Arriving in the car, Scarlett imdiately turned on her cell phone. She was surprised when she saw so many ssages from Cruz, her Assistant. The man also called her many tis.
'Did sothing happen at the office?' Scarlett felt strange. Why is Cruz calling her as tomorrow will never co? And to her annoyance, the man was so stupid.
That stupid Cruz didn't say anything about why he was suddenly looking for her. He just ssaged with useless words like;
[Idiot Cruz]: Boss, where are you?
[Idiot Cruz]: Boss, when will you co?
[Idiot Cruz]: Boss, there's sothing urgent.
[Idiot Cruz]: Boss, are you alive?
[Idiot Cruz]: Quick reply boss or I will die here.
[Idiot Cruz]: Boss, I need to ask you sothing.
How stupid.
Annoyed at Cruz, she typed quickly to scold him via text ssage.
[Scarlett]: If you use another useless word again. I will cancel your leave. (angry icon)
[Idiot Cruz]: BOSS!!! Finally, your phone is active. Where are you? What ti did you co here?
[Scarlett]: Why are you looking for ?
[Idiot Cruz]: Nothing urgent, boss. It's just that I miss you.
[Scarlett] What?!! What are you? So Idiot?!
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Scarlett suddenly felt dizzy talking to her stupid assistant.
After she scolded Cruz over text, she glanced at Xander. She saw him typing sothing on the laptop on his lap. He looked solemn as if he was the only one in the car.
After a while of waiting, Xander was still serious about his work. Scarlett finally asked, "Xander, can you drop sowhere?" She wanted to go to her office to et that useless Cruz.
Xander stared at her. Why does she want to go sowhere? Does she know soone in this city?
Actually, he wanted to go ho and show her the house, but he couldn't go ho now because he had a lunch eting. That's why he decided to take her with him, after which they would go ho together—he would introduce her to the workers of his house—but it turned out she already had other plans. Sohow he felt disappointed to know that.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Palm Avenue. Seems quite far from here, doesn't it?" Scarlett didn't know the exact location, but just now, she Googled the place, and it took her about 45 minutes to get there.
"More or less." Xander paused, trying to think of sothing.
"You can drop anywhere. I can go there by taxi." She knew Xander still had etings, so she decided to look at her new office. And it's not a problem for her to go there using public transportation. After all, she had a simple life when she lived overseas — she rarely drove her car.
"I'm not letting you use a taxi. You might get lost in this big city." Xander said as he closed his laptop. He suddenly had no mood to continue his work. "You will follow to my next eting. You can wait for and get your lunch there. After that, I will take you to Palm Avenue!"
Scarlett was speechless. Does this man think of her as a child? How could she get lost in this city when technology is getting more and more advanced? She can track her location using google maps. Gosh!
"Xander, I used to use public transportation when I lived abroad. Trust . I can go there myself..."
Scarlett tried to convince this man. Better for her to go to her office than have to follow him to his lunch eting. It would be awkward, wouldn't it?
"This ti, just follow my arrangent!" He maintained an — I have no interest in getting into this again. Please help yourself — expression.
She nearly choked on his cold, commanding tone. This was the first ti this man had spoken to her like this.
This Ice Prince was angry with her?
For sure!?
She wanted to insist on her stand, but her head betrayed her; She nodded at him agreeing with what he asked.
Scarlett could only curse herself for being too weak in front of this man.
"Perfect! I'll drive you to Palm Avenue after my lunch eting." Xander said, then he looked outside. His lips lifted slightly into a faint smile.
"No need. I can go there tomorrow." Scarlett would make that stupid Cruz wait for her all day — as punishnt for being stupid.
****
Riley Hotel.
Not long after, their car arrived at Penrose Avenue, an area known for its luxury hotels and shopping centers. Xander's lunch eting at one of the restaurants inside the Riley Hotel.
When their car reached the hotel lobby, Scarlett didn't get out of the car right away. She asked Xander to go in first and will catch him up after putting on her wig. She didn't want to appear in her authentic appearance in this place. Too risky.
"Fine. Logan will accompany you upstairs. You can wait for at the restaurant. I won't be long. And we'll be ho after that." Xander said while opening the car door.
"Hmm, I see."
A few minutes later.
Scarlett got out of the car in the sa outfit but she was wearing the gray pixie wig she had been using lately. Scarlett also wears light brown contact lenses but covers her eyes with sunglasses. She carries her backpack — she never leaves her laptop and other gadgets behind.
Her casual yet elegant appearance made several hotel visitors who were in the hotel lobby turn to look at her; she looks like a celebrity with a manager following behind her.
Not only were the people in the lobby interested in seeing her, but Logan was too. He was still confused about why Young Madam would purposely hide her beauty.
"Why are you looking at like that, Logan?" Scarlett found it odd to see Logan stealing glances at her since they entered this hotel. Like there was sothing strange on her face. "Does my wig not fit yet?" As they started their way up, she saw her reflection in the elevator mirror.
"N-No. You look good, young madam." Logan said quickly and turned his gaze away.
"Thank you. So, where are we going?" This was the first ti she had co to the Riley Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in the city.
"To a restaurant. Master Xander has a lunch appointnt at Platinum Restaurant. You will be waiting for him in one of the VIP rooms. You can order as much food as you like..." Logan explains.
Instantly her eyes lit up when she heard the word 'food.' She really liked to eat, and it looked like they were going to eat at a fancy restaurant. She was feeling excited.
