My heart was beating wildly, and my mind had already made a guess.It couldn't be... It couldn't be...When the face I knew so well was revealed, I screamed out in surprise.I felt a tightening around my waist, and Xavier hugged me back.Mr. Smith, who was sandwiched between us, "..."I was about to go crazy with joy. Was I dreaming? If I wasn't dreaming, how could I see him?So I pinched Xavier hard on the face. His face was cold and wet, and I felt like I was squeezing a balloon filled with water. No matter how hard I pushed, Xavier didn't make a sound.It seemed... It was a dream.My happy mood immediately turned to frustration.I can't imagine that touching someone in a dream is like this. It felt so good in my hand, and my skin was so smooth. However, this discovery is no big deal; I would prefer to touch reality. Even if the touch almost does not matter, at least it is real.Who needs to dream when you can be satisfied in reality?I was a little lost, but I still didn't want to
Mr. Smith sighed next to me."Mr. and Mrs. passed away suddenly. It is said that Lyle was the first to find the scene and called the police. The police found the suicide note, which said that the money was left to you, but the company was left to Lyle to take care of. At that time, I thought it was strange that Mr. and Mrs. Lyle had left the company to Lyle, but everyone else said it made sense. They said that Lyle is usually Mr.'s right-hand man, so it's not surprising that the company would be given to him."As Mr. Smith talked, the more he talked, the more he felt something was wrong and asked me, "Leila, where have you been all this time? So many things have happened at home all of a sudden, and you haven't come back. All the servants were dismissed. At first, some servants objected, but after Lyle gave everyone a share of the money, everyone stopped saying anything. The whole house was empty, and Lyle had disappeared. But he ordered a group of people to guard the door every day.
The next day, Mr. Smith went to work, Xavier stayed at home and continued to spy on the other side, and I left for my home office alone.Xavier said he would help me last night, but he was busy spying on others today, so he couldn't get away.I put on my mask and hat and went to the office.According to Mr. Smith, the shareholders of the company should have a problem with Lyle taking over the company. One of the biggest problems is Director Green, who is both a shareholder and a director.Director Green has more seniority; I remember he has been in the company since I was very young. He was probably one of the oldest people who worked with my dad to grow the company.He was not very good-tempered, competitive, and cautious. When I went to the company as a child while waiting for my father while doing homework, I often saw him in conflict with others. But he was a strong worker, so although he was not well liked, he remained in the chair for many years.It was both expected and justifi
"What's the secret?"I guessed this was the breakthrough and hurriedly pursued the question, yet Director Green began to fall silent."Say..."I was anxious, but Director Green's gaze was evasive. He made several attempts to speak and then tried to speak again.I persuaded him, "Director Green, you should know that we are on the same side now. We both have a common enemy, and that's Lyle, and whatever you have to say, you can say it to me. We have the same goal.""Actually..."Director Green opened his mouth, and I expected him to continue, but he started and then swallowed his words.I continued, "Director Green, I heard that you have a big conflict with General Manager Lee. Did he defect to Lyle and get promoted? A guy as mean as General Manager Lee, how dare he be so rude to you..."I haven't had a sip of water since I woke up, and I've said so many things to persuade him, but he never had the intention to open his mouth.I frowned a little impatiently, and suddenly, a white light
Xavier slept with me anyway.I turned on my side with my back to him, and his hand naturally came around in a semi-circle, pressing my back against his chest.I couldn't have been more comfortable in this position. With a leaning back and protection in front of me, I felt at ease. Last night I fell asleep with such peace of mind, not having a single messy dream, and slept until dawn.I don't know what happened, but Xavier was holding me naturally last night, and now he's stiff as a robot, and his hands are still hanging in the air, not even close to me.With my eyes closed, I squinted for a while and finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't your hands tired?I heard a subtle gagging sound from behind me, and then I heard Xavier say, "I'm afraid I'm going to crush your stomach."I thought, "Why wasn't he afraid of pressing against my stomach last night? Suddenly I remembered that I had just told him that I had a hard time being pregnant."Then I'll tu
Stalking General Manager Lee?Director Green said before that General Manager Lee helped Lyle to do something illegal, so...Now that Lyle is in Sin Pcak, a lot of things must be handled by the Blue Moon Pack people. It seems that tracking General Manager Lee is a good idea.But, who should be followed?I can't show up myself. General Manager Lee is not a careless guy like Director Green, who worked under my dad's company for so many years without knowing me, but General Manager Lee is smart, he knows all my family.I can't go, so what if I ask Xavier to follow up?I thought about his mysterious mission, and I thought he was busy doing something important, and I couldn't let my personal grudges delay his mission.Then it would have to be...I had a flash of light and turned to dial the phone number of the guards who had returned to Blue Moon Pack with me.Romeo had sent those men for the purpose of spying on me. They wouldn't listen to me
I waited for Xavier to say more, but who knew that he wasn't going to continue after half a sentence."You're not going to go on, are you?" I looked at him grumblingly."Say what?" He lifted his eyelashes and looked at me with a face full of justification, as if everything had nothing to do with me.How can it be none of my business? Does he think I can still stay out of it now?"What do you mean by 'used to be, not now', say it more clearly."He lowered his eyelashes, and when he raised them again, he snatched the shower out of my hand with a speed I couldn't see and turned his back on me.His voice came along with the sound of the water running."Leila, you just focus on your own business. When you need help, call me. As for other things, you should not get involved."He turned around and I saw that his back was covered with scars. The old scars were from the debris that had cut him when the Sin Pack exploded. The new scars, from a knife cut
I didn' t even dare to look up. In the afterglow I saw Xavier' s mother smiling. She smiled with her eyes curved into a line and a few thin lines squinting at the end of them, which gave her the gentle look of an older person."Hello, it' s nice to meet you."She finished to me and looked up to Xavier, "When did you come back to Blue Moon Pack? Why didn' t you tell me?"Her voice wasn' t very delicate, but it felt gentle.Xavier said indifferently to his long-lost mother, "I came back some time ago, for business."Xavier' s mother looked at me and said, "And this is...""I...""My friend." Xavier' s words started slower than mine, but finished faster than mine.Well, there are too many things between Xavier and me to say, and it would be too much trouble to explain, so I might as well solve everything with a friend."Yes, we are friends." I added in my mind, "Friends who have slept together.Xavier' s mom smiled at me and said, "Then let' s talk inside, go to my office, don' t stand a
