The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Xander raises his hand to stop her from speaking, "Don't believe the trash news out there. Just trust me!" His voice was firmer, and his eyes radiated honesty.

Scarlett was now confused about whether this man was actually honest with her or not.

Did he really not have a lunch date with Angela Lane? Or did they just happen to meet at the restaurant entrance!?

While Scarlett was lost in her thoughts, Xander took out his cell phone and typed quickly. A few seconds later, there was a 'ding' sound on Scarlett's cell phone.

She took out her cell phone and was surprised to see a new message from Xander. Confused about why he was sending her a message, she raised her head to look at him without opening the message.

Before Scarlett could ask him, Xander said, "That's CCTV footage. You can see if you don't believe me." He said, then stood up from his seat. "Good night!"

Xander left the dining room, leaving Scarlett to see his back disappear from her sight.

She silently took a deep breath and started watching the CCTV footage. Only for a moment, a smile bloomed on her face.

"I believe you, Xander Riley!" She murmurs.

Next Morning.

It was 7 in the morning when Scarlett arrived at the dining room. She was alone in the dining room. On the table, she saw a set of cutlery neatly arranged where she had sat last night.

"Erica, where is Xander?" She asked.

'Aren't they husband and wife? Why did she ask?' Erica was taken aback by the Young Madam's question. She felt strange but immediately realized maybe Master had left while Young Madam was still sleeping, and he didn't have the heart to wake her up.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "No, ma'am... But Master left early in the morning." Replied Erica politely.

'He left, just like that? Geez!! The Ice Prince left without telling me?' She was speechless.

"Erica, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

If only she had known Xander had left first, she would have continued her beauty sleep.

She is still sleepy now. Last night she had trouble sleeping — she had so many things going on in her mind, preventing her from sleeping until dawn — maybe she only slept 2 hours.

Well actually, she didn't mind getting up early, but at least Erica told her if Xander wasn't going to eat with her so she didn't have to hurry to wash. She would only enter the dining room in her nightgown.

Her first day as a Young madam in this house started, but somehow her mood was so low. She decided not to explore this mansion. She would go straight to her office to continue sleeping in her apartment.

"Mam, sorry. But, Master, ask me to wake you up at seven for breakfast. Master said you must eat breakfast before you start your activity." Erica explained while pulling out a chair for Scarlett. "Madam, please sit down…."

'Oh! At least, the Ice Prince asked her maid to remind her to have breakfast. How cute he is, huh!' Her irritation slightly faded.

"Thank you, Erica!" She sat and started to eat.

After Scarlett finished breakfast, she asked Erica to tell Logan to prepare the vehicle. Then she went straight to her room.

Scarlett was still not used to having someone prepare her clothes or help her with all her needs. She usually did it herself. Like now, she felt awkward while Maddy and Erica were busy helping her.

Several times she refused to let Maddy and Erica help her. Still, they were so afraid of being scolded by Xander that they ignored her and continued to help.

Looks like she needs to work on her patience. Not only does she have to be patient with the Ice Prince, Xander Riley, but now she also has to get used to the presence of Maddy and Erica.

'My God... Being the madam of this house is so tiring.'

Before long...

Scarlett was in the car with Logan.

To her surprise, Logan had only said a few words since they were in the car. Scarlett didn't mind Logan's silence. But she had to tell Logan the rules he had to follow before they arrived at her office. She had to make this clear.

"Logan, do you know where we are going?" Scarlett's soft voice suddenly made Logan glance at her through the rearview mirror.

Scarlett wants to test how far Xander's investigation is about her. Because she was sure her office address where she works would not be easy to find. She hides her identity closely. Unless Xander knows a capable hacker, he should know about her workplace.

"I don't know, mam," Logan said. He planned to ask her after they left the Pearl Garden complex.

Scarlet felt relieved.

"You can go to Palm Avenue Street, RAS Building."

"Yes, mam…"

"Logan, I wanted to remind you before we get there." Scarlett saw Logan glancing at her through the rearview mirror, but only for a second. The man shifted his gaze forward.

She smiles before continuing, "What you see in my office or what's happening around me, you shouldn't share with anyone, including Xander! I hope you can keep it. Because if you don't keep it, then you will face the consequences from me."

Logan felt his body tense up, hearing the Young Madam's voice contain a real threat. He could feel her aura now was different from usual, just like his Master when he was angry — cold and intimidated.

He stole a glance behind him, wanting to ensure his Master, Xander Riley, wasn't there. And he was shocked when he saw her eyes looking back at him coldly.

"I, I promise... Young madam. Don't worry. I always keep my word. Because Master Xander assigned me to work for you, I will follow your rules." He said sincerely, without even glancing at her.

Logan already knows about this. Because last night Master Xander had warned him about it. Thus, from now on, he would dedicate his time to her.
