Xanthe glanced around, not in a hurry. She sat across from Sean and said, “Let’s go over this and resolve the misunderstandings between us. That’s the best way to solve the problem, right, Mr. Reynolds?” 

Sean didn’t argue, staying silent and waiting for Xanthe to continue. Xanthe tapped her finger on the table. “We first miet at the classroom door. At that time, you asked me why Shakira washit in class. Do you know Shakira?” 

Xanthe was impatient and impulsive, the kind of person who couldn’t hide her feelings. She had no idea that her transparent thoughts were all too visible to Sean. 

He chuckled, casually saying to her. “So, how do you think your dad got handed the Southville Project?” 

Hearing this, Xanthe was completely stunned, her mind racing. Enrique had told her that winning the bid wasn’t just because of Shakira’s encouragement but also because of Sean, the main sponsor. That was why he obediently followed Sean’s every word. 

But now, why was Sean suddenly asking this question? Could it be. Xanthe cautiously voiced the impossible possibility. “Is it 

because of Shakira?” 

Sean curved his lips into a smirk. “You’re not as clueless as you look.” 

Xanthe gasped and covered her mouth in shock. 

Oh my God. She had never thought Shakira would be linked with Sean; she was still rooting for the Shakira and Mr. Lopez couple. 

Inside, Xanthe’s emotions were already swirling like a tornado. Sean, elegantly crossing his legs, suddenly had an idea seeing her stunned, naive–looking expression. “I could consider forgiving the silly things you’ve done, but you’ll need to do something for me. 

Xanthe immediately looked at him warily. “You tell me first.” 

Jeez, what’s with that look? Do you think I’d set you up?” Sean shrugged. “It’s simple, you’re classmates with Shakira. Just look after her at school. 

Upon hearing this, Xanthe broke into a smile. “Do you really need to say that? Shakira’s my friend. Even without you asking I’ve got her back.” 

Sean continued in a calm manner, “There’s one more thing. You need to tell me who she spends the most time with at school, especially the guys 

This time Xanthe couldn’t stay calm. Oh wow, this flashy fox had shown his true colors. So this was what he was after. Was he trying to pursue Shakira? But judging by the way things look, he didn’t seem to know that Shakira and Mr. Lopez were all lovey–dovey. 

Sean waited for a long time but didn’t get any response from Xanthe, thinking she might be scheping something secretly. He had looked into Xanthe before, who used to be with Yvette when they bullied Shakira, Now that she had changed sides to cozy up with Shakira, Sean thought she was probably not reliable 

If he weren’t so busy with business and if there was no one around Shakira to relieve boredom, Sean would definitely be the first to oppose Shakira hanging out with such a fickle person. 

Thinking about this, Sean’s expression turned cold, carrying a hint of defiance. “What? Can’t handle such a small task and sull expect me to forgive you? 

Xanthe scoffed. I won’t do something as shady as betraying a friend.”

“Oh, young, still loyal?” Sean couldn’t believe Xanthe was that loyal. He went straight to the point. “Since you won’t agree, forget it. Your dad dropping out of the Southville project wouldn’t make much of a difference.” 

Bang, Xanthe slammed the table, glaring angrily at Sean. Her hands clutched the tablecloth tightly, and if she’d been a bit more reckless, she’d definitely have gone for Sean’s neck. 

“Sean, are you even a man? I’ve only offended you twice, and are you going to be so unreasonable, huh?” 

Sean looked completely unfazed, with a smirk that 

med to say, “What can you do about it?” Anyway, I’ve made my 

demands. If you agree, we can work together like nothing ever happened. But if you don’t…” He left the sentence unfinished, 

but the threat was obvious. 

Xanthe’s eyes were practically shooting daggers, Shakira really must have had the worst luck to catch the eye of such a petty. vengeful jerk. No way, as a good friend, she had to help her get rid of this loser. 

She thought for a moment and her anger slowly faded. She sat back down, glaring at Sean’s annoyingly flawless face. With a heavy sigh, she said. “Fine. I agree, but let me be clear. I won’t tell you anything personal”
