Chapter 571
Everyone around her fell silent.
It wasn’t until another secretary seated next to her asked, ” Daisy, do you feel unwell?” did Daisy snap back to attention with a shake of her head. “No, I’m fine.”
As the work day was almost coming to an end, her phone rang, and she saw an incoming text from Xavier.
“Dinner?”
Daisy was slightly annoyed, but upon recalling how Xavier had helped her, she decided to reply anyway.
“Sure. Come over and pick me up.”
She had just clicked on “Send” when the sound of familiar footsteps could be heard coming from the other end of the corridor.
Xavier walked toward her and waved the phone in his hand. “Turns out that it was a good idea for me to come in advance. At least you have enough of a heart to agree to a meal with me.”
Daisy was slightly taken aback at his appearance. “Why are you here?”
Xavier took over her bag. “Since it’s a date, of course, I have to prepare in advance.”
A serial sweet-talker, a man like him, would naturally avoid telling Daisy that he was actually here because of Weston.
His spy in the company informed him that a representative from a distributor who had never appeared before came looking for Weston.
This made him curious, and he naturally wouldn’t give up the chance to snoop around.
He was just about to begin investigating the distributor when he saw Weston carrying Guinevere out. He decided against creating more trouble for Weston, and instead came over to look for Daisy.
Daisy took his word for it that he had specially come looking for her, and she felt touched amidst her mixed feelings.” Don’t do this again. It’s better that we meet outside of the office. It’ll be hard to explain things if Mr. Ford sees us…”
“What’s so hard to explain?”
