Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1232
Both Hannah and Jason glared at Xavier before zipping their mouths shut. They didn’t continue scorning him as Hannah had reprimanded them.
“It’s fine. They are just kids.” Xavier waved it off.
His answer was interpreted differently by Jason. How dare he say I’m a kid?
He’s just a few years older than me! If it weren’t for Hannah, I would’ve given him a beating!
Xavier handed her the reef clay mask again. “This is just a little gift. Please accept it, Ms. Young.”
“Uh…” Hannah was at a loss for words. What’s with the sudden gift? If I accept it, it will seem like I’m accepting his proposal. If I refuse to accept it, what will others think of me? It will be embarrassing for him, too. What should I do?
“Don’t you like my gift?” Xavier added.
What the heck? Hannah was rendered speechless. I never wanted any gift from you!
“Yeah, it’s not that great.” Right then, Fabian stepped out with a smirk on his lips.
“I’m giving Ms. Young a gift. Why are you stating your opinion, Mr. Norton? You can provide your opinion when someone gives you a gift,” retorted Xavier icily.
“Mm, you’re right. I wasn’t about to give my opinion, but your gift is too shabby. Indeed, East Ocean is famous for its reef clay mask, but I remember the effects aren’t that good. You’re wasting Hannah’s time. Besides, she has plenty of reef clay masks that I bought from the East Ocean. Why would she use a shoddy product from the South Ocean?” answered Fabian with a polite smile.
He didn’t seem to be mocking Xavier, but his voice was firm.
Xavier’s cheeks went pink at his words. Seeing how smug Fabian was, he retaliated, “The quality of the gift doesn’t matter as long as it shows my sincerity. I believe it’s better than someone who is all talk but no action.”
