淑女的欲望

Scarlett narrowed her eyes at Zara before saying casually, "If you know, stop rubbing salt on my heart, sista!!"

'Why does this little lady have such a sharp tongue?' Zara wonders while looking deep into Scarlett's eyes in amazement.

Scarlett smiled playfully at Zara, who was now looking at her like she was a national treasure. Her expression was priceless, making the urge to tease her cross Scarlett's mind.

"What is with the look, sista? Why are you looking at me like that? Oh my..." She covered her mouth with her hand and pulled her head back slightly as if to avoid her.

After seeing Zara roll her eyes, Scarlett continued, "...are you maybe in love with me too?" Scarlett slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Zara's cheek. "I'm sorry, sista, I'm sold out!! And, just for your information, you're beautiful like a goddess, and I love you, sista. But not that kind of love!"

Scarlett grinned as she returned to her sushi.

"You... Cough! Cough!" Zara almost choked on Scarlett's words.

Gosh!! This little girl has indeed changed. Becoming a wife makes her more sly, and she cannot be teased as usual.

Zara keeps coughing until her face turns red. After emptying the glass of water given by Cruz, she felt a little better.

"Aren't you ashamed, Zara? You are almost thirty, but you still eat like a child. Eat slowly! Or you will die from choking on your food!" Cruz sneered while shaking his head.

Zara, "..."

"You better shut up, Cruz! If you don't know anything!" Zara threatened with sharp eyes looking at Cruz.

"Oh, I was wrong!?  But why are you choking?" A look of surprise flashed across Cruz's eyes.

"I'm not talking to you!!" Zara shifted her gaze elsewhere, ignoring Cruz while trying to restrain herself from hitting this stupid Cruz on the head.

For some reason, Zara begins to feel envious of Scarlett's life. She wanted to meet her other half as well as Scarlett met Xander.

However, as much as she wanted to, none of her close male friends could make her want to spend her life with them — she hadn't found the candidate for her future husband yet!

She found one, but she couldn't touch him because he was too immature for her. The man was Scarlett's brother-in-law, Carter Riley.

And Carter doesn't seem interested in her either. She's been staying in this city for almost a week. And Carter never once came to their office — She didn't have the chance to see him again. Gosh!

'Dear God, I hope you send me my other half soon! If that man appears before me, I will keep my mind…and my standards…open and accept him with open arms...' Zara silently prayed in her heart.

When Zara was about to pick up her chopsticks and continue with her dinner, the private room door opened, and a tall, handsome man appeared in her line of sight.

Zara's eyes widened in shock. She could feel her body turn into a statue, mesmerized by his charm.

'Geez!! Did God immediately answer my prayer and send this handsome man right under my nose!?' Zara blinked a few times, trying to confirm that this man wasn't just her imagination. 'Huh! Is he still there!? Damn!! This is true!?'

And Zara could only mutter to herself, "Is this man entering the wrong room? Who is he? A man-god? Why is he so handsome and charming? Oh my god…."

At the same time, Logan sitting near the door, immediately stood up from his chair when he saw Xander standing at the door with his eyes fixed on Scarlett.

"M-Master..." Logan said.

'Humph! Does Logan know this man?' Zara frowned, and only then did she realize that this man's eyes weren't looking at her — he was seeing the person on her left.

Zara slowly looked to the side toward Scarlett. She was shocked when her mind finally realized who the man was, 'X-XANDER RILEY!!!' she hysterically screamed, but silently, only in her mind.

Logan's voice distracted Scarlett, who was busy reading her cell phone.

'Masters?' Scarlett wonders, Logan only addresses one person as his Master.

Suddenly Scarlett's pulse began to beat faster. She raised her head and how surprised she was when she met Xander's affectionate eyes looking back at her.

"X-Xander!!"

Unknowingly, Scarlett threw away her cell phone and ran toward Xander. She slammed her body between his arms and wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist.

Scarlett had utterly forgotten that all eyes in the room were on her —  she didn't care. She buried her head in his chest and inhaled his unique scent, which she profoundly missed.

She could feel Xander's warm hands stroking her back gently, making her heart beat even faster — she tightened her hands around his waist.

It wasn't long before she slowly raised her head to meet his loving gaze.

"Why, why didn't you tell me? Why?" Her soft voice was able to melt Xander's heart.

"I want to surprise you!" Xander smiled and caressed her rosy cheeks to feel her warmth. "Did you miss me this much?"

"Ooo!! I miss you so much!" Scarlett answers him in her alluring voice.

Zara and others are about to have a nosebleed watching Scarlett and Xander's PDA! They wanted to dig a hole to hide, but no one moved; they were all afraid that if they moved, it would distract the lovebirds. So, they just pretended to be invisible while cursing the two for their ignorance.

…

While the others were confused about what to do, Xander was fighting himself, being tightly hugged by Scarlett. Her sexy body pressed into his. Xander could even feel Scarlett's heartbeat, which was pounding hard, just like his. He tried to restrain himself from dragging this girl into an empty room and making out with her.

Xander slowly let go of his embrace and held her shoulder to distance them. His eyes looked at hers.

"Babe, don't you want to introduce me to your friends?" Xander's gentle voice was like a melody to Scarlett's ears. Still, a second later, she almost spat out blood when she remembered something.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom 'Damn it!! How can I forget the others?' Scarlett cursed herself inwardly. She immediately made a distance herself from Xander and looked behind her.

At this moment, even her beautiful face couldn't hide the embarrassment!

She tried to open her mouth, but no words came out. Nothing. She was utterly speechless, silent, embarrassed, but overjoyed.
