He kept scanning her from head to toe, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s…!
Sensing that he was feeling suspicious of her, Xavia quickly forced a smile as she added, “…W-why are you looking at me like that, Zivon…? You’re making me embarrassed…”
Before starting tonight’s operation, Xavia had made sure to watch hundreds of Jenna’s videos just so she could learn how she moved, spoke, and expressed herself. With that in mind, she was practically a spitting image of Jenna at the moment… And upon realizing that, Zivon’s gaze turned icy.
…For a moment there he had thought that she was Xavia… He must be losing his mind from that kiss the night before…! Just thinking of the kiss made his expression turn bitter… and in the end, he simply headed upstairs without another word…
This left Xavia momentarily speechless. His attitude toward Jenna… hadn’t seemed to improve at all?
Though the realization of that made Xavia feel slightly pleased, her train of thought was cut short when Nathan suddenly said, “…Have you forgotten that Young Master Burton vomited blood last night…? He may have treated you coldly due to the redundant question…”
Nathan used to think that Xavia would be the one to finally bring some joy into his master’s life. However, after all that she had done, he now felt that she was undeserving of Zivon’s affection. It was the reason why he now felt that Jenna would be a better fit for Zivon in the long run. At the very least, she was a loyal woman…
Regardless, Xavia’s eyes instantly widened when she heard what Nathan had said. Vomit blood? But why?!
Oblivious to Xavia’s shock, Nathan—who was now determined to set the two up—handed ‘Jenna’ some medicine as he added, “I currently have some things to attend to, so please take good care of Young Master Burton in the meantime…”
Once the medicine was in her hands, Nathan walked off… leaving Xavia frozen on the spot. She couldn’t just waltz up there! Her cover could get blown! However, the medicine…
“Are you coming up or not?” asked Zivon’s icy voice from the elevator’s direction.
Slightly taken aback by his icy voice, Xavia paused for a moment… before eventually heaving a sigh. She had no other choice but to play along…!
