Chapter 162 Are You Jealous?



"She\'s not an important person in my life. So, that\'s why you don\'t need to know her!" After he saw her smile, he continued, "Babe, please don\'t be jealous of her. I have no feelings for her. She is nothing in my eyes and heart..."

Seeing the worried expression on Xander\'s face made Scarlett unable to hold back her laughter. She already knew the story, so she just wanted to tease him.

"Hahaha, Mr. Xander Riley! Don\'t worry. I wouldn\'t be jealous of a woman like that." Scarlett lifted her chin slightly and graced him with her charming smile.

"Pleased to hear that!!" Xander can breathe a sigh of relief. He was already worried that Scarlett would become a target for the Harris family. Because he knew Ella Harris was obsessed with him. "So, did they bully you?" He asked curiously.

"Who?"

"Who!? The Harris family! Who else!?"

"Mr. Riley, how can you take your wife lightly!? How could someone bully me?" A half smile appeared on Scarlett\'s lips before she continued, "...It was me who shocked them when I revealed my identity as the owner of the RAS!"

"Indeed! My little wife is someone who can\'t be bullied, huh!" Xander said while remembering how this girl had slaughtered the gangsters who attacked her on B Island. The Harris Family, especially Ella Harris, will not have the ability and opportunity to make his little wife suffer!

"Well, that night Carter also helped me counterattack the Harris family. So you better give him credit. I mean, can you be nice to him?" Scarlett smiled. She knew Xander constantly tormented his little brother, even though Carter had always been lovely to him.

"I will!" Xander smiles. He was happy that his brother could be reliable in protecting his wife. He made a note to ask Ben to lift Carter\'s punishment.

After they talked things over, Scarlett suddenly remembered why she had asked for the video call.

"Xander, there\'s something I want to ask you..." But, before she could finish her words, she felt her tongue feel a little stiff to talk about his Secretary — She was afraid Xander would think of her as a jealous wife.

"Yes, what is it?"

After silence, she finally said, "I heard you have a female secretary. And, she always accompanies you wherever you go on business trips?" She asked casually, trying not to overdo it.

Xander was in no rush to speak. He rubbed his eyebrow when he saw her smile. But he knew that the smile wasn\'t coming from her heart —  as if she was worried about something — he knew what it exactly was!

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Did Logan tell you about it?" he asked.

"Does it matter how I found out?" She sandwiches her cold face before continuing, "...or, you don\'t want me to find out?" She met his gaze.

The corners of Xander\'s lips lifted slightly into a small smile.

"...babe, of course, how you know doesn\'t matter." He gulped, knowing she was angry beneath her gentle smile. "And, of course, you have the right to know who works around me!"

After he saw her gaze soften slightly, he continued, "Her name is Zoey Warner. She is the senior Secretary. What do you want to know about her?"

"Nothing! Just asking..." she said. Somehow all the questions that had been neatly arranged in her mind suddenly vanished. It was as if someone had just reset her brain.

Xander could see there was concern in her gaze.

"Baby, you don\'t have to be jealous of her. To tell you the truth, she\'s my college friend and has worked for me as my Secretary since we graduated!"

Finding out Zoey Warner was Xander\'s college friend shocked Scarlett. However, she tried not to show any expression.

"I\'m not jealous!! How could I be jealous of your employee!?" She managed to keep her Mona Lisa smile. But inside, she was cursing herself because she was really envious of that woman — she had known Xander longer than her and she can also travel with him!

"I hope you are telling the truth, babe..." Xander said.

"I think I might just envy her. Because she\'ll be around you for a month! And she knows you longer than me!!" She wanted to say that, but it obviously stopped on the tip of her tongue. She swallows her words hard.

"Of course!!" Those were the words that finally left her lips.

"Good!!" Xander chuckled, but his face turned gloomy a second later as he continued, "Babe, I wish you could come here. I\'m starting to doubt myself;  I don\'t think I can be apart from you for the next three weeks!"

Scarlett\'s shoulders dropped slightly. She wanted to, but her feet seemed tied in this office. She couldn\'t neglect her work anymore after taking over a month off.

However, seeing how seriously he wanted her to be there made her heart waver slightly.

"Xander, I can\'t promise you. But, if I had the chance, I would fly there..." She said softly.

"Really!?" Xander\'s voice has gone up an octave. He was so happy!

"Geez... Mr. Riley, I can\'t promise I\'ll get there. But I will try. Don\'t get your hopes up!" She giggled at how happy he was.

"It\'s fine! At least you are thinking of coming here. It\'s enough to make me feel excited!!" Xander suddenly became silent as a thought crossed his mind.

After a few seconds, he said, "Babe, however, if you fail to come here, I would like to ask you one request you must grant!"

"Request!? What request?" she asked.

"I want to be your husband completely!" A soft smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Aren\'t you already my husband? We already canceled our prenuptial agreement, right?" Scarlett was clueless about Xander\'s meaning.

"It\'s true that we are husband and wife! But that\'s still on paper. I want to spend our wedding night that hasn\'t happened yet. I want to become one with you!"

Instantly the temperature in her office dropped to zero, and her body froze when she heard the words \'WEDDING NIGHT,\' which now tortured her mind.

She blushed while uttering his name, "X-Xander..."
