His statement caused Keith’s expression to momentarily sour. After all, though Zivon was a workaholic, he rarely got involved with Keith’s work. Come to think of it, hadn’t a bit too many things happened last night…?
Though Keith now suspected that Zivon was the one who gave him all that extra work, he simply replied, “…While work is important, I don’t think it’s asking too much to have two hours off to watch a movie with my girlfriend. It’s my responsibility as a boyfriend to give her at least that much of my time. That aside, worry not. The file will definitely be on your desk by tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Keith turned around to leave again.
Looking at how obediently Xavia—who had the look of a girl-next-door—followed Keith around, Zivon couldn’t help but glare even more frigidly than before. He couldn’t explain why, but he simply felt irritated by the fact that she and Keith were together.
In the end, Zivon was prompted to say, “…Hand it to me in three hours. I still have other things to deal with.”
…Three hours? Not only would he have no time for a movie, but he’d also have to rush to complete his work! This was ridiculous! Stopping in his tracks, the irked Keith then turned to look at the high and mighty Zivon again…
Still, the fact that Zivon was doing this meant that he still cared quite a bit about Xavia…
Whatever the case was, Keith then gave Xavia a few pats before saying, “…Unfortunately, Uncle Zivon needs results sooner than expected. Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you one of these days…”
“Don’t worry about it,” replied Xavia who honestly didn’t really care about the movie.
However, immediately after she said that, she glared daggers at Zivon before saying, “Even so, you should know that Young Master Burton has been working for many, many hours since yesterday night, Uncle Zivon. With that said, can’t he even get the time to watch a single movie? Don’t you find it unfair that you, the CEO, are accompanying my sister to have fun while he has to work overtime?”
“For heaven’s sake, aren’t you the eldest son, Uncle Zivon? Don’t you wish to watch your nephew enjoy his relationship and eventually get married? It’s just really cold of you to disallow him from even watching a single movie!”
