Chapter 175 - Becoming Scarlet Wilde
CEO Zhu was coming in two weeks and Scarlet had some preparations to make.CEO Zhu replied to Scarlet's email in two days and fixed a timing where they could meet up to discuss further about the collaboration matter. However, he was unable to confirm the timing for the warehouse and factory inspection yet so Scarlet took it as a hint that it wasn't time to make any movements. Scarlet updated her sister of the meeting and Alex frowned.
"Will you be alright? Entertaining a business partner will mean that you have to cut classes and even apply for a study leave if necessary. Golden Frost might be doing well but Pineapple Group isn't someone we can ignore if we want their help to expand to the East market. Should I accompany you?"
The writer laughed. "It's fine. You have several art assignments due so you'd be very busy. My bridging course isn't something difficult and there are no exams either. I can afford to take a week off from school. Besides, CEO Zhu wouldn't be arriving anytime soon. He said that there were still some urgent matters requiring his attention in Hong Kong so he could only arrange to come to America in two weeks. I don't know if we should let mom know about it. Mom is better at showing guests hospitality but I think CEO Zhu came for more than just business discussions."
Alex smirked. "Why? Does he specifically want your company? Sister, I didn't think you would fall for older guys but seeing as you're a little old-fashioned at times and a serious romantic at heart, I think CEO Zhu will be a good brother-in-law!"
Scarlet blushed and vehemently denied it while Alex pretended not to know.
"I- It's not like that! CEO Zhu and I are just business partners, there's nothing going on behind the scenes. He's just really stressed out at work so it's a holiday for him. I was just going to show him around New York or something... besides, he's not my type."
Alex's eyes widened and she quickly latched herself onto Scarlet, not letting go. "Really? You have a type? Let's hear it!"
At that moment, Scarlet realised her mistake and paled. She tried to escape but even Claire joined in, teasing Scarlet until the blushing girl confessed.
"H-He's someone I met at school..." Scarlet smiled shyly and Alex screamed while Claire nodded with a small smile, urging Scarlet to continue.
"Is he tall? Is he handsome? Is he smart? What's his name?!" Alex demanded to know and the poor writer had to pill the details. Claire quickly confiscated Scarlet's phone to look for the person called Edward Bayon and quickly memorised the phone number before Scarlet wrestled it back.
Alex sighed wistfully. "I thought I'd be the first to get a boyfriend. Who knew that you would beat me to that..."
Scarlet sighed at that. "He's not my boyfriend. We're not friends yet. He's just a friend of Alicia's..."
Claire heard that and raged. "He likes Alicia? He's two-timing you? I'm going to castrate him!"
"No! No! No! He's friends with her and I have only known him for a few weeks! Edward's a nice person but he doesn't talk much. We haven't really spoken because I'm always hanging out with Alicia and her group... There just wasn't the right chance to talk to him. Besides, me liking him is only one-sided. I don't know if he has a girlfriend but I won't be surprised if he has one."
Both the head maid and Alex looked at the writer with pity. Alex gave her sister a hug and told her that it didn't matter what happened in the future. If Edward made her cry she would kick him and Claire promised to help Alex dispose of the body if Alex wanted to run the boy over with a car in the dead of the night.
Scarlet was slightly traumatised by the talks of violence when Claire and Alex started discussing the best methods to torture a sc.u.m so she slowly crept away and returned to her room. CEO Zhu was coming in two weeks and Scarlet had some preparations to make.
