Chapter 570
“Huh?”
Xavier pointed at her outfit Olivia suddenly realized that she had not changed her clothes and nodded. “Yeah, I just came back from dinner. You got here at the right time.”
“With who?”
“A client.”
“Client? A guy, or a girl?”
Olivia felt uneasy upon being questioned, and she looked at him. “Xavier, I can’t talk about my clients too much.”
A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He looked at her outfit and said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t be asking this much. It’s just that…”
“What is it?”
“You look like you saw a man, a man you care about.”
After saying that, Xavier forced a smile. “I’m a little jealous, sorry.”
Seeing how honest he was, Olivia was taken aback and had no idea what to say.

Xavier bent down and took the bags. “Do you want to have some apples? I’ll peel them for you.”

Xavier was dumbfounded, but he chuckled. “Okay. Give me a minute.”
Olivia felt distressed seeing him like this.

“Xavier…”
“Pheebs, I’m not a scoundrel or anything. I told you that I wanted to save you and that I don’t need any repayment.”
Xavier looked up at her. “And I know that you will not reject anything I do because I saved your life and you want to compensate me. But Pheebs, I don’t want that.”
She was slightly shocked as she looked at him.
She had been assuming that he was a shameless person!
She did not expect him to be so considerate and decent.
“Xavier, you misunderstood me. I should repay you for saving my life. It’s basic decency, and you did…” didn’t ever cross the line… And even if you
Before she could finish her words, he grabbed her hand and said, “Pheebs, can we begin as friends?”
