Scarlett sat in the back seat inside the luxury jet — a small lounge area. Meanwhile, in the front seat, Xander Riley is chatting with Ben and Logan. They seemed to be discussing serious business.

She ignored them as she was distracted by the stewardess serving her breakfast. Well, it couldn't really be called breakfast, more like lunch.

The dishes she serves are too heavy to eat in the morning — sirloin steak, pasta, salads, chocolate lava cake, and various drinks, even milk. The stewardess didn't stop. She came back with a plate of fresh fruit.

'Did this stewardess forget it's only 8 am?' She thought as she smiled at the stewardess when she put down the fruit plates. The table in front of her was now full of delicious food.

"Please enjoy your breakfast, Mrs. Riley..." said the stewardess with a respectful smile.

Scarlett smiled back at the stewardess, but only for a moment because seconds later, her smile disappeared when she realized how the flight attendant had called her, 'Mrs. Riley!?'

Had she heard wrong?

Since when did this stewardess know she would be Xander's wife? Did Xander tell those around him about their wedding plans?

Instantly she felt confused and worried. Does Xander plan to announce their marriage?

"Mrs. Riley, call me if you still need more food." The stewardess continued her words.

Scarlett realized that she really didn't hear it wrong. This flight attendant had indeed called her Mrs. Riley.

"Thank you…" Scarlett smiled back at the flight attendant after being shocked by how she addressed her.

More food? Did she think of her as a pig?

How could she ask for more food when the table before her almost fails to accommodate all the dishes!?

The number of dishes on the table should be for two people. It made her wonder if Xander would join her for breakfast.

Scarlett glanced in Xander's direction after the flight attendant had left her alone.

She wanted to ask Xander, but the man looked very serious and seemed to ignore her. After nearly half an hour, they flew not once the man greeted her. Maybe not even glancing at her, he had forgotten entirely she was on a plane.

'Damn you, Mr. Xander Riley!! You're so heartless!!' Scarlett can't help but scold Xander in her mind. She swiftly turned her eyes to the food in front of her.

Looking at the dish on the table, she became suspicious the food had come from the hotel they were staying at. She still remembered the steak she had ordered at the hotel, similar to the one on the table.

'Did they pack this breakfast from the Beachfront hotel?'

She put aside her curiosity for a moment as she finished her breakfast happily. She didn't leave anything on the plate, not even fresh fruit and a glass of milk.

After feeling full, she decided to watch a movie. But only five minutes passed, and her eyes felt so heavy. Her drowsiness was unstoppable. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

While in the front area.

"Master, the meeting this noon can't be postponed. Old master has arranged this meeting, and you must attend..." Ben Lewis had tried to clear Xander's schedule today, but he couldn't do it for this one.

Xander, reading a file on his iPad, slowly raised his head to look at Ben, but before he could answer him, his gaze caught Scarlett sitting in the back area. For a moment, he saw her. He secretly chuckled as he watched the girl sleep.

He stood up from his chair.

"Master?" Ben asked, confused, seeing Xander standing up. "About the meeting?"

"So be it." Xander massaged his temples before continuing, "You guys carry on without me!" He then walked to the back area and closed the connecting door.

Now, it was just Xander and Scarlett in the back seating area.

Xander stood before her and stared intently at her sleeping face; She looked innocent and beautiful. Unlike when she was awake, this girl looked mysterious and wary of her surroundings.

Especially when he was around her, this girl seemed to be keeping a distance from him, and he could feel that this girl didn't like him.

'So what did you expect, Xander!? She's just a random woman you asked to be your wife!'

Xander shook his head and sat down on the chair beside her. Now they are only separated by an aisle. After sitting down in his chair, he felt a little confused. Why was he curious about her?

He looked at her again with a frown appearing on his forehead.

Was it because she was the only woman who wasn't interested in him? While out there, all the women he meets are willing to do anything to get his attention.

But this girl? She even hid her true beauty from him. Not once did she seem to want to attract his attention through her beauty.

This made Xander curious, making him want to know more about her. Because this is something new for him. And for some reason, he felt that this girl's attitude tarnished his status as the number one bachelor in this country.

Before long…

Scarlett woke up from her sleep. She was surprised to find a thin blanket covering most of her body. She remembered she didn't use the blanket at all before falling asleep.

'Who?'

Before she could figure it out, in the corner of her eye, she saw Xander sitting in the chair next to her. His eyes were tightly closed, and his arms were crossed over his chest.

She was mesmerized.

'It's him who gave me this blanket?'

A smile bloomed on her face as she felt moved by his small gesture.

For a moment, she satisfied her eyes, looking at his handsome face this close; his nose looked so sharp, and his jaw looked firm.

"Miss Scarlett, are you satisfied with what you saw?"

Scarlett's heart almost stopped when she heard a familiar voice strike her ear. She froze, unable to move or even blink when their eyes met.
