The guy next to him was taking a sip of water and ended up spraying it out.
Zachary was laughing so hard that molars were exposed. Their boss, Xavier, living off a woman?
That was laughable!
Of course, Xavier had no idea he was the topic of his staff’s chit-chat. He felt a strange heaviness, probably due to the fact that he was about to return to the Hanson family soon.
He walked through the kitchen and headed towards the backyard. When he entered, he saw a girl in overalls by the tap, filling a water jug. She was half-crouching, with a big cat laying at her feet, allowing her to pet it.
A branch of a rose happened to lean over. With her delicate and lively profile, the whole backyard suddenly burst to life.
Xavier's heart skipped a beat. Didn't Damian say she had left?
He paused for a moment, and then stepped into the yard, casually asking, "Why did you come over on such a important festival?”
Norah turned her head at the sound of his voice, her eyes twinkling mischievously, she chirped, "I missed you!"
Xavier suddenly looked up, furrowing his brow unconsciously and saying, "Norah, if you keep this up, I'll call Jonathan right away!"
Norah raised an eyebrow, muttering under her breath, "I'm in my thirties, I can date anyone without my parents' permission?"
Xavier was so frustrated that his forehead veins throbbed, "Date? I will tell Jonathan to stop you coming here. He didn’t want you to come here in the first place!"
Norah stood up and walked over to him, "Alright, don't be mad, I was just kidding!"
Her doe-like eyes stared at him, and her voice carried a hint of coyness, making Xavier's heart ache. He kept silent without uttering a word.
"I came all the way see you on this holiday, and you're giving me a cold shoulder!" Norah said, looking at him innocently.
Xavier took a deep breath without showing any emotion, "You better go home now!"
