淑女的欲望

Two days later, after a short vacation in Swan Lake Town...

While Xander went on a business trip, Scarlett stayed home to rest before getting busier at her new project.

Apart from exploring the White Mansion with her personal Maids, Erica and Maddy, she didn\'t do much at home.

Scarlett just found out that Xander made strict rules for all workers in this house, such as; ethics. Recently, a senior staff member has been dishonorably dismissed for disclosing secrets.

She was surprised because the fired person had leaked her arrival in this house.

"Who is that senior staff? Have I seen her before?" Asked Scarlett feeling sorry that an innocent person had to lose her job because of her.

Moreover, when that maid was fired, her relationship with Xander was only limited to a marriage contract—on paper. She would only stay here for a year.

"She\'s the female head maid, our boss..." said Maddy, brushing Scarlett\'s wig gently.

"I don\'t think you\'ve met her, ma\'am. Because the staff who can enter this main house is restricted. Not even the head maid is allowed to come up here." Erica continued to explain.

Scarlett nodded. She remembered Xander had told her about this rule.

She felt sorry for that maid!

"Do you know who she told?" Scarlett asked again after putting on her knee-length dress to prepare for Grandpa Riley\'s birthday party.

"Ma\'am... don\'t mind her! Her behavior is awful. Many staff don\'t like her. She is kinda weird. She thought of herself as a madam in this house. And the worst thing is, she\'s using her power to abuse us!" Maddy said after seeing Scarlett\'s face turn gloomy.

Scarlett was surprised to hear that. "She deserves to be fired for behaving like that!"

"Yes, ma\'am! If I may speak frankly, she assigned us to work for you because she thought the Old Master would kick you, ma\'..." Erica stopped her words after seeing Maddy glare at her.

"Y-Young M-Madam, please don\'t mind my words..." Erica continued her sentence haltingly while lowering her head. She immediately busied herself, helping Scarlett get ready.

Scarlett smiled slightly at the terrified Erica. She said, "It\'s okay, Erica, Maddy! Just say so. I\'d love it if you two gossiped with me about the staff at this house since I haven\'t had much time to get to know them..."

"Yes, ma\'am." They both answered.

"So, that former head maid, think I\'m going to get kicked out?" Scarlett smiled at those words. Well, the head maid actually wasn\'t wrong either. Initially, she wasn\'t going to stay here long.

"Yes, that\'s why she assigned us as new staff to work for you, ma\'am."

"That\'s much better! Because I like you both..." Scarlett smiled.

"Thank you, young madam!" They both smiled at Scarlett, feeling happy.

"Young madam, earlier you were asking about the person. The head maid reported about you…." After she saw Scarlett nod, she continued, "...if I heard correctly, she leaked your information to the maids at Riley\'s Main house..." Erica said.

"Ah, you mean Grandpa Riley\'s residence!?"

"Yes, ma\'am!"

Now she understood why Grandpa Riley found out about her faster. No wonder, that old man asks her to have dinner the next day she arrives at this house.

Gosh!

Fortunately, the head maid never saw her actual appearance. It would be troublesome if that woman knew what she actually looked like.

Later...

Maddy and Erica looked amazed at the appearance of their young madam, who had finally finished getting ready.

Scarlett wears a simple red dress with a round neck and a slightly tight chest area. It fits well and is not too eye-catching. But it still looks elegant, with her arms covered just below her elbows.  Below the waist, the dress widens, and loose reaches to just her knee. Her snow-white skin perfectly matched the color of the dress she was wearing.

She also wears black heels and a bag of the same color as her heels. Even though she didn\'t wear any jewelry, only diamond earrings in her ears, there was an aura that made her look glamorous and radiant. She looked like an angel who had descended from the sky to enjoy the party.

"Young madam, you look stunning in this dress!! If you don\'t use a wig, I\'m sure everyone who saw you would think you were a goddess that came from heaven..." Maddy couldn\'t help but praise.

"Oh, Maddy... don\'t flatter me like that. Many women are much prettier than me out there!" She smiled.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Young madam, I agree with Maddy. You are so perfect. Master Xander is so lucky to have you..." Erica didn\'t want to miss flattering Scarlett. She giggled with Maddy in the corner, watching their madam spraying her body with perfume.

Scarlett laughed inwardly after hearing Erica\'s words. If this girl knew how she met Xander, they would definitely swoon.

"Hahaha, alright, alright... Girls! Save your flattery for now. Go tell Logan I\'m ready!"

After seeing them go downstairs to find Logan, she prepares to leave her room, but before going out, she receives a text message from Xander.

[Xander:] Babe, have fun at the party! Don\'t push yourself. If you\'re tired, ask Logan to take you home.

Scarlett frowned, reading Xander\'s text message.

"Why isn\'t he sleeping yet?" Scarlett worries that Xander will be too busy and overworked.

She glanced at her watch. Currently, in this city, it\'s still Sunday at 6 pm but, in Dubai, it\'s 9 hours earlier. This means in Dubai, it is already Monday at 3 in the morning.

[ Scarlett: ] Please call me!

Scarlett immediately picked up the phone on the first ring, "Xander, why aren\'t you sleeping yet?"

"I just got back to the hotel at 1 am and couldn\'t sleep..." Xander stood near the glass wall overlooking the city light outside, feeling empty — he wanted to be beside her so very bad now!

Hearing his hoarse voice could make Scarlett even more worried. "Are you drunk?"

"Nope!" He chuckled. He did drink, but he wasn\'t drunk.

"Okay, you should sleep now! Don\'t push yourself with work."

"I will! Have you left already?"

"Yup! I\'m on my way with..." Scarlett stopped talking when she heard the bell in Xander\'s room ring.

Suddenly her heart ached for unknown reasons. \'What kind of guests are coming in the middle of the night to his room?\'

"X-Xander, why..."

"Babe! I\'ll call you tomorrow. Bye!"

Beep!

Suddenly, Ella Harris\'s conversation with her father about Xander\'s female secretary comes to mind.

\'Zoey Warner! Is she with Xander in Dubai?\'
