淑女的欲望

Xander's sudden arrival could throw Scarlett and the others' plans off.

After dinner, Scarlett says goodbye to Zara and the others. She enters Xander's car while he is still outside talking to Tyler. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she was sure they were both talking about their past that she didn't want to know about.

Sitting in the back, Scarlett narrowed her eyes at Logan, who had seated beside Jones, the chauffeur.

Scarlett felt betrayed. This man, how dare he not say anything about Xander's sudden return!? If she had known, she would have prepared herself, such as calming her heart which had been erratically beating since Xander appeared until now.

"Logan! Did you know that Xander will come back today?" Scarlett's voice was soft, but in Logan's ears, he could feel her words contained a threat. He felt chills and glanced at her.

"Ma'am, I don't know!" said Logan honestly. He was also surprised because a few days ago, he had heard from Ben that Xander would not be back until next week. And, Xander's presence tonight surprised him, just like Scarlett.

Scarlett was still narrowing her eyes, trying to read Logan's expression. However, after a few moments, she believed that Logan was telling the truth, then she turned her gaze to Jones.

"What about you, Jones? Since when did you know my husband would come back today?" She asked Jones, who was behind the wheel as if he were invisible in the car.

"I just found out this afternoon, Ma'am! Ben called me to get the car ready at the airport..." Jones explained.

Scarlett was stunned. If Ben could call Jones, it means he isn't back with Xander, right!?

"Jones, is my husband back alone?" Scarlett worries that Xander might fly back with his secretary, Zoey!

"No, ma'am. But, he came back with two bodyguards." Jones was clearly confused by the question. How can master Xander fly alone? He never missed taking a few staff with him on his business trips.

Somehow hearing Jones' explanation, Scarlett felt relieved.

Before long, Xander got into the car and pulled Scarlett to a seat on his lap.

Scarlett was shocked. She blushed while glaring at him, "There's Logan and..." before she finished her words, the partition slowly rose to separate them.

Scarlett "..."

"You are my wife. Why do you feel embarrassed?" Xander said as he raised his hand and slowly took off her ugly gray wig. "Baby, I can't stand seeing you in this wig!"

He threw away her wig and smoothed her hair gently. Even though she has been wearing a wig since morning, her silky hair still looks beautiful. It made Xander unable to stop playing with her hair.

Then he looked at her face that he missed so much, "You are so beautiful, baby!!" his hand now caressed her cheek and landed on her soft lips.

After hearing Xander's continuous praise, Scarlett had utterly lost her speaking ability. And his touch awakened something inside her, as her pulse quickened and she felt her body turn warm.

She could only lower her gaze to look at his chest to avoid eye contact.

As a woman, Scarlett felt like she was on cloud nine when hearing his sweet words. Still, she also felt nervous when this man started touching her — this was their first initiated contact after being separated for three weeks.

"Lying here..." Xander rested her head on his shoulder. Scarlett could only try to fit her petite body in his arms.

They didn't say anything for a moment but just hugged, enjoying the warmth of their bodies while lost in each other's thoughts.

After some time...

Scarlett could feel Xander's chin resting on her head as he said, "Baby, we're going to be staying in my presidential suite at the Riley Hotel from now on..."

She was surprised to hear that. Before she wanted to sit straight to see Xander's face,  his hand held her to stay still.

"Why?" Scarlett asked curiously. She wondered if this was part of his plan for their wedding night. She felt shy even from thinking about it.

She closed her eyes again while trying to calm her mind!

"I asked them to renovate the entire second floor. So we'll be living in a hotel for the time being until our house is finished. And, I thought, since you're still busy with your work, it would be easier if we stayed in the middle of the city, right?"

Scarlett smiled, feeling touched. Xander really considered it. The distance from the White Mansion to Palm Avenue, her office, is about an hour's drive. And if they live in the middle of the city, she only needs to drive about 30-35 minutes.

"Oh! That's a great idea, Xander!" Scarlett said happily. "But, what about my stuff? I need to bring my clothes and my other things..."

"Not to worry, Paul has already moved all our stuff to the hotel. And you'll love our suite because you'll have your home office too."

This is Xander's biggest concern because, for now, in the white mansion, Scarlett doesn't have a home office. She usually works in her bedroom. So, that's why he asked to renovate the entire second floor of their house to make a particular room for her.

"Is that true?" Scarlett immediately sat up. She happily smiled while looking at Xander.

"Hmm! Are you happy?"

"Yes. I'm happy! So, Xander... I can install high-tech computers in the hotel room, right?" She asked happily.

Scarlett had wanted Xander's permission to set up a particular room so she could install her high-tech computer. The exact specs she has in her office on Palm Avenue and her home in New York. So, she can work from home.

"Uhm, of course, baby! Do anything you want. Ah, give me your list computer. I'll have someone fix it for you tomorrow!"

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Scarlett nodded. She couldn't wait to see her new place. She was so excited that she didn't notice a mischievous smile that emerged from the corners of Xander's lips.

'Sorry, babe!! For a few days, you will not go anywhere. You will stay in bed!!' Xander silently talks to himself.

He felt happy that he wouldn't let this girl go for a few days after their wedding night!
