little sister?” Ethan Underwood asked.
“What else would it be for?” Scarlett Adler retorted.
“No, no, it’s very cute!” Ethan Underwood said insincerely.
Scarlett Adler didn’t bother with them. “Just drive, will you?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
