The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 190 A Familiar Face

?Scarlett tried to open her mouth, but no words came out. She was utterly speechless.

While Scarlett was flabbergasted, Xander, at the same time, saw a familiar face among Scarlett's friends. He looked surprised.

"Tyler Park?" Xander raised his eyebrows. "What are you doing here? Do you know my wife?" Xander's words made Scarlett, who was dazed, immediately look at Xander, then at Tyler, who looked at each other. She smiled.

"Hey Xander, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, huh! You still look the same as before..." Tyler smiled and reached out for a handshake with Xander, which he immediately warmly welcomed.

Scarlett walked to them and stood beside Xander, facing Tyler.

"Baby..." Before he could finish, Scarlett said,

"Xander, I know you know him. But let me introduce him to you. Tyler Park is my CEO for our LA office." Scarlett smiled at Xander's shocked expression.

Xander turned his gaze to Scarlett, a look of confusion evident in his eyes. He asked, "How do you know him?"

"I know Scarlett through Rex..." This time, Tyler answered, but his voice suddenly went silent when he said a taboo name. He worried that Xander would get angry after hearing that name.

But Xander looked calm and didn't say anything. A relieved Tyler continued, "Well, I've been working for Scarlett since I graduated..."

Xander is shocked by what he just heard. He never imagined that Tyler had known his wife for that long—a sudden feeling of envy welled up in his heart.

While Tyler and Xander were talking, Scarlett suddenly remembered Zara. She needed to introduce her to Xander as well. Still, when Scarlett saw Zara, she was taken aback — The girl looked pale, and her eyes stared at Xander without blinking as if she had been hit by Xander's spell.

Scarlett felt amused. It was rare to see her friend like this. She immediately approached Zara and patted her shoulder gently, "Are you okay!?" she grinned, catching her priceless reaction.

"U-Ugh..." Zara gasped as she looked at Scarlett. "U-Um... I, I'm fine! Girl, S-Scarlett... Why didn't you say your husband would come to this place too!? Geez! You almost killed me with a heart attack!" Zara said in a whisper, worried that Xander would hear their conversation.

She is embarrassed because she fantasizes that Xander is her ideal man, her prince charming. Damn it!! If Scarlett knew what she was thinking right now, this girl would probably send her to hell, right!?

"Would you believe me when I say; I didn't even know he was back?" Scarlett shook her head. She was also still in a state of shock.

Scarlett continued, "My Husband wanted to surprise me. Well, now he is here, are you ready? I'll introduce him to you..." These past few days, Zara has been too loud, bugging her and asking about Xander all the time.

Zara doesn't say anything but nods her head quickly.

"Xander..." Scarlett's soft voice made Xander stop talking to Tyler and turn to her. Only this time, Xander saw another woman in the room. And she is standing beside Scarlett.

"Xander, this is another best friend of mine, her name is Zara Marks, and she also works at RAS as Legal Director..."

Zara looks shy. She smiled politely at Xander. "Hello, Mr. Riley. It was an honor for me to meet you." She offers Xander an awkward handshake and curtsy. It's a really awkward curtsy-handshake combo. Luckily, Tyler suddenly interrupts, saving Xander from responding to Zara's weird welcome.

"Okay, guys, enough introductions, we have to sit down now, or Scarlett will pass out! She looks a little pale from hunger..." Tyler's words took Xander by surprise.

Xander turned his gaze to Scarlett, how surprised he was; his wife did look a bit paler —He immediately approached her. "Are you alright!?" he whispered.

"Huh!? Do I look that pale?" Scarlett cupped her face with her hands. "Looks like you have a problem with your eyes, Tyler. I'm fine! This is how I always looked at this time of the day." She smiled at Xander to calm him down.

Zara, who was ignored by Xander, felt awkward. She had retracted her hand and stood upright while cursing Tyler in her heart when Xander turned his gaze to Scarlett.

???d? n??a| ?om 'What perfect timing, Mr. Tyler Damn Park!!' Zara sends her deadly glare at Tyler. After feeling a little better, she followed them to sit down.

But now, she kept her distance from Scarlett, not wanting to disturb the love birds. And it's also for the sake of her insanity. The two lovebirds seem to think no one else is in the room.

Scarlett and Xander's PDA with each other could trigger Zara and the others to develop diabetes due to consuming too many super sweet PDA moments between Xander and Scarlett. Gosh!!

"Baby, continue with your dinner..." Xander said after they sat down. He pulled her, sitting close to him as if he didn't want to lose her.

"Let me order for you..." Scarlett was just about to call the waitress, she heard Xander say.

"Baby, no need! Let's share your food..." Xander said after he received clean chopsticks from Logan.

Without waiting for Scarlett to say anything, she started eating the sushi from Scarlett's plate. However, after a while, he didn't see her eating either.

Xander stopped and glanced at her. "Are you mad I stole your food?" He chuckled at her cute expression; her mouth formed an O shape while her eyes were piercingly fixed on him.

Scarlett blushed. She tried to say something a few times but failed to form any articulate words.

Before she could say another word, her eyes widened in shock as a piece of sushi stuffed her mouth.

Scarlett, "..."

She felt very awkward while chewing her food silently. After managing to swallow it, she narrowed her eyes at her husband.

"I, I can eat alone, Xander! You eat first. Seems you come here straight from the airport, right?"

"Hmm! I miss you so much, so I came here right away." Xander said while starting to eat. He was hungry because, during his flight, he did not eat anything.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Scarlett still couldn't believe this man had returned to her side.

Xander didn't answer right away. He finished his dinner leisurely.

After that, he brought his head closer and whispered to her, "...that's because I want to surprise you. And, you know what? I can't delay our wedding night, or my little wife might find another handsome man!!" He put his hand behind her head and kissed her forehead gently.

Scarlett almost choked after hearing his sultry words. Her face turned red and almost made everyone nosebleed seeing their intimacy.
