Chapter 72 New Neighbor
Logan was waiting for them when their plane landed at the private airport.
They were heading to the RAS Scarlett apartment building to escort Aunt Lana. She needs to introduce Aunt Lana to Cruz — they will become neighbors.
Not having much time to return to the White Mansion, she also decided to go out for dinner with Harvey Olson directly from her apartment.
It just so happened that some of her clothes at her New York home were delivered to her apartment. So she didn’t have to worry about what to wear tonight.
ραпdα n?νa| сom “Y-Young Miss…” suddenly Lana grabbed Scarlett’s hand and whispered to her, “…so, the man driving is your husband? Young master Xander?” She asked. Even though her voice was soft, Logan, who was driving, could hear her.
Logan almost choked. He had to correct this, or Master Xander would be annoyed to hear that. “Ma’am, I’m not Master Xander…” he said briefly.
Scarlett found it amusing to hear that. Aunt Lana’s imagination is indeed rich. On the plane, she says her husband is an old man, and now she addresses Logan as Xander. Geez!!
She couldn’t blame Aunt Lana for mistaking Logan for Xander. Because even though Logan was just an assistant, his clean-shaven face and tall stature made him look attractive, like a magazine model. Moreover, how he always dresses neatly in a black suit and glasses makes him look like a successful young entrepreneur.
“Aunty Lana, he is not my husband.” Scarlett smiled when she saw Aunt Lana gasp in surprise. She continued, “He is Logan, my assistant, and driver. So, in the future, Aunt and Logan might interact because he will follow me everywhere…” She explained.
“Logan, you’ve seen Aunty Lana before, right? Well, Aunty Lana is my nanny; from now on, she will live at my penthouse on Palm avenue. This is the first time Aunty Lana has come to this city. I hope you can help her if she needs anything…”
“Yes, young madam, don’t worry, I will….” Logan glanced at Aunt Lana in the rearview mirror and smiled when he saw her face turning red.
Lana hides her face by looking outside the car, too embarrassed to mistake Logan for Master Xander. She didn’t say anything else the whole way. Her eyes twinkled in amazement at the beauty of the capital city.
Their car passes by the main street, flanked by unique modern skyscrapers. She also saw a river that divides the capital, and along the river, there’s a pretty and clean garden. This was the first time she had seen this city in person. All this time, she just saw it on television.
After a long drive, they finally arrived at the Red Animation Studio building. They headed straight to the top floor, Scarlett’s house.
She did a room tour for Aunts Lana and Logan, who had recently visited this floor.
“This is the apartment that I used to rest in when I was tired of working at my office downstairs…” said Scarlett as she entered the house. Lana and Logan followed her from behind.
She continued, “In this house, there are 2 guest rooms. And one main bedroom. There is a home office at the other end and a gym next door. For the kitchen, even though I don’t like to cook, I still build a pretty kitchen.”
Scarlett smiled gently at the two of them as they entered a vast open space; A living room was connected to a dining area and a beautiful kitchen.
A large glass wall overlooking the blue sea makes the living room look stunning. However, apart from the living room, an outdoor garden complete with an infinity pool and jacuzzi is Scarlett’s favorite place in this entire house. She had visions of having a barbecue and spending her time there enjoying the sky and sea.
Scarlett deliberately made this place luxurious. She intended to live here until she was old enough to live on her own. But her plans changed. She had to postpone it for another year to be able to occupy this house.
“Young Miss… This place is lovely.” Lana is in awe of Scarlett’s new home. She felt proud of her. But where did she get the money to buy this place? Her father would not buy this luxurious place for her, right!?
“Thanks, aunty…” She smiled sweetly at her nanny before continuing, “Auntie, Logan, earlier, you guys could see the two doors on the left side of the elevator, right?”
“Yes.” They both answered at the same time.
“That’s a studio apartment. I’m setting up two studio apartments for Aunty Lana and my future driver. Logan, since you work for me and will spend many hours in this place, you can use that place to rest if I’m busy downstairs.” 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴
“Thank you, young miss…” Lana said happily.
“Young madam, thank you.” Logan is surprised to find she has prepared a place for him. Even though he probably wouldn’t use it much. Because he lived in the White Mansion and owned an apartment near The Riley Tower.
After explaining all the tasks of Aunt Lana and Logan, Scarlett immediately called Cruz to her house. She needs to let him meet Aunt Lana. They will be the neighborhood, after all.
Soon Cruz, with his lively personality, entered the living room.
“Oh my god… Boss!? I thought you wouldn’t be here today. What happened?”
Cruz walked up to Scarlett with a wide grin framing his face. But his smile slowly faded when he saw a new person in the room; She was a middle-aged woman with a bobbed hairstyle looking at him intently as if he owed her billions in debt.
How frightening!
Cruz ignored the woman and approached Scarlett. He drew closer his head to Scarlett and whispered, “W-Who!? Who is that woman? Why does she look like I’m a criminal?”
Scarlett chuckled. Her nanny is still the same as in the old days. She is always tense when there are men who know her closely. She is very protective.
“Your new neighbor!” Scarlett answered casually.
