Mark only left Yvette after accompanying her to Xavier's office. The door wasn't closed, and she gently pushed it open.Xavier was in his chair as he focused on going through some documents. She had to admit that handsome-looking men like him looked even more dashing when they were focused on their work. She remembered how she had fallen for him because of his attractive face.Xavier knew she had arrived and looked up. "Come here."She walked to him and asked, "Can I help you?""From now on, you don't have to work downstairs anymore." He put down the documents in his hands and looked at her. "You'll start working here as well."She was confused. "Why?""No reason. That's just what the company has arranged." He might as well have said that he had arranged it himself.Since they were under the same roof, she had to be cautious. "Sure."Yvette thought it wasn't a bad idea. That way, they would have more chances to see each other. She had thought about it earlier and figured that
After a long while, Yvette felt like something was wrong. Xavier was only kissing her and not doing anything else. Just as she felt she was running out of breath and her mind was going blank, someone knocked on the door.Xavier finally stopped kissing her. Mark was there to give him a report. Yvette quickly returned to her seat after she had failed again.That afternoon, Yvette and Xavier went for lunch together. The driver drove them to the restaurant Xavier frequented. While they were having lunch, he tested her. "Don't worry. I won't be getting a divorce with you."Yvette was stunned. Before she could understand what he meant, he calmly said, "Since Daphne wants a title, I'm going to give it to her. As for our legal marriage, I won't end it. So, you don't have to worry about it."She looked at him in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?""If you don't like it, feel free to give me other suggestions."She didn't realize he was testing her. "We'll get a divorce, and you can marry
Xavier's heart was racing. When he realized that Yvette had wounds on her hands and legs, he dragged her into the car once more and told the driver to take them to the hospital.Yvette sat in the car in fear, thinking about how impulsive she had been earlier. She couldn't let anything happen to herself because she still had Noah and Zachary.Xavier said with a long face, "Why are you angry?" Yvette didn't answer him; she was already in pain because of the wounds on her hands and legs. It was quiet in the car again. Xavier hated it when she refused to speak to him.Yvette used to have a lot to say, especially when she had been younger. She had always spoken to him nonstop. However, she randomly stopped talking for seemingly no reason now.He was frustrated. "Where were you going just now?""Nowhere. I just wanted to go for a walk." He still had Noah, so there was nowhere she could go.The driver stopped the car at a hospital's entrance, and Xavier got out of the car with Yvette.
Tristan thought Yvette couldn't reach some parts of her wound, so he reached out to help her. When Yvette saw him reaching over, she thought he was going to hit her. So, she instinctively dodged him, and the ointment fell on the back of his hand."I'm sorry." She stood up. "I'm leaving now."He knew she had misunderstood him, so he tried to explain himself. "I was just trying to help you apply the ointment.""Thank you, but there's no need for that." She wanted to leave, but he didn't want her to misunderstand him again. So, he blocked her path."Xav told you to wait for him to return."She looked at him coldly. "I can wait for him outside."Seeing how she was acting, Tristan didn't feel great at all. "Please don't be afraid of me. I won't hurt you again."Yvette felt like she had heard the world's greatest joke when he said that. Tristan had said the same thing to make her let her guard down in the past. "Please step aside." It didn't matter if he wanted to hurt her or not.
After getting in the car, Xavier turned back to glance at the hospital. "What did you and Tristan talk about after I left?""He asked if I had saved someone back in university." Yvette didn't hide the truth.When Xavier heard that, he remembered how Daphne had seen Tristan and Shannon get into an accident back when he had been in university. She had even saved both of them. "What happened after that?""Then, you came."She didn't want to talk about it anymore. It was getting late, and Xavier had to attend the company's anniversary celebration. Yvette didn't think it was necessary for her to go back to the office with him, so she said while looking out the window, "I want to go back.""You'll attend the anniversary celebration tonight."Confusion flashed in her eyes, but Xavier didn't explain himself. Instead, he told the driver to take them to the celebration venue. Before the celebration started, he arranged for her to stay in a quiet room.She changed into an elegant dre
Back at the anniversary celebration, Xavier looked at Shannon as she offered him one glass of wine after the other. Then, he noticed Daphne from the corner of his eye and figured out what was going on. "I still have work to do tonight, so I can't drink anymore." He rejected the glass of wine.Shannon noticed that he was a little buzzed and shot Daphne a meaningful glance. The latter immediately approached Xavier and supported him. "Since you drank some wine tonight, let me take you home, Xav." No matter what happened that night, she was determined to sleep with him!Xavier was still sober. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, his gaze was fixed on a graceful dress from afar. A beautiful woman was wearing it. Xavier didn't push Daphne away. Instead, he looked intently at Yvette.When Yvette showed up, a lot of people started to notice her. She looked so outstanding that no one in the huge crowd recognized her as the hearing-impaired woman from the Snyder family. When S
What Daphne said really affected Xavier because of Noah, who was supposedly Yvette and Claude's son. When he got out of the building, he saw Yvette talking to Quentin. After Quentin walked away, he quickly approached her."Are you done here? Shall we go back now?" Yvette spoke normally, but it didn't sound the same to Xavier anymore.It felt like his stomach was burning, but he still looked sober. "Yeah." He looked deep into her eyes and asked, "When did you start talking to Quentin?"Quentin was a quiet guy. Even when he went out with his friends to have some fun, he would always stay silent. Other than Yvette, Xavier had never seen him talking to another woman before."He called out to me first, and I didn't say anything to him." When Xavier heard that, he stopped prying.After he led Yvette to get into the car, he got in as well. Yvette thought it was weird. After all, he had drunk a lot of wine that night, and the wine had been tampered with as well. She didn't understand
Yvette couldn't find a way to vent her frustration, so she walked into a bar and got herself a few drinks. Being drunk was the only way she could temporarily forget all of her troubles.Meanwhile, Xavier took a cold shower for more than an hour before the effects of the drug slowly faded away slightly. He exited the bathroom in a robe and realized that Yvette wasn't at home. After he asked his bodyguard, he learned that she had gone out to the bar.Yvette was drinking alone in the bar when a tall figure suddenly blocked the light in front of her. She looked up in a daze and saw Xavier's dashing face."Why are you here?" When she spoke, her breath reeked of alcohol.He frowned. "When did you learn how to drink?"In the past, Yvette would det drunk after just a glass of beer. But at that moment, the counter was full of empty glasses. Yvette hadn't expected him to ask about how she had gotten into drinking and was stunned for a moment. Then, she said charmingly, "I think it was a
