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
"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 returned with a flat expression, as usual. However, this time it was clear from his hardened jawline that his mood wasn't good."Where's Zeyn?"Xavier halted, questioning one of the bodyguards on the lower floor.Respectfully, the man informed Xavier of Zeyn's presence on the upper floor, specifically in their special office.Without saying anything more, Xavier immediately headed upstairs.He intended to personally investigate the report Zeyn had mentioned on the phone. Regardless, he needed to ensure everything himself.Click!Upon reaching the special door that could only be opened with a card, it now swung wide open after Xavier placed his card in the detector."What happened, Zeyn?"Xavier entered a dimly lit room.All screens above were on, connected by Zeyn to a computer containing all the information.Allowing Xavier to see everything more clearly."Young Master can see everything for himself. From the reports and the data on the screens, especially the financial report
"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
"Want a sandwich?"Audi seemed to offer the breakfast she had prepared as a packed meal to Xavier.The man then shifted his gaze, seemingly uninterested in the woman's topic. "If you want, I can share this with you."Xavier glanced at the woman before a sigh brought his attention back to his computer screen."What can I do? I'll eat this sandwich alone."Audi put the food in her mouth, casually chewing and enjoying her morning meal.The woman leaned back slightly in her chair, unintentionally glancing at Xavier, who remained focused on his computer screen.Her brow furrowed as she observed the man daringly exposing everything about the company in the already bustling office."Hey! What are you doing? Being too ambitious like that can ruin all your plans!"Audi reminded with eyes darting around. However, after everything that had happened, she certainly wanted true justice for the man.But as usual, Xavier completely ignored her words, concentrating solely on his work."Xavier! Don't b
With a still-trying-to-be-controlled emotion, Victor told whoever knocked on his room door to come in."Excuse me, sir!"That brief and cold sentence instantly diverted Victor's attention. The person who was disturbing his thoughts appeared right in front of him.As if the man intentionally wanted to make Victor even more annoyed."Xavier! It's an honor for me to meet you on this bright morning. You're the only staff whose arrival I always eagerly await."Victor straightened up, opening his arms wide as a sign of respectful welcome.A faint grin began to form at the corner of Xavier's lips. Ready to face the man whose mood seemed recently disturbed."There are some documents you need to check, sir. Please."Xavier handed several documents to him.However, Victor seemed uninterested. It was as if he deliberately ignored what Xavier had just conveyed."Wow! Amazing. I can see now that your work continues to impress me. Rarely do I ask you to revise your work. Why? Because all the docume
Are we really going to be here?" Audi blinked rapidly, trying to convince herself that what she was seeing wasn't a dream."You're responsible for what you've said." Without a hint of sympathy, Xavier spoke coldly without turning towards her.It's unclear how Audi's expression appeared to the man, but it seemed quite pitiable."Of course. The club is not a nightmare for me!" Audi confidently asserted, though doubt lingered in her heart.As much as possible, she concealed all those feelings from the man. She didn't want Xavier to consider returning her to Zeyn. Nevertheless, Audi had to stick to her stance to understand the man's situation."Remember my words well. You're responsible for yourself. So, don't make me trouble because of your actions."Before getting out, Xavier seemed to issue a threat to the woman.Certainly, Audi nodded confidently. "I will remember everything you instructed."Both of them then exited the luxurious car. Intentionally, Xavier chose a parking spot quite f
