Xavier descended alongside Audi, who still appeared traumatized. The woman seemed unsettled, as if her mind had paused at a point where she almost lost her dignity."Xavier..."With a soft tone, she bravely called out to the man, who barely glanced her way. One of his eyebrows raised, indicating he was questioning why she called him."I... I'm still scared because of what happened earlier. Can I ask you for something?"With caution, she tried to phrase her words so as not to mislead Xavier."What?"After hearing his response, Audi gathered the courage to look at his face."Can I sleep with you? I mean... share the same room. But if you want me on the sofa or the floor, that's okay too. I'm just uneasy about the current atmosphere."Xavier stared flatly at her. A long exhale escaped his mouth."Come along."Xavier took the lead, and Audi quickly followed behind him. She didn't allow much distance between them. Though initially, Xavier wanted to object, his father's words reminded him o

Xavier came to the office alone.His gaze was sharp, with a typical impassive face that never deviated from its expression."Sorry, Mr. Xavier. There's a parcel for you."Xavier, who seemed focused on his goal of the row of desks specifically designated for staff, then turned to the receptionist's desk.The woman had called him earlier.Without uttering a word, Xavier immediately took the letter and continued his journey towards his delayed row of desks."He doesn't even know how to say thank you. At least say thanks or something; his expression is so flat. There's not a single sign of manners."As usual, gossiping people always talked about Xavier. They seemed unwilling to accept him for who he was.Always wanting anyone in their sight to conform to their discussions.A long sigh escaped from Xavier's mouth as he placed his bag and the letter on his work desk."Why should I even bother!"Xavier quickly dismissed the thoughts enveloping his mind. Suddenly, he found himself intrigued t

Audi positioned herself on a swing near the pool at Xavier's mansion. A long sigh escaped her, still fixated on Xavier's words from last night.The man's uttered words continued to disturb her. "Argh! What's happening to me? Why am I even thinking about it? He has the right to speak and love anyone. Besides, I'm only here to accompany and on Uncle Zavi's orders. There can't be anything more I expect."Audi tried to dismiss all the seemingly irrational thoughts in her head. "Miss Audi, did you call me?"She turned, searching for the owner of the voice. A sweet smile adorned his lips. "Yes. I left greetings with... those who guard the mansion. If you see them, tell them I'm looking for you."Audi repeated what she had told the mansion's bodyguard. Respectfully, Zeyn nodded obediently. "Yes, Miss Audi. He informed me. Is there anything I can do?"Zeyn asked, still somewhat bowed. He seemed hesitant to meet the woman's gaze.His position in the house made Zeyn feel that direct eye contact

"Thanks, dear. I didn't know what I would do without you by my side. Maybe, now people will look down on my boutique."Elnora stretched out both of her hands, embracing her lover tightly.The sweet smile on her face never faded, expressing how grateful she was to receive support from her beloved."Yes, dear. You don't have to feel sad anymore. I'm sure there are people who don't like your business and want it to fail. Everything's become a business secret, honey."Victor seized the opportunity, planting a long kiss on the woman's forehead.He responded to his lover's smile with equal sweetness."So, does that mean we have a date tonight?"Elnora, initially happy to be comforted by him, suddenly fell silent. While facing such a crisis, he was still focused on the agreement they made earlier."So?"Lost in her thoughts, Elnora quickly brushed aside that concern. She then looked at the man still holding her in his arms.A slight nod with her gaze meeting his for a moment indicated Elnora

"Xavier, Xavier? Are you still awake?"Audi is clearly seen faithfully staying by the man's side.After the incident where Audi found Xavier holding his head as if enduring pain, the woman quickly took him back to his room.Audi has no idea what happened to him. She just hopes that he didn't get a clear look at the photo she briefly held."Still in pain?"Audi tries to engage him in conversation.But only faint groans are heard in her ears."You're so stubborn. I told you to see a doctor. I know you're just pretending to be strong. It's better if we go to the doctor now and check about your condition."Audi seems to be persuading the stubborn man.It's not Xavier's nature to easily agree to persuasion from someone he considers a stranger."You can leave my room!"Still holding his head, he gives her a sharp look.Audi is truly baffled. Even in the face of adversity, he continues to show his stubbornness.Not only that, harsh and cold words keep coming from his mouth."No. I'll stay he
