Chapter 51: Pride and Self-Esteem Cast Aside
She slowly stood up, closed her eyes, and cast aside all her pride and dignity. Taking a standard bow, she cursed inwardly but spoke in a gentle and agreeable voice, "Young Master Saxon, I was young and reckless and made a mistake in a moment of impulse. Please, magnanimous as you are, forgive me this once. From now on, I will remember this lesson and never make the same mistake again."
A soft laugh escaped. Matthew Saxon curved his lips, slightly raising the corners of his long eyes. For the first time since she entered the ward, he looked at her directly, "Scarlett Yates, you can’t be naive enough to think that just by apologizing, the grudge between us can be forgiven and forgotten."
Scarlett was so angry she almost lost her temper, but she had come prepared to endure his torment. At this moment, her mindset gradually calmed down.
His words, instead, gave her a sense of hope.
She stood obediently by the bedside, with her hands hanging in front of her, looking respectful. Even her voice was unusually soft and sweet, "Just apologizing certainly can’t calm Young Master Saxon’s anger. If you have any other instructions, please feel free to say."
Looking at her deliberately ingratiating manner, Matthew Saxon’s smile deepened. He used a very natural tone to command, "Go to the Richmond Hotel and pack some abalone soup for me, I’m hungry."
Thinking that he was still hospitalized, Scarlett’s professional instinct made her frown slightly, suggesting, "You’re a patient now, and should eat light. It’s best to avoid seafood."
Matthew Saxon’s eyes narrowed, "So much nonsense. I’ll give you half an hour. If you exceed the time, don’t bother coming back to me."
After speaking, he lifted his chin slightly, looking at the clock on the wall, with a half-smile, "Timing starts now..."
