SCARLETT'S TEARS
MARK'S VISIT TO THE CHALONS PLANTATION

Huh...

"It's so hot outside" Olivia said as she opened the workroom's door handle for her and Scarlett.

Olivia looked at the unmoved Scarlett with blank eyes.

"Scarlett, what's wrong with you ?

Scarlett was still silently silent with her hands propping up her chin. It was as if he was now in his subconscious.

"Scarlett...

"HM. hmm, Olivia when did you come ?"

"Cihh, you're what you're thinking, from this morning I saw you were just daydreaming Scarlett. I came too you didn't realize"

Huh..

"I thought of Alejandro's words this morning Olivia, they affected my mind so much".

Olivia stared intensely at the gloomy looking face of her friend.

"If you may know what your husband told you, Scarlett, so you're like this ?"

Huhc .

Scarlett leaned her back for a moment, then carried her face attached to her folded arms on top of her work desk.

"It's all about my mother Oliv, the woman I never knew. I never even saw it through a picture" Scarlett replied.

"Alejandro's words made me doubt the feelings I've felt about that woman Oliv".

"Scarlett if I may give you a suggestion, could your heart be a little open to listen to your mother's reason first if one day you meet her".

"By continuing to hold a grudge will hurt your own feelings" said Olivia.

"For now it feels so hard to open my heart, Oliv. I don't know for a moment" Scarlett said.

"Get in.", replied Alejandro.

Without shifting his focus from all the files he was reading seriously.

"Sorry to disturb you, outside of Mr. Mark Rufaro the owner of the Merciel plantation wants to see you" Samuel said respectfully.

Alejandro immediately opened his reading glasses and put them on the table.

"Allow Mark Rufaro to Sam. Oh yes. for the next if he comes back let him meet me directly. Mark Rufaro is welcome to visit the Chalons plantation at any time" Alejandro said, giving orders to his assistant Samuel.

"Good sir..

Shortly after, Mark entered Alejandro's office.

Alejandro stepped out of his seat and let Mark sit on the sofa. He sat in front of Mark.

"Not really, I'm just reading the files I've been in".

"Your plantation is very beautiful Alejandro. And you have the best factory in our country" Mark said sincerely.

"This plantation is my father's legacy, I just go on".

"HM... Ale I want to ask you something, about my sister. Why is it that after his father died he can stay on your farm ?"

"Long and winding story Mark". And Alejandro began to tell everything without a single one being missed.

Mark, listen with focus all Alejandro says.

"So it's Scarlett that you left all your business in London ?"

"Yes, it's all because of Scarlett, added after we read the letter my father left me, about the intention of marrying Scarlett to get close to us".

Mark nodded his head, "I believe that you love my sister Ale very much".

"Yes, I love Scarlett very much, and she will soon give me the child we've been waiting for" Alejandro said happily.

"Remember Ale, he's my nephew" Mark replied.

"Yes yes I know that", Alejandro replied.

"Oh yes Ale, from tomorrow my mother is already living in Merciel. Maybe after being close to me too Scarlett will help her memory recover. If it's with me, mom doesn't respond to anything. I don't know when he met Scarlett was there what he felt as an inner bond between mother and child. I'm asking you to help Alejandro take Scarlett to my estate when my mother is here".

"Yes, I must've taken Scarlett to see your mother, Mark. But I hope you hold back from talking about your blood relationship to my wife. Because this morning I tried to say it slowly but Scarlett was immediately shaken. I don't want anything to happen to my wife and children" Alejandro said, asking Mark for understanding.

"Yes Ale, of course. I don't want anything to happen to my sister and niece. You take it easy".

"Alright Alejandro, I'll excuse you. I hope Merciel and Chalons can work together someday. My plantation specially planted Ruby Roman grapes, some time ago I have sent the best seeds to Scarlett, I hope to grow in the fertile soil of Chalons" said Mark.

"It is with great pleasure that I accept you to be my co-worker Mark" Alejandro replied.

"Well brother-in-law I'll excuse you..

"Thank you brother-in-law for the visit ...

The two laughed and hugged warmly.
