...She had said that, but just as he had earlier said, that was just a misunderstanding… Bah, forget it! Since he didn’t want to do it now, she wasn’t going to force him to…
The awkward silence was finally broken when a phone began ringing… It was Zivon’s. Raising a brow, he took a look at who was calling… and the second he saw the caller id, he sighed before rejecting the call.
Confused by his reaction, Xavia asked, “…Who was that?”
“It was Whitney. I already told her not to contact me, so I’m not sure why she’s still trying to do so. Speaking of, on the day you got drunk, she came to my office in the morning and said that she had bumped into you in the mall. She said that you had declared that I had knelt at your feet to the public. Though I couldn’t care less, she ended up fainting. That’s why I was at the hospital with Nathan back then.”
“Regardless, the doctor told us that cancer patients were prone to passing out, and since she didn’t have any relatives, I was pretty much forced to stay till she woke up. She only awoke moments before you called…”
…Whitney had said all that bullshit about her? Feeling helpless, she was prompted to reply, “…I hadn’t declared it or anything… I had only said it to her face… She was bragging about the card you gave her back then, and that pissed me off so I…”
…Actually, now that she thought about it, it was quite stupid for her to have been fighting with a cancer patient…! Zivon, however, didn’t seem to catch her awkwardness, and he simply said, “Anyway, I’m recalling the card, and I swear that I won’t pay for any other women from now on.”
…He was going to do what now? Before Xavia could say a word, Zivon added, “You should know that I only gave her money since it was the only way I could compensate her. It’s completely different when I give money to you. After some thought, however, I guess that your drunk self was right. I should only earn for my wife, there’s that. As your future husband, I shouldn’t have stuck my nose into her business, and I’ll keep it that way.”
