Chapter 613

The most important thing is, she initially thought Jimmy Scott was deliberately using some story about single women being harmed to scare her, but later she found out that there really have been several such cases recently.

For someone who often needs to work night shifts, that kind of news was enough to frighten her.

The neighborhood where she and Jimmy Scott lived was in a bustling district of the city, with much better security, and it wasn’t uncommon to see quite a few people on the streets even at one or two in the morning.

After thinking it over several times, the risk of cohabiting with Jimmy Scott was still far less than living in a remote area.

Moreover, Jimmy Scott repeatedly emphasized that he’s no longer interested in her, so she shouldn’t have any concerns. If she kept refusing, it would seem like she was really overthinking things.

Half a month of living together wasn’t too long, but Scarlett’s defenses against Jimmy Scott were getting lower and lower. Gradually, she let go of her guard and concerns, starting to interact with him in the manner of ordinary cohabiting partners.

During this half a month, Jimmy Scott behaved very normally, without any overstepping.

Most of the time, he was in his room reading books. He mentioned he was preparing for a postgraduate exam, and after work, Scarlett would also retreat to her small room, with few occasions for them to be alone together.

However, they would arrange to go to and from work together. Although the apartment was not too far from the hospital, it still took about ten minutes by car, so Scarlett would hitch a ride with Jimmy Scott every day.

Of course, at first, she refused.

Just like how she initially refused to have lunch with Jimmy Scott as well. He was very persistent and would come up with a bunch of justifiable reasons. After a few refusals from Scarlett, she finally agreed.

When Jimmy Scott came over, their colleagues teased them a bit and then discreetly excused themselves, leaving the two alone.

Scarlett looked embarrassed, furrowing her brows: “You better not come looking for me in the future p>

“Because of those rumors?” Jimmy Scott smiled indifferently, “I’ve already explained to them, but they don’t believe me, and there’s nothing I can do about it p>

“You come every day, what good does explaining do?” Scarlett complained, staring at him with a bit of annoyance.

Jimmy Scott shrugged nonchalantly and said, “The cafeteria has some good dishes today, including your favorite braised pork ribs. Let’s go p>

Upon hearing about the braised pork ribs, Scarlett’s eyes lit up, her attention immediately diverted: “Really? Then let’s go, hurry up p>

The braised pork ribs at Benevolent Heart Hospital’s cafeteria were renowned.

The two chatted and laughed as they headed to the cafeteria.

Because the hospital’s meal standards were high, most employees, like them, usually ate in the cafeteria. Once there, Jimmy Scott asked Scarlett to find them a spot while he went to get the food.

Scarlett looked around and saw her colleagues. Just as she walked over and hadn’t even sat down, someone shooed her away with some disdain, “Go, people in love shouldn’t sit with us singles; find your own spot p>

Scarlett: “I’m really just ordinary friends with Doctor Scott p>

The feeble explanation immediately earned a collective eyeroll, with disbelief written all over their faces.

Scarlett: p>

By the time Jimmy Scott brought the food over, he saw Scarlett sitting there looking glum.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, pretending ignorance.

He had seen her getting teased and driven away by those colleagues just now.

As he spoke, he placed the tray in front of Scarlett.
