淑女的欲望

After finishing all her business at the hospital, Scarlett immediately left. She had to fly back to the capital.

She couldn\'t cancel her dinner appointments with Harvey Olson, a famous movie director. Too many times had she called off his invitations to come to his dinner parties.

Today Scarlett had no choice because Harvey was throwing a big party, and all the who\'s-who in the country\'s film industry were invited. As a good citizen of Astington and someone who cares a lot about the film industry, she must come.

It only takes a few minutes to arrive at the airport. And as soon as Scarlett got on the jet, she saw her nanny, Aunt Lana.

Scarlett could see the discomfort from Aunt Lana\'s gesture as if she was scared. When Aunt Lana saw her, a smile framed Aunt Lana, and her eyes turned bright.

"Y-Young M-Miss... You\'ve finally come. I\'ve been waiting for you." Scarlett hugged this short chubby woman warmly. "Miss, this plane is empty. Why are there no other passengers?" She confusedly asked after Scarlett released her warm hug.

"Auntie, this is a private jet. Only the two of us will be on this plane..." Scarlett smiled as she sat in the seat next to Aunt Lana.

Aunt Lana\'s eyes widened in surprise when she heard they would take a private jet. Taking a regular plane is already expensive for her, Let alone taking a private jet. She was confused and worried at the same time.

"Young Miss, this is expensive. W-Why you spend your money to rent this plane!?" Lana asked anxiously. She knew her young Miss had just graduated from college last year and was recently jobless.

"Auntie, this is my husband\'s private jet." Scarlett can\'t hide her status with Xander from Aunt Lana. Well, she will find out sooner or later anyway.

"W-WHAT!! HUSBAND?" Instantly Aunt Lana\'s face turned white as paper. She was shocked.

"Yes, my husband." Scarlett can\'t help but smile, looking at how shocked Aunty Lana is.

"Wait, did you marry a rich old man? Oh no... Miss, why did you do that? You\'re still young and beautiful…." Lana\'s eyes suddenly reddened. She felt sad for the miserable fate of her young Miss.

If only her biological mother were still alive, young Miss would not be this miserable. "Huhuhu, young miss, your mother will be sad up there if you marry someone who should be your father…."

Lana\'s sobs were so loud that the cabin crew in the aisle behind were shocked to hear them.

\'Master Xander Riley is an old man?\' The cabin crew was speechless. How could someone call a handsome young man like Master Xander, an old man?

No... No... he couldn\'t let this go wrong. He had to clarify that his boss was young, handsome, and powerful.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Before the cabin crew wanted to correct Lana, he paused because Scarlett motioned for him to stop. He smiled respectfully at Scarlett and walked quickly to meet the pilot.

"Hahaha, Auntie, this is a long story. I\'ll tell you later. But don\'t worry. My husband is still young, and he was not my parents\' choice but my own choice."

Scarlett found it funny to think about Xander\'s aging face. Gosh! Regardless of his age, Xander will be more handsome. He is going to age like a fine wine.

"Young miss, you\'re not teasing me, are you?" Lana looked at Scarlett while wiping away her invisible tears  — she still couldn\'t digest this information.

"Of course not. But, I will tell you later about my marriage. Now there is something important I want to know and want you to answer me..." Scarlett\'s gaze turned serious.

Lana nodded slowly.

"Since when did you stop working at Piers?" She was sure that Aunty Lana did not know about her father\'s condition.

"When young Miss left, I met with your father the next day to ask permission to stop working. Your father did not allow me then, but that evil woman immediately agreed. Hahahaha... young miss, I\'m thrilled I didn\'t need to beg..."

Aunt Lana\'s eyes beamed as she talked about it as if she were free like a bird after leaving the Piers family.

"That woman seems to enjoy getting rid of everyone close to me in that house." Scarlett couldn\'t help but laugh bitterly.

"Yes, Yes... Miss. That woman is malicious. I always pray she will receive her retribution soon." Aunt Lana suddenly stopped talking when she remembered something. "M-Miss, I have something to tell you..."

But before she could say a word, Scarlett\'s phone rang. Lana pressed her lips tightly. Somehow she was reluctant to tell her. This news is not necessarily accurate; if it is true, it will hit young miss hard, she must be sad.

Lana didn\'t want to make this kind and beautiful soul sad. She took care of her for nearly ten years before she went to the US to study. Since then, she had addressed young Miss as her own daughter.

But, the night before she resigned, she overheard Mr. Piers talking with Lauren about something she shouldn\'t have heard.

\'Should I tell her?\' Lana was perplexed.

As Lana was deep in thought, Scarlett was surprised to see Xander\'s name appear on her phone screen. Her smile grew wider as she picked up the phone and greeted him as cheerful as ever.

"Everything okay there?" His soft, deep voice could make Scarlett feel like she was flying to cloud nine.

This time, Scarlett felt like a greedy woman — She wanted to hear his warm voice. Wanted to see his face. Wanted to be by his side all day long.

\'Scarlett!! You are crazy. You better wake up!\' She could only scold herself.

"Yes. Thank you, Xander. James helped me a lot. And the Hospital Director too... They were very nice to me."

"That\'s all I can help..." Now in his office, Xander stands up from his CEO chair and stands by the glass window, looking at the street below.

Something that was troubling his mind now, this girl found a doctor for her father, but he doubted that the doctor was able to cure her father.

He had to warn her.
