After gesturing for the Burtons to remain silent, Zivon picked up and said, “Hello?”
Xavia had called since he hadn’t replied after a while, and she was worried that something had happened to him. Relieved that he answered, Xavia replied, “Oh, thank God you’re alright… I sent you some messages earlier, but I guess you’ve been busy. Long story short, Dolly’s facing some issues now, and since you’re close to Young Master Xenos, I was wondering whether you could ask him what he feels about Dolly…”
“…Is that the only reason you’re calling?” asked Zivon with a slightly raised brow.
“O-of course, not! I’m still extremely worried about you, though you sounded fine so I didn’t question it… A-anyway, Dolly’s issue is urgent, but I definitely prioritize you,” muttered Xavia.
“…I see. Well, it’s good that you thought about asking for my help, I suppose. Very well, then. I’ll help you out since you’ve been good,” replied Zivon who found her answer reasonable.
Pleased to hear that, Xavia then said, “That’s great! Love you!”
“…Actually, I’ll help after you repeat that final sentence,” replied Zivon with a grin.
Instantly blushing, Xavia grumbled, “T-this is an emergency we’re talking about, so… Call him first… I’ll repeat it once you’re done…”
She had learned the ways of negotiation, huh? Shaking his head, the smiling man then gave Zayne a call…
When the call was answered, Zayne sounded a little drunk as he said, “Hello…? Aren’t you overseas right now, Zivon…? Why’re you calling…?”
Raising a slight brow, Zivon asked, “…Have you been drinking again? That aside, what do you think of Dolly?”
Startled to hear that, Zayne eventually managed to reply, “…Since when have you been interested in things like this…?”
