Unbeknownst to Xavia, Sophia was together with Zivon at the time… and upon hearing the woman’s yells, Sophia couldn’t help but frown as she muttered, “…What is she doing in the villa?”
Retaining a poker face, Zivon replied in an icy tone, “She misbehaved, and she had this coming. Regardless, if you aren’t fine with her being here, I can just take her to another condo. Bear in mind, however, that that’ll be a bit difficult for me.”
The fact that his words suggested that this wasn’t the first time he was doing such a thing made Sophia clench her fists. So she still managed to come here in the end…?! Sophia wasn’t about to let her off that easily then!
After ensuring that she had a calm façade on, Sophia took a deep breath before saying, “…I believe you’ll abide by the contract, so just keep her here. That aside, I’ll be heading in to check on her.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll just bring her downstairs with me,” replied Zivon as he began ascending the stairs, instantly prompting Sophia’s gaze to lower. Was he worried that she’d harm Xavia when they were alone…?
Either way, the second the door creaked open, Xavia was prompted to look up… and when she saw Zivon, she was quick to exclaim, “Y-Young Master Burton! I have a job, you know?! That aside, I’m sure Yulia’s waiting for me, so please let me head home now! I should remind you that not only are you being unlawful by imprisoning me here, but you’re also making me hate you!”
“Bianca told me that she’d be busy editing videos in the next two days, so no filming is going to be done anyway. That aside, Yulia told me to tell you that she’d be fine on her own, and that you should stay here without worrying about her,” replied Zivon, instantly causing Xavia to go speechless. Had he even coaxed her daughter?!
As Xavia wondered how to even refute, Zivon looked into her eyes… before eventually adding, “…You know there’s a surveillance camera in here, right?”
“…So what if there is? It’s not like I attempted to steal anything from you… That aside, you being upset and refusing to listen to my explanations is one thing, but keeping me captive and under surveillance? Do you think I’m a pet or something…?!” retorted Xavia.
