“…Now without further ado, please leave for now…”
…Did he really have to misunderstand her that badly? Pursing her lips, Xavia replied, “…Mr. Miller, it isn’t like that… Look, I- You know what? Forget it, I’ll explain things to him myself.”
Before Nathan could stop her, she had already pushed the office doors open… and the second she did, Zivon—who was still seated at his desk—looked up with a frown. It took him a while, but he eventually asked, “…Forget something?”
Instantly walking up to him, Xavia then held him by his arms as she explained, “No, but please, hear me out. The photograph you saw is a misunderstanding. I only took Charlie there to meet Sophia. Though he seems like Yulia’s father, it’s all an act! Sophia paid him to play the role, you see. Either way, the picture is actually Charlie forcefully pinning me against the wall when he realized that I wasn’t into him…”
“Following that, I kicked him away… and it was around then when Sophia arrived at the private room. I talked to them for about ten minutes before leaving the café and heading over to Jenna’s place… and finally, I headed to your apartment. I swear nothing happened between us…” concluded Xavia as she raised her right arm, almost as though she was making a vow…
Naturally, Zivon was left speechless after hearing all that. Was… this truly just another of Sophia’s schemes? So she wasn’t in a relationship with Charlie? Looking at her neck, he frowned slightly as he asked, “…That hickey… Did he forcefully leave it there?”
…That was made by one of Jenna’s men…! Unwilling to reveal that disgusting fact, all the helpless woman could do was nod. While it was true that Charlie deserved what was coming for him… well, it was also his misfortune for participating in all this, especially since it involved Zivon…
Speaking of Zivon, his icy aura was already flaring up, and after shooting a death glare at Nathan, he was prompted to growl, “Was that the extent of your investigation…?! Regardless, go deal with that man… And if you don’t do a good job, don’t ever come back…!”
