“Hell, it’ll make him love you even more as well! All in all, the best way to achieve such an effect is by having you learn more… adult-like things…”
…Why wasn’t her friend a relationship counselor? That aside, after hearing all that, Xavia was prompted to recall what had happened in the bathroom that morning. At the time, she had felt her palms warming up, almost as though there were tiny electric currents flowing throughout her body…
Shaking the thought off, Xavia then replied, “…What are you even talking about, Dolly? Either way, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
Once the call was over, Xavia headed to the bathroom to have her face washed. She, for one, didn’t have the mind or heart to be thinking about all this at the moment… After all, she still didn’t know how she was going to solve her grandmother’s affair yet…
Xavia’s train of thought was cut short when her message notification tone suddenly rang. Drying her hands, she quickly realized that it was a message from Jenna.
‘Listen to these, Xavia,’ texted Jenna… and shortly after, a few voice recordings were sent over. This prompted Xavia to snort. Xavia really wanted to tell Jenna that she wouldn’t believe any of the bullsh*t she sent her… though in the end, she refrained.
After sighing, Xavia then tapped on the first voice recording… but to her surprise, it turned out that everything that Jenna had sent was related to her grandmother.
‘I’ll transfer half of the Talton Group’s shares to you as long as you agree to save Xavia’s grandmother.’
‘Have you gone mad, Chairman Talton? Why would you go to such extremes for Xavia?’
‘That isn’t important. What’s important is that I believe that you understand just how much half of my group’s shares are. Think properly before you reply.’
Though Jenna was clearly tempting Xavia, her words did make sense. After all, life in S City with the loving and gentlemanly Stefan would surely lead to a much more peaceful life for Xavia… However, the fact remained that she didn’t love him, and the last thing she wanted was to insult Stefan by only pretending to be in love with him…
Just as Xavia had made that resolution, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. With that, she quickly sent a voice message back to Jenna, stating, ‘Heed your own advice by finding a man who actually loves you. I’m sure you’ll be less salty then.’
After the message was sent, she quickly ran to the door… only to stare wide-eyed at the smartly dressed person standing outside who had a dark umbrella in one hand, and a gorgeous bouquet of flowers in the other.
During those few moments of silence, the shocked Xavia took in the rejuvenating scent of freshly watered soil and plants… and while that would’ve usually helped to improve her mood, in the end, it helped little with that as Xavia muttered, “…Young Master Keith? Why are you here again…?”
