The Billionaire's Genius Wife

When Scarlett had just finished taking a shower, she heard a knock on the door.

After making sure her pale-pink-short-pajama set was neat, she opened the door.

She was surprised to see Xander standing in front of her in his casual white shirt and black sweatpants. He was thoughtfully staring at her.

"Can we talk?" His calm voice made Scarlett turn her gaze elsewhere. Too embarrassed to realize that she was staring at him unblinkingly, mesmerized by his good looks.

"Mhm..." She followed him to the sofa. "Is there anything important you want to talk about?" She asked, glancing at her watch.

It was past 10 pm, and she was starting to feel sleepy. After a long day, fly to island B, and go to a dinner party. She is physically and mentally undeniably exhausted. Especially after meeting Angela Lane, her previously high mood after enjoying heavenly food at the party suddenly fell to the bottom. The woman ruined her mood.

Scarlett was worried that Xander might bring up her dispute with Angela at the party earlier. For some reason, she didn't want to hear anything about that woman again.

Now, she also feels strange because Angela's manager has not contacted her even though she wants to solve the dress incident. She didn't want to owe anyone.

"Have you ever heard of Red Animation Studio?" Xander's words were enough to make Scarlett freeze in place. No matter how hard she tried to hide her shocked expression, it was still visible from the look in her eyes.

'Did he find out already?' This was the first question that popped into Scarlett's mind. She stared at him, trying to read his expression, but as usual, he showed nothing but calmness. 'So he does know about me...'

"Yes, I know. Why?" Scarlett wanted to test him on how much he knew about her identity.

"I was just wondering why you are avoiding my company?" Xander asked in a calm and unhurried tone.

One of the conditions for working with Director Harvey Olson was that animation and CGI would be handled by Red Animation Studio. Since then, his company has begun to contact them. But strangely, when his company wanted to meet and offer cooperation with the RAS, they always refused.

Xander glanced back at the girl looking at him with a curious gaze.

"W-What do you mean, Xander?"

"Still won't admit it, director Scarlett!?" Xander's blue eyes slightly narrowed then his lips broke into a smile.

She could only swallow without saying a word.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ 'This man does know. But how could he know?' She was confused. Even though she had set up a company in this country, her name is not listed in the list of company management.

'Has someone exposed me? This must be the old man's doing, right!? How dare he betray me?' Scarlett felt like laughing at Uncle Harvey's impatience. She became curious to read the script. How good is that!?

Seeing Scarlett's zero reaction, Xander continued, "I know about you and RAS, Scarlett. I don't see why you need to hide it from me. You are the Director of the Astington branch of Red Animation Studios, right!?"

She could only smile.

This man did know, but he was wrong about some specific details. She tried to think of what she should have told him. Should she admit it or tell him the truth?

She didn't rush to answer. She turned her gaze to the glass window to see the bright color, the whole light from the skyscrapers in the distance looking stunning.

Scarlett was mesmerized till she forgot that someone was waiting for her answer — she could feel the piercing gaze of the man opposite her.

Glancing now at Xander with a polite smile, she said, "You're wrong…" she could see her brows knit together as if he was displeased to hear her words.

"Are you sure I was wrong?" Xander suddenly wants to beat up his brother for giving him false information. How dare he!?

Looks like he has to let this film project be delayed again. Now, he could only wait for Harvey Olson's efforts to convince the RAS Director to read their script success.

Xander bitterly smiled while rubbing his forehead, trying to hide his disappointment.

After he glanced at his watch, he prepared to stand up and continue working. He didn't want to waste Scarlett's time any longer. He could see she was exhausted.

"Hmm…yeah... okay. I will tell you the truth. You're wrong, but you're not completely wrong. I am not the Director of the RAS, but I have a significant position in RAS. I am the owner."

"I see. Okay, I understand. Alright, let's stop talking about this and get some sleep now... Wait! W-What did you say? Owner? Are you saying you're the owner of RAS!? No way!" After a few seconds, Xander was surprised and almost disbelieved when he realized her words.

'Scarlett owns Red Animation Studio? Is she trying to fool me?' He stared at her in disbelief.

"No, I'm not kidding. It's my company, and I also run it behind the curtain..." Scarlett chuckled at how cute Xander's expression was now. This was the first time she had witnessed his expression like now; his eyes widened as if he had just seen a ghost.

"I received your company script from Harvey Olson, and I promised him to read it. I'll let you know what I think after I read the script..." Scarlett explained. If the script is excellent, she will accept it. But if not, she better refuse it.

Her company lacked human resources for new projects, so it would reject any new projects, particularly those with considerable technical complexity.

"So you're really the person Harvey Olson always mentions?" He couldn't imagine that a girl this young could turn down an Oscar-winning Director. It's so unbelievable.

"Yes, that was me!" Scarlett smiled proudly, but a second later, her smile disappeared as something crossed her mind. "Xander, may I know who is the female lead for the script?"

She would refuse if Xander wanted to use Angela Lane in his movie project.  She couldn't work with someone who would spoil her mood.
