The conversation between the three heats up when Scarlett diverts the conversation about Zara's romance with her admirers in LA. However, it wasn't long before two waitresses walked into the VIP room and started serving them.
They serve high-quality meat and a variety of tantalizing sauces. Eating BBQ at this fancy restaurant is different from eating at a roadside BBQ restaurant or an average restaurant.
In this place, they didn't have to grill the meat themselves, but the servers would help them. Since they had nothing to do but eat, they continued chatting while they ate.
"...I will miss you so much, Zara!" Scarlett said. Even though she can't always be with Zara during her stay in this country, they talk by phone or video call almost every night.
Zara is Scarlett's love and spiritual teacher. She always keeps balance in Scarlett's life. In the past, if Scarlett faced difficulties, the first person she would look to was Zara.
Ever since Scarlett married Xander, she feels that her relationship with Zara has drifted away, which worries her.
She felt bad for not telling Zara about her parents, she didn't want to burden Zara with her intention to find her biological parents—After all, she could feel that there was danger lurking for her mother in the past, which was why her mother had hidden on B Island.
Scarlett was meticulous about this. Because if her mother deliberately hides her family, it means that the safety of her mother's entire family is at stake.
She didn't want anything to happen that would put their lives at risk!
Until now, only Rex and Ten know. Even Xander has not known about her intention to find her birth mother and father's family. Scarlett plans to tell him later, once she has found them.
"Ugh, girl!! You can visit me in LA. You only need to fly there for a few hours, right?" Zara rolls her eyes.
"Yes, Boss, let's leave early for the US. I'm starting to miss my old apartment after this young lady..." Cruz rolls his eyes at Zara to blame her.
"What!?" Zara narrowed her eyes at Cruz.
"...Zara, your talk about my hometown reminded me of my old hometown. It's tough to resist going back home. I mean, who can? Not a normal person." Cruz said. He lived in this city for nearly half a year and began to miss his home.
"So why are you blaming me for that!?" Zara glared at Cruz and then looked at Scarlett "...Boss, can you fire this good-for-nothing Cruz!? He's getting slower every day and pisses me off!"
"..." Cruz felt like cursing Zara. This girl betrayed him after what he did the few weeks she stayed here!?
"..." Scarlett could only sigh and sighed profoundly. She was exhausted looking at these two fights. 'Why did these two become Tom and Jerry in such a short time? Did I miss something?'
"I wish... But we can't go there any time soon, Cruz! I still have some things to finish here. Besides, 3 more weeks won't seem like long, right?" Scarlett said with a smile.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Although in her heart, she wanted to fly there immediately. However, she will have to wait until Rex informs her of the results of his investigation into her mother's background.
But there was something that worried Scarlett...
Ten had been investigated in a few weeks, but he had not found any light on it. This made Scarlett curious about why her mother's background was so difficult to trace.
Scarlett knew Ten's ability was relatively high, not far from her, yet no news about his investigation. Are they facing difficulties?
"Hahaha, Boss, I'm just kidding... Sure, sure, I'll wait patiently." Cruz's shoulders dropped slightly, slightly disappointed, but he still smiled so Scarlett wouldn't be mad at him too.
But, now his mind is trying to find something to revenge on Zara. He's doing this while stuffing a piece of meat in his mouth.
"Girl, how many days will you stay in the US?" Zara asked.
"Maybe a week or two?" She wanted to stay longer, but she couldn't because of Xander.
However, Scarlett's most significant reason for avoiding living in the US is that those pursuing her will know. They likely placed many spies in NYC and LA, places she used to go and stay before her accident.
"That fast?" Zara is surprised. She thought Scarlett would stay a month in the US. But then again, when she remembered that this girl was married to a hot guy like Xander, she could understand her reason.
"Yeah!"
Zara cleared her throat before continuing to say, "Girl, you have to come to my place, okay!"
"Huh!? Aren't you also going to Rex's birthday? We can meet there, right!?" Scarlett raises her eyebrows, confused. She had no plans to visit other cities. She will only stay in one place for her safety.
"That's different! I hope you can come to LA because I want to take you to this place. I found some great restaurants for us to try!" Zara's eyes lit up at the thought of her plan. "And, you should relax a little bit. You worked really hard these past few weeks, Scarlett!"
"Boss, this time, I agree with Zara! You worked hard this past week; if I'm not mistaken, you will have all your work done this month. And in December, you have plenty of time to relax before working on a new project."
Cruz was also worried about Scarlett's health — she's been working like no tomorrow lately. He continued his words, "... Boss, let's go to LA! It's been a long time since we visited that place."
Hearing what Cruz and Zara said made Scarlett tempted. Indeed! She needed to go somewhere to relax, and that was LA!
"Fine! I will adjust my schedule."
...
Without them realizing it, the warm and lively lunch was finally over.
However, they didn't leave R Mall immediately. Scarlett, Zara, and Cruz started exploring this huge Mall. As for Logan, he had been stealthily following them from a not-too-far-not-too-close distance to give them some privacy.
