淑女的欲望

It was six in the afternoon when Scarlett got a call from Xander.

Scarlett was surprised because the man was waiting for her downstairs. She immediately stopped all her work and rushed out of her office.

Cruz and Logan, who saw Scarlett exit hastily from her office with her panicked expression, followed her to the elevator.

"Boss! Where are you going?" Cruz shouted, running after her.

Behind him, Logan walked quickly, "Young Miss, let me bring your laptop bag." He stood beside her and reached out to accept her laptop bag.

"Logan, you can go home and place my laptop in my room. I still have business outside and will be going home alone..." Scarlett said as she pressed the elevator button.

Logan was surprised to hear that. He frowned before saying, "Ma\'am... master will kill me if I let you drive alone. Moreover, you won\'t be able to enter Pearl Garden if you use a Taxi or unregistered car..."

"Boss, where are you going? Let Logan drive for you. Aren\'t you the laziest at driving a car?" Seeing the worried look on her face made Cruz worry.

Scarlett couldn\'t help but smile seeing that these two men cared about her so much, she said calmly, "Guys! I\'m not going to drive myself. But my husband was waiting for me downstairs."

Later,  the elevator doors closed.

Logan and Cruz, who were still standing in front of the elevator, looked surprised to hear Scarlett\'s words.

"Waah! My Idol, Mr. Xander Riley, visit our office?" Cruz muttered excitedly. He stopped another elevator and wanted to go downstairs to have a look, but Logan held him back.

"Don\'t bother them!" Logan says. He could tell his master was in a bad mood all day. Afraid that seeing Cruz\'s face would make his mood worse. Too risky!

When Scarlett arrived in the lobby...

She saw a familiar red sports car in front of the main entrance. Her smile widens as the tinted glass window rolls down, and Xander\'s handsome face appears.

Scarlett quickly approached the car, "Xander, you drive yourself!? Now that\'s unusual." She said as she got into the car.

"Hmm... is there a problem?"

"Eh! Of course not..." Scarlett quickly buckled her seat belt awkwardly.

After a brief greeting, no one spoke. Xander was very serious about driving the car while Scarlett\'s mind was preoccupied with her noisy thoughts; about the shameless thing that happened last night.

The tension in the car did not subside even though they had driven five minutes away from the Palm Avenue area.

Another five minutes pass by, and still, no one starts the conversation.

However, her cell phone vibrated just before Scarlett wanted to say something. When she saw the caller, she was stunned.

\'Why is he calling at a time like this!?\' She ignored the call. However, her phone still vibrates. She started to curse that man in her heart.

"You can pick it up, babe. Maybe it\'s an important call..." Xander finally said something after her phone didn\'t stop vibrating.

"It\'s okay! It wasn\'t an important call. He can wait!" Scarlett said with a faint smile.

Xander was surprised to hear Scarlett address the caller, \'he.\' It made him curious to know who the person calling her was.

"Really!? But it\'s been almost five minutes since that person called you." He stared at her as the car stopped at a traffic light. "...maybe it\'s really urgent!?"

Scarlett could only chuckle inwardly. She knew if she picked up, and this man knew who had called her, he might get mad again. Gosh!

She had no choice but to pick up the phone, "Hello!"

"Tsk! Tsk! Little sister... you finally picked up my call, huh!? Are you that busy!?" A male voice protested from the other end, making Scarlett only smile bitterly, hearing his words.

Xander could clearly hear the man\'s voice and was surprised to hear the familiar voice. Now he regretted letting her pick up the phone.

"Brother Rex, why did you call!?" Scarlett asked, ignoring the irritated Rex.

"What? Does there have to be a special reason to call you!?" His displeased tone came from the other end.

"No, of course not! I\'m just a little busy right now, so if you don\'t mind, I\'ll call you back later. I mean, if it\'s not too important..." She felt awkward talking to Rex while Xander sat very close to her. She is aware Xander must have heard their conversation.

"Sister, I just wanted to remind you to come to NY on my birthday!"

"Gosh! Your birthday? Isn\'t that still two months away?" Scarlett rolled her eyes in disbelief at what she was hearing. After all, why did she need to be reminded? She will never forget his birthday anyway!

"Hey, two months is not that long. You are a busy woman, so you\'ll probably forget by then. That\'s why I want to remind you to prepare my birthday present!" Rex laughs at the other end before continuing, "...little sister, this year, you must give me a present or presents more precious than before! I know you\'re richer than last year. Hahaha."

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Yes... Yes... Don\'t worry, Young Master Rex, I will. Prepare the best present for you, you greedy little bastard. Hahaha." She laughs a bit loudly.

"Ah, promise me you will come too, not just your present..."

"Oh, I will! Especially if you send me your jet to pick me up. Then I will fly there..."

"Perfect!! Alright, gotta go now. Ah, don\'t forget your dinner... Bye, little sister. I missed you... so..."

Scarlett immediately hung up the phone when she felt the temperature in the car suddenly drop to zero. It was so cold. She thought they were driving at the north pole.

She turned to look at the man beside her and was surprised at how dark his expression was now.

\'Why, he looks angry!? Is it because I talked too long with Rex!?\' Scarlett thought while trying to think of how to make this ice prince melt.
