Almost Hard To Believe

Zara frowned, more and more questions swirling in her mind. She couldn't help but ask, "If not Rex, then who, Scarlett? Who? Is he someone I know?"

"Maybe you know him. Maybe you don't. I don't know. But his name is Xander Riley! He owns this hotel and restaurant. So, what Cruz said, that I don't need to buy this restaurant to eat here for free, for that reason..."

Scarlett stopped to see their reactions. She smiled, seeing them freeze as if they were still digesting her words.

She continued to enjoy her dessert for the two of them to absorb her words first.

After a few minutes passed, Tyler, who was usually calm about anything, spoke first. He said, "Scarlett, you can't play tricks on us like this. When, where, and how do you know Xander Riley? Your story is hard to believe." he raised his eyebrows in confusion.

As much as he thought there was no way Scarlett would have the chance to meet Xander Riley. He knew who the man was.
