The Billionaire's Genius Wife

At noon, Scarlett arrived at one of the biggest luxury shopping malls in town, R Mall.

R Mall is a large complex of stores and businesses that offers a variety of goods and services to consumers. A luxury shopping mall caters to high-end consumers and offers high-end products and services.

Contains over 500 stores, a 10-screen cinema, and an indoor theme park. It also has an Olympic-sized ice skating rink and over 100 restaurants and cafes.

The R Mall is connected to the Riley Hotel and an office complex owned by Riley Group. Although Scarlett stayed at the Riley Hotel, visiting this mall was her first time.

At first, she refused to visit the R Mall, but since Cruz found the best Korean BBQ restaurant in this shopping mall, she couldn't avoid coming to that place.

She asks Logan to reserve a VIP room at the Korean BBQ restaurant. Scarlett wants to ensure she'll be comfortable at lunch. By comfortable means, she won't have to run into many people if they're sitting in the halls.

When Scarlett and Logan arrived at 101 Korean BBQ, she headed straight to the VIP room — Cruz and Zara were already there. She greeted them casually and entered the room with Logan.

Scarlett couldn't help but gasp at how the interiors of these VIP rooms were usually designed to provide guests with a luxurious and personal dining experience. There's a sofa set with elegant lighting fixtures, artwork, and luxurious finishes such as marble or wood paneling. On the other side of the room, near the glass wall, there's a main dining area with a city view.

"How did you find this place, Cruz?" Scarlett asked after she finished observing her surroundings. And at the same time, a female waitress in a black suit came over with warm white towels for them to clean their hands.

"Boss, did you forget? I'm a competent food hunter. Of course, I know this place. And, since today was the last Zara to join us for a meal, I chose this place..." Cruz was happy to finally find a recommended Korean restaurant in this city because his Boss, Scarlett, likes to eat Korean food, especially barbecue.

"Well done, Cruz!" Scarlett raised her thumb, sincerely praising him. Cruz replied with a big grin. But only for a moment. Cruz's wide grin vanished when Logan chimed in on their conversation.

"Young Madam, actually, I told Cruz about this place. This restaurant just opened because Master Xander wanted a Korean food chain..." Logan said as he looked at Cruz, who was looking at him intently.

Then a mocking smile tugged at the corner of Logan's lips, obviously irritating Cruz even more. Still, Cruz was left speechless because Logan was telling the truth.

Just as Scarlett and Zara were taken aback by Logan's words, so was Cruz, this was the first time he had learned that this restaurant was part of the Riley Group.

"X-Xander opened this restaurant recently?" Scarlett didn't expect her husband to remember her sentence. A few months ago, she told him that she liked Korean food. Too bad she hasn't found a good Korean restaurant in this city yet.

"Yes, Ma-am..." Logan said.

"Wow!! Xander is so cool. Ugh! Scarlett, does Xander know that you like Korean food... I mean Korean BBQ!?" asked Zara, feeling envious. She suspected that this restaurant was made only for Scarlett.

If Xander does that, then Zara vows to kneel before him. That man would make every woman out there jealous of Scarlett if they found out.

'Gosh!! Xander is a professional husband who spoils his wife!' Zara could only mutter inwardly.

Since knowing Xander, Zara's ideal type of man has changed. She is now like a guy like Xander, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He no longer liked the bad boy type like Carter! She hoped that one day she would meet such a man.

...

Scarlett was trying hard to hold back her happy smile while pushing away what was on her mind; Impossible! Xander wouldn't do it, would he? After all, he is a businessman. He must have seen a promising business opportunity, so he opened a restaurant in this town—it couldn't be because of her, right?

Scarlett shook her head and focused back on her surroundings. Then, she looked at Zara, who was still waiting for her answer. She smiled before saying, "Yes, I told my husband before. Why are you asking?"

"Hahaha, I can already guess; Xander must have opened this restaurant just for you, girl!! Ugh, I'm really envious of you now, Scarlett..."

"Wow, really? My idol was the one who did it?" Cruz's face brightened up when he heard that. His idol is really something — He shows his class as a man who endlessly dotes on his wife.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Then, Cruz clapped his hands and smiled widely, "Boss, now you don't have to worry about finding another Korean restaurant. You already have this one!"

"..." Scarlett was speechless. Why do they also think like that?

And why did they say it out loud when Logan was with them?

It was clear that this Logan would report to his Boss — she knew Logan had been betraying her all along. He is a double agent!! But Scarlett feigned ignorance, because all this time, Logan was reporting random things.

And besides, Xander already knows who she is, the owner of the RAS. There's nothing to hide anymore.

Right now, she was feeling embarrassed about this one. Because she is not sure whether their assumptions and what she thinks is true!

"Gosh!! You two are overthinking. I'm his wife, not his business partner! This is a big investment for my husband's food and beverage company,  as it involves a famous franchise from South Korea directly... It Needs a lot of negotiation. They must have been working on it for a long time. No way if this deal is only for two months, right?"

Scarlett drank a glass of water in one go to moisten her suddenly dry throat. She would ask Xander when they met later.
