Chapter 85Billy smiled at his friend who seemed to have a sour look on his face. "Are you going to keep it up, Xavier?" asked Billy with a small chuckle. "What do you want?! No more small talk." Billy threw more of his mocking laughter at the man. "I sent an email to this company three days ago but didn't get a response. So, I decided to come in person." "What email?" asked Xavier looking at his closely. "You can check it first." Billy invited. "No need to talk too much, you can say it in person." Billy then nodded his head in compliance with the man's request. He then took out the green folder in his bag, thrusting it right in front of Xavier. "It's not just about remembering the level of my company. Our friendship has also been established since many years ago. How about we tie up our companies together?" Billy began to explain his goals and desires to Xavier. "I am inviting Baxier's company to cooperate with my company." Xavier looked through the folder Billy had given
"This or this?" For who knows how many times, Audi kept repeating the same question by holding up two different dresses to show her husband. Xavier, who was tired of the question, looked reluctantly at the dresses shown by Audi. "Wear whatever you like and are comfortable wearing," Xavier broke off after a long time of having to hold back his emotions. The woman did not stop when all she had to do was choose a comfortable dress that she would wear for the duration of tonight's party. "Which suit are you going to wear? Uh not just a suit, everything." Xavier looked indifferent. He did not really care about appearance, Zeyn was his confidant to choose the clothes. "I don't know for sure. Zeyn will decide." Audi frowned unhappily at the answer given by her husband. "How come it's Zeyn anyway!" annoyed her pouting her lips."What's wrong with me asking Zeyn, who has been doing this for years, for help?" "Well, it's not wrong. He's used to being your fashion stylist. But, the conc
"Chika? How did you end up here?" Billy approached the woman still embraced by Xavier.He quickly pulled Chika's hand, urging her to descend from the altar, not wanting to draw attention from everyone present."Ugh! Bil! Seriously! My hand hurts, you know."Xavier, seizing the chance to distance himself from the woman, moved quickly towards Audi, whose emotions were now in turmoil."I beg you. Don't do this. You've misunderstood everything. I have no relationship with her."Honestly, Audi wanted to leave at that moment. However, recalling her recent return to her husband's mansion due to a misunderstanding made her abandon that intention.Although it hurt to see her husband in the arms of another woman, Audi had to remain resilient for now."I'm fine." Audi tried to force a small smile on her lips.It was challenging for her to do so, but she felt she had no other choice."Ugh! What's wrong with you, Bil? It hurts when you pull my hand like that." Chika protested, releasing her hand i
Audi came out while tidying up her pajamas. She also did her nightly skincare routine. "You're not mad at me anymore, are you?" Xavier stared at his wife's face intently, continuing to look at Audi until she lay down on his side. "Of course. Why would I be angry? I don't think there's any serious problem." Xavier let out a long sigh. From the way the woman spoke alone, it was clear how she was feeling right now. It was a common thing for Xavier if a woman would tell a lie or something that contradicted her words. Xavier tried to get closer to the woman, eroding the distance created between the two. "Honey." Audi looked misbehaving but as much as possible she had to restrain herself at that time. She could not be weakened just because of the man's gentle call of affection. "I'm sleepy. Tired. I want to rest quickly." Audi emphasized without turning her body even a little. Just as Audi insisted on continuing to maintain a sense of selfish indifference to Xavier's affectionat
Keysa stretched all the joints in her body. She didn't know what was happening, but Keysa felt that her whole body felt almost the same as fried chicken. Crushed, as if she had been wrestling or fighting for too long last night. "I'm really tired. Why does it feel like my whole body has just done strenuous activity?" Keysa tried to move more fluidly, opening both of her eyeballs wider. However, just as she was about to stretch her body more freely, something heavy rested on top of her. Her brow furrowed as her stomach seemed to be crushed by something she didn't know what. Slowly, her eyes began to open. "Billy?!" Keysa's tone of voice that sounded 2 octaves higher than usual instantly caught the man's attention as well. The look on his face looked annoyed because his deep sleep had to be disturbed due to the sound from the woman's mouth. "What's wrong, Key? Why are you yelling so early in the morning?" Billy ruffled his hair roughly, covering his mouth which seemed to be ya
"Hm... so you two were going to the office, huh?" Chika asked as she took a sip from the glass filled with orange juice that was served by the owner of the house. "Yes. Today is not a holiday. So, Audi and I were supposed to go to the office." Audi grasped Xavier's hand, signaling him not to say anything too harsh."It's okay, Chika. You don't need to listen to Xavier's words. Our work can still be taken care of later. Your coming here willingly is exactly what we should prioritize right now." Audi didn't want to hurt the woman's heart. It was evident from the look on her face that she was starting to get moody after hearing Xavier's sentence that sounded as if she didn't like her best friend from college. A thin smile also seemed to rise perfectly at the corners of Chika's lips. The woman looked happy because she was welcomed well by Audi. "Thank you very much, Audi. I understand. After all, all these years of being in the same circle of friends with Xavier, I've memorized every
"I'm sorry, Chika. Earlier, Xavier suddenly wanted to take a shower first. So, I couldn't help but wait for him. I also wanted to wash my face earlier." Audi reasoned even though it was clear Chika already knew what they were doing in there. It was evident when Chika's eyes caught sight of the plaster on her neck, even though it wasn't there at all before. "It's okay. I came here all of a sudden anyway. So, you guys didn't have any preparation. I'm not bored either, I have Zeyn to chat with. He he.." Chika smiled saying that she didn't mind at all the attitude of the two who left her for a long time. "Yes, Chika. Well, I feel bad for you. It feels like I left you here for too long." "Already, it's okay too. I'm serious. I'm used to waiting a long time too." Chika shook her head indicating that she had nothing to worry about with that woman. Audi seemed to smile as well, followed by an arm that wrapped perfectly around her waist. "Sorry, Chika." Chika nodded at her friend's br
Chika came out of the toilet room with a panicked look on her face. She was anxious after hearing the loud howl that signaled someone's pain. "What's going on? Why?" Chika rushed over to Xavier and Audi who were sitting opposite each other at the dining table. Her eyes rounded at the sight of Xavier's hands, which were now as red as if they had been burned. "Oh my God! What happened to your hands, Vier?!" Chika immediately snatched both of Xavier's hands from his wife's grip. Her worry for the man forgot about the fact that Audi was the man's legal spouse. "Oh my! What happened, Vier? Why did you get hurt like this? You're so careless. In a moment, I'll find some ointment for you." Chika looked so worried, calling the servants there to ask where the p3k box was in the mansion. Silence and petrification. Audi seemed to flinch when she found Chika who was much more alert than her. For a moment, Audi, who was afraid something would happen to her husband, forgot what to do. She
