Chapter 268

Natalia awkwardly smoothed down her dress, looking slightly out of place.

Scarlett eyed her, "You two?"

Clearing her throat, Natalia admitted, "I've decided to give it a shot. After all, not trying at all would be my biggest regret."

"Are you sure about this?" Scarlett asked, concern lacing her voice.

Nodding, Natalia confirmed her decision.

Without another word, Scarlett wrapped her in a hug. "Natalia, I just want you to be happy."

A smile broke on Natalia's face as she hugged Scarlett back. "I will try my best."

After leaving Natalia's place, Scarlett headed straight for the diner where Elliott had agreed to meet. But as she stepped inside, she froze.

There, besides Emeric, was Elliott-the last person she expected to see!

Elliott's eyes lit up at the sight of her. His raised eyebrows seemed to say, "See? I got you a date."

Scarlett rolled her eyes at him in disgust.

Emeric, caught off guard by her arrival, stuttered, "Dr. Scarlett, you're here too?"

Scarlett shot Elliott a glare.

Was this his idea of setting her up?

She attempted a smile at Emeric, "Hey, Emeric."

Before she could finish, Elliott interjected, "I invited you both."

He chuckled, revealing his plot.
