Keith’s unwavering proclamation of being Xavia’s boyfriend made Zivon’s gaze momentarily darken.
Undoing his tie and loosening two buttons, Zivon then said in a frigid tone, “…There’s no need for you to proclaim that fact if your relationship is true. Also, I know how to deal with my own affairs, so don’t you worry about me.”
…How exceptionally intimidating… This was definitely a man who could kill his opponents without a second thought, and knowing this made the corners of Keith’s mouth twitch.
That aside, to think that even after talking for so long, he had failed to get a satisfactory answer about Zivon’s opinion of Jenna. How infuriating…! In the end, Keith simply got a cigarette and left the room in a rage…
Zivon himself simply headed into the bathroom before undressing… The warm water that soon ran down his back really helped ease his nerves…
As he was showering, however, he suddenly heard a sweet and familiar voice call out, “Young Master Keith…? Are you in there…?”
Naturally, Zivon could easily tell that that was Xavia, and his frigidness instantly returned. She was here to meet Keith this late at night? Was she already missing him after just being apart for a few hours?
Regardless, upon hearing the trickling in the bathroom, Xavia figured that Keith was inside. As for why she didn’t think it was Zivon, she had earlier seen a looming figure leave the room to smoke. Since it had been dark, she couldn’t really see who it was, but she knew that Keith wasn’t a smoker, so she simply assumed that Keith was in here.
Whatever the case was, she was then prompted to add, “Either way, I’m here to share an idea I had… Remember how Grandma had said that everyone could compete to get the green space? Well, the thing is, I’m willing to come up with a proposal to help you get your hands on it!”
…Her? A girl who had never dabbled in the real estate industry before? Hell, she didn’t even have any business experience. Where was she even getting all this courage to boast?
Either way, the icy Zivon then turned the water off and began wrapping a bath towel around himself. Once he was done, he was about to get out when he heard Xavia say, “Look, with how valuable that piece of land is, I’m sure your status will skyrocket if you make good use of the area. By that point, you could even become the chairman!”
Her breath now hot, Xavia eventually managed to say, “…L-Let go of me…!”
Raising a brow, Zivon then replied, “What’s with that tone, hmm? Should I have just let you fall onto that lit mosquito coil?”
Since they were high on the mountains, the people here generally used mosquito coils instead of electric mosquito catchers since the former was more effective at doing the job. Regardless, upon turning around, Xavia realized that Zivon wasn’t kidding. There really was a lit mosquito coil behind her! Had she fallen on it, her butt would’ve surely been done for!
With that in mind, she quickly turned to face him again before saying, “…I… No, I appreciate it… Thank you…”
“Actions speak louder than words if you truly wish to thank me,” replied Zivon as he locked his seductive eyes into hers. As if that wasn’t already suggestive enough, the man had just stepped out of the shower and every inch of his physique was in perfect shape…!
