Chapter 65
Xander tossed on the bed for the millionth time this morning as Hunter’s words kept replaying in his head. As much as he didn’t want to add relevance to whatever the pained man had said to hum yesterday, he could not help but be disturbed about it.
“Summer never had a family. What was he talking about?” He mumbled as ise sat up on the bed and ran his fingers through his hair. it was already getting Late in the morning and he was supposed to have been on his way to the office if not at the company already, but it didn’t feel like he was leaving anytime
His buzzing phone got his attention, and he groaned tiredly as he reached out to it and hesitated before answering the call from his secretary.
“Good morning, Sir. I called to remind you that you have an appointment this morning,” Her feminine voice sounded from the other end, and he groaned hustratingly as he ran his fingers through his hair slowly. He had forgotten about that appointment.
Cancel all my appointments for today How much he really wanted to tell her that, but this particular one was something he could not postpone or cancel, so he just nodded and exhaled deeply.
“I’ll be there shortly,” He disconnected the call and tossed the phone on the bed before leaving for the bathroom.
It took him an hour and a few minutes to get ready for work, and let his room afterwards.
“Good morning, Sir,” Nick welcomed him as soon as he stepped out of the building minutes later,
“Morning. Where is everyone?” He hastened his steps toward the parking lot while Nick trailed behind him.
“Ms. Lisa stepped outside early in the morning to workout. Phoebe already took Ella to school. I’m the only one at home, Sir,” Nick explained as he pulled the backdoor of the car opened when they arrived at the parking lot.
“Hmm,” Xander hopped inside, and alter Nick closed the door, he went to hop in the driver’s seat,
“Should I read your schedule for you before we
“Just drive,” He cut Nick off as he passed out through the window, rubbing his forehead slowly and gently. After the texts from Hunter last night, he could barely get himself to sleep as it was really disturbing, and here he was, hurrying to the office again.
“Alright, Sir,” Nick started the car and they were soon on their way to the office.
“Nick, need you to do something for me,”
“Alright, Sir. What is it?” Nick glanced at him through the rearview mirror and continued driving.
“I need a background check on Summer. I want to know what she has been doing for the past six years. It was the second time he was going to do this. First was when she just left and he desperately wanted to find her, but it wasn’t as intense as this time.
want to know specifically if she has a family now.
waside from her kids, He knew that didn’t make any sense because even he didn’t believe whatever s i t Hunter had spilled earlier, but just to be on the safer side.
“Alright, Sir, I will get to it,” Nick nodded and continued driving
‘Her Dad already found out about everything you did to her. Do you think he’ll allow things to ever work out between you two?’ He rested his head on the headrest and closed his eyes as those words replayed in his head. This was going to be even more complicated if Hunter was saying the truth, but he just had to get to know the man first if she really has a Dad now, get on the man’s good side, and convince him that he’ll treat her right this time,

Chapter 65
They finally arrived at the company, and Nick pulled over at the parking lot.
“You should work on what I asked for, Nick. You don’t have to stay with me in the office,” He patted Nick’s shoulder and walked away.
“Good morning, Sir,” His secretary rose to her feet and bowed slightly as soon as he stepped inside her office.
“Morning,” He waved at her briefly and headed into his office.
He was barely settled in the office when the telephone started to ring, and he picked it up.
Sir, someone is here to see you.” Came his secretary’s voice.
“Who is it?” Xander’s eyebrows squinted confusingly He wasn’t expecting anyone aside from the man he was having an appointment with, and it was too early for him to have come over to his office, so who could bet
“He said he is doctor Spencer and he really

“Tell him to leave” He was going to say that to his secretary, but on second thought, he changed his mind.
“Send him in,” The call dropped after the secretary replied with “alright, Sir
“Come in,” He ushered the person in when a knock came on the door, and Spencer walked inside
“Good morning Mr. Hughes. The fact that he got the audacity to smile at Kander was really crazy

Xander raised his eyebrows shockingly when Spencer suddenly went on his knees right in front of him.
“I’m sorry about everything Mr. Hughes Hease have mercy on me. Please spare we just this once” Spencer’s voice shook slightly as he spoke.

Please help me plead with her. I’m willing to do whatever I can to make up for this. Please don’t do this to me,” He looked up at Xander pleadingly
“This is not about my reputation, but the career I’ve tried to build for over fifteen years. Please don’t do this,” Spencer held his leg and pleaded desperately

Hughes…Remember
“Mr. Hughes. Remember your Mom is also in this with me. If I get blown, she will as well,” It was s t up d of Spencer to have thought it would freak him put once he mentioned that
“You should be more worried about yoursell, doctor Spencer,” Xander rested on the chair and exhaled deeply.
“I’m busy here. Why don’t you use the door? I will step in myself if you show your face to me again, and that is a promise,” He stated coldly.
Left with no choice, Spencer stood up and dragged himself out of his office.
He reached
ed for his phone which was on the table, and unlocked it. For a second, he thought of calling Lisa, but what would he possibly say to her?
“Just stay out of this, Xander. Stay out of it,” He muttered as he held his phone tightly and closed his eyes.
“Sommer” He whispered and quickly unlocked his phone again.
“Hey! Are you free tonight? Wanna hang out together” He read the text over and over again before he finally clicked on ‘send’. He dropped his phone on the desk and got back to work, not expecting a reply from her, and even if he was, his hope was very low, knowing she won’t agree to do this.
Minutes Later, his phone beeped, and he quickly picked it.
“Alright. Come pick me up at my apartment” That text from her felt like he had just won a contract worth billions.
“Yes!” He squeaked
