While in the bedroom.
Scarlett immediately ran to the bathroom to do her routine.
Xander could only laugh, seeing the girl running like a tiny fox. Before she closed the bathroom door, he said, "I have prepared clothes for you. You can wear them if you want to..."
It didn't take long for her to step out again, wearing her gray pixie wig and contact lenses. She had also changed clothes — Xander was very considerate. He prepared a knee-length black dress for her.
"Xander, have they noticed?" Scarlett asked as she walked over to sit beside the bed to wear her shoes. She saw Xander standing by the glass window with his back to her.
"I think so!" Xander turned to look at her. He smiled and walked towards her. "But you don't have to worry. My people can all be trusted. You've proven it, haven't you!? Logan has never betrayed you. I didn't know you were the Director of RAS from him..."
Scarlett felt relieved and, at the same time, amazed by Logan's loyalty. However, hearing what Xander's last sentence confused her. If Xander doesn't find out from Logan, then who told him!?
"You know from Uncle Harvey!?" The old man must have told him. Gosh! How dare he betray her!?
Xander sat beside Scarlet. They were so close that she could feel his arm touching hers. She pretended to ignore her noisy thoughts and tried to act calm.
"No! Not him... But..."
"Don't tell!?" Scarlett's eyes widened in surprise. "Cruz!?" Suddenly anger flashed in her eyes, feeling betrayed by that idiot Cruz. How dare he!?
She planned to settle accounts with the man when she returned to the capital.
At the same time, Cruz, who had just finished breakfast at Red Animation Studio, sneezed. "Shit!! Who's talking about me so early in the morning!?" He cursed that person and continued to prepare to go to his office.
"Hahaha, you're wrong, but you're also right!" Xander could only laugh at Scarlett, who looked angry. This little girl looks so cute when she's mad. Her pouty mouth looked sexy like she was inviting him to eat her cherry-red lips.
Xander cleared his throat while trying to push away his sultry thoughts.
"That's my brother, Carter!" He continued after seeing her forehead furrowed slightly, "...but my brother got that information from your assistant!" He tells her how his brother got the information from drunk Cruz.
'I know it!! That is my useless assistant! He was an idiot!! Damn!!' Scarlett tried to keep herself from getting angry in front of this man. But of course, she cursed that idiot. And for that, someone in the capital sneezed again.
After being shocked by the news about Cruz's disloyalty, Scarlett finally returned to the important things she wanted to discuss with Xander. About Nicole's funeral arrangement, she tried to ask him for help.
"Don't worry! I've asked James to take care of everything. The hospital will also help with the process..."
Scarlett was surprised to learn that this man had done it without him asking. But then, she suddenly grabs Xander.
Her action could have made Xander look surprised. He saw the girl's delicate small hand in his arm.
'Good. Now, this girl also starts to make progress! She began to take the initiative.'
Inwardly he smiled before slowly lifting his head to see her in the eyes. He saw an eerie glint through his eyes. He raised his eyebrow, confused.
'Why does she look scared!?'
"Are you alright!?" he asked.
"X-Xander... How's my dad? Let's go see him!?" Scarlett suddenly stood up and pulled Xander to his feet. He just smiled as he followed her out of the room.
Meanwhile, the four men in the seating area were dumbfounded by what they witnessed—a petite girl with short gray hair was dragging a tall, handsome young man. The young man looked like a child who had just made a mistake and was ready to be punished.
Once the petite girl and tall man disappeared behind the entrance, they could finally breathe normally.
Francis Philip, who had regained his senses, said, "...Ben, tell me! That gray hair is our young Madam? And she is dragging our domineering cold Master!?"
"Mmm... You're right!" Ben answered without taking his eyes off the entrance. He was curious why the young Madam looked frightened. Did something happen to Mr. Piers!?
Before he wanted to chase after them, he stopped when he heard Francis' words.
"Damn!!! Finally, the desireless Xander finally blooms!" Francis clapped his hands in admiration. This was the first time he witnessed his Master looking so happy around women.
"Since knowing Master Xander, this is the first time I've seen him smile so gently at a woman!" Francis continues his words.
"Hahaha, of course, he'll be gentle. Young Madam is his wife! Well, I agree with you guys. Ever since Master met Madam, he gradually changed, and the change has become faster lately..." Logan couldn't help but agree with Francis after witnessing his boss' lovey-dovey moment.
"I agree too. Since Master married Madam, he's been a lot gentler to us. And...." Before James could finish his words, Ben stopped him.
"Alright, guys!! Stop gossiping about Master. Now you better start doing what Master Xander assigned you before!" Ben said seriously. Instantly the three men dispersed from the room.
Ben could only chuckle as he left the room. He will follow his Master. But, Madam dragged him where?

While at the same time...
Scarlett arrives at the patient ward, where her father was transferred after surgery. However, how scared she was when she heard the voices of several people chatting, sounds tense, from inside the room.
Quickly she entered the room. She saw several doctors and nurses standing beside her father's bedside. They looked serious and did not notice her presence.
"What are they doing!?" Scarlett quietly muttered as she slowly walked over. Her hand that was still holding Xander's hand tightened.
Her heart was scared. Something might have happened to her father.
However, before she could say anything, her eyes widened at what was happening in front of her...
