Chapter 15
"Xavier, are you in there?" Harriet's voice sounded again, and this time it was obviously closer.
She was in the men's room.
Arya lowered her head and her voice. "I don't want to cause trouble. Close the door when you go out."
Xavier smiled. "Scared?"
Arya smiled bitterly. "Your girl is too difficult to deal with. I almost got killed once. I don't want that
again."
"She's different. She's kind," Xavier said lightly.
'Harriet is kind?'
'Is there something wrong with his eyes?'
Arya pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything. She knew if there was no evidence, no one would
believe her, so she would wait for him to find that out.
Harriet was pretending to be kind, so it was a matter of time before she was exposed.
There was no need for her to argue with him at this time.
Xavier wanted to leave, but he withdrew his steps and leaned over to ask her. "What's your name?"
His breath spread all over her ears, making her feel itchy and numb.
Arya stepped back and whispered, "Arya."
She didn't say her last name. She was afraid that Xavier would doubt.
"Xavier, where are you?" Harriet asked with great worry.
Xavier glanced at Arya and went out. He did not forget to close the door.
"Where did you go? I couldn't find you." Harriet grabbed Xavier's arm, looking from the corner of her
eye into the door that Xavier had deliberately closed.
"Nothing. Let's go." Xavier took Harriet's shoulder and walked out with her in his arms.
Harriet looked up at Xavier's flushed face and forgot about the closed door. Instead, she said, "I want to
go home."
"OK."
Xavier walked toward the door of the clubhouse with his arm around her.
Harriet buried her head in Xavier's chest. "What about Boss Lee? He wants to take over the
advertisements of the Jones Group this year."
Xavier's face darkened, and his look grew colder under the flickering flight.
'This man had drugged him and he still wants to win the deal?'
At this moment, Boss Lee also came out. Seeing that Xavier was about to leave, he quickly caught up
with him.
"Mr. Jones, can you give the deal to our company for my sincerity?"
Xavier stopped with a smile on his face, but the smile was cold and unfriendly. "Don't worry. I'll think
about it."
Boss Lee was stunned and felt his angry tone.
He kept thinking about it, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong that had offended Xavier.
"Xavier, just give him the deal, OK? It is not easy for him to run business." Harriet did Boss Lee a favor.
Her behavior also made Xavier feel that she was kind and pure.
Xavier raised a light smile but did not agree. Instead, he held Harriet and left.
If Harriet hadn't been pestering him today, he wouldn't have been here at all.
There was no way for him to negotiate such a deal.
Xavier asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Did he come to you?"
Harriet knew very well what Xavier meant.
She said like a spoiled child, "He begged me. I thought it's not easy for him..."
Harriet knew that she couldn't hide it, so she might as well tell him. But the key was how she told this to
him.
Her answer was filled with kindness. She sounded like she couldn't bear to refuse other people's This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
requests.
"Naughty." Xavier seemed to be stern, but his words were full of indulgence.
Harriet knew that he was not angry.
Sitting in the car, Harriet observed Xavier's emotions all the time.
He didn't look like he had been drugged.
'Was that a fake drug? Or was it not enough?' There were many guesses in her heart, but she could
not sound him out.
She was not stupid, and nor was Xavier.
As long as she showed a hint of doubt, Xavier would definitely find out.
If she didn't get it right, she would be in trouble.
She leaned her head against Xavier's shoulder and narrowed her eyes, "I'm sleepy."
Xavier glanced sideways at her.
He patted her on the shoulder, "Take a nap."
In fact, Harriet was pretending. She desperately hoped Xavier would do something, kissing her or even
making love with her.
However, Xavier didn't get it. Or he was pretending as well.
The car stopped at the mansion, but Harriet was still asleep leaning against Xavier.
After a moment of hesitation, Xavier carried her out of the car.
The maid opened the door. Seeing Xavier, she immediately respectfully invited him in.
Richard and Estella were in the living room and the atmosphere was not that harmonious. Richard
brought up Arya, so Estella was unhappy.
"She was released from prison, but she didn't come home. Maybe it is because she was ashamed.
She's an adult. You don't have to worry about her."
Estella's look was cold. She had a son. Her daughter had been with Xavier. What was she afraid of?
Her status in the Harrison Family was no lower than Richard's.
But Arya was his daughter. Richard was a little worried about her and missed her.
No parent would hurt his child. He was not so crazy as to ignore the life of his child.
At that time, there was no other way. If Arya didn't go to prison, Marshal would. He had only one son.
He would definitely not let him go to jail.
Estella snorted coldly. "Your son has a bright future, and so does your daughter. What's the point of
thinking about that woman with a tainted reputation..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Xavier carrying Harriet back...
