Chapter 38 Brother In Law
Chapter 38 Brother In Law
?Scarlett was happy to hear his answer, but her mood suddenly dropped again when she heard how Logan called her.
She needed to ask this man to change how he addressed her.
"Logan, stop calling me that. Others will know that I married your master!" Scarlett doesn't want all her staff to know about her marriage with Xander. Not for now, on her first day at work, right!?
"Ma'am, you did marry Master Xander, didn't you?" Logan asked, confused.
Scarlett, "..."
"Didn't you say before that you will do everything I ask?"
"Yes, ma'am…"
"Then, call me by my first name…."
"Sorry, Ma'am. That I can not." Answer Logan firmly. How could he do that? Calling her first name felt impolite.
Scarlett pinched her glabella. She felt dizzy speaking to Logan.
"Shall I call you Young Miss? Or, Miss Scarlett?"
"Whatever, as long as it's not the Young Madam." Answer Scarlett.
"Miss Scarlett then…." Said Logan briefly.
Scarlett ignored Logan. She busied herself reading something on her laptop. A few minutes later, Scarlett was stunned to read an email from Cruz. Annoyed, she took her cell phone and dialed Cruz's number.
"Boss! Where are you? I've been waiting for you in the lobby, but you haven't arrived!? Did you get lost in coming here? Do you want me to send a driver to pick you up?" Cruz's voice sounded worried on the other end, barraging Scarlett with questions.
He had been waiting for 20 minutes in the lobby, but Scarlett had not come. He had thought Scarlett lived nearby, but that didn't seem to be the case. She most likely lived in a location far from Palm Avenue.
"Why did you give me so many appointments on my first day?" Scarlett asked, completely ignoring his question.
Scarlett felt exhausted, seeing how packed her schedule was. Today, she just wanted to rest in her apartment and continue sleeping. She will be busy drawing in her studio after lunch, but Cruz ruined her plans.
Cruz, standing in the lobby while his eyes were on the street, was taken aback by her words. What the hell is she talking about?
He smirked before saying, "My God, Boss… didn't you say you wanted to work today?"
"Yes!"
"So why are you scolding me, boss?" He continued, not giving Scarlett time to speak, "Yes, Yes, I arranged meetings with our branch offices in several countries. I don't think you should blame me for this, boss. It's because you took too long a vacation. I guess they all miss you…."
Scarlett was utterly speechless hearing this stupid Cruz.
"I'm on my way there. Please wait for me in the lobby and ask the security leader and the building manager to come too. I want to introduce someone to all of you."
She needed to introduce Logan to them. It would be troublesome if the front office and security staff didn't recognize him. They're going to kick him out, right!?
'Introducing someone?' Cruz was curious. Having worked for Scarlett for so many years and this was the first time she wanted to introduce someone to him. Countless questions suddenly filled his brain.
'Must be a man, right? Oh, my Lord!! That's why the boss chose not to stay in her house because of this man. Her boyfriend? It must be!'
A big grin appeared on Cruz's face in an instant. He's imagining Scarlett would introduce her lover — He was getting impatient.
"Who? Who is he? My future brother-in-law? Waah... boss... You! How can you get married without telling me!?"
Cruz's roar on the other end made Scarlett's ears feel bleeding. She cursed him in her heart as she pulled away her cell phone.
"Boss…? Why didn't you say anything? Hello… Hello boss?"
Feeling dizzy, Scarlett hung up the phone. She felt tired just from talking over the phone with Cruz. She couldn't imagine what would happen if they met later.
Scarlett put her phone in her bag and saw Logan seriously driving the car as if he had no interest in her conversation with Cruz.
'Gosh!! How dare that stupid Cruz to think Logan is her husband?'
Scarlett laughed secretly at the thought. But suddenly, her laughter vanished as she thought her stupid assistant would get angry when he found out she was hiring other assistants.
'He must be mad, right!? That guy is always overreacting...'
Scarlett sighed as she turned outside to look at the seaside. Trying to calm her mind before they arrive. But she couldn't calm down at all. The closer she got to her office, the more thrilled she was.
Now she regrets agreeing to Xander's idea to assign Logan as her assistant and driver.
Before long, Scarlett saw a familiar place, Palm Avenue Street.
p?nd?`no??1--?o? This location is on the seafront, with many public services buildings, such as; office buildings, hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafes. There are wide sidewalks along the road with lush trees on the side to make people more comfortable walking while enjoying the blue sea.
Palm Avenue is not as busy as midtown. The atmosphere here is more relaxed and calm. This is one of the reasons why Scarlett chose this place as her office and residence.
"Miss Scarlett, your office is the silver building?" Ask Logan. He saw a new building, the tallest in the area. Surprisingly, a 'RAS Building' was written on the front of the building.
'Why does that name sound familiar? RAS!?' Logan thought.
"Yes." Scarlett beamed to see her office finally finished. Last month when she came here, the office was still a mess.
Although this office is not luxurious as her office in another country, she is still proud. Because the location of the place reminds her of her childhood memories — living on the island, she always felt calm looking at the sea.
"It's a nice building..." He said.
"Thank you, Logan."
Logan stopped in front of the main lobby. He turned to look at Scarlett, who had opened the door and was ready to get out. "Miss, what floor is your office? I will park the car and go to your floor..."
"No need. Just park here and give the keys to the guard. They will take care of it. You can follow me now."
Scarlett got out of the car, and her eyes fell on a red-haired man walking towards her. He is followed by a middle-aged man in a black suit with a bald head and a tall, muscular man in a dark blue uniform.
"Why is Miss Scarlett acting like the owner of this building? Doesn't she only work in this building?" Logan muttered while turning off the car engine.
