My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 490

The office fell into an awkward silence, the instigator Leonard adjusted his clothes, cleared his throat, and then turned and ran.

“Xan,” he thought to himself, “that's your husband. I'm outta here, cover for me!"

"Hey! Leonard."

"Xannie, what are you doing here?"

"Boss, I just saw Mr. Marlowe and Mrs. Lockwood."

Cedric was about to expose Xanthea and Leonard for eavesdropping outside, but Xanthea cut him off.

She pushed Orion away, her slender, beautiful fingers pressed against his chest, taking the offensive, "You have the nerve to ask me why I'm here? If I hadn't come, how would I have discovered you, a married man, flirting with some siren out here?!"

Orion's gaze faltered, confusion knitting between his pretty brows.

"Siren?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Aren't you the siren?"

"Stop playing dumb. I'm talking about that woman who ran off super fast! I heard her whole love confession to you!"

"Confession?"

The confusion in Orion's eyes deepened.

"Still pretending!"

"I have no idea. I was on a call."

Orion picked up a tiny Bluetooth earpiece from the desk. Xanthea was stunned at that, "On a call? But I didn't hear you talking?"

"I can vouch for that!" Beside them, Cedric quietly raised his phone.
