淑女的欲望

When she looked around, she was surprised to realize that Logan and Carter were still there, staring at her with expressions that were hard to describe!

"X-Xander... Let's have a video call. All right, call me in 5 minutes. I'll be back in my room. Hmm... I love you too! See you soon..." Scarlett ended the call.

Then, she narrowed her eyes at Logan and Carter in turn. But the two men just stared at her silently. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?" She frowned, looking at their odd expression.

Not hearing their answer, Scarlett could only shake her head and ran towards the houses leaving Logan and Carter, who were still stunned to see her.

After a few minutes, Scarlett left them...

Logan and Carter returned to see the bonfire in front of them. Once again, they were lost in their own thoughts.

Shortly after.

"Man, do you know what!?"

Logan turned his gaze toward Carter, he frowned before saying, "What?"

"Man... I suddenly want to find my soulmate! Seeing Scarlett and Big Brother doing PDA naturally makes me envious! Now, I realize what I wish for the next woman I like. I want to love her and settle with her!" Carter's words were casual, but Logan could tell this guy was intensely serious.

A look of surprise flashed across Logan's eyes after hearing Carter's words, but in the end, he chuckled while staring at him.

"Finally, our Young Master has come to his senses! You should have done this a long time ago!!" Logan sneered.

Carter glared at Logan. "I'm trying to be honest here, man!!"

"Can't you tell the difference between praise and ridicule?" Logan smiled politely, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. "Young Master, I was only trying to compliment you, alright!!?"

Carter was speechless.

Logan continued, "Stop being a playboy, or you will get your Guinness Book of Record for having a lot of women out there. You like to date a woman like you like to change your clothes! Never settle for one. Yet here you are, wanting to be like Master Xander, who had settled with one gorgeous woman."

Suddenly a vein popped up on Carter's forehead, and he was not pleased to hear Logan's words. Feeling tired of talking to him, he shook his head and ignored this stupid Logan!

But, before long, Carter heard Logan say something that made him chuckle. He looked at him with a surprised expression.

"If you were me, who watched their sweetness every day, you would probably be rushed to the hospital with acute diabetes!" Logan laughed.

"Hahaha, indeed!" Carter can't help but laugh.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Well... you're not the only one who feels like having a woman. But I feel that way too!!" Logan said and slowly turned his gaze toward the fire.

"Indeed, man!! We should work hard to meet our other half!!" Carter smiled.

They both sat silently by the bonfire, lost in their thoughts.

...

While in Xander's bedroom on the second floor. Scarlett sat before her laptop and smiled at Xander on her laptop screen.

"Say something..." Scarlett finally opened her mouth after they had just had a staring contest, and neither of them would budge.

"Ma'am, I wish I could teleport there!!"

"Oh please, Mr. Riley! Stop saying those words. There's only one thing you can do now. Abandon your work and fly back to me!" Scarlett teased him. She knew this man would never do that and couldn't force him either.

She still remembered what he had said. This business trip had been arranged long before they met. Therefore, she respected his decision to go on this business trip.

Xander didn't say a word. He just smiled at her with his loving gaze.

When they were talking about Xander's life in Europe, Scarlett suddenly remembered something, "Xander, I want to ask you for help!"

"What is it, babe?" Xander sat up straighter, surprised that this girl would finally ask him for help.

However, unease rose in his heart when he saw the expression on her face slowly change; from happy now to focus.

"This is about Studio Phoenix! I just found out you overpaid us!"

A frown appeared on Xander's face, and for a while, he seemed to be thinking about something. After a few moments, he said, "Yeah! So is that a problem?"

"Hmm! I can't accept it. This is far from my normal deal with other companies."

Scarlett was worried that there would be trouble ahead, especially the Studio Phoenix, related to Riley Group, her husband's company.

Xander was speechless.

How could this girl refuse the offer? Shouldn't she be overjoyed to earn more money? Xander couldn't understand her way of thinking.

"Why did you refuse? Can you tell me the reason?"

"It's simple! Our offer to you will be the same as other companies. I can't give you the privilege of overpaying them!" She said in a relaxed manner after uttering a random excuse.

Xander, "..."

'Does this girl really understand business?' Xander suddenly suspects that she wasn't involved in RAS management. Or, RAS would go bankrupt in the next few months if she keeps thinking this way.

He wanted to say something, but he held himself back after seeing the serious and determined look in her eyes. He could only chuckle in his heart.

He couldn't win this conversation!

"Can you accept it? Just this once. You can break your company rules, right?" Xander smiled, trying to convince her for one last time, but his efforts were in vain when he saw her shaking her head steadily.

"I'm sorry. I can't!!"

After a few seconds of deep thought, Xander finally agreed with her.

"Fine! I'll ask Carter to follow your request. But..."

Scarlett frowned. She would not accept anything from Studio Phoenix outside of the contract.

"Forget it! Let's talk about this when I get back!" He smiled.

"Huh!? But what? Can you tell me now?" Scarlett became curious.

"No! We'd better talk about it when we meet, babe! It's such a sensitive topic..."

Xander couldn't help but laugh when he saw her frown and her beautiful eyelashes flutter as she blinked a few times. She looks adorable and could make him miss her even more!
