“Then let me see what Rosa gave you.”
“…Dear, there’s really no need to focus that much on the past-”
“That’s what I wanted to believe too, but with how hard you’re trying to hide it, it’s impossible for me to remain calm,” interrupted Xavia.
Feeling helpless, all Zivon could do was get his phone out… and once Nathan answered his call, he was prompted to say, “Return with everything I handed you.”
“…Huh? But I’m already in the midst of getting rid of them-”
“Don’t make me repeat myself,” growled Zivon, leaving both Xavia and Nathan speechless…
It was about five minutes later when Xavia was greeted by the sight of a pile of ashes on the table… and after pursing her lips, Xavia said, “…Is this some kind of joke?”
Zivon himself was already rubbing his temples as he growled, “…What the hell happened here…?!”
“…E-everything was already nearly burnt to a crisp by the time you called, so even though I managed to put the fire out, there wasn’t much to be saved…”
Feeling increasingly irked, Xavia replied, “…So, they were so bad that you had to destroy the evidence as quickly as possible, huh…?!”
“You know that that’s not the case, Xav. Stop overthinking-”
“How could I not overthink when you’ve destroyed the evidence so quickly?!”
“…I… Just didn’t want you to misunderstand…”
“If so, I guess I’ll just get Ian’s help to restore it, then-”
“Wait! Fine, I’ll do my best to restore it!” interrupted the defeated Zivon with a sigh…
Fast forward to about an hour later, Xavia could be seen sitting before a laptop, the restored video playing in front of her…
It showed Zivon holding some documents, and shortly after, Rosa entered the scene with a fruit platter in hand…
“Hey, I’m right beside you, you know…?”
Zivon didn’t even look up, and this prompted Rosa to pout, “…I knew it! Your documents are way more important than I am, right?! Humph!”
