The Billionaire's Genius Wife

As she tried to soothe her throat, she felt warm hands stroking her back. She looked aside and was surprised to see Rex's gentle eyes looking at her.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Drink this!" He offered her a glass of water and a handkerchief.

"T-Thanks B-Brother…" She said softly.

"Damn!!! Aren't you ashamed? You're already this big, yet you're still crying? Shame on you, Three!!" Seven teased.

"Screw you, Seven!!" She snapped when she felt a little bit better. "...I'm not crying! But I'm choking, okay!"

Rex glared at Seven.

Seven was speechless.

Not long after, their food was served...

For lunch, Scarlett deliberately ordered Grilled Lobster and fresh oysters, her favorite.

For a while, she ignored Sevan and Rex. They discussed some of the ongoing issues in the Guild while Scarlett was too engrossed in her food.

But then Scarlett remembered the task she gave Seven to follow the Harris Family: Paul Harris and Ella Harris. She could feel that these two people had evil intentions against her.

After finishing two medium-sized lobsters, she put her plate aside and looked at Seven. But, before she could ask, she heard Rex say something in a surprised tone.

"Seriously, so you said you're done eating?" It was strange to see her eating so little. Even though her body is small, this girl can eat more food than he can. She can eat a lot of food for 4 grown men.

Scarlett looked at him and shook her head. "No! I'll continue later... I need to ask Seven something!" Then she looked at Seven after giving Rex a weak smile.

"Seven, about the Harris family. Did you find anything?" Scarlett asked.

"A lot! This family has so many bad deeds. And they can't remove their tails... Tsk!! How stupid!" Seven paused to drink water before continuing, "And what you said is true. They are trying to hurt you. They contacted a small Gangster to...." He stopped when he noticed Rex's burning gaze.

Seven can see how angry Rex is. He shook his head before saying, "Man! It wasn't me who wanted to hurt her... I was helping her to find out. Please stop looking at me like that!" Seven turned his gaze to Scarlett again, but the girl was now staring at Rex.

"Brother, don't meddle. It's too risky if someone notices your moves!! You don't have to worry. I'll take care of them!" Scarlett warned Rex. She feared this man would attract the enemy that was now hunting her.

Rex didn't say anything, but he nodded. He agreed with her. Then, he continued eating and pretended not to hear their conversation.

Scarlett and Seven breathed a sigh of relief and continued their conversation.

"So what do you want me to do? Do you want to punish them now, or do you have other plans?" Seven asked.

Scarlett was in no hurry to answer him. She was trying to think of something to punish this lowly Harris Family. They were Grandpa Riley's old friends—Afraid that if she took action now, Grandpa Riley would suffer too.

She needs to ask Xander about it!

"Give me more time. I need to check something. But, you also have to pay attention to the gangsters they contact. If you need anyone else, you can call a junior member to do that!"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Yes, I will!" Seven answered seriously. He did need more people. Now that he had permission from Three, his job would be easier.

Before they knew it, their lunch was finally over.

Rex didn't stay long in Astington. Late in the evening, he flew back to NYC.

And Seven, he continues his work of spying on the Harris Family. As for Scarlett, she was back in her office and immersed in her busy work at her computer studio.

*****

A few days later.

Today is the day Scarlett has been waiting for. Her best friend will arrive. And just for today, she won't work as hard as the last few days.

For the last few days, she only has had time to work and video call with Xander. She rarely left the RAS building. She hadn't even returned to the White Mansion since last week.

Scarlett didn't want to spend her day alone in that big house. So she prefers to live in her apartment because it is easier for her to work anytime she wants.

After finishing her morning routine, she called Logan and Cruz to prepare for their trip to the airport — she wanted to pick them up in person.

A few minutes later, they headed to the airport. Logan drives a bigger car than usual with two more people to pick up.

"Boss! I'm so excited. Finally, Zara and Tyler are here!!" Cruz clasped his hands together as he looked back at Scarlett sitting in the back row. "I won't be lonely anymore…" he smiled sadly.

"You're still lonely? Didn't Logan and I stay with you at the office for a week?" She narrowed her eyes at Cruz.

"Indeed! But you live upstairs... That's different!"

"Well, Tyler can only be here a few days. He'll return to the LA office after completing the contract with Studio Phoenix!" Scarlett reminded Cruz.

She wanted to keep Tyler here for a long time but couldn't. Tyler has a lot to do in their LA office, their busiest office, and most of their deals are based in LA.

"I know! But that's okay, I have friends in the next few days..." Cruz said, then turned his gaze to the road.

Scarlett didn't comment on Cruz again. She started to enjoy the view, but later something crossed her mind, "Logan, have you made a reservation at the Platinum Restaurant?" she asked.

She wanted to treat her best friend at the most luxurious restaurant in town and at the same time pay for her promise to Cruz.

"Yes, ma'am, I have made a reservation for you. Don't worry. The manager has prepared a VIP room that you normally use." Answered Logan.

"That's perfect!" Scarlett answered, and at the same time, her cell phone vibrated.

Her smile grew wider when she saw a text message on her cell phone screen.
