BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 Defeat
"I'm sure, this time, they will succeed. And hopefully, the key person from Red Animation Studio is willing to meet our master." Ben clenched his fist as if sending a spirit to his master.
Logan, "..."
"Listen, Ben, the person you're looking for is now enjoying her dinner in a corner, minding none of your business!" Logan wanted to say that, but, at this moment, he was conflicted with himself. So, the words returned to his throat without leaving his lips.
'Fuck!! Why is it hard to keep secrets?' Logan could only curse for being in such a strange situation — between two powers.
For now, he would listen in silence. But later, his face turns stiff when he hears how determined Ben spoke about their movie project and his positive attitude toward meeting the RAS Director.
The longer he listened to Ben's rambling, the more he felt like his ears were bleeding.
Unable to take it anymore, Logan finally decides to be honest with Ben. After all, master Xander will soon meet the young madam at this party, right!? So, he will not be blamed.
"Ben, I want to tell you something..." Logan's gaze became so focused looking at Ben. However, at the same time, a hot and tall woman called Ben's name and distracted Logan's attention to continue his words.
They looked in the direction of the woman's voice. Both looked shocked at Angela Lane, standing a few steps from their seat with her famous million-dollar smile framing her beautiful face.
"Miss Lane..." They both greet her with awkward smiles.
"Guys, Xander also came to this party?" Angela Lane asked, not believing what she was seeing.
That man rarely came to events like this. But if Ben is here, it means Xander Riley is also in this place. She was happy about meeting him again.
Ben and Logan didn't immediately answer, but both looked at each other as if they were talking about something through their surprised gaze.
"Yes, Miss Lane," Ben replied.
"Can you take me to see him? I have something to talk to him about..." Angela Lane couldn't wait to see Xander. This is her chance to get trending news if they are seen together at this party.
"I'm sorry, I can't. Mr. Riley is meeting someone." Ben said.
Although Angela smiled at Ben's refusal, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "Okay, I understand. I'll be waiting for him." She said and excused herself. If Ben can't get her to Xander, she will find him.
With light steps, she started exploring the hall looking for Xander.
"Ben, what will happen if they meet?" Logan asks Ben after seeing Angela disappear into the crowd. "Will there be more rumors in the media about them?"
"Don't worry. The media here have been warned not to write gossip news but only cover things related to Mr. Harvey Olson's movies!"
Xander's charisma couldn't stop women from chasing him, even though he isn't single anymore. Because of that, Logan felt concerned that the young madam would see Master Xander with Angela. He said, "I hope the Master doesn't give Angela Lane a chance..."
"Master knows what to do. You don't need to worry." Ben said.
While Logan and Ben are worried for Scarlett. At the same time, Scarlett feels her stomach is going to explode. She had eaten so much. Now, she thought she just wanted to lie down and sleep.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom She didn't want to eat anymore, but the glutton Cruz looked excited. It looked like he still had room in his stomach to eat more. Just looking at him made all her energy run out.
"Boss, are you sure you're full!? We haven't even tried the dessert yet. I see a lot of tempting cakes over there..." Cruz couldn't believe his Guild Leader's defeat before trying all kinds of food at this party.
'Has her ability to eat decreased now?' Cruz thought while studying her face carefully. 'Humph! Is this because she is married?' He could feel his body tense just thinking about it. He felt like reporting this news to the other members. This is a big deal.
Scarlett, not caring about replying to him. She just stood up from her seat and left.
"Humph! Where are you going, boss!? Let me get the dessert. You wait here, boss!?" Cruz chased her with the thought she wanted to get their dessert. But it turns out he guessed wrong.
"I'm going to the restroom. You go get our dessert," Scarlett said and walked quickly to the toilet avoiding the crowd in the hall.
This place is getting too lively for Scarlett now. That means it's time to go. She didn't like this kind of place after all. She might have been sleeping at her house by now if it wasn't for the food.
"I know it!! The Food Slave Guild Master will never be defeated!" Cruz smiled and went to get their dessert.
After Scarlett finished in the toilet, her cell phone vibrated. In a second, her facial expression turned annoyed when she saw Lauren's name appear on the screen.
'This woman! Why is she still calling me?' Scarlett didn't want to talk to the bitch. She put back her cell phone in her bag and immediately left the toilet; however, she collided with someone.
"You! Stupid woman..." The low-pitch sound but insulting words made Scarlett flinch.
Scarlett turned her gaze to the woman who was cursing at her. She gasped at seeing Angela Lane, a movie star, right before her. Scarlett quickly took a step back to give them some distance. Only now did she realize that she was indeed an idiot. How could she ruin Angle Lane's gorgeous blue dress!?
'Gosh!! Why now!?' Scarlett could only scold her luck. Just as she was about to leave this place, a new problem arose.
"I'm really, really sorry. I didn't see you there," Scarlett said as she saw the reddish stains on Angela's pale blue dress and the glass of wine in her hand.
Scarlett was speechless. 'Why is this woman taking wine to the toilet?'
