Thinking of this, he frowned, his temper flaring up. Angrily, he said to Scarlett Xavier, "Why must you go there out of all places, causing others to misunderstand?"
Remembering how he rushed out like a fool during the meeting, Julian Rhodes felt utterly miserable.
Seeing his anger, Scarlett didn't retort. She knew he cared about saving face and must be trying to cover his embarrassment.
She naively asked Julian, "Julian, if I jumped, would you be sad? If there was one less person named Scarlett in this world, would you feel very sad?"
These words didn't seem like they came from Scarlett's mouth.
Julian had always thought of her as a very pragmatic person, not someone who would ask such childlike questions.
He was still angry, but hearing her words, he suddenly became cautious.
"Didn't you say you weren't thinking of suicide?"
"..." Scarlett was embarrassed, "I was just asking casually. Never mind."
