SCARLETT'S TEARS
ALEJANDRO PRIZE

Scarlett asked Levia to bring their dinner into the room.

Alejandro was in the bathroom cleaning his body.

Scarlett stepped onto the walk in closet and picked up Alejandro's casual clothes in her wardrobe. As usual Scarlett took the soft t-shirts and joggers that Alejandro liked to sleep in.

He put it on a glass table not far from Alejandro's wardrobe.

Scarlett prepared the dinner that Levia had brought to their room.

"You ask the waiter to bring us dinner?", asked Alejandro as he dried his still wet hair.

"Yes, what do you want to eat ? I asked Ana to cook your favorite asparagus soup and brioche .

Brioche is similar to fresh bread. This bread is made from butter and egg dough. As a result, the outside of this bread has a dry crust and crunchy while the inside is fluffy soft, and tender.

Scarlett already knew Alejandro was very fond of such a healthy menu.

Alejandro sat down next to Scarlett.

" Hmm, finally my stomach is really hungry" he said.

Alejandro immediately ate his dinner. Scarlett was thrilled to see Alejandro eat so voraciously like that.

"Do you really like asparagus soup and brioche, Ale ?"

"For asparagus soup I really like it, if the bread does not have to be brioche. All kinds of French bread I like" Alejandro replied without turning his attention to his dinner dishes.

"From my young mother's frequent cooking of this soup, the recipe was passed down to Ana who became my family's cook. Ana worked for our family decades ago" Alejandro said.

"Then from now on I will learn to cook your favorite meal, young master Alejandro" Scarlett said with a smile.

"Really, can you cook Miss Scarlett?", asked Alejandro to tease his wife.

"Cihh, you doubt my abilities huh, just wait for this weekend I will cook a very delicious meal for you" Scarlett replied confidently.

"Hmm, I can't wait for the weekend" Alejandro replied smiling as he gently rubbed Scarlett's face.

"Hmm, Scarlett's probably in the next three weeks I'm taking you to London. I hope the Chalons are back in conducive shape after some incident on this plantation".

"A few days ago I warned Antoine. I'm sure he won't accept the harsh words I've given him".

"I'm sure Antoine is preparing a reply. But you don't have to worry, I've tightened my guard on the Chalons farm".

"I don't want anything as bad as Colin's going through to my other workers".

"Yes Ale, I'm sure Mr. Antoine must be up to something"

"Are you still afraid of him, hem ?" alejandro asked as he fixed the child's hair to the side of Scarlett's ear.

"No Ale, I'm worried about you. I don't want anything to happen to you Ale" Scarlett said softly

"Are you so worried about me?", asked Alejandro as he carried Scarlett in his arms.

"Yes Ale, I don't have anyone anymore" Scarlett said softly.

"Mr Alejandro, tonight there's a dinner hosted by the estate

La belle belongs to Mr. Anesto".

"Mr Anesto will give La Belle's estate to her only son who has just returned from America.

"JAVIER ???"

"Yes, MR. JAVIER ANESTO

Alejandro smiled at the name "Long time no see you, Javier" Alejandro said. While leaning back on the work chair in his office.

"Give me confirmation I'll be with my wife" Alejandro said.

"Samuel, send our best wine to La Belle's estate" Alejandro ordered.

"Okay sir, I will send it there immediately", replied Samuel respectfully and resignedly to immediately send the best wine of the Chalons plantation on the La belle plantation.

Alejandro wanted to finish all the work today before the afternoon. Because he will come to attend Anesto's family invitation.

Late in the afternoon Scarlett returned to the hacienda. He went to the dinner table and sat down after a long day of work.

"Miss Scarlett, I brought you the lady's favorite lemon juice" Levia said as she placed two glasses and a glass teapot on the table. Next to it are a few kinds of cake.

"Thank you, Levia" Scarlett said with a smile. He immediately poured the refreshing drink into a glass and gulped it down to the toilet.

"Levia, hasn't my husband returned yet ?" ask Scarlett

"Young man hasn't come home yet, miss. But there was a courier who sent something to the lady from Mr. Alejandro.

I put the message in the lady's room" said Levia.

Scarlett was surprised to hear Levia tell her, that Alejandro sent something for her.

"What did my husband send ?" ask Scarlett.

"Sorry lady, I don't dare look at her. Later mister Alejandro can be angry with me", replied Levia giving an excuse.

"Well, Levia, I'm going to my room.

I wonder what my husband gave me". Scarlett said as she moved from her seat. And passed from the face of Levia who was smiling at the look of Scarlett's curious face.

Scarlett opened the door handle, she looked through the room looking for Alejandro's delivery, which Levia delivered earlier.

Her net was staring at some boxes on the sofa table.

Scarlett went there and opened one by one the box, seeing what it contained.

Scarlett closed her mouth looking surprised with both hands.

"Dear, clutch, shoes", exclaimed Scarlett shocked to see the luxury items in front of her now.

"Why did Alejandro send it all to me", inner Scarlett felt strange.

"A very beautiful dress.ahh all very glamorous", she murmured.

Clekleks...

Alejandro opened the room door handle, his eyes fixed on Scarlett who stood unmoved while staring at the boxes on the sofa table.

"Do you like it?", asked Alejandro later.

"Ale, why are you sending me everything?", Like I don't need these luxury items Ale. You must have spent a lot of your money to buy everything" Scarlett said.

"You doubt me yes", Alejandro replied as he hugged Scarlett's body from behind.

"Tonight you will come with me to attend the invitation of master Anesto of La Belle's estate" Alejandro replied, briefly explaining why he sent the goods to Scarlett.

"But Ale, I never went to a party. Later I will make you embarrassed", Scarlett said in a soft-sounding tone.

"Whoever is ashamed to take you, you are so beautiful. I am proud to hold you" Alejandro whispered in Scarlett's ear.

"Let's clean your body now, there will be a stylish makeup and your hair" said Alejandro while kissing Scarlett's face gently.

"Yes Ale", replied Scarlett breaking away from Alejandro's embrace and headed for the bathroom.
