Scarlett was surprised to see Maddy still waiting for her when she got home. She usually would dismiss Maddy, but today she doesn't have the energy to do that. Also, she needs Maddy's help.
"Young madam, you look very exhausted!" This was the first time Maddy had seen Scarlett exhausted like she was now; Her eyes weren't as bright as usual, and she wasn't as enthusiastic talking to her as she used to be.
Not hearing Scarlett say anything, Maddy continued to help her remove her wig and dress.
Scarlett has an odd routine. She must shower before sleeping, even in the middle of winter. And this habit of hers had surprised Maddy and Erica. Particularly the temperature now in early autumn was freezing, and she still had to shower even though it was midnight like now.
When Maddy and Erica learn about Scarlett's routine, they ensure warm water is ready and the bathtub is filled with it before she comes home.
"Ma'am, I have prepared a warm bath for you. Do you want to take a bath with essential oils, or do you want to wash as usual?" Maddy asked again after she finished helping her take off her dress.
Scarlett yawned a few times, but she felt a little excited when she heard the warm bath. "A short soak would be nice, Maddy. Thanks!" She spread her arms as Maddy wore a black silk robe on her to cover her half-naked body.
"Yes, ma'am!" Maddy helped Scarlett into the bathroom.
"I will wait for you here, Ma'am. Afraid you fell asleep in the bath!!" Maddy says.
Usually, Xander would take over these duties, accompanying Scarlett. Still, since he wasn't home, Maddy decided to stay in the bathroom. Worried, she will fall asleep.
"Hmm..." Scarlett removed her silk robe and removed the remaining material still stuck on her body to cover her private part. Her smooth and alluring naked body was exposed, causing Maddy to immediately turn her gaze elsewhere.
Scarlett soaked in warm water that had been dropped with essential oil to relax her body and mind.
"Maddy, set a 5 minutes timer!" Scarlett said and closed her eyes. She only needed five minutes to soak in the tub before taking her beauty sleep.
"Yes, ma'am!" Maddy immediately set a timer and stood at the end of the bathroom. After a while, she remembered their plans for tomorrow.
"Ma'am, are you still going for your morning walk to see the sunrise tomorrow?" Seeing Scarlett exhausted like now, Maddy was worried that she wouldn't be able to wake up early.
"Of course!"
"Okay, ma'am. I'll make sure to wake you up before sunrise!"
"Thanks, Maddy!"

Meanwhile, in Dubai - 8 AM.
Neatly dressed in his black suit, Ben walked over to Xander's room on the same floor as his room to wake him up and prepare his needs in the morning as usual.
Even though Ben has a card to open Xander's suite room, he always gives Xander the sign by pressing the bell twice — here's the sign they agreed on.
After ringing the bell, Ben immediately opened the door, and how surprised he was when it opened.
He saw Zoey Warner standing before him wearing only a white bathrobe with her hair wrapped in a white towel — she looked like she had just gotten out of the shower.
For a moment, Ben froze in his place. Confused, is he in the wrong room because Zoey's room is on the same floor as theirs? But his consciousness told him that it was impossible. Because he doesn't have Zoey's room card!
'What the hell!! Why is this woman sleeping in Master Xander's room!?' Ben was shocked beyond words. 'Is this just my dream!?' Secretly he pinched his arm, and he could feel pain.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom 'SHIT! I'm not dreaming. This woman is actually sleeping in the same room as Master Xander!!'
Ben's hands clenched in annoyance at Zoey's behavior, increasingly showing her interest in Xander. "What the hell are you doing here, Zoey Warner!? Why are you sleeping here?"
Zoey Warner smiled sweetly at Ben before saying in her musical tone, "Good morning Ben!"
She ignored Ben's question and walked past him out of the room. She deliberately made Ben think the way he wanted. That's her goal, anyway! She needed to create rumors about herself and Xander. Hoping Xander's wife would hear and be jealous of her.
Ben's knees turned to jelly when he realized something had happened between Zoey and his Master.
"Master!! Did he really sleep with that woman!? Is he crazy? What if the young madam finds out!?" He spoke quietly.
Ben is worried that Zoey Warner is taking advantage of Xander, who was a little drunk last night after drinking with his business partner until midnight.
He entered the presidential suite room and prepared all the files for Xander to read this morning. After that, he made room services for Xander's breakfast.
It only took him a few minutes to finish his work, and now, he was pacing in front of Xander's bedroom.
Ben gives Xander five minutes if he doesn't come out, then Ben will barge in and see how he's doing.
'Is he still exhausted from having such a wild night with Zoey!?' Just thinking about it made Ben shiver.
"Master!! I hope you don't act lowly to devour your best friend, Zoey! No, your Secretary Zoey!! I will be mad at you if you do that, sir!" Ben muttered.
Even though Ben is only a senior personal assistant to Xander, he has known him for a long time. He worked for Xander since he was in high school and took care of all his needs.
And during that time, he never found his Master approaching another woman when he had a partner. But what he saw just now, shatters his imagination of his boss having a clean life — Far from being rumored as a playboy. He never saw Xander with many beautiful female friends to warm his bed.
Moments later...
The bedroom door opened, and Ben saw Xander looking dashing in his formal attire; a set of light gray suites, with his hair, neatly combed back. He looked as handsome and brilliant as ever.
"Hi, Ben. What are you doing there!? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost!?" Xander said and walked past Ben, who just froze in place.
Ben could open his mouth a few times but couldn't find the words to answer.
