My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 198

"No, nothing! I wasn't thinking anything!"

Xanthea quickly cut him off, recalling the foul words she had just hurled and wishing she could just hang up the phone and crawl into a hole. But she had embarrassed herself enough already, and borrowing the ranch was now more essential than ever.

"Okay, not just for one night, I could do ten, a hundred nights, as long as you let me borrow the ranch!"

"Really?" Orion's pupils tightened, taking her exclamation seriously.

"Why would I lie? So, will you lend it to me or not?"

"Alright."

"What time does your ranch open then? What time does it close? You know, the crew might need to work overtime."

Orion responded, "It's always open for you, Xan."

"Fantastic!" Xanthea jumped up with joy at his words, "Orion, thank you. You're the best."

In the hallway, a female employee clutching a stack of documents passed by the railings where Orion was on the phone. The smile spreading across his face was almost enough to drown someone in its warmth, causing her to nearly drop her papers.

My goodness! The CEO actually smiling? And he looked so handsome when he smiled; it was absolutely breathtaking!

He seemed so absorbed; could he be in love?

That was terrifying! She managed to link the icy workaholic with something as dreamy and wonderful as romance!

"Orion agreed!"

Xanthea hung up the phone and ran over excitedly. Upon hearing her words, Kevin couldn't stop grinning, "Really? That's great. Xan, thank you so much for it! By the way, how much are we talking about for the rent?"

"50 thousand?"

"That's amazing; you definitely pulled some strings there! Xan, I owe you one."
