Xander looked at me and pointed to his cheek. I gave him my standard professional smile, confused. My wolf muttered to me, “WHAT DID THAT MEAN? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIS CHEEK

Seeing my confusion, he beckoned me closer. I approached cautiously.

He suddenly stood up from his chair, his tall figure blocking all the light, his presence filling the air. A long, slender hand landed on my cheek.

His fingertips brushed against my skin, sending a shiver down my spine, as if I’d been shocked, goosebumps rose from my cheek to my neck. Thanks to a werewolf’s heightened sense of smell, I could clearly detect his scent. Fresh, elegant, priceless—just like him.

“You…” I stared at him in terror, stepping back.

‘You have something on your face.”

Xander’s voice was low and gentle, showing me his finger; there was a bit of brown coffee powder on his fingertip.

I was speechless…

My lips formed a straight line.“Thank you, but next time you can just tell me.”

Xander sat back down.“I told you; you’re just too slow.”

Me:…

Pointing to his face is considered a reminder? My wolf was quite disatisfied, “WHY DON’T YOU REMIND YOUR FATHER AND THEN CALL HIM AN OLD FOOL!”

I stormed out of Mr. Shaw’s office, and when I washed my face in the restroom, I discovered my face was as red as if I’d drunk several bottles of wine. My wolf laughed, “YOUR FACE IS BLUSHED.” I was panicked, instinctively making excuses for myself. Xander was so petty! It was just one wrong message, and he thought he’d been teased. Does he need to retaliate so many times before he’s satisfied!

For the 10:30 meeting, I only took notes. Zane handled everything from notifying the departments to preparing materials for upper management. He considered that it was my first day, and the 10:30 meeting was imminent, and I wasn’t familiar with the meeting content yet, so he let me make coffee. He was well–intentioned.

At noon, there was a business lunch. A real estate tycoon had invited us. Kingston had been involved in real estate for many years, and they had jointly developed a resort project. The project was signed before Xander took office. This person’s father was an old friend of his father, so he was like an uncle to him. Therefore, when he scheduled a meeting, Xander readily agreed. It had originally been scheduled for a few days ago, but Xander’s injury postponed it.

Xander took Zane and me to the restaurant. Entering the private room, there was not only Gabriel Fox and his Kingston’s Vice President, David, and… Jason and Zane Cooper!

secretary,

but also

Aha. So Gabriel was here to mediate.

Xander sat down with an indifferent demeanor. I felt nervous seeing Jason, afraid he’d go crazy again.

Jason stared intently at me, as if trying to bore a hole through me. Was I being so unconcerned about appearances, showing up like this with Xander?

The others in the room also cast subtle glances at me. I knew what they were thinking. But Xander had taught me: a clear conscience fears no accusations. Let them think what they want. And I couldn’t embarrass Xander.

Zane and I sat down. Before we came, Zane told me that Gabriel always liked to ply people with alcohol, and we would have to help Xander avoid drinking too much.
