Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1695

Zavier replied curtly, "I'm tied up."

The seasoned butler's expression was grave as he spoke, "Miss Skyler's waitressing gig at the café has come to the attention of Mr. Hudson. If we don't nip this in the bud, the consequences could be dire."

A chill swept over Zavier's features. "Who told you Skyler's been moonlighting at a café?"

The butler hesitated, "Mr. Hudson just received some photographs. As for who sent them, he didn't say, so I'm in the dark there."b2

Zavier hung up the call and shot a frosty glare at the man opposite him, "You've grown bold, haven't you? Betraying me to my face?"

The man responded, "Zavier, I'm doing this for your own good, and for Skyler's. If I don't intervene now, the whole affair of Skyler working outside could be twisted and eventually reach Mr. Hudson, and then both of you could be in a world of trouble."

Zavier understood all too well, but he didn't believe there was anything shameful about Skyler holding down a job, "Skyler..."

Before he could finish, Skyler approached quickly, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Zavier commanded, "Get out of that uniform and come back to Rivera's Manor with me."

Skyler was puzzled, "To Rivera's Manor right now? What happened?"

Zavier revealed the issue at hand, "Hudson knows about your café job."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Skyler quickly changed clothes, excused herself to her supervisor, and left with Zavier.

Seated in the Rivera family's car, Skyler was restless. Sensing her discomfort, Zavier reassured her, "You were working a decent job, and there's nothing to worry about."

Skyler was less optimistic, "Since the Rivera family hasn't disclosed my identity publicly and there are no photos of me online, I thought my part-time job wouldn't tarnish the Rivera name..."

Zavier cut her off, "Spare me the explanation."

Skyler bit her lower lip anxiously, drawing blood, but she kept biting.

Zavier tugged at her gently, "Silence is even less helpful."
