"Of course, no problem."
Scarlett Yates answered promptly. As soon as he finished speaking, she agreed to his request.
She didn't even think it over, which surprised Hayes Simmons a bit, but then he felt relieved, and a gratified smile appeared in his eyes.
As long as Scarlett Yates agreed to him, there was no need to worry about this matter.
He sincerely thanked her, "Scarlett, I really must thank you."
The cup of water stayed in her hand, going from boiling hot to warm. Although the office had air conditioning, given it was winter, the water temperature dropped quickly.
Scarlett Yates held onto the cup of water, not taking a sip, and watched Hayes Simmons through the steam rising to the air: "Mr. Simmons, your request isn't excessive, there's no reason for me to refuse. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have done so anyway. But since Mr. Simmons has made a request of me, isn't it only fair to accept one from me in return?"
"Go ahead."
