Even though Palm Avenue is far from the city center, property prices in this area are pretty high. This is because the location can be considered a prime place — many foreign tourists and the rich in this city prefer this place because of its location close to the beach and not crowded.
'Miss Scarlett, do you own this building? In this expensive area?' Logan doubts it. He still remembers her family problems in B Island. Her family almost sold her to someone else because they needed money.
Logan put aside his curiosity and immediately got out of the car and stood a few steps behind Scarlett. He silently listened to what the red-haired man in a flashy color outfit was saying to Scarlett.
"Boss!! Why is your skin tanned? You've been sunbathing on Island B for too long... this isn't good!" Cruz's voice was so loud it made several people in the lobby turn to look at them.
"Oh, Please!!" Scarlett rolled her eyes in embarrassment.
"No. No. This isn't right, boss!" Cruz was still shocked to see the change in Scarlett. He stopped right before her and scanned her from head to toe. He didn't stop there but circled her to ensure she was alright.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Don't worry, boss. The only problem is your skin. I'll sign you up for skin care treatment... your flawless skin will be damaged if you don't take care of it soon." continued Cruz.
"Stop that crap, Cruz!!" Scarlett glared at him. Then she turned to look at Logan. She called her to come closer. "Cruz, this is Logan Lee. He is..."
"Oh, my god..." Cruz's eyes beamed as he saw a handsome man wearing a black suit and glasses standing beside his boss. He stepped forward and looked closely at Logan. "B-Boss… this man?"
Logan felt strange being stared at by Cruz as if this man had stripped him naked with his beaming-looking gaze. He felt goosebumps.
Scarlett could only smile, seeing how excited Cruz was now. Just before she wanted to explain to him, she almost choked on hearing Cruz say,
"Brother-in-law? Oh my God!! You must be my brother-in-law, right? Damn it!! You look so fucking handsome." Cruz's cheerful tone could make Scarlett almost choke.
'Brother-In-Law!? What the hell is this Cruz saying!?' Scarlett was utterly speechless.
Cruz grabbed Logan's hand before continuing, "I approve of you, brother!! You are perfect for my boss. Come on, come on, get into the building first…." He dragged Logan into the building. He ignored Scarlett, who was looking at him with ridiculous-looking eyes.
Logan, "..."
'If Master Xander hears about this, he might kill me.' Logan felt chills run through his body at the thought of his Master going berserk.
Not wanting the idiot Cruz to talk more nonsense, Scarlett quickly walked up to Cruz and slapped him on the shoulder.
"Ouch! Boss! Why did you hit me?" Cruz stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Scarlett. His hand holding Logan's hand slipped as he rubbed his aching shoulder.
"Get someone to move my car. And who is this?" Scarlett saw a bald, middle-aged man who had followed them into the lobby. She could guess this man was in charge of the building and the other man was the security head.
Cruz cleared his throat. "S-Sorry boss, I forgot to introduce you... This is Jeremy Holder. He is the manager of this building. And this big man is our Security team leader, Drake" Then Cruz looked at Jeremy and Drake.
He continues, "Here, our big boss Ms. Scarlet, from now on, make sure all the security and staff know about her. No one asks her anything because she doesn't like being asked by strangers. And, this..." Cruz looked at Logan.
Logan feels tensed to learn that Cruz will introduce him as Scarlett's husband. Just before he wanted to correct Cruz, he heard Scarlett say something.
"Hello, Mr. Jeremy, Mr. Drake. My name is Scarlett." She offered Jeremy and Drake a handshake, then she turned her gaze to Logan, ignoring Cruz, who still wanted to speak. "...and this is Logan Lee. He is my personal assistant. From now on, he will follow me everywhere. So it would be best if you treated him like I did. Give him an access card to enter this building freely…."
"Yes, Ms. Piers, I will manage," said Jeremy.
"Call me, Scarlett! Or call me the way Cruz calls me…." Scarlett replied. She doesn't want to use her father's name anymore. She felt her head spinning every time she heard that name.
While Scarlett was talking to Jeremy, Cruz, standing in front of her, was shocked by what he heard.
'Personal assistant!? Why does she need another personal assistant? Does she want to replace me?' Cruz looked at Scarlett intently. He wanted to ask her now, but that would be impolite, right? He will wait until he has the chance to ask.
Soon, Scarlett finally finished talking to Jeremy and the head of security. And now, the three of them walk towards the VIP elevator. The elevator only stops on the ninth floor, Scarlett's office, and on the tenth floor, her penthouse.
"Boss! Why did you hire a new assistant!?" Whispered Cruz while glancing at Logan, who walked a few steps behind them.
"Later! I will explain later..." Scarlett replied. She can feel her stupid assistant feeling displeased with this sudden announcement. She already predicted this would happen.
Soon the three of them entered the VIP elevator.
Even though Cruz still felt confused and curious, he held himself to ask again, but his eyes couldn't stop staring at Logan with mixed feelings.
'This man is very handsome. Where did she find this man? And how did he agree to be her assistant?' Countless questions now filled Cruz's mind.
Cruz was lost in his own thoughts. He still couldn't process all of this and was curious about Logan Lee.
As for Logan, he was still shocked when he found out that Scarlett was the owner of this building.
So, the Young Madam, who he thought was just an employee in this building, turned out to own this company?
'What company is this?'
He remembered the name of the building on the front written RAS Building. RAS!? This name sounded familiar, but he forgot where he had seen that name before.
He forced his brain to remember but still couldn't remember it. But, when the lift doors opened, he saw a gold plaque on the wall, 'RED Animation Studio.'
He froze.
