Chapter 21

Xavier didn’t know that Percy often had to write self-reflections. If he found out, Percy’s butt would probably be in trouble. He also had no idea why Xavier needed the address, so he quickly sent it over. Afterward, he looked up and asked curiously, “Scarlett, do you know my Uncle Xavier?” Scarlett nodded. Percy stared at her in shock. “When did you guys meet? What happened? Come on, spill the beans!” Scarlett picked at her food and said casually, “We just met today. Weren’t you there the whole time?” Percy felt a little cheated for getting his hopes up. He thought for a moment and muttered, “I still feel like you two must have known each other before. At the very least, Uncle Xavier seems to know you.” Scarlett replied, “I’m not sure. Perhaps Mr. Hayes introduced me to him.” Percy fell into thought. “That could be it. He’s been desperate to find me a tutor.” With curiosity bubbling up again, he asked, “By the way, why does Mr. Hayes like you so much? He treats you like you’re his own daughter.” Scarlett didn’t answer. It was too complicated to explain in a few words. After finishing off the last of her spaghetti, she grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth and asked, “Are you done eating?” Percy patted his stomach with a grin. “I’m full. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite good.” Scarlett stood up without a word. “That’s cool. Keep an eye on the table for me. I’m going to grab some takeout boxes.” Percy was speechless. He wondered if he had really just heard her mention takeout. His mouth twitched. This was the first time he had seen someone pack up leftovers after eating out. Scarlett grabbed a takeout box and went to find the manager to settle her wages. Although she had been fired, it had happened after she brought Percy to the private room and helped him place the order. Because of that, she was still entitled to half a month’s base salary plus the commission from the meal, which added up to 1,300 dollars. However, when she asked the manager for her pay, the manager said, “Your wages have already been settled for you.” Scarlett’s expression immediately darkened. “I didn’t come to settle it myself. This is against the rules.” The manager helplessly pointed to the private room opposite. “The people in that room settled it for you. They have some status. I can’t really do anything. Since we’ve worked together over the past few days, please don’t make things hard for me. Go ask them for it.” Scarlett glanced at the opposite room. The door was closed, so she had no idea who was inside. Still, something in her gut told her to ask, “Is their last name Quinn?” The manager nodded, looking as if he feared offending them, then quickly left. Scarlett grabbed the takeout box and returned to Percy’s private room. Her expression was a little sour, and Percy noticed immediately. He was going to tease her about packing up leftovers, but when he saw her face, he hesitated to speak. “Are you alright?” he asked carefully. Scarlett quickly packed the leftover food and handed it to Percy. “Hold this for me. I’m going to deal with some pests.” Percy stared at the takeout box in front of him, feeling completely baffled. He never imagined that one day, he would be reduced to carrying someone else’s leftovers. If anyone from the Stroud family saw this, he would never hear the end of it. Still, he picked up the takeout and headed to the doorway to watch the drama unfold. Scarlett pushed open the door to the private room next door. When she saw the people inside, she gave a cold, mocking smile.
