The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett fell silent, hearing his ramblings.

'This idiot Cruz, when I am annoyed with Xander, all he can think about is food. What a food slave you are!'

She wondered if someday this man would die from overeating. He put his brains after food. How stupid.

"Boss!? Why do you look so gloomy? Is the food that bad?" Cruz frowned.

He had read several W-Netz reviews on social media about Platinum Restaurant. On average, they said the food there was delicious, and they highly recommended that place. But, although the food there is good, there is one flaw; the price of the food is not suitable for the average wallet.

That's why as a food slave, he never went there. He could only depend on his food slave guild leader. But now he was bewildered to see the displeased face of his leader.

If she doesn't look happy with the food there, that means the food there is mediocre. Cruz trusts her judgment, and so far, her food reviews are always on point.

"Nothing. I just felt slightly unwell..." Scarlett lied. For now, she can't tell Cruz about her relationship with Xander. She will say to him when they meet tomorrow. "Cruz! Tomorrow, I will start working. You can plan my schedule as usual..."

"Hah!?" Cruz was surprised to hear that. "Boss, I remember you said you would only start work next month. Why are you rushing to work now? Is there a new project?"

He was confused. Before today, Scarlett was the one who insisted on taking an extended holiday before working on a new project. But why did she suddenly change her mind?

"I feel ready to go back to work..." A forced smile appeared on her calm face, trying to hide her low mood. "And, regarding dinner invitations with Uncle Harvey, please arrange it. I can see him any time..."

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "How about meeting the Studio Phoenix?"

"No! My decision remains the same." Her voice was firm. This made Cruz only take a deep breath.

Cruz still doesn't understand why his Boss refuses to work with Studio Phoenix. The company is not mediocre. They are the biggest company in this country that produces movies and the most prominent entertainment agency. Cruz has heard almost all the top movie stars in this country come from that company.
"Boss, they are offering a lot of money. We can take half a year off if you accept their offer!" Cruz tried to persuade Scarlett again.

It would be a shame if they turned down such a big company. Moreover, they recently opened an office in this country. Suppose they can work with a company as big as Studio Phoenix then their company, Red Animated Studio will be known to many people in this country.

Scarlett slowly raised her head and looked at Cruz on the laptop screen. Her brow wrinkled slightly in annoyance with this idiot Cruz.

"Is the owner of Red Animated Studio you or me?"

"Hahaha, boss, how dare I answer that?" Cruz laughed before continuing, "Boss, consider it done. I will arrange your schedule and dinner meeting with Mr. Harvey Olson."

"Good!"

"Boss, any other task?"

"Nope!" She says. Just as she was about to end the video call, Cruz held her back. "What is it, Cruz?"


"Boss, yesterday you said you would be staying somewhere else. May I know where?" Cruz is still confused.

He still remembered his Boss was the one who was excited when they built her apartment. She was the one who chose the best interior design from New York. And they made it according to all her requests. Now the place is ready to live in, but she suddenly decided to stay elsewhere.

Is she playing a prank on them?

Or she has too much money and is confused about how to spend it, so she builds a luxurious apartment, but in the end, she won't live there. Damn!! Boss, you are really weird.

Scarlett frowns. How could she tell him if she didn't know where Xander's house was!? Gosh!

"I'll tell you later. Okay, I will end the video now. I'm hungry now…." She lied. "And, Cruz! Stop eating that instant food. You know how to order food through the app, right!?"

Cruz gulp. "I know… alright, Boss. Bye!"

After the video call ends.

Scarlett continued to read gossip sites. This time she opened the browser through her laptop.

When she saw Xander's picture on the news more clearly, it made her heart sink. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The picture is indeed Xander, and his suit is the same one he was wearing this morning. The photo was taken today.

Why did marrying Xander feel difficult?

At first, she agreed to do a contract marriage with him because she knew there would be no feelings involved in their marriage, but she was wrong — her heart betrayed her.

Learning that Xander has another woman could make her heartache — like an invisible hand squeezing her heart.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Riley..."

Scarlett was stunned when she heard a female voice calling her that way, 'Mrs. Riley!'

She turned her gaze to that voice direction. She saw a waitress standing opposite her with a friendly smile framing her face.

"Your food is ready, mam. Please enjoy..." Said the waitress kindly.

Scarlett was surprised when she saw the food neatly arranged in the middle of the table.

A half smile appeared at the corner of her lips. How could she not see someone enter this room? Looks like she was so immersed in reading netizens' comments on the internet that she didn't realize it.

Scarlett looked at the waitress again and thanked her.

"Mrs. Riley, if you want to order other food, you can ring this bell." The waitress placed a small bell on the table.

"Thank you." Scarlett smiles.

After the waitress gave her a polite bow, she quickly left the room, leaving Scarlett alone again.

As the waitress left the room, the smile that had graced Scarlett's face slowly disappeared. Her face turned expressionless again.

The food served on the table cannot raise her appetite. She regretted coming to this place.
