Feeling increasingly nervous as she looked into his angry eyes, the anxious Xavia attempted to explain, “…It was Bianca’s idea… For context, I first contacted Jenna and only headed over when she said that there were no problems with it. Before heading over, I even went to your office first, hoping to get you to follow me there. Unfortunately, you weren’t in… All in all, I wasn’t trying to hide this from you or anything…”
The more carefully she tried to explain it, the guiltier she felt about her relationship with Zivon.
Regardless, Keith simply adjusted his glasses as he replied, “Contact him less from now on. Just come to me if you have any other problems.”
“…Alright…” replied Xavia with a slight frown as she watched Keith re-enter his room… How odd… Why was she being so cautious just to explain herself…?
Whatever the case was, she then took a deep breath before returning to her own room to continue looking through the information that Bianca had compiled. Since it was impossible to gain access to Zivon’s house, she had to start looking for other alternatives…
An alternative… The thought of that made her recall Zivon saying, ‘You came to me only to obtain something other men can’t give you. Who do you think I am?’
Though that statement made her gloomy, he was right. It wasn’t ethically right for her to only look for him when nobody else could help. In the end, she knew she just hadn’t completely moved on from him yet…
Her train of thought was cut short when her message notification played on her phone. Picking it up, she realized that it was from Maison.
‘Do you know what happened to Daddy today, Aunt…? He’s been acting really distant tonight, and he hasn’t said a word to me… I’m worried…’
…He hadn’t even said a word to Maison…? Was it because of the house…? After a brief pause, Xavia replied with the message, ‘Be a good boy and don’t think too much about it… For now, just head to bed and avoid messing with him…’
Moving back to Xavia, she exited the bathroom about half an hour later. Upon checking on her phone, she realized that he hadn’t replied. Had he not read the message? Or was he just ignoring her…?
Though Xavia hadn’t actually expected him to reply, she was still worried that the angered man would frighten Maison. Still, there wasn’t much else she could do, so after a while, she laid down to get some rest.
Just as she was about to fall into her slumber, however, her message notification rang. This, of course, instantly jolted Xavia awake. Was it Zivon?
Grabbing her phone, she quickly realized that it really was Zivon…
