CHAPTER 3

[ Emperor's Group of Companies]

'Mr. President, the guest wanted you to come to their welcome party and they also want to thank you '

Said Gin my personal Assistant who helps Ria with all the work and she’s my secretary.

' Okay. I'm going. '

I said but he still didn't leave. So, I looked at him only to see him stupidly smiling.

'What?'

I asked in confusion. He scratched the back of his neck.

'Ahm Sir, don't you plan to bring Mrs. Zaires?'

I looked him in the eyes to see if he was joking but he was not. Even though he's smiling, his eyes say something else. Ria and he wanted me to expose Scarlet to the public and I don't want that. Seeing the reaction of my friends toward my wife I can say they like her. She's a beauty and a very talented girl and smart too.

My wife was with them when we had a private outing with them. Except for Gretzel. Only Ria my secretary was the second woman who knew Scarlet and saw the real her aside from my grandmother.

'No. You guys know that. '

I said briefly and looked back at the papers on my desk to sign. Why is he still asking?

'A-ha-ha okay, Sir. '

And he left. I sighed and loosen my necktie.

I pick up my phone and instantly called Zeke. It rings twice before answering.

Hello?

Zeke greeted on the other side. Maybe I can let them handle my wife.

Scarlet's POV

I'm just stunned in my seat. I'm still in the office and I've submitted my sketches.

' Miss Yu Boss is calling you. '

My colleague said. I just smiled and nodded. I stood up and fixed my dress. Then I went to Boss. He is the head of DDC.

I knocked three times and entered.

'Boss, are you calling me?'

I asked him who was busy looking at the papers on his desk. When he saw me, he immediately stopped and smiled and made me sit down.

'Yes Miss Yu, the company got an invitation from one of the respected guests of the Emperor's Group of Companies. They only need one representative here in our company and I chose you because you are the best aside from the others. '

I just kept quiet and nodded. I'm used to this kind of thing. I will always be the one to face the biggest investors just like now. Mentioning the wealthiest group of companies here in our country my boss is different.

We all wanted a project from the company of my husband. If we were able to get a small part in the project they are doing, that is a big blessing, but the fact here is that our company is not noticed much because it is not well known.

' When will that happen Boss?'

'Later and oh, here'

He handed me something and it is a small envelope. I think that's the invitation card and I'm right, it's the invitation card and the exact address and time is written on it.

I looked at Boss again who was just looking at me.

'Thank you for giving me this opportunity again Boss and you can count on me '

I said while smiling at him. The Boss is really nice to me. To us.

'Yeah welcome, it was also your dream Scarlet and I'm just helping you. Your success is also our success. I heard that they're going to talk about the new company of Mr. Zaires.'

I just listen quietly. A new company that Ty will build? Oh, they are rich. Whatever it was, I'm out of it. I know it's unlikely to get a part in the Emperor's Group's big project. Everyone who gets the project has a 3% share in the new company. and it will also help to know our company.

'Scarlet, you're our luck and I hope that you will meet some good investors to support this company. And help you to take part in that New big project '

I took a deep breath before nodding and smiling. I said goodbye and went back to the office.

I sat down and looked at the invitation card again. It's 8 in the evening at Dark Hill Hotel and Restaurant where the two had a date.

My problem is, I don't have anyone with me. I just look like a loner. I sighed and looked at my wristwatch. Two hours left before the start of the event that I will attend.

'Are you going home Miss Yu?'

Hannah, my co-worker who is quite close to me, asked me sincerely.

'Ah yes, I still have somewhere to go '

I answered while arranging the contents of my handbag.

'By the way, you are the representative. Congratulations and enjoy. I wish you could meet Mr. Billionaire'

And she giggles. Oh, these people. Likes the rich and handsome. I thought it looks like it will go, right? And it looks like he already has a date for this night. I smiled at Hannah.

'Hannah like I've said he's my husband so I see him every day '

'Hahaha. Oh Ma'am, you are beautiful and all, but Mr. Billionaire was married and it's really vague that it was you '

I give her a nasty glance and we both laugh. I said goodbye and left the building. I went to my car and was stunned for a moment.

The sound of the phone caught my attention. it's a text from Liam. Tyron's doctor friend.

'Miss Beautiful, me and Zeke will be your company at the party. In case your husband hasn’t tell you this then it's my turn.

Miss Beautiful, can you let us be your date? Your husband was obviously accompanying Gretzel at the party '

That's the message. It's quite long. It's like he's explaining. I was like 'oh' after reading it. I replied 'okay' and started the engine. I need to find some dresses and fix myself for the party. I need to look presentable because for sure a lot of press will attend.

Better to get this done so I can go home early.
