Cruz was freaking out for keeping big shots like Harvey Olson waiting.

"I'm in trouble! Mr. Olson's assistant is going to scold me!" Several times Cruz muttered to vent his frustration. Occasionally he glanced at Scarlett, who looked very calm in her seat.

Only his Boss Scarlett Piers could keep Harvey Olson waiting when other people find it so hard to meet him.

Since a few minutes ago, he had been busy telling Mr. Olson's assistant they were on their way to the location.

What made him speechless was Scarlett didn't feel the least bit depressed. She was so calm until they reached the main entrance of the Riley Hotel, then her expression seemed to change, one of surprise.

At that time, they were already 5 minutes late from the meeting time.

'Tsk! Boss... Boss... You finally noticed that you were late, huh!?'

Cruz smiled bitterly before saying, "Boss, I know...  I know... You must be panicking, too, right? Yes, yes... We're late now. Your uncle Harvey will definitely scold me. Let's go! Don't keep the old man waiting for you too long!"

Scarlett didn't reply to him, but she was genuinely surprised to learn of the meeting at the Riley Hotel. 'Had Cruz told me?'

Just before Cruz wanted to open the door, he heard Scarlett say,

"Cruz, why didn't you inform me we'd have a meeting at this hotel?" She was worried about bumping into Xander when she met Harvey inside — after all, Xander owns this hotel.

If Xander finds out she owns Red Animation Studio, things will get awkward. Because several times she refused to work with Studio Phoenix, a company owned by the Riley Group.

"Oh my God, Boss... I told you before when you were on island B!? Did you forget already? Damn!!"

Cruz glared at her but seeing Scarlett's uninterested reaction frustrated him. When they were late, his Boss was reluctant to get out of the car.

"Boss, what happened? Something is bothering you?" He asked again.

"Hmm..." Scarlett said, feeling a bit confused.

Scarlett just stared at the hotel lobby, which looked crowded that night. She seemed to be looking for someone she knew, but she didn't see the person she was looking for in the lobby.

'Am I exaggerating, feeling like I'm going to meet Xander here!? That man must be at home, right?' She thought.

Scarlett was confused with herself — she felt she missed the man and was disappointed in him. Because, after talking to him before flying back to this city, she has not received any text from him.

'Is he busy? Do I need to text him?'

As if knowing what Scarlett was thinking, Cruz, smiled. He looked back to see her, still staring blankly at the hotel lobby.

"Boss, I know what's worrying you. You must be worried about running into Studio Phoenix people inside, right?" He chuckled and turned his gaze to the lobby as well. "Don't worry, Boss, they won't recognize you. No one will recognize you as Scarlett from RAS. I've also asked Mr. Olson's assistant to ensure you don't run into them..."

Obviously, Cruz takes pride in having done this work without being asked.

Scarlett's eyes widened in shock at Cruz's words.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ 'Damn Cruz!! Suppose you only knew the person behind the wheel was the personal assistant to the owner of Studio Phoenix. In that case, you might choke to death!'

"Cruz..." Scarlett tries to stop Cruz from talking about Studio Phoenix while Logan is still in the car. But this stupid Cruz kept talking, not giving her the time to explain.

"Tsk...Tsk... Poor Studio Phoenix. Boss... can we give them a chance? They say they're going to pay us handsomely. You know, I'm tired of receiving their calls. Almost every day, a person named Mr. Carter Riley called me. He asked to meet you."

Scarlett, "..."

She had never heard of that name, but she was sure it had to be Xander's younger brother, right!?

"Mr. Riley even wanted to bribe me by giving me a VIP Card for the Riley Hotel chain and Platinum Restaurant. That way, I could get free facilities at all those places. But, I am loyal to you, Boss. I refused his offer..." Cruz said with a proud smile on his face.

Logan's face suddenly stiffened at Cruz's words. During this time, they were prevented by Cruz from meeting with Scarlett!? He could imagine how frustrated Young Master Carter must be, facing Cruz. Well, at least Ben isn't the one who handles RAS.

"Ah! I remember..." Cruz continued his words again, "There was another person who contacted me recently. His name is Mr. Ben Lewis. Tsk...Tsk... This Phoenix Studio person is very persistent in contacting us. I'm sick of their calls!!"

Logan, "..."

"Boss, it would be epic if the CEO of the Riley Group, Mr. Xander Riley, also called me!" Cruz laughed happily before continuing, "Well, Boss... I don't think you should blame me for this. I can't refuse a handsome man. If the handsome Mr. Xander calls me, I will forward the call to you. How can I refuse beauty? I can't..."

Scarlett, "..."

Logan, "..."

Feeling pressured that this stupid Cruz would talk more nonsense, Scarlett looked at Logan, still sitting behind the wheel, "Logan, did you tell him?" She asked.

Logan, who felt awkward being in the car and hearing Cruz's words, was surprised to hear Scarlett ask him. He glanced at her, "Ma'am, sorry, you mean?"

"Your master!"

"No, ma'am. As you know, I didn't report anything to the Master!" Logan explained. Even though he wanted to tell Ben and Master Xander that the person they were searching for was Young Madam, he resisted that intention. Logan worried that she would no longer trust him.

"Good! Let's go..." Scarlett grabbed her bag. She got out of the car and headed to where she was going to meet Harvey Olson — a small meeting room right beside the hall for the dinner party.

"Yaaay!! We Finally go..." Cruz followed Scarlett to enter the hotel lobby with a big grin. Finally, his Boss agreed to meet Harvey Olson at this place.

Meanwhile, Logan is feeling depressed. Should he send a message to Ben about this?
