Geoffrey was at his desk looking through sdocuments. As he flipped through the files, he was talking over the phone with a sweet smile on his face. Not even a single word on the document registered in his mind. His entire mind was occupied by the voice over the phone.
"We should enjoy scouple time. Which country do you want to travel to? "Syd, don't be so impatient. Calm down. I just want to spend couple twith you outside, hang out at a place where no one knows us for a few days. If you don't want that, I'll handpick the location. "Syd, be good. Don't curse.

I'm rather busy as of late. I'm just calling to remind you." "Darling, why are you cursing again? Don't curse me. You're cursingso much, it's makingsad." In contrast to what he said, he was feeling gleeful through and through.
"Step aside!" An angry voice sounded from outside the door.
"I'm sorry, but you really can't enter. Chairman Carter is busy right now." "Do you know who I am? If you refuse to letthrough, I can bring your chairman down any moment!" Geoffrey furrowed his brows, and said over the phone, "Darling, goodbye for now. I have something to attend to." With that, he hung up.
Geoffrey pressed a button on his receiver and said, "Let her in." Very soon, the door was opened and Xyla stormed in.
Geoffrey's brows knit tighter. He had expected Xyla's surprise visit.
He instructed his secretary, "Pour us scoffee." "Yes, sir." The secretary was about to leave when Xyla said, "No need for that. I'll leave after a few words with your chairman. I don't want to stay in this damned place for long." The secretary stood there, feeling awkward. Geoffrey sent the secretary away with a wave of his hand. The secretary nodded before leaving, shutting the door behind her.
Geoffrey remained in his seat, with no intention whatsoever of getting up.
Xyla approached him. "Chairman Carter, you really know how to put on airs. It was so difficult finding you. You refuse to pick up my calls and reply to my messages. I even had to book an appointment before I could see you." This man probably forgot how he becrich. Yet now, he was biting the hand that fed him, making it so tough for her to see him.

with other women, but no tto answer my calls to talk about our daughter? Geoffrey Carter, at least make up a classier excuse. Such a shoddy excuse will only expose your ugly side even more." Geoffrey sat silent for a while before standing up. He straightened out his suit and walked toward Xyla, his tall figure towering over her.
"Don't you already know the kind of
man I am? You wanted to marry me, I didn't force you to. What's more h didn't fool around with Syd over the years. I've done as much I could for yout." en
"Geoffrey Carter, I didn't chere to rake up the past with you. I'm here to talk about Voxinie. You know very well what you did to her," Xyla hissed.
