The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Rex Morrison didn't stay in Astington much longer. He rushed back to NYC. Because he had to move faster to do a DNA test between Scarlett and Withers.

He is eager to know the results because he wants to devise a new plan to discover the truth about Rosalie Withers. And he also made the arrangements to start looking for Scarlett's father. He felt Scarlett's biological father was not an ordinary man.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ As Rex got into his car to head to the airport, he called Seven.

"Is there something strange going on around our friend Three?" Rex asked.

"Not much. It's just that person from country M. He still assigns his people to stay in the North District and the Capital. And, they already know that Scarlett is in disguise..."

Rex was silent as he rubbed his eyebrows, thinking of other ways to eliminate them. Before he could say anything, Rex heard Seven say, "And, her husband put some invisible people around her. This makes my mobility around Three a bit more difficult."

"That stupid guy Theodor is like a thorn in the flesh!!" Rex muttered while cursing inwardly — He never imagined Scarlett would be involved with so much trouble, not only with that crazy bastard Theodor but also with the Withers.

Despite his anger, Rex can't do anything now. Because both sides were not easy opponents.

"Seven, you can leave her alone. Let her husband protect her as long as she lives in this country."

"Are you sure?" Seven said worriedly. He knew Scarlett could protect herself, but since she was a valuable asset to their organization, he couldn't risk leaving her alone. At the same time, her pursuers were already aware of the fact that she was undercover and living in this country.

"Yes!" Rex snorted. "You go to country X to back up Nine," said Rex. After discussing their next plan, Rex ended his call and closed his eyes. He needed to rest his mind.

While Rex was deep in thought, Scarlett started busying herself with her work.

But not long after...

Scarlett was snapped out of her concentration by the sound of her phone ringing. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Cruz calling. Taking a deep breath, she picked up the phone and answered annoyedly, "What's wrong, Cruz?"

He hesitated momentarily before replying, "I'm sorry to interrupt, Boss, but I just wanted to remind you to take a lunch break. You've been working non-stop for hours. Mr. Xander would hate it if he knew about it."

Cruz had been pacing in front of Scarlett's office since earlier, but he was too worried about disturbing her. However, the longer he waited, the more nervous he became. Moreover, he repeatedly remembered Xander's warning to remind him not to let Scarlett miss her lunch.

Scarlett felt guilt wash over her. She knew Cruz was on point that she had neglected her lunch for work's sake. She softened her tone and replied, "Thanks for reminding me, Cruz. I appreciate it. I'll eat now..."

Cruz was relieved. "Good job, Boss. Xander has reminded me several times to ensure you don't miss lunch. He is quite concerned about your health..."

Scarlett felt her cheeks blush hearing her husband's name. She was so focused on her work that she failed to remember that.

She decides to speed up her visit to Xander's office. She will go there immediately after her lunch.

After ending the call with Cruz, Scarlett stood up from her desk and stretched her hands. Then she walked out of her office towards the dining table.

She was surprised when she saw her favorite variety of foods neatly lined up on the table. However, she only touched on fruit salad and a few pieces of grilled chicken.

While she eats lunch, she tries to clear her mind from work and focus on recharging her energy.

Scarlett felt refreshed and ready to visit Xander's office when she finished eating. She quickly gathered her things and left her office, her mind preoccupied with visiting Xander's office for the first time.

She couldn't wait to meet Zoey Warner, Xander's secretary. Since she knows that Xander has a female secretary in his office, she tries to ignore that she has been developing jealousy over the last few months. Still, it's getting harder and harder to deny.

She wondered if the woman was still trying to seduce her husband. If so, then she would teach her a lesson!

Scarlett took a deep breath to calm her nerves as she arrived at Xander's office building. She walked into the sleek, modern lobby and went to the executive elevator. As she rode up to the top floor, her mind raced with all the possible outcomes of the meeting with Zoey Warner.

When she exits the elevator, Logan directs her to Xander's office. He also asks Scarlett permission to visit Ben in the other room next to Xander's. Scarlett gently nodded to Logan and walked over to Xander's office room.

Scarlett stealthily walked into Xander's office and was surprised to see his office door was not closed tightly; there was a small gap she could see through. A warm smile appeared at the corners of Scarlett's lips as she approached his office.

While in the Xander room...

Zoey Warner clenches her fists as Xander ignores her. He just looked at his laptop without lifting his head to look. It really hurts her.

"You can leave now, Zoey! And, from now on, don't ever come here again. If you are still trying to take someone else's job like this, I will fire you!!" Xander snapped without looking at Zoey. He was tired of dealing with her. And firing her is the only way to stop her from bothering him.

She was shocked. This was the first time Xander had said that after all the years she had worked for him.

As if something gave her courage, Zoey walked up to Xander, trembling to hold back her emotions, "Xander, I've loved you since we were in college, and you know it. But why don't you ever give me a chance? Why, Xander?"

Zoey took a deep breath, trying to steady herself as she saw Xander's surprised expression. She had always hidden her feelings for him, and the thought of confessing her feelings to Xander terrified her — afraid Xander would distance himself. But now, she had no choice. This man wanted to fire her because of that damn woman, Scarlett Piers.

"What are you doing, Zoey!?" Xander said, his voice sounding shocked.

Zoey ignored him, her fingers shaking as she unbuttoned her shirt. She didn't care that she was exposing herself in front of her Boss, the man she had loved for years.

"I've tried to hide my feelings for you, Xander. And God knows how hard I tried. But I can't do it anymore. I need you to know how I feel," Zoey said, her voice quivering with emotion.

Xander was at a loss for words as he watched Zoey unbutton her shirt. He knew this woman liked him. But he always ignored that because he had no feelings for her, nor did he want to risk their friendship and professional relationship.

Now, Xander couldn't believe that Zoey had the audacity to do this. And this has upset Xander so much.

"Whatever you want to do, I want you to stop it NOW!" Xander said, his eyes looking straight into hers. "You made a big mistake telling me what's in your heart because I never liked you more than a good friend and colleague..." He couldn't give this girl any hope.

Zoey ignored his warning, throwing her shirt aside to reveal a black lace bra. She felt an adrenaline rush as she saw Xander's eyes widen in surprise. She smiles, feeling happy to show herself in front of him.

"This is not appropriate, Zoey Warner. Please cover yourself," Xander said, his voice stern. He was speechless when he saw Zoey completely ignoring his warning.

"Xander, I don't care that you have a legal wife. I also don't care if you don't love me. But, please give me a place by your side. I want to be near you... You know, I only have you in my heart, Xander."

"Stop saying nonsense!" Xander felt his blood rush to his face from anger that this woman had ignored his warnings.

"Xander, please accept me. My body and my heart belong to you." Zoey Warner stopped in her tracks right beside Xander's chair. She could feel her love for this man growing when their eyes met. "Please give me a chance." She said, and at the same time, her skirt fell to the floor. Now her body is almost naked. She only has a lace bra and panties covering her beautiful curvy body.

Xander's face darkens before he can avoid her. Suddenly Zoey jumps into Xander's lap and wraps her arms around his neck.

At the same time, Scarlett appeared at the door. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw a nearly naked woman sitting on Xander's lap.

'What the hell!?' She muttered while covering her mouth in fear of making a sound.
