Chapter 1391

"Don't say that, we're not that close." Disappointment overwhelmed Leia when she recalled the things that had

happened in the mountains, and she immediately felt irritated with Xavier.

"How cruel! We slept together, didn't we? Of course that makes US close," Xavier said teasingly, finding Leia's

behaviour cute. He slowly got closer to her and stared deeply into her eyes. "I don't mind reminding you if you

forgot how close we were."

"How... are you going to do that?" Shaken by his nearness, Leia subconsciously leaned backward.

”1 remember that my ex likes it when I kiss her against the wall. I don't mind helping you remember if you've

forgotten..." Xavier murmured seductively as he backed her into a corner, leaning over her.

’Idiot!" Blushing, Leia tried to slap him but he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, whispering softly into

her ear, "Aren't we close?"

"I..." Leia's heartbeat quickened and she bit her lip, looking away. "I don't know."

"Don't make assumptions then. We're close.” Xavier tapped her nose affectionately and let her go, smiling in

satisfaction.

Speechless, Leia gasped and clenched her fists. She was angry with Xavier, but she was angrier at herself for giving

in. He always knew how to break down her defenses, giving her no way to resist. Maybe it was because of his

confidence, but she always felt like she was at his mercy in this battle of love.

"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to say such boring things to me." After calming down, she put

some distance between them and asked coldly.

"I came to see my friend, but I think it's more important to talk to you since I've found you here." After checking his

watch, Xavier asked, "Are you free? Let's have a drink in the cafe downstairs."

"No, I'm busy," Leia said bluntly and wanted to leave, but Xavier grabbed her hand and pulled her to the elevator,

saying, "No, you're free, trust me."

"Hey! Xavier, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Furious, Leia tried to pull away, but was ultimately dragged into

the elevator with him.

"Waiter, I would like one iced Americano and one Cappuccino," Xavier called out to a waiter the instant they arrived

at the cafe. Although they had only dated briefly, he remembered all of Leia's preferences. Though he seemed

carefree and uncommitted, that wasn't the case at all.

"What is it you want to talk about? Hurry up, I have things to do." After Leia sat down, she crossed her arms and

urged him impatiently.
