Chapter 320: Go away, Ramslin

Scarlet was just returning from a brief visit to the underworld, and mixing herself a cup of strawberry milk when her two sisters assaulted her, gently.

Carolyn pulled one arm while Fey pulled another, tugging her body left and right as each of them tried to get answers from her. After a rigorous questioning the previous evening from Cecily and Mega on the matter of Justin’s little accident yesterday which was followed up by a loud mouthful of being read the riot act by both women for herself and Esong, Scarlet wanted to hear only sweet words this morning, no questions and no arguments.

"Oh come on, you guys, it’s too early in the morning for whatever this is." she whined.

Fey and Carolyn forced her to sit down and Fey quickly brought the cup of strawberry milk over and forcefully placed it in Scarlet’s hands.

"Have some biscuits as well." Carolyn said, and she placed a box of milk biscuits on the kitchen island.

"It’s not too early for you to tell us why you refused to meet Ramslin yesterday." Fey told her.

Carolyn tilted Scarlet’s head to the left, so that she could look into her eyes and discern her answers.

Fey was not to be outdone, she tilted Scarlet’s head to the right and said loudly, "Why didn’t you tell me that you and Ramslin are good friends?"

"Not good, great." Carolyn corrected Fey as she turned Scarlet’s head to her side.

Scarlet had had enough of her head being turned every way that theses two desired. Were they trying to break her neck? Moreover, Carolyn had on a pair of gloves on her hands that smelled like ore. Scarlet hated that smell as it irritated her nose often.

"Stop it," she pushed Carolyn’s hand away, and complained very irritated.

"She means you." Fey hurried to inform Carolyn.

Carolyn confidently shook her head and said, "I don’t think so, she means you. Me, her and Ramslin will soon be best friends and we will have fun and adventures together."

"Ho!!" Scarlet chuckled at the shamelessness that Carolyn was displaying. What did she think they were going to be, the three musketeers!!?

"How did you meet Ramslin?" Carolyn asked her.

"When did you meet him?" Fey asked.

"How long have you known him?" Carolyn asked enthusiastically.

"Does he really collect number shaped rocks?? It’s so weird and senseless." Fey curiously looked at her.

Her sisters were very relentless in their questioning, chattering incessantly despite the sour look on Scarlet’s face. To them, this was the most exciting thing to happen on the blue star this year. Ramslin was a top rated actor, who happened to be a reclusive. He was dashingly handsome, wealthy, soft spoken, gentle, with a charming smile that melted hearts. He was also young, virile and a dream partner to many in the Sun star. His arrival on the Blue star had created a sensation and more reporters were rushing to cover the story.

The Blue star had one hotel so far, and that was where Ramslin was staying. Fans and reporters were camped outside with drones monitoring the immediate vicinity around the hotel in the hopes of getting pictures, autographs or interviews.

"How could you keep this big secret from us?" Carolyn pinched Scarlet because she was yet to give them a satisfactory answer. She had been sipping her tea and enjoying biscuits, ignoring them as if they were not here.

"He was talking crazy, we are not friends." she winced and said.

How could she convince these two that Ramslin was talking nonsense? She was an acquaintance at most and not a friend. When she ignored his last message and he showed up on her planet in human form, he had declared that they were friends on his star net page. It was an attempt to get her to see him, and it had worked because she had a meeting in her office with him.

Unhappily, she glared at Carolyn and pinched her, causing her as much pain as she caused her.

"No way, he declared on star net that he was here to visit his long time friend, governor Scarlet. You are keeping secrets Scarlet, spill, we are your sisters and we will not tell anyone, uhm, please." Fey folded her hands together and pleaded.

"Did you date him? Is that why you won’t say anything?" Carolyn blurted.

Scarlet banged her head against Carolyn’s face abruptly, hitting her sister’s nose and forcing her to shut up because all of her concentration was now on the pain.

"Ah, ah ah, oww." Carolyn cried out loud.

"Sorry," Scarlet apologized with a small smile on her face. "You said such a nonsensical thing that I was startled."

Carolyn was holding her nose and Fey quickly went to take a look. She removed Carolyn’s hands and touched it gently. Carolyn let out a loud yelp as if her nose had been injured all over again.

"I don’t think it’s broken." Scarlet said.

Carolyn glared at her and Scarlet kept quiet. Out of guilt, she gave her a pain pill. "Take this, you will be fine in no time. I have a meeting so I need to go now. Sister, sorry about your nose, I am really sorry." She apologized continuously while making her escape from the kitchen and the two interrogators.

But they were not the only curious ones about this new development, Mina had called a dozen times and sent five texts all related to this issue.

BSTV’s director Rodney had called her and sent a message asking if it was possible le for her and Ramslin to sit down for an interview discussing their long friendship. And reporters from other stars were not to be left out, they sent direct messages to her.

On star net, it was a trending topic and people were trying to figure out how Scarlet and Ramslin had crossed paths.

The city hall officers were excited and the few ministers she had. This was good for the Blue star in the terms of public relations.

She found the annoying critter Ramslin as she referred to him in the privacy of her mind waiting for her outside her office. His assistant, was with him and two reporters.

He was dressed fashionably, in tight leather pants and a white shirt which was partially tucked into the pants.

He had a couple of rings on his fingers and jewelry in his pierced ears. His long now ash grey wavy hair was falling down to his shoulders.

Ramslin the grim reaper and Ramslin the famous celebrity actor were two very different people.

"Friend." He said loudly and he spread his arms widely. "Why have you been ignoring my calls and messages? I have missed you so much, gosh look at you." He hugged her forcefully and even lifted her up.

The two reporters took pictures quickly and she knew that these would be shared immediately.

They were also curious about her reasons for ignoring his calls and messages.

"Put me down." She said coldly. ’Go away,’ was what she truly wanted to say.

Their ears heightened, why, was some drama going on?

"Friend, aren’t we friends anymore?" He asked with a pout.

"I am a lady and a married one at that, we should keep a proper distance in order not to fuel distasteful rumors." She answered.

The reporters nodded in understanding, Scarlet made so much sense.
