<h4>Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Why Are You Here?</h4>


    Alice Green saw this and hugged him even tighter, "Don’t go."


    Thunder roared, and the rain outside was pouring down.


    Seeing that the petite and slender figure was already at the door, Matthew Saxon finally couldn’t help but ask, "The rain is so heavy outside, and it’s the middle of the night, where are you going?"


    Scarlett Yates didn’t look back, her voice extremely cold, "Young Master, you shouldfort Miss Green well. You don’t need to worry about my affairs."


    She didn’t stay a moment longer, opened the door, and left.


    --


    After three in the morning.


    By this time, most people were already asleep.


    The empty corridor was dimly lit, the lights flickering on and off.


    The window at the end of the corridor was not tightly closed,rge raindrops drifted in from outside, fiercely hitting the ss with a ding-dong sound.


    Lightning shed across the sky, illuminating the ck night.


    Arge mass of thick dark clouds loomed at the horizon. At the moment the lightning shed, it looked like terrifyingrge hands fiercely tearing at the clouds in the night sky.


    Late at night, storm, thunder, an empty corridor, flickering lights, all together created an inexplicably eerie and strange atmosphere.


    Scarlett Yates wasn’tpletely unafraid.


    With head held high and a fierce demeanor, she mmed the door behind her, suddenly realizing the silence around her.


    Dead silence.


    She felt a bit of fear in her heart, but was too proud to show it. After taking a few deep breaths, she pretended nothing was wrong and continued walking forward.


    Although most people were asleep at this time, the hotel’s front desk still had staff on duty.


    She remembered there was a 24-hour convenience store next to the hotel.


    Her head was still dizzy from the alcohol, and she indeed needed to drink something to refresh herself.


    She took the elevator to the first floor.


    The lobby was brightly lit, as bright as daylight, and the two staff members at the front desk were resting their heads on the table.


    With some other people around, Scarlett Yates felt less afraid.


    She turned and headed towards the 24-hour convenience store.


    She thought at this time, besides the staff, there wouldn’t be anyone else in the store, but as soon as she walked in, she saw a familiar figure.


    Scarlett Yates almost turned around to leave.


    But as she hesitated, the shop assistant smiled and greeted her, "Miss, may I help you with something?"


    The shop assistant’s voice wasn’t loud.


    But in the extremely quiet night, it was hard not to be noticed.


    The familiar white figure by the window slowly turned his head.


    Handsome eyes and refined eyebrows, warm demeanor, like a luminous jade.


    "Scarlett." A hint of a delighted smile spread across the person’s face, their eyes brighter than the stars happily gazing at her.


    Having been noticed, Scarlett Yates found it inconvenient to leave now.


    She stood by the ss door, forced a smile, and gently called out, "Senior."


    Henry Dales got up and walked towards her, "At this time, why are you..."


    He frowned slightly, the words he wanted to say reached his lips, but he swallowed them back.


    "Senior, why are you here?" There was only one hotel on the ind, Scarlett Yates had actually guessed she and Henry Dales might be staying at the same hotel.


    But encountering him here at this time, she was still quite surprised.


    At this hour, instead of sleeping, why would hee here alone?


    When Scarlett Yates greeted him, there was still a hint of unnaturalness on her face.
