Chapter 91 A Shocked Cruz
Chapter 91 A Shocked Cruz
?Not wanting to talk about his shameless act to Ben, Cruz turned to look at his handsome idol.
"Mr. Riley, may I know why you came to our office?" He smiled warmly at Xander, but a moment later, his warm smile faded when he felt a cold aura envelop him. And when he saw his eyes, he froze.
"Oh, I want to meet my wife..." Xander Riley said casually, but it sounded like thunder to Cruz.
'Wife!? His wife? In this building!?' Cruz was stunned to know this huge news.
Suddenly countless questions popped up in his mind; Since when did Xander Riley date a RAS employee!? Who is the lucky lady who can make the top-quality bachelor in this country melt!?
Cruz really wanted to meet the woman and bow to her. He needed her blessing to get the bit of luck that woman had — for some reason, he felt very envious of that woman.
Trying to shake off his distracting thoughts, Cruz looked at Xander again. He was confused as to why he didn't say anything. He didn't even look at him, either.
'Huhu, why is my idol now ignoring me?' she wanted to cry.
Just before Cruz wanted to ask Xander, he saw Xander turn his eyes to him. Cruz suddenly felt his whole body being pierced by a sharp ice dagger.
"You want to know who my wife is?" Xander continued his words after seeing Cruz nod hard and his face as white as paper, "...my wife is the woman you call demoness!"
Xander didn't give Cruz time to say anything as he shifted his gaze to the elevator. Only for a second, his smile bloomed when he saw the demoness emerge from the elevator.
Cruz was taken aback, 'A demoness? Does that mean his wife is my big boss Scarlett!? Damn it! Really...' He stares at Xander, but the man gently smiles as he walks past him.
"Oh, My dear wife, are you done with your work?" Xander said softly, but it was enough to make the people in the lobby hear it and shock everyone there.
Scarlett, "..."
'Gosh! Ice Prince, why did you immediately reveal our relationship as soon as you set foot in this building?' Scarlett could only feel helpless.
Suddenly the lobby came alive with lots of whispers...
"Wow! Ms. Scarlett Piers is Mr. Xander Riley's girlfriend!?"
"No! She is his wife!! They are husband and wife!"
"Can anyone slap me to tell... this whole thing was just a dream!?"
"Oh my! This is big news!!"
"What the hell! Why doesn't the media know about their relationship?"
"I know damn well! How did they get the word out that Mr. Xander Riley was dating Angela Lane?"
"Quick!! Please take a picture. We have to announce it on social media. We can't make the big boss suffer because of trash news!"
"Yes, I agree!!"

While the atmosphere in the lobby grew lively, Scarlett and Xander, who were the cause, didn't seem to mind them.
They stood facing each other and entered a staring contest with no end, neither willing to budge.
After a while, it was finally Scarlett who first regained her senses, "You came..." Her voice sounded so soft and able to melt Xander's heart.
He casually took her hand and squeezed it gently. Seeing her smile with sparkling eyes looking at him made him want to pull her into his arms, but the commotion surrounding them kept him from doing that.
Everyone in the place couldn't stand their sweet PDA.
Well, not only the onlookers but Scarlett also felt that way — she felt like her heart was going to explode. She could no longer tell whether the man in front of her was acting or what he was showing was real.
"Babe, why did you come downstairs? I could go upstairs to meet you..." Xander said with a smile. It was enough to make her pulse quicken.
"I... was worried you would wait for me for too long. And we will go to the airport now, right?" Scarlett couldn't let this man wait for her.
"No need to rush! We're about to use my jet, so there's no need to worry if we're late." With his other hand, he gently patted the hair on top of her head before continuing, "...okay, shall we go now? Or do you want to go up again?"
"I'm ready to go..." She had already brought her backpack. As for her luggage, Logan had already been prepared in the car.
As the two of them walked towards the main entrance, Cruz snapped out of his daze. He quickly walked after Scarlett and Xander.
He caught up to them before they got into the car, "Boss Scarlett, wait a moment..." he shouted breathlessly.
Scarlett was surprised to hear Cruz's voice calling her name. She had been looking for him since earlier, but this guy had disappeared from the office. Even his cell phone was off.
She looked back and frowned in a hurry, seeing him dragging a suitcase like he was going somewhere.
p?nd?,no??1,?o? "Cruz!? Where have you been? I've been looking for you... And why are you carrying your suitcase?" She dragged him away from Xander. She didn't want Xander to hear their conversation.
"Boss... I..." Instantly Cruz's tongue went numb. Earlier, he just wanted to run away for a week to escape her wrath, but seeing her marry Mr. Xander Riley could make his plans fail.
"No! You can't come with us. You have to clear things up here. Make sure no photos or videos of Xander and I appear on the internet or in the office forums!!"
Still in shock when he learned about his boss's relationship, Cruz suddenly gasped. His priority right now is protecting his boss's identity.
"Yes, boss! I'll take care of it... Don't worry. You can go now and..." Cruz leaned his head closer to Scarlett.
"...congratulations, boss, you have tamed this sexy bachelor. Now, I will recognize you as my love guru!" He continued to whisper, but a second later, a hand landed on his head, making him scream in pain.
