Roman & Scarlett (ON HOLD)

CHAPTER 7

"You are clueless Scarlet," Zack said to her startling her again, and honestly, it was beginning to get on her nerves.

"I don't get what you mean by clueless Mr Zack do you mind explaining?" Scarlet said this time around her brows were frowned in annoyance.

"Never mind am sure in due time you would," Zack said with a smirk on his face.

"Fine," Scarlet said and went back to work but with the thought of Roman lingering in her head, she found it hard to fully concentrate on the emails she was reading.

Scarlet didn't know how long they have been traveling but a few minutes after her conversation with Zack ended the flight stewardess came to serve them food, which she was grateful for.

"Scarlet" Roman called after the stewardess cleared the plates.

"Sir" she answered.

"Alexa replaces her" Roman said to Alexa which she did immediately.

As Scarlet took the seat in front of Roman her heart began pounding heavily in her chest, she couldn't tell if it was cause she was anxious, embarrassed, or something else but either way, this was the first time something like this was happening to her, the first time sitting in front of someone made her nervous, she has always been bold and audacious, whatever this was it had to stop, she had a reputation to protect.

"What's going on between you and Zack?" Roman asked which took Scarlet by surprise.

"What?" Scarlet asked.

"What's going on between you and Zack, I believe my question is a simple one," Roman said.

"Yes it is, but you have to be kidding me if you think I have something to do with a man I just met," Scarlet said.

Roman gave her a suspicious look for a few seconds before going back to his usual cold demeanor, it took every form of control Scarlet had in her to not roll her eyes at him, he was confusing her, and she didn't like it, how could he even ask such questions, what on earth did he take her for?.

"Why didn't you tell me about the gala?" Scarlet asked.

"Thought you were the best out there? You should know these things" Roman said.

"I am the best out there and I do know these things, but courtesy demands you let me know about your schedule ahead of time so I can adequately prepare myself for them," Scarlet said.

"In this world, there's nothing like courtesy, if courtesy is so important to you then resign," Roman said.

After that there was a silent battle between them, Scarlet was doing her best to not lash out at him, he uses every opportunity he gets to belittle her or mark her out as incompetent, it was like he had a vendetta against her and it was beginning to get to her.

while Roman on the other hand was angry at her for so many reasons even he couldn't explain, he hated the way his body responds to her presence, he hated how her scent was buried in his mind, and also hated her guts, he hated how she had a commanding aura, how she commanded attention whenever she steps into a room, he hated scarlet for the same reason he wanted her.

"With all due respect sir, I would appreciate it if you give me heads up next time," Scarlet said with a frown on her face.

Roman was about to say something but the pilot's voice interrupted him, they had arrived at their destination so they had to prepare for landing.

When they got off the jet four jeeps were waiting for them, Zack and Alexa got into one, Then Michelle and a bodyguard got into the second one, Roman got into the third one and told Scarlet to get in with him, which she frowned upon but complied.
