...What the hell? That order was directed to Fiona?!
Fiona herself had gone pale from surprise and confusion. With that, she asked in an aggrieved tone, “…But… Why, Brother Zivon…?”
“There are still plenty of people looking for hot news to write about. If they find you here with us, it’ll surely leave you with a bad name,” explained Zivon in a faint voice.
…So that was it! He simply didn’t want her to be referred to as a third party! With this new understanding, Fiona beamed with joy as she replied, “I knew you’d never mistreat me, Brother Zivon! Regardless, I’ll be taking my leave first, then. Let’s meet again another day.”
Following that, Fiona grabbed her satchel bag and swayed it as she headed for the door, making sure to glace triumphantly at Xavia before finally leaving the room…
Though Fiona was now gone, Xavia couldn’t help but remain silent. After all, she had honestly assumed that Zivon had told her to stay out of kindness. Just when she thought that he was finally treating her like a regular human being, it turned out that he had actually been doing all this just to save Fiona’s reputation! The entire situation was honestly laughable…
Regardless, Zayne himself was currently frowning. After all, the way things were currently going was rather strange. If Zivon had been worried about Fiona’s reputation, then why didn’t he send her off before Xavia came over? Did he send her off… because of Xavia…? Putting two and two together, Zayne quickly realized just how much Zivon actually cared about Xavia.
Whatever the case was, the atmosphere remained quiet for quite a while… until eventually, Zayne decided to break the awkward silence by saying, “…Either way, let’s continue coming up with ways to help Chace…”
Grunting in response, Zivon simply replied, “Any ideas?”
“…If I had any, I would’ve already said them earlier… Actually, hold on. Miss Lockhart, I believe Bianca Jourdain’s personality is similar to yours. I wonder if you could contribute some ideas…” asked Zayne as he turned to look at Xavia.
