Working with Scarlett was great. It was my first time working with her one-on-one and seeing the CEO and businesswoman come out was sensational. She was effective and organized, finding a solution to any problem and never getting discouraged. We quickly went over all we needed to discuss in preparation for not just the beauty professionals event but the London fashion week meeting as well. It was a wonderful learning experience for me and I simply couldn't wait to see her in action in the next few days.

We had just finished visiting the venue for the event and were now making our way to a restaurant that was close by. She seemed to be a regular because the patron called her by her first name and within seconds, we were seated at a private table which gave us a nice view of the water since the restaurant was along the waterfront.

"I could definitely get used to the special treatment," I said, taking a sip of my drink.

"Why do I feel like you're only using me for my fame?" she says with a smirk, her eyes following my every move.

"Why do I feel like you're flaunting your stardom to impress me?" I counter back. Ever since we landed, there's been a comfortable, albeit flirty vibe to our conversations.

Maybe it was the fact that we were on another continent, where nobody knew me - but I guess I was feeling more at ease and fully embraced and responded to her flirting.

"If you can't prove it, you have to accept it." that damn smirk, never left her face.

"Good evening ladies. Ms. Johansson, always a pleasure to have you visit us. Are you ready to order or would you need a few more minutes?" I turned away from the actress so I could face the waiter. I was surprised to see that he was already looking at me and blushed under his stare.

"I'll have my usual and a bottle of your best red wine, thank you," replied Scarlett, dryly.

I looked at her, curiously before turning my attention back to the waiter, his gaze on me unfaltering.

"I'll have the y/f/f. Thank you... Charli." I replied with a smile. A glance at the name tag gave me his name. He beamed at me before grabbing our menus and leaving.

"I don't remember you being this charming to me when we first met." I looked over at her as she took a sip of her water and looked at me over the rim.

"My my, Ms. Johansson. Is that green I see on your face?" I ask teasingly.

"Why would I be jealous when I'm the one sitting here with you?" She replied with a frown.

"Keep saying that until you believe it." she glared at me, making me laugh.

Soon our meals came and she and I settled into a comfortable conversation about everything and anything. Before long, it was closing time and we had to be asked to leave.

"Our hotel is not too far from here. Fancy a walk under the moonlight?" she asked as we stepped out of the restaurant.

"Ms. Johansson, are you trying to seduce me?" I asked with a mock gasp, making her laugh.
