The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Platinum Restaurant.

The VIP room is surrounded by a glass wall, with a beautiful view of the city park. On the other side of the room, Scarlett could see many skyscrapers that were no less tall than where she was now, on the 35th floor.

The rooms are dominated by luxurious colors—gold, white, and navy. Some abstract paintings are hanging on the white walls. In the middle of the room is a rectangular dining table with various kinds of fresh flowers in a beautiful crystal vase and 8 blue-navy chairs with gold accents lined up facing each other.

Above the table hangs a modern luxury lamp with gold accents, which can make the room feel more luxurious and contemporary at the same time.

Scarlett sat alone at the end of the table. Logan left after he escorted her to this room and helped her order the food. Logan says; he will be waiting for her outside.

She felt uneasy staying here alone. Previously she asked Logan to stay, but the man refused. It seems Logan still feels awkward around her. She could feel it.

While waiting for the waiter to serve her lunch, she opened her laptop. She wants to video-call Cruz.

Soon the video call connected, and Cruz's irritated face filled her laptop screen. She laughed at how messy his red curly hair looked, and his big eyes glared at her.

Why is this idiot mad at her!? She should be the one mad here.

Gosh!

"BOSS!! Where have you been?" Cruz's voice echoed in the room, making Scarlett's ears hurt. "Can you pick up your phone? I called you a million times, but your phone isn't working!"

Scarlett rolled her eyes. This man is too much.

She forgot and didn't look at her phone again after she put it in her bag and muted it because she still wasn't ready to work today. She still wants to enjoy her vacation and adapt to her new status as the wife of a billionaire, Xander Riley — the man adored by many beauties out there.

"Huh!? Where are you now, boss? Eh, you're in the city!? Where?"

"I'm at the Riley Hotel. I had lunch here." Scarlett answered while turning on her cell phone.

"Platinum Restaurant?"

Scarlett nods.

"Boss, waah... how can you eat alone at the fancy restaurants in town without me? Didn't you promise to take me there?" He said, annoyed.

Scarlett looked at Cruz, and she suddenly felt dizzy, seeing how ugly Cruz's face was when he was angry.

"Tsk!, Boss, this feels unfair. You eat delicious food there while I eat instant food here."

Scarlett ignored him.

"Who did you eat with?" He asked again after looking at Scarlett, not saying a word.

Cruz was still annoyed to hear that Scarlett was eating at a restaurant he wanted to go to, but the costly dishes made him cancel his plan. He will only wait for his foodie boss to take him there.

But now? It seemed his boss had forgotten his existence.

Does she eat with her family there? That's why she didn't tell him at all.

"No one. I eat alone. Any problem with that?" Scarlett carelessly answered while reading something on her cell phone, ignoring Cruz.

"WHAT!? You're eating alone?" Cruz felt betrayed. Why did she go there alone? "Boss, alright, I'll forgive you this time because you forgot to tell me." Cruz laughed. "Boss, I'll be there in 30 minutes. Please wait for me, boss..." He stood from his chair, ready to go to the Riley Hotel.

Scarlett was stunned hearing that idiot Cruz's words.

"No. Cruz, don't come!"

How could she let this man come? Xander would be annoyed if she invited another man to have lunch with her, right? Or not? She felt confused.

"Why? Why do you forbid me to come? Have you finished eating yet?"

Scarlett didn't bother to pay attention to Cruz. Her eyes fell on the gossip news she read on her social media. Suddenly her expression changed.

[Xander Riley's Lunch with a Movie star, Angela Lane, at Platinum Restaurant]

[Finally, the rich man, Xander Riley, Go Public With Angela Lane]

And many more provocative headlines suddenly make Scarlett's head spin.

At first, she thought it was just baseless rumors, but after she clicked on one of the news, she was surprised to see a photo of Xander with Angela Lane. She could recognize the place, the front door of the Platinum Restaurant. And the suit Xander wore was the same as the one he wore when they went to the marriage registration office. The picture was taken today.

pαndα`noν?1--сoМ 'So, Xander had lunch with another woman the day after they married? And he asked me to eat alone here? Has that Ice Prince lost his mind?' Scarlett was pissed off.

She felt the urge to take her anger out on Xander. She tried to call him immediately, but only now she realized she didn't have Xander's cell phone number.

Suddenly she felt amused with their relationship now. She is Xander's legal wife but doesn't know anything about him. She only knew him through google.

'What the hell, Scarlett! This is why you can't decide something important for your life without thinking!' She scolded herself in her mind feeling irritated.

If she knows Xander the Ice Prince is having lunch with another woman, she'd better head to Palm Avenue to see Cruz. She would rather eat instant food with Cruz than enjoy expensive food alone here in the same place with Xander Riley woman. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵

Though their relationship was only on paper. There were no feelings involved, but somehow, Scarlett felt betrayed. She felt her heart hurt.

Cruz was surprised when he saw his boss' face turn sullen.

Is the food there not suited to her taste? Why isn't she in the mood to eat in a fancy restaurant? Or was she in a bad mood because she was eating alone?

Cruz smiled widely.

"Hahaha... Boss, I knew it!! Hahaha, you must regret not taking me there, and now you feel bad eating alone, right?"

Scarlett, "..."
