Prologue
Prologue "Self belief and hard work will always earn you success" -Virat Kohli-  *** Scarlett trailed her fingers across the glass table, as she was drinking red wine in her office. With her legs crossed, she faced herself toward the view of Manhattan at night. New York City, the city that never sleeps they say, and it never did indeed. The sight of the lights coming from the buildings had looked like stars on earth, maybe they should call it city of stars. When her lips touched the cold glass, she took her last sip and wiped the red lip stains on the edge with a napkin. Placing it gently on her table, she stood up and loosened herself.     It was 6 P.M in the evening, most of her staff had gone home an hour ago, but she decided to stay for a little bit longer that day to finish up some work for their next month’s project, and after all the paperwork were done, she could relax for a bit.     She walked near the window and stared outside, the streets were filled with cars going in different directions. She heaved a sigh of relief, although she was tired that day, she did not feel burdened at all, because she was doing what she loved, she was one of those fortunate souls who could live life on her own terms.     Everything was going well in her life, of course, it was not always easy, because she herself had her own share of challenges. Yet she would consider herself quite fortunate. There she stood on one of the best office building in Manhattan which employed her two hundred and fifty staffs as the CEO and Creative director of her own cosmetic line, Scarlett Heart, named after herself. To think the line had only started the previous five years and had made its name known throughout the states was rather mind blowing to her.     When she was busy staring off the space, she heard the door opened behind her and she was shocked, she instantly turned her body around only to find her secretary, Ryan standing there with a stupid smug on his face.     “Sorry, did I startle you?” He walked inside with a bouquet of flower and a letter. He put it on her desk.     “There, somebody left it at the front office again, it’s for you, I think Layla was bored of having these flowers delivered to you every single time, she just left it on the desk” Scarlett walked toward it and grabbed the letter.     The first thing she looked at was the name of the sender at the bottom. It was one of her business associate again. She had no idea why but ever since she decided to expand her company to the international market, she had been receiving a lot of flowers and letters, she thought it was just the consequences of expanding her networks. It was true, over the past year, she had gone to so many places and met so many new people, some of them were single bachelors in their late twenties or thirties who were kind of desperate in finding a partner. Perhaps there was something in her which attracted men. They just swarmed around her like bees.     “Did you just drink wine before dinner? You are driving tonight aren’t you?” He took her glass and put it in the wash bin. The night cleaning service guy would probably clean it later on. She chuckled and took a seat at the couch. She looked straight at him with an amused expression. It would take a lot more than a glass of wine on an empty stomach to get her tipsy. She had a high alcohol tolerance, she always did ever since she tried wine out for the first time when she was sixteen in France during her family vacation. But at that time she was looking completely different than she was then.     “Let’s go have some dinner downtown, it’s my treat” Ryan offered. Scarlett thought about it for a few seconds then nodded her head in agreement. Besides, she was feeling hungry anyway. That day Ryan did not bring his car to work, so she drove both of them to the restaurant and they started ordering their meal. The waiter which served them was a young man, probably aged nineteen or twenty, as he took their order, from the corner of her eyes, Scarlett noticed the waiter was staring at her with some twinkles in his eyes. She tilted the menu slightly and gestured about what the young man was doing to Ryan with her eyes, it took him a moment to understand what she was asking. He cleared his throat to get him to stop staring and wrote down their orders properly, after repeating their order, the waiter left. She put down her menu and sighed.     “He can’t help it, you are rather distracting” He teased.     Even for him, it took a while to get used to her to the point where he no longer felt any awkwardness around her. At first he would keep a good distance and acted strictly professional around her even after work hours were over, but eventually he loosened himself up and the two managed to get along as friends.     Scarlett was simply stunning, even though she was rather short, at 5’2” without heels, she was curvy and toned. Her dark brown, almost black iris complimented her chatoyant eyes. Since she was half Chinese, she had a small, but plump blossom lips coated in blood red lipstick, her nose was tall and straight, she had an oriental face with prominent cheekbones. Her dark brunette hair flowed through her chest and stopped right at the tip of her ample breast. Although she was wearing her office look, which was rather conservative, no amount of garment could completely hide her curves.     It was not just about her look, of course, she was confident, disciplined, and diligent, probably one of the most hard working woman one could ever know, on top of that she also had a rather interesting personality as Ryan would often tell her. She always had her own ways of dealing with things and solving her problems, which would be unthinkable for some people, she was also an intelligent woman, financially savvy, a bit sassy but classy at the same time. She was mostly dressed in black, her favorite color, which provided her with an air of mystery. Yet she herself had to admit that her appearance did play a role on her success. When they said “Don’t judge a book by its cover” they were lying. People would always judge others from their appearance. It has always been the way humans are wired. She understood the importance of appearance from a young age, after all, Scarlett Heart did not always look that way. Whenever she heard someone complimented her on her appearances Her mind pondered back to her past. To the dark times of her teenage years.
