-Zeyn[He ordered someone to follow you, Young Master.]Before packing up to leave, Xavier just opened the message that had been sent by Zeyn hours ago.Even the message was sent right after Xavier contacted Zeyn to report his absence and the woman beside him."Damn!"Xavier slammed the table, venting the anger that enveloped him.Audi, who had just finished packing, appeared to sling her bag over one shoulder."What's wrong?" Audi asked, puzzled by the man's sudden behavior.Xavier remained unmoved, shifting his gaze to the woman."All because of you!"For the first time, Xavier expressed his frustration to the woman through a sentence.His face hardened, his emotions rising as if ready to be unleashed on the woman."Because of me? What have I done?"Confused, Audi tried to seek an explanation for the accusations made by Xavier.However, the man did not articulate his sentence again.His face only showed increasing flatness over time. A long sigh, that's all Audi could do at the mome
"Audi walked through the darkness of the night. She continued along the sidewalk, illuminated by the dim glow of the streetlights.The tears streamed relentlessly from her eyes. Her heart ached deeply upon realizing that the man had truly left her."He really doesn't care about me. I know he's upset and angry with me, but does he have to leave me like this? I'm truly scared and alone."Audi walked, embracing herself.The drizzling rain moistened the earth, but Audi paid no attention, allowing herself to get wet."Where are you, Xavier? I'm scared. I'd rather be scolded by you than be left like this. I'm afraid. I'm really scared right now."Her eyes occasionally scanned the road, hoping to find Xavier and his motorcycle.However, it seemed all of it existed only in her mind. In reality, Xavier wouldn't return for a woman who caused trouble in his life."I shouldn't have done that. No matter what, it's all because of my excessive actions. If I hadn't behaved recklessly, none of this wo
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
Audi opened her eyes when she felt someone's breath brushing against her face. Both of her eyes widened instantly, finding the proximity of her face to Xavier's intensely close.Xavier, facing Audi, had tightly embraced her waist."Am I dreaming?" Audi mumbled, pulling her hand slowly to assess the situation."Ouch!" Audi exclaimed when the pinch she gave to her face felt painful, indicating that she wasn't currently dreaming.With difficulty, Audi tried to swallow her saliva. Being so close, she could feel the man's breath leaving an uncontrollable heartbeat debate for her.She had to admit, the man was very handsome. Even while sleeping, Audi couldn't stop staring at him.Complimentary words involuntarily escaped Audi's mouth and mind.The perfectly sculpted figure left Audi only able to gaze and go silent."No! What's wrong with me? Why am I like this? Stop this madness, Audi!"Audi closed her eyes for quite a while, trying to dispel any strange thoughts in her head. At that moment
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
Victor returned to his room, enveloped in anger. The unpleasant atmosphere seemed to linger in the space.Victor's rage had a firm grip on him. "Damn it! He shouldn't have been able to do that."The image of Xavier casually mastering the presentation material, something Victor deemed impossible, haunted him.Armed only with unread documents, Xavier managed to accomplish everything effortlessly.Who is this man? Why can he do the seemingly impossible, according to Victor?Even if Victor were suddenly instructed like earlier, he wouldn't be able to pull it off."Damn it! All the plans I've made have fallen apart. I need to come up with new ideas to make that bastard get what he truly deserves."Victor slumped into his oversized chair.A knock on his door successfully captured Victor's attention. His furrowed brow tried to guess the identity of the visitor."Come in!" Victor replied as usual.The man who had been on his mind since earlier turned out to be the one at his door."Good after
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
Audi seemed to slap herself, trying to wake up from the silly question she had asked Zeyn earlier."You fool! What kind of question is that, Audi? Why would you ask something like that to Zeyn? What if he said it to Xavier? You'd be done with that guy."Audi appeared to pace back and forth like a working iron."Excuse me, Miss Audi!"The familiar voice made Audi turn around. Her unlocked door allowed Zeyn to call her directly."Yeah? What's up?"She hurriedly approached him. He handed her a package."From the post office."Audi nodded, accepting the letter.After that, Zeyn seemed about to leave, but before he could take more steps, Audi stopped him."Wait, Zeyn!"He halted, turning to face her."About my question at the pool earlier. I hope you won't tell Xavier. I'm just afraid if he finds out that I might...""Find out that Miss Audi has fallen for him?"Audi widened her eyes, not expecting such a thought to cross his mind."No! Not that! What are you talking about? There's no way
