Branch One Hundred and Thirty Nine

After Xavier, Brian, and Jason finished their meeting it was already almost sunrise. Xavier drove Jason back to his hotel. They needed to rest up so they can be in time for the business launch that evening.

"Young master, you are welcome" one of the staff greeted when she saw Xavier walk in tiredly with his hair scattered.

Jessica heard the conversation in the kitchen. She was tempted to go out to have a look at him. She wanted to see him and tell him thank you in person.

"Where is Jessica?" Jessica heard Xavier tell the staff.

"She is in the kitchen preparing breakfast" she responded.

"Thank you," Xavier said walking towards the kitchen.

He had wanted to see her since he left home. Maybe he just wanted to know how she was doing. That is what it had to be.

Jessica heard him walk toward the kitchen and she quickly tried to fix her hair and act as if she was busy even though she was waiting for the muffins she had put in the oven.

"Why are you up so early?" she heard his voice.
