淑女的欲望

"That's the problem!" Tyler leaned back against the back of the chair and crossed his arms across his chest. Then he looked at the two women in front of him...

He looked alternately at Zara and Scarlett before continuing his sentence, "I don't really understand what's going on, but what I heard, Rex slept with that woman!"

"DAMN IT!! That bastard, Rex Morrison. How could he sleep with his best friend's fiance?" Zara couldn't help but curse Rex.

Scarlett was utterly speechless. She knew very well Rex was a playboy. He would sleep with many beauties, but she never imagined that Rex would snatch his best friend's fiancée. What kind of bastard is he!? She couldn't help but also curse him in her heart.

"I know. At that time, I was shocked too, as you are Zara. How dare Rex sleep with Xander's fiancé?" Tyler shook his head and calmly looked at Scarlett again.

After a few minutes of giving Scarlett time to absorb this news, he asked, "What do you think, Scarlett?"

Zara, still angry at Rex, now looked at Scarlett beside her. She also wanted to know her opinion.

"I'm fine. Thanks, Ty," Scarlett smiled. "Now I know why Xander always said Rex is an untrustworthy bastard. And he was terrified when I got close to Rex..." She laughed bitterly. "Apparently, my husband is traumatized!"

Zara and Tyler exchanged glances. They seemed surprised by Scarlett's calmness. She apparently didn't care that Xander had a fiancé once and didn't tell her about it. He even almost got married.

"Gosh! I can't believe my bro Rex could do such a thing. Stealing someone's fiancé and sleeping with her was a horrible act of a friend! I mean, no respected and honorable friend would do that." Scarlett continued.

When Scarlett saw Zara and Tyler in mute mode the entire time she talked, she stared at them without batting an eyelid. She narrowed her eyes at them,  "Why are you guys looking at me like I'm a treasure!?"

"S-Scarlett, aren't you jealous because Xander once had a fiancé who will soon be his wife, and he didn't tell you about it?" Zara wants to know Scarlett's real feelings, afraid she was hurt but doesn't want them to know.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Jealous!? Why should I be jealous?" Scarlett chuckled. "Well, that's his past. It has nothing to do with me, and if he didn't want to share it with me, I had to respect that."

Zara is amazed to see how mature this little girl is. She felt proud of her!

"The most important thing now, Xander, is mine. He is my lawfully wedded husband, and he said he loves me, and I could see in his eyes that he was telling the truth. That should be enough for me! If I wanted more than that, that would be selfish." Scarlett spoke calmly.

Even though, in her heart, she was actually worried. She worried that one day, that woman suddenly appeared between her and Xander—how would Xander react? Does he still love that woman? This thought somehow bothered Scarlett, even though she tried to ignore it.

"Wow, our girl Scarlett has grown up a lot now!" Praise Zara while ruffling Scarlett's hair.

Tyler didn't say a word. He just smiled at the girl in front of him, who was giggling.

The three of them continued chatting for a few minutes; about many things.

...

Before long, they decided to leave the restaurant and head for the RAS Building.

However, in the lobby, Scarlett met someone. It was Carter Riley.

"Sister-in-law? Are you done with your lunch already? How not nice of you, huh!? Why didn't you call me so we could have lunch together?"

After getting the news from Platinum Restaurant Manager that Scarlett was having lunch with friends, Carter immediately finished his meeting at the cafe on the ground floor.

"Young Master Riley, I know that you are a busy man. It will be lousy of me if I bother such a man." Scarlett teased him with a faint smile. Then, she looked at Tyler and pulled him a bit to get closer to her. She needed to introduce Tyler to Carter.

"Hahaha, liar. You know I'm not as busy as my brother!" Carter then looked at the people around her and was surprised to see two new people he had never seen before. "Sis, why didn't you introduce us?"

"...Carter, this is Tyler Park. You noticed his name, right?" Scarlett smiled after remembering what happened on Grandpa Riley's birthday when Ella Harris insisted Tyler Park owned RAS.

Instantly a big smile appeared on Carter's face. Of course, he remembered that night the Harris family lost pretty badly!

Carter stepped forward and reached for a handshake with Tyler, "Mr. Park, nice to meet you. I'm Carter Riley, CEO of Studio Phoenix. We have an appointment to meet tomorrow. However, it seems my luck is good, and we meet now!"

Tyler is surprised to learn this man is Xander Riley's younger brother. No wonder he saw a slight resemblance between them.

Not only was Tyler surprised, but Zara, standing behind chatting with Cruz, was also surprised. She stopped talking to Cruz and glanced at Carter.

Staring at him closer took Zara by surprise; This young man looked dashing in a dark blue suit. His noble aura attracted her the first time she saw him; He had a strong jawline, a sharp nose, and blue eyes that made him look perfect in her eyes.

And, the most important thing is, this man was her type. 'W-Why is he so handsome?' Zara can't help but be mesmerized by Carter's handsomeness.

While Zara was still lost in her fantasy, Tyler immediately shook Carter's hand, "Mr. Riley, nice to meet you too!"

"I will wait for your presence in our office tomorrow, sir." Carter smiled.

"See you tomorrow!"

Zara suddenly grabbed Cruz's arm, "C-Cruz... Please hold me!" She stuttered when she witnessed Carter's blooming smile.

"W-Why? Are you sick!?" asked Cruz in a low voice. He was worried about her.

"No! But Mr. Carter Riley smiled at me. I felt my knees turn to tofu!!" Zara blushed while gazing at Cruz, who looked at her with those ridiculous-looking eyes.

"What are you talking about, Zara!? He was not smiling at you. He was smiling at Tyler!" Cruz sneered in disbelief seeing Zara targeting Carter as her prey. Gosh! This woman, how fast she got to her target. But, what a pity, she had her eyes on the wrong person, Carter Riley!

He believes Carter Riley will not be attracted to women who are older than him.

Cruz laughed inwardly. At the same time, he shifted his gaze to Carter and nodded to him as their gazes met.
