Lily knelt, picked up the broken ceramic spoon shards, and glanced at the dining room entrance through her
peripheral vision
It was empty, and Xavier was nowhere in sight. Could it be that her guilty conscience had led her to hallucinate?
She threw the broken spoon shards into a trash bin before leaving the kitchen and walking around. Through that,
she confirmed nobody was outside, and Xavier wasn't there either. Only then did she sigh in relief and return to
her work in the kitchen.
A red light flickered on the surveillance camera in the living room's upper right corner. Any footage captured by
the camera would play out live on Xavier's computer. Since Lily stood a distance away, Xavier couldn't hear the
nof the organization she joined. However, he hadn't seen her smile like that in a long time. That was why he
unconsciously spoke through the speaker earlier. He wanted to know what made her so happy.
Yet, he immediately realized he shouldn't have done so.
Xavier told himself that he shouldn't give all his attention to Lily. Although she had returned, she didn't seem like
her old self. So, he wanted to observe if she would be as obedient as before.
As expected, she dutifully remained at hand prepared a meal. It seemed she had also pretended to be upset
last night.
With that in mind, Xavier decided to cut her sslack and let her sudden change in emotions these past two

A soft shuffle sounded behind him as Sarah, who wore a white robe, exited the private lounge attached to his
office. "Xavier, could you chouse-hunting withif you're free this weekend?"
Xavier removed his gold-rimmed glasses to massage his brows. "I own a few houses. You can live in whichever
one suits your fancy."
Sarah stood at the end of the desk, her slightly unfurling bathrobe revealing her smooth skin. She slightly leaned
forward but pretended to be unaware of her actions. "It's already inappropriate that I've been living in your
office, though. Are you sure | can stay in one of your houses?"
"Why wouldn't it be fine?" Xavier raised a brow a tinge of indifference flickering in his eyes.
Upon hearing that, Sarah straightened her body and flashed him a smile. "Alright, then. I'll have food delivered
for dinner. You should have sfood before leaving."

Xavier's slender finger held his chin. As for his gaze, It didn't linger on Sarah's body for long."

about her younger sister, Xyla Lynde. Sarah added, "I would've cooked you a meal in person, but there's no way

will be on me."
She used Xyla and several things as excuses to convince Xavier to stay, which worked.
After a brief silence, Xavier texted Lily, saying he would work overttonight. Once he sent it, he put away his
phone and told Xyla, "Let's get sfood delivered to the office.
Sarah then ordered a few dishes based on Xavier's preferences.
The food soon arrived, and a bountiful feast sat on Xavier's desk.
While eating, Xavier would chat and laugh with Sarah. He even occasionally placed sof the food onto her
plate.
