Xavier was tired of wasting his time on them, so he said to Yvette, “Let’s go.”
She nodded. “Alright.” Then, they left with Noah.
Zayden smiled and muttered to himself, “What’s with the pretense? Does he still think he’s the CEO of Lane Group? How ridiculous!”
They had no idea about the storm they were about to face.
While Xavier and the rest were heading back, Yvette thanked him sincerely. “Thank you for protecting Noah.”
“He’s my son, so there’s no way I’m not protecting him. You don’t have to thank me for it.” He still sounded cold.
She had a feeling that he would explode at any moment and didn’t dare to say another word. Then, Xavier spoke again, “Why were you so sure that Noah wouldn’t trick Malcolm into the maze?”
“Why would he know how to do that?” she asked. Yvette had always treated Noah as a harmless rabbit.
Xavier stayed quiet for a moment and didn’t show her the rest of the surveillance footage. In the second half of the video, Noah hadn’t been in a rush to leave after he’d tricked Malcolm into the maze. Instead, he’d stood nearby and yawned while happily listening to Malcolm yell for help.
He didn’t look as silly and adorable as he usually did at all.
Soon, they arrived at Dewberry Manor again. When Xavier was about to head to work, Noah secretly found him. “Mr. Xavier…”
He was certain that Xavier knew the truth and was afraid the latter would tell Yvette about it. It would ruin the good impression she had of Noah.
“What’s up?”
“Did you tell my mom anything?” He paid attention to Xavier’s expression and wanted to guess what happened based on it.
However, Xavier just looked cold as usual. “Are you afraid?” he asked.
Noah became cautious. “If you don’t tell my mom anything, I’ll do anything you want me to do. I don’t want her to know I’m a bad kid.”
“You’re not a bad kid for defending
yourself when someone else is
bullying you. That’s just
self-defense. You can come to the company with me in the future and
learn a thing or two,” Xavier said slowly.
Noah was worried Xavier wouldn’t understand him at first. After hearing what Xavier had said, Noah suddenly thought he felt like a great person. “Alright. I understand now.” “However, if you don’t want me to tell Yvette about it, address me differently in the future.” After Xavier was done threatening Noah, he got in the car.
As Noah watched the car disappear from his sight, his impression of Xavier worsened again. He hated Xavier for threatening him with that.
Meanwhile, Aaron had arrived at the company and was waiting in the waiting room. There was a group of women outside looking at him with passionate gazes.
He was already used to it and sat there comfortably, drinking his third cup of coffee.
“Why isn’t he here yet?” Aaron had been waiting for an hour.
Joel thought it was weird as well and urged the employee to hurry up. However, they were told to wait again. Since there was negative news about Aaron online, they had no choice but to wait there.
Mark told Xavier about everything that had happened. The latter asked, “How does he look in person?”
“Like any other man.” Mark was worried he would get angry and lied.
“You should talk to him.”
“Yes, sir.”
Mark went downstairs and arrived at the waiting room. First, he passed Aaron a contract. “Sign this first. Then, we can start talking about our partnership.” Aaron glanced through the contract and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Then, he put in his signature.
After Mark say that he had signed
the agreement, he passed Aaron his
first commercial job. “This is our company’s new product, and we need a commercial for it. This will be your first job, so make sure you do it properly.”
That was Aaron’s first time receiving a commercial job so quickly. When he looked at the details, he froze on the spot.
