Two days later
It's been a long two days without talking or seeing Scarlett. I walked into the gallery and I saw Scarlett talking to some guy.
A few other persons were here touring and admiring my artwork that was hanging on the walls.
I made my way over to her and the guy looked at me. He was smiling until our eyes met.
"Lettie," I said and Scarlett turned around.
"Hi," she said without her eyes meeting mine.
"Can I talk to you in private?" I asked and she looks over at the guy.
"Excuse me for a minute," she said and I walked away with her following.
We went to her office and she closes the door behind her.
"Is this about the art collection-"
"No, I wanted to see you," I said bluntly.
"Jaylynn-"
"Are you angry at me?"
"What? No," she said
"Did I hurt you,"
"No Jaylynn," she said and I run my fingers through my hair.
"Then why are you ignoring me?"
"I'm not," she said so I walked up to her and she stopped me.
"Jaylynn I don't think we should do this anymore. We're partners and neighbors, I think that should be the only relation with have," she said.
"Is this because of what happened two days ago?" I asked
"No," she said and I tried making eye contact with her but she wouldn't look at me directly.
"Please respect my decision in this," she said and as much as how I wanted to disagree I gave her a nod in agreement.
"I think I should go then," I said and she nods.
I walked to the door and she spoke making me halt.
"Can you keep what I said about my marriage and parents a secret please," she asked.
"I wouldn't tell any Lettie," I said before leaving.
