Chapter 45 A Text From Him
Logan is sitting in one of the chairs at the dining table. And when Logan saw Scarlett, he immediately stood up and greeted her.
“Miss Scarlett, you can’t eat this food. This food is not healthy. Let me order other food for you…” Logan said as he looked at Scarlett. There was obvious concern in his eyes.
Scarlett didn’t say anything. She just sat at the end of the table, smiling and looking at the food in front of her. She completely ignored Logan, who still stood in his place staring at her.
After inhaling the food fragrance, she smiled at Logan while asking him to sit back.
How can ramen be an unhealthy food? It’s heavenly food, okay!
“Oh, come on, Logan! This is healthy food. Well, this kind of food will be unhealthy depending on how you cook it and how much you consume….” 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦.𝘦𝑡
Scarlett didn’t bother to look at Logan anymore, her eyes beaming at the ramen in the white ceramic bowl in front of her, the ramen still steaming and the unique fragrance filling her nostril. She suddenly felt her mood get a lot better.
Logan was speechless. Even though he wanted to stop her from eating ramen, he knew his efforts would be futile. He could only sit and look at the ramen in front of him. This food can make the contents of his stomach feel stirred. Not that he didn’t like it, but…
When Logan stares at the food in front of him without touching his chopsticks. A confident man in the room was displeased to see him.
Cruz felt like scolding him after he made him a bowl of ramen. He didn’t even touch his ramen!? What the hell!! Does he think of him as his cook? This was the first and last time he would cook for this man.
“Logan, you won’t die eating ramen!! Can you eat it?” Cruz glared at Logan in annoyance.
“Hahaha, Cruz is right! Alright… guys, let’s eat while it’s warm! This is heavenly food, my favorite… Too bad, it’s hard to find ramen in this country.” Scarlett said and started to enjoy her spicy ramen.
“Don’t worry, boss. I brought a few packs from New York. And I also asked Zara to bring more from LA…” Cruz ignored Logan and started to enjoy his ramen too.
Scarlett didn’t reply to Cruz, but she did give a thumbs up. She felt good enough to finish her first bowl of spicy ramen in just a few minutes.
When she finished, she saw Logan, who was still eating. “Logan, are you of Korean descent?” Judging from his name and Asian-looking face, she believes Logan is of Korean descent.
“Half. My father is from South Korea, and my mother is from this country….” Logan said while putting down his chopsticks.
He was finally able to finish this bowl of disgusting food. When he was a child, his parents were impoverished. Every day he had to eat this food, and it traumatized him. He always felt sick every time he saw this food. But now, he can’t help but eat.
“I see. So, that’s why you were named Lee…” Scarlett nodded to show her empathy. Then she said, “How long have you been working for Xander?” She gets curious about Xander’s people and wants to know them.
“I’ve been working for Mr. Riley for a long time. I think it’s been more than ten years now…” Logan replies.
“Wow! That is very long. So that also means your boss, Xander, has started doing business as a teenager, is that right?” Scarlett was impressed. No wonder the man’s achievements are extraordinary.
“Yes. Mr. Riley started his ventures when he was still a teenager.” Logan didn’t say much, afraid he might leak some information that young madam shouldn’t know.
After lunch, Scarlett busied herself in her studio.
But just a few minutes later, she was focused on doing her work… suddenly she received a text message.
She was delighted to see her cell phone.
[Young Master Rex:] Come downstairs immediately. There is a package for you. And you must receive it by yourself.
“Package? What package? Did Brother Rex send a gift? For me?” Scarlett muttered to herself, confused.
[Scarlett:] Brother, are you sending me a congratulatory gift for opening my new office?
[Scarlett:] Hahaha, bro, why bother with a gift? All you need to do is hand me $… I prefer $ over any stuff, any time (Devil Grin Icon)
[Young Master Rex:] What? Stop replying to my text and start walking down the stairs, please. And hurry up!
Scarlett chuckled. “This young master… Why does he still give me headaches even though we are now living in different countries?”
Although Rex’s request was a bit strange, she followed the instructions. She put her work aside and left the studio, rushing downstairs to the ground floor.
“Boss, where are you going?” Cruz was still sitting on the sofa with Logan and was surprised to see Scarlett leave the studio so quickly. Usually, she could spend hours in the studio working.
But now? She was only in her studio for a few minutes and had already rushed out. Again suspicion arose in his mind — something wrong with his boss.
“I have a package from someone. I have to receive it in person…”
Cruz got up from his seat and chased after her. “Boss, let me receive it for you…”
‘Since when did she receive her own package?’ Thought Cruz. But a second later, he was stunned. Is her husband coming downstairs!?
Cruz felt excited. His chance to meet Scarlett’s husband has now arrived. He had to follow her.
“No need. I have to accept it myself.” She said, then walked to the elevator.
A few minutes later…
Scarlett was speechless when she saw Cruz and Logan enter the elevator with her. “Hold it. Why are you guys following me?”
“Boss, how can I let you go by yourself to receive your package? You know well I can’t.” Cruz rolled his eyes. He now believes his boss will definitely meet her husband. He was thrilled.
“Miss Scarlett, I also can’t let you go downstairs alone. What kind of bodyguard I am… if I did that?” Logan said. There is no way Logan will let Scarlett hold the package without him making sure it is harmless.
Scarlett took a deep breath looking at her two assistants, who were determined to follow her down to the ground floor.
‘Alright, alright. You guys win!’
