At the same time...
Xander Riley enters the lobby of the RAS building, followed by Ben behind him. He looked dashing in his dark gray suit. His tall stature and handsome face made him attract the attention of the people in the lobby, especially female onlookers.
"Gosh!! Who's that guy? He's so handsome..." A young woman who had just stepped out of the elevator whispered to her two colleagues.
"Oh my God... Oh my God..." Another woman covered her mouth while her eyeballs almost popped out in surprise at the sight of Xander. "That person is Mr. Xander Riley!?" She stammers.
"WHAT!! No way! Why did the King come to our office?" Another woman replied while halting her steps, following her friends frozen beside her. She was shocked beyond words.
"Quick... take a picture! We should share it on the office forum!"
"What a lucky day. We get to see Mr. Xander Riley so close..."
"Oh my... you're right, our luck is good today. We saw two Rileys in our building. Will the Riley Group work with our company?"
"It seems so!"
"Sis, have you taken a picture yet? Or, make a video... We should share it with the group. Let the others die of envy." They all giggle while stealing Xander's videos and photos.
"Relax, I did it. Ugh, I wish our big boss could be Mr. Xander Riley's girlfriend!"
"Hihihi... I know, right? It would be perfect for them to become a couple. I will ship them."
"Me too. I will join the ship for that couple! Mr. Riley is the best bachelor candidate for our goddess big boss...."
"Ladies, what are you gossiping about?" Suddenly Cruz appeared behind the three girls. He was curious to hear their conversation.
The three girls were shocked to see Cruz; they all straightened up while staring at him. Their faces slowly become pale.
"M-Mr C-Cruz..." They all shouted in shock.
They had never interacted with the man known as their big boss' confidante, but all they heard was that he had sharp-tongued. And he doesn't hesitate to punish staff who make mistakes, especially if they spread gossip about their big boss Scarlett Piers.
"S-Sir... We are talking about Mr. Xander Riley!" One of the girls said while pointing at Xander Riley.
Cruz gawked at this sight because he didn't expect to see his idol Mr. Xander Riley standing a few steps away from him, looking as handsome as ever.
But something went wrong!
'Why did this king suddenly come here? Wasn't the only one making appointments with the boss Mr. Carter Riley!?' Cruz was confused.
Meanwhile, the onlookers and Cruz were in an uproar with the presence of Xander Riley. Ben and Xander walk towards the reception desk.
Ben gracefully enters the lobby and ignores everyone present. He was used to the excessive attention from people around his Master, so he didn't mind them.
Likewise, with Xander, he ignored the people around him as if he was alone in the lobby. His calm and cold aura can make anyone who is near him not dare to approach him, let alone greet him.
"Sir, please wait here. I will ask the receptionist first." Ben said and smiled at the female receptionist, who now stood up, smiled, and greeted him politely.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Hello, we came to meet Ms. Scarlett Piers..." Ben smiled at the female receptionist.
The female receptionist had seen Xander Riley. She was surprised and wondered why this big shot had appeared in their building. But, only after hearing Bean's words did she know, this big shot had come to meet their big boss.
"Sir, do you have an appointment with Ms. Piers!?"
"Yes!"
"May I know how to address you?" Ask the receptionist politely, afraid of being wrong, before contacting the big boss's office.
"Yes, we have. You can say to Ms. Piers. It's Mr. Riley who comes..."
"Sir, it seems our boss has received Mr. Riley upstairs... but I will try to call again." The receptionist smiled and then took the phone to make a call.
Ben was surprised to hear that. Who? Did the young Master also come here?
After talking for a few seconds with the receptionist on the ninth floor, she looked back at Ben with an awkward smile. "S-Sir, I'm sorry, but Ms. Piers isn't in her office..."
Xander, who overheard their conversation, frowned. 'Is she going home? Did she forget that I will pick her up!?'
"Sir, should I call the young madam?" Ben is standing beside Xander after talking to the receptionist.
"No need!"
Xander took out his cell phone and made a call, but someone greeted him in a cheerful tone before the connection was connected. He stopped dialing the number and looked at the red-haired man in colorful clothes approaching him.
"M-Mr. Riley, welcome to the Red Animation Studio…." Cruz smiled widely as he politely greeted this big shot, his idol.
Xander didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes clearly showed a big question on his forehead, like he was saying, "Who are you?"
Not hearing and seeing any reaction from Xander, Cruz continued, "Mr. Riley, I am Cruz Reeves, Ms. Scarlett's personal assistant. All this time, I'm the Person in charge who talks to Mr. Carter Riley and Mr. Ben..."
Cruz then glanced at the Person beside Xander, "I believe this is Mr. Ben Lewis, isn't it?" He smiled at the man.
'Damn it!! So you're the one who always rejects me? What a moron!!' Ben could only vent his anger in his heart.
A forced smile appeared on Ben's face as he raised his hand and received Cruz's warm handshake. "Hello, Mr. Reeves, nice to meet you in person..."
Cruz gulped, feeling bad for always avoiding Ben.
"Hahaha, sorry, Mr. Lewis, if I haven't complied with your request. I was following my boss's order..." He paused as he drew closer his head toward Ben. He whispers, "Mr. Lewis, my big boss, is a graceful lady, like a goddess, but sometimes she turns to Demoness..."
He smiled through his eyes as he took a step back to put some distance between them. "So, Mr. Lewis, I hope you understand..." he winks at Ben.
Ben, "..."
