Chapter 89: My Highness likes you very much and will continue to chat with you tomorrow
Scarlett looked at Hill calmly, without any embarrassment of being caught red-handed. She smiled naturally and asked, "Hill, do you mind if I take a look at the files in your file room?"
"No problem."
Hill smiled in agreement, his eyes sweeping over the food box on the ground and the bone china plate next to it.
She walked in, bent down and picked up the two things, and said, "Your Highness, the environment here is not good and not suitable for dining. How about I change a place for Your Highness?"
Scarlett took out Vanessa's file bag and waved it in her hand. "Can I take this with me?"
Hill stared at the name on the file bag, his eyes calm and slightly chilled, "Okay."
Hill led the way and took Scarlett out.
When she reached the door, Scarlett turned her head back and looked at Susanna. "Your Highness likes you very much. I will continue to chat with you tomorrow."
Susannah stood in the back of the filing room, with filing cabinets on either side. A few rays of light fell from the skylight on the wall, lengthening the shadows of the inverted filing cabinets.
Two shadows overlap.
Susannah seemed to be in darkness and everything around her was cold.
She looked up when she heard Scarlett's words.
Scarlett stood at the door, her face and body covered in light, her figure also elongated by the light. When she came to her side, the edges of her outline were bright, with several colorful traces slanting out.
Shining like a gem.
Susanna looked at Scarlett, only at Scarlett, "Yes, Your Highness."
…
…
The institute has several glass houses dedicated to growing plants, which are similar to greenhouses, except that they are filled with trees.
These trees are not tall, only about two meters, but their crowns are extremely lush, like open umbrellas. The leaves are shiny and glossy, and they smell good, with a slightly sweet fragrance.
Not strong.
But once you smell it, your nose is filled with its scent.
Scarlett sat in the middle of the glass room, watching Hill open the food box, take out the desserts and place them on the table. After that, Hill poured her a cup of black tea and said with a smile, "Cheesecake tastes best with black tea. Black tea can help to reduce the greasiness and bring out the richness of the cheese, making it rich but not greasy."
Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "It seems the Dean knows a lot about desserts. How about sitting down and eating together?"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Hill refused and sat opposite Scarlett.
The desserts were taken out, but Hill's hand did not leave the food box. Her fingertips covered a ruby, and with a slight movement, the ruby was in her hand.
She took a closer look and exclaimed in amazement, "The things in the Huldah Palace are truly bizarre. There's actually a camera inside this tiny gem."
Hill handed the ruby to Scarlett and said, "Your Highness, look at this."
Scarlett's expression remained calm. She took the ruby and looked at it. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!" and said, "There really is a camera."
Hill smiled and said, "Your Highness, please check the Hurda Palace carefully. The cameras can be large or small. It would be bad if someone snooped into your privacy."
Scarlett waved her hand, "I walk upright and sit upright, so I'm not afraid."
Hill smiled and agreed, "That's right, Your Highness is not afraid of anything."
Hill had something else to do, so he left after eating a piece of cheesecake.
She returned to the office and glanced at Susanna, who was sitting at her desk, her head lowered, working. Her gentle features suddenly stiffened, a layer of frost appeared in her eyes, and she asked sternly, "What did you say to His Highness just now?"
…
…
Scarlett opens Vanessa's file.
I just took a quick look and saw someone coming into the glass room. It was Vanessa.
Scarlett calmly put down the documents and said, "Hello."
Vanessa smiled slightly, glanced at the file bag inconspicuously, and said bluntly: "Your Highness is interested in me?"
Scarlett didn't deny it and said frankly: "You are Ashley's teacher. I want to know more about you."
"Understand me?" Vanessa asked with a frown.
Scarlett nodded. "As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. I want to be good to Ashley, so I have to be good to his teacher as well. That way, his teacher will say a few good words about me in front of him."
Scarlett looked at Vanessa with a smile, "You're right, teacher."
Vanessa laughed. "Your Highness is quite humorous. You are the ruler and I am the subject. I cannot bear the title 'teacher' from you."
Everyone knows Scarlett's methods: first, she makes a fuss; second, she goes crazy; third, she goes mad. No one can get away with anything good in front of her.
Will she be nice to others?
It's simply a wonder of the world.
Vanessa couldn't believe it, nor would she believe it, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Scarlett.
Scarlett understood the sarcasm in Vanessa's words, but she didn't get annoyed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Actually, this Highness doesn't want to know you just for Ashley. I just looked at Kristen's file in the file room and found that you're not only Ashley's teacher, but also Kristen's teacher. So, this Highness wanted to ask you, do you know where Kristen's home is? I can't find it in her file."
"Your Highness wants to see Christine?"
"right."
"Why?"
"What do you think?"
Scarlett's expression suddenly became serious, her eyes turned cold, and she quickly swept across Vanessa's face.
Vanessa's cheek twitched. "Your Highness, are you still bothered by that photo?"
"certainly."
Scarlett said viciously, "That photo brought shame upon me and caused me to be imprisoned in the Imperial Court for a month. She just disappeared so easily. I will not accept this and must punish her severely!"
Vanessa thought quickly, "Why is His Highness looking for her now? He ignored her before."
Scarlett gnashed her teeth, her eyes reddened with hatred. "Some things are just like that. The more you think about it, the angrier you get. I originally wanted to be magnanimous and forgive her, but when I think about the whole Star Network knowing that I was cuckolded, I'm furious."
"Your Highness is too tolerant to tolerate others. I must find her and punish her severely to relieve my hatred!"
Vanessa stared at Scarlett. "Your Highness, what would you do if you found Christine? Just punish her?"
Scarlett curled the corners of her lips and forced out a malicious smile, "Then it depends on how she admits her mistake to me."
Vanessa was silent for a moment, then said regretfully, "It's a pity, I don't know where she is."
…
…
Vanessa didn't care whether Scarlett knew about it or not. Since she refused to say, she asked others. The research institute was so big that she would always be able to find information about Christine.
Hill removed the camera on the lunch box, and Scarlett was too lazy to take the lunch box with her, so she just threw it in the glass house.
Catherine gave her access to the institute, allowing her to roam freely in the institute.
The management of the institute were all in the same office building. She walked around and asked everyone she met if they knew where Christine's home was.
Scarlett's image in everyone's eyes is that of a madman who could go berserk at any time, so it's not surprising that she behaved like this.
Although everyone was afraid, they didn't take it seriously.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed.
Scarlett came to Laboratory No. 27 in a depressed mood.
He opened the door of the laboratory and walked in.
It is five o'clock in the afternoon, time for everyone to get off work, but there are still four people in the laboratory, and no one has left.
They stood in front of the laboratory table, concentrating on the experiments in hand.
Scarlett didn't interrupt.
She wandered around outside the laboratory, and after a round, she stopped in front of the wall of honor, looked at the photos on it, and was stunned for a while.
Then, he reached out, tore off a photo and put it in his pocket.
