淑女的欲望

"Xander arranged that too?" Scarlett gets emotional hearing it. How nice Xander was to her made her fall with him even more.

\'Gosh! Mr. Xander Riley, can\'t you show me all your sweet cards? I will fall more and more in love with you!!\' She could only express it silently.

"Yes, ma\'am, of course. You are his wife, aren\'t you?" Logan raised his eyebrows as he glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

Scarlett immediately closed her mouth tightly.

Geez!! She almost exposed her fake marriage to Logan.

"Well, I think he forgot because this trip was too sudden..." Scarlett replied casually.

"Master Xander won\'t forget. Since last night he called me and asked me to arrange everything..." Logan explained. He also told her that if she needed something on the island, she just needed to give him a call —  Even if he couldn\'t go with her, he could order their people to look after her.

Scarlett was at a loss for words, feeling touched. Then suddenly, something crossed her mind. She looked at Logan curiously.

"Logan, what\'s your relationship with Mr. Alvin?" Since last night she has been curious to see Alvin\'s face, similar to Logan\'s. His facial features resemble Asian people, specifically Korean. But not his accent, which is more like a local person.

Logan chuckled before he replied, "Ma\'am, he is my father. He worked for an old master since he was a teen..."

Scarlett was surprised to hear that. Her guess wasn\'t wrong. They really have a relationship, father and son.

"So that\'s why you work for Xander?"

"Yes, Ma\'am, I was trained to replace my father\'s position when Master Xander was ready to take over the Riley family."

Instantly Scarlett felt nauseous imagining Logan, who should have served Xander but now was assigned to look after her.

Suddenly countless questions popped up in Scarlett\'s mind; Would Old Riley be angry if he found out about this? Did Xander dislike Logan? That\'s why he asked him to take care of her.

"Logan, I\'m afraid your father and grandfather Riley will be angry because they know you work for me. Not for Xander..." Scarlett said regretfully.

"Don\'t worry, Logan. I will try to get Xander to reassign you to your position before the elder finds out about this..." She continues.

How could she accept Logan as her assistant? Since this man was born, he was destined to be Xander\'s assistant, not her.

"Young Madam, My father already knows. And by now, I\'m sure Old Master is aware too." Logan smiled. He could guess why the young madam was worried.

"But, Logan... You were born to serve Xander, right!?"

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Yes, ma\'am, you\'re right, but that doesn\'t matter to me. You are a young madam. Your position, in my eyes, is equal to our master. And, one day, you will give birth to Riley\'s successor, so it\'s all the same..." Logan explained seriously.

Scarlett nearly choked. What Logan said is true, but the thing is, she only married Xander because of their contract. It\'s not a real marriage, after all.

Not wanting to talk about this anymore, Scarlett busied herself on her cell phone.

It wasn\'t long before the car stopped right near the jet. Scarlett didn\'t say much. She directly boarded the plane.

This is the same jet she used when she flew with Xander. So all the crew members knew her. She didn\'t have to feel awkward. They were all very nice to her.

After she took the breakfast prepared by Alvin, she continued to sleep. She needed to recharge her energy before clashing with that manipulative woman, Lauren.

Before long...

She wakes up when the pilot announces their plane has landed.

As she got off the plane, she could see a Lincoln Black Label parked not far away from the plane. She saw a man with a familiar face standing beside the car.

She had seen this man the first time she met Xander.

"Mrs. Riley, welcome. I am James. I will accompany you while you are on this island." James greeted Scarlett politely while opening the car door for her.

"Hi James, thanks. Can you take me to the Hope hospital?" said Scarlett. She wanted to visit her father and check his condition immediately. After that, she will return to the capital.

"Yes, ma\'am..."

When Scarlett got into the car, she was surprised when she saw a driver. She thought James would drive her. So, she guesses James is not a driver but someone important in Xander\'s circle.

\'Gosh, Xander! Why do you always assign your best man to help me?\' She only smiled faintly and did not say another word on their way to the hospital.

She couldn\'t enjoy the island\'s beauty in the morning because her mind was distracted by what to expect at the hospital.

Soon they arrive at Hope Hospital.

Scarlett enters the hospital, followed by James. She didn\'t refuse James to follow her because she might need his help if that crazy woman did something evil to her. It wasn\'t that she was afraid to face that evil woman. But she needed James as a backup plan if something went wrong.

When Scarlett enters the hospital...

Lauren was standing in front of the recovery room. A few hours ago, her husband\'s surgery was finished but he still hasn\'t regained consciousness.

And, since last night Lauren had not closed her eyes. She just stood there waiting for Jonathan to wake up. She was so tired and wanted to sleep, but she had to wait for Scarlett to come. She had to meet her.

Lauren glared at her only daughter, Nicole, who was now sitting on a hospital bench not far from her.

"Are you sure that useless bitch will come this morning?" Lauren asked angrily.

"Yes, mother. Sis will come..." Nicole answered her mother\'s question patiently.

Nicole was annoyed answering her mother\'s questions because, since last night, her mother didn\'t stop asking.

"It\'s all because of your bitch sister! If she had accepted Mr. Frans, none of this would have happened..." Lauren stared at Nicole, but Nicole ignored her.
