Harry said he was just about to get off work and could come over right away. He told Isabella to try to bring Xavier’s fever down in the meantime.

After Isabella hung up, she hesitated for a moment. In the end, she took off Xavier’s jacket and shoes and put a thin black silk pajama top on him.

She did her best not to look, but she still caught a glimpse of his toned, muscular build. The lines of his body were sharply defined, almost like they were meant to tempt her.

Isabella tried to pull her hand away, but it got pinned under his leg.

Her face flushed. The moment she tried to pull free, she felt the bed dip, and a searing heat wrapped around her wrist.

“What… are you doing?”

Isabella looked up to see Xavier suddenly propping himself up on his side, one hand pressed to his forehead. He was gripping the hand she’d placed on his sensitive area, and when he spoke, bice was low and strained.

She didn’t know what had happened between them. The sounds from inside hadn’t been very loud… And now, Isabella had come out on her own.

“You seem pretty unhappy that I left the room?”

Isabella gave Emma a cold look.

“Of course not…” Emma looked uncomfortable. “Please don’t be upset with me, Mrs. Moore. I was just following Mr. Moore’s orders. I’m just an employee.”

Isabella gave a dry laugh and didn’t feel like engaging with her anymore.

“Besides, Mr. Moore doesn’t usually get that angry. Unless you did something really out of line. I honestly don’t understand–you have a husband like Mr. Moore, and all you ever talk about is divorce. What more could you want…”

Emma’s voice was low, as if she were muttering to herself, though it came across as a clear jab at Isabella.

Isabella stopped walking.

“Do you know how to make something for a hangover?”

She turned and smiled at Emma.

Emma immediately caught on. “No. But if you want to show some care for Mr. Moore, the ingredients are all there. You’re welcome to make it yourself.”

Isabella’s smile faded. She stepped in front of her. “Xavier hired you to take care of me. You work for me, yet you’re telling me to do it myself? Do you want me to settle your pay tomorrow?”

“Mr. Moore never said-”

“Emma, you can leave now.”

Before Emma could finish, Xavier’s voice came from behind her.

Emma flinched. She turned to look at Xavier, her voice trembling so much it almost sounded like she was about to cry. “Mr. Moore, I didn’t mean to go against Mrs. Moore’s wishes. It’s just that I’m really not good at making hangover soup…”

“There are plenty of tutorials online. And you’ve worked as a housekeeper for a long time. If you don’t have basic skills like this, hiring you isn’t exactly a good deal.”

Isabella cut her off without thinking.

She glanced quickly at Xavier. He had changed into his pajamas. His face still had a flushed. feverish look, but he seemed mostly sober now.
