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?'
Not wanting to get carried away with Rex's annoyed attitude, Scarlett needs to distract her mind by checking some news on the internet. But it was only this time that she realized her phone was out of battery.
She was in such a rush to receive the package that she forgot to charge her phone.
What's more...
She thought this man had asked someone to deliver a package for her. But who would have thought that the package was the man himself? It was inconceivable that he would fly thousands of miles to come here to meet her.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Scarlett turned her gaze again to look at the man beside her. She froze to see his mesmerized blue eyes staring back at her. He gave her a faint smile, but only a moment. He turned his gaze outside, ignoring her.
Scarlett felt impatient with his silence. Slowly she raised her hand and tugged at the sleeve of his black suit.
"Brother Rex… young master..." He didn't budge at all, but Scarlett didn't stop talking to him either. "Brother, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me before? So, I can arrange where you stay..."
"Ah, I know. You came to congratulate me on opening my office, right!?" Scarlett continued, trying to persuade this sullen Rex. "Hahaha… brother, don't bother coming. I can understand that you're super busy…."
After so much effort Scarlett had put in, nothing came out of that guy's mouth. Not even a word. Rex remains silent.
"Gosh!! My patience is running thin, brother! Don't force me to be upset too!" She wanted to say that, but the words stuck on the tip of her tongue.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ She was so done dealing with him!
Scarlett decided to close her eyes. Better to sleep than talk to an angry person — making her mind even more exhausted.
But not long after she closed her eyes, the car stopped. Immediately she opened her eyes, and she was startled.
They are now in a park near the beach. She thought they were going to some fancy restaurant or a comfortable place to talk. However, they were still in the Palm Avenue area, not far from her office. Why did he bring her here?
"Follow me!" Rex said, then got out of the car.
Scarlett was stunned to see him walking towards the beach. She stopped in the pedestrian walkway with his back facing her.
Later, Scarlett saw Preston, who was still sitting in his chair.
"Preston, is he in a bad mood?"
"Yes, he is in a bad mood. Miss Scarlett, please cheer him up. Young Master might kill us if he stays in this mood..." Preston said pleadingly.
"Damn it!! Who pissed him off like this!?" Scarlett suddenly understood why Rex had flown to this city to meet her. No one could tame this young Master, only her.
But Scarlett didn't have time to find the troublemaker now because she had to follow him and talk. She immediately got out of the car and walked towards him.
Looking at his broad back and long slender legs, she gulped silently. She maintained her calmness and put a happy smile on her face. She stopped a step behind him.
"Brother, tell me if something's bothering you. Maybe I can help you clear your mind and worries!?" She waited for him to answer, but again he ignored her. Gosh!! What does he want? Just before Scarlett flared up, Rex finally turned to look at her.
Her smile grew broader, but her smile slowly disappeared when she saw his dangerous glint.
"Are you sure you can help me?" Rex wanted to laugh, but he held it. This little girl, how could she ask like this when she was the one who made him abandon his work and rush to fly to this small country!?
He couldn't sleep. He couldn't work. He couldn't think appropriately after hearing a man's voice pick up her phone last night, and that man claimed to be her husband.
It had only been a month since she returned to this country and he heard that she was getting married. Hearing that news, his heart felt sore for unknown reasons.
How dare she marry someone without his knowledge?
At first, he didn't believe it. But the longer it took, the more agitated he became. And finally, he decided to fly here to find out the truth.
"Of course, I can. I've been doing this a lot, haven't I?" Scarlett happily laughed because she could finally melt his anger.
Rex touched his brow, laughing at the girl's innocence.
"Tell me, who? If that person is against your business, I will destroy them. How dare they mess with my brother..." Her eyes narrowed as if annoyed with the person who made him in a bad mood.
"Do you want to know?" Rex looked her straight in the eyes. He was amused to see her eyelashes swaying like a fan. Her beautiful eyes never failed to amaze him. She was the only girl who could stir up his cold heart, but sadly this girl was too stupid to realize it.
"Who? Tell me..." Scarlett looked impatient. Who could make this man fly across the country to meet her!?
"YOU!"
"W-H-A-T!! Me? Why me?" Scarlett was utterly confused.
"I'm also curious. Could you explain to me, why you suddenly have a husband?"
Bang!
As if lightning had struck her, Scarlett felt her knees weaken. She almost fell if Rex wasn't holding her. His big cold hands gripped her shoulders and made her stand up straighter.
She slowly raised her head to meet his eyes. She opened her mouth, but no words escaped her lips. She was utterly speechless.
'How did Rex know I was married?'
That question assaulted her mind and made her ability to speak vanish instantly.
