It wasn't long before they arrived at the lobby.
But, before Scarlett asked the front desk about her package, her eyes suddenly fell on the man leaning casually beside a black Maybach parked in front of the main door.
Instantly Scarlett steps stopped, and her body froze.
For a moment, she stared at the man in shock. Even though the man was wearing sunglasses, she knew right away that the man was none other than Rex Morrison. That man should be several thousand miles from this city. Why did he suddenly appear here?
Countless questions now filled her mind.
Why did he come? Why did he come unannounced? Why now? Damn! Why did this man show up at the wrong time?
Scarlett remembered today was not her birthday. But why did he appear before her?
'This must be my hallucination, right!?' Scarlett tried to close her eyes. Perhaps when she opened it, the figure had disappeared.
But before Scarlett could open her eyes, she heard Cruz talking to her in a panicked tone, "What the hell!! Young Master! Why, why did the young Master come!?"
If Cruz could see him, it was inevitable that the man had really come.
Scarlett took a deep sigh before she slowly opened her eyes. She clearly saw the man was still there. And now he was looking at her.
"Boss!! So that's the package you mentioned earlier, the Young Master himself? Ha-ha-ha... I know it! I was suspicious before. How could you waste your precious time to retrieve the package!?"
Cruz now understands why his boss is willing to come down to pick up the package; it turned out that Young Master Rex was coming to see her. What a shock!
"Uhg! Why did he come? Did you tell him about my marriage?" Scarlett glanced at Cruz. There was an annoyed glint in her eyes.
"How dare I tell him?" Cruz shifted his gaze to look at Scarlett, still standing where she was, and glared at him. He felt goosebumps. "Didn't you know he was coming?"
Not hearing Scarlett's answer, Cruz's knee felt weak, seeing how angry she was. "B-Boss, you can't be mad at me now. Your true threat lies outside. Hurry, meet him now, or he will go berserk!" Cruz felt goosebumps just thinking about how rustless this Young Master Rex was.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ When Scarlett was about to look at Rex, her cell phone rang. She was stunned to see the name appear on her cell phone screen.
"B-Brother…" Scarlett picked up the phone while looking at the man outside.
"How much longer are you going to make me wait!?" His cold voice made the back of her neck tense. And before she could answer, the phone line ended.
She smiled bitterly before instructing Cruz and Logan to wait for her. After that, she dashed out of the lobby and approached this domineering Young Master Rex.
'Why did he come all this way? It couldn't be because he just wanted to meet me!' She talks to herself while entering the car.
Logan, standing beside Cruz, was confused about what Scarlett and Cruz had discussed.
'Young Master? Who's he? Why is the young madam afraid of that man?' Logan is busy guessing while remaining on guard. But when he saw Scarlett running out, he immediately followed her. He couldn't put her in danger.
"Stop!!" Cruz grabbed Logan's hand to stop him from moving.
"Why did you stop me? I have to follow her. I must take care of the young madam!" Logan said coldly to Cruz.
"Now you don't have to look after her!"
"Cruz, that man looks mean. What if that man hurts her? This is my duty to protect her. Please let go of your hands!" Logan was ready to release his hand from Cruz's grip.
"Logan, don't ever mess with Young Master Rex..." Cruz chuckled, seeing Logan look so stupid in front of him.
"What are you talking about?"
"You will lose your life if you challenge him. And don't worry... That man is the only man who will never hurt her!" Cruz continued his words while watching the Maybach finally move.
Logan is surprised to hear Cruz's warning. He still wanted to follow, but it was too late. The car was gone. He could only send reports to his Master.

Meanwhile, in the Maybach,
The summer breeze could not warm up the temperature inside the car as Rex beside her gave off a cold aura which made the temperature inside the car drop to zero.
Since getting in the car, Scarlett only heard one sentence from him; 'Get in!'. After that, Rex sat staring at the sea outside without caring about her.
'Why did he come here if he didn't want to talk?' She felt confused and, at the same time, afraid this man already knew about her deal with Xander.
Several times Scarlett deliberately took deep breaths. She tries to signal Rex that she is in the car with him. However, Rex remained unmoved.
"W-Why did you come here, brother? Do you have a new project to do in this city?" Scarlett finally dared to ask him.
Still, Rex didn't say anything.
Scarlett could sense that Rex was angry.
But why did he suddenly come and show his tantrum?
She tried to remember if she had done anything wrong these past few days. However, she didn't find any.
She only had one fault she could think of. And that is that she married Xander Riley.
'Does Rex know about my marriage? No! No way, right?' She was sure that Cruz would not betray her. After all, Cruz had only found out about her marriage a few hours ago.
There's no way this guy could teleport in this place. He has to fly from New York to this city for 3 hours. Impossible. His jet can not fly here in just two hours! That is undoubtedly and ridiculously impossible.
Not getting Rex's attention, she shifted her gaze to Preston, Rex's assistant, sitting in the front seat next to the driver. She wanted to ask him, but Preston looked like Rex, exuding the same aura as his boss.
'Gosh! Why do these two men give me more headache?'
