“Now, please don’t overthink this, I just don’t want the prince to collapse from exhaustion, alright? Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be clocking out now for my date,” replied Tiffany as she turned to leave.
Watching as the model of a woman walked off in her high heels, Ian couldn’t help but raise a slight brow. If she already had a boyfriend, then why was she presenting herself like she was still single? Shaking his head, the annoyed man replied, “…Not so fast. There’s more work to be done.”
“…Come again? But-”
“What, you can’t work overtime now?” interrupted Ian, causing Tiffany to purse her lips before hesitantly following Ian back to his study…
Watching as she began organizing the documents in his room, Ian couldn’t help but feel his thoughts start to drift. Just what was wrong with him today? Actually, this had already happened before the last time she brought up her boyfriend… This irked feeling…
In the end, he remained distracted for so long that after dinner, Xavia couldn’t help but approach him and ask, “…Um… Are you upset that Von and I reconciled that quickly…?”
“…What? What nonsense are you even spouting? I’m happy you two are back together, though… Be sure to always keep that man in check from now on too, alright?”
Pursing her lips, Xavia replied, “…Honestly, he had every right to behave that way back then, so I can’t exactly blame him that much…”
“…What? Are you afraid that he’ll misunderstand? Weren’t you rooting for him just moments ago? Seems to me like you don’t actually believe that he’s changed yet… That aside, I’m choosing you specifically since the bellringer should be the one to untie the bell. Also, if you’re worried about Stella, don’t worry. I’ve kept a note of all the terrible things that she’s done, and I’ll be sure to teach her a lesson.”
“Finally, in getting you to do this, I’ll have a chance to see if Zivon has actually changed for the better… But if you don’t even trust him yet, then…”
“I-I trust in him! I’ll go!” replied Xavia who really didn’t like how Ian was dissing on her man. With that, she took the present and headed off, hoping that things would end differently this time…
