Anxi silently laid on her bed once the sun had totally disappeared and left the night clouds to embrace the sky, staring at the ceiling and finding it difficult to accept what that lady had told her.

Just when she thought maybe she could get a peaceful sleep tonight and put two to two together, that annoying lady ruins it for her with such unexpected revelation!!

She didn't say anything to Xandria after meeting her in the car and through out the entire ride.

She had constantly told Xandria it was nothing serious but her expression gave away the sadness starting to creep in, she didn't want to talk about it and her heart felt heavy.

Thankfully Xandria had to go to the bar for something important and quickly dropped her at her place.

Was Xander really the masked stranger at the hotel??

She sighed, turning to the other side of her bed while drowning in her thoughts and hugging her pillow in between her chest, if he was then that means he knew all along that he was the same person she was supposed to please at the hotel.

He knew it was her all along.

Yet, he said nothing and even took her in as his secretary, he acted like everything was fine despite knowing everything wasn't completely okay.

She didn't recognize him due to the mask he had put on that day but still, she should have known, he called her little bunny when she still took care of him but she was dumb enough to not have clicked it.

She wasn't upset about the fact he was the same person, besides he let her go even after knowing she was the one..... no not her, the previous Anxi wanted to trick him that night.

What she was upset about was the fact he didn't tell her, if he had probably done something then she could have seen a much better reason but they did nothing, he even gave her his jacket and offered her a ride so she could go back home safely.

If he had forced her that night, then she would have hated him to the core but he didn't, despite knowing right now, she doesn't feel any little bit of hatred for him, just.... Upset because he didn't tell her anything about it.

Her mind was back to being a muffled mess and she found it difficult to get any sleep. What was it about Xander that always seemed to affect her this much??

"What do I do now?" She was back to feeling insecure as she gave a downcast expression, how could she be so sure that he's not going after her just so he could complete what she didn't let him and then drop her like a complete pile of nothing???

Xander was occupied while working on his laptop in his room, he had an important document to set up and Andrey had done really well on financing everything, he's just too good.

Anxi didn't show up at work and used her grandmother as bait to hide from him, he found it fascinating cause a girl he likes was hiding away from him.

As much as he didn't fancy the idea, at least he was able to concentrate more on his work today.

His phone suddenly beeped at his study table, he didn't glance at the caller and just answered the phone, keeping his gaze locked on the laptop while his left hand continued typing important infos.

"Xander speaking."

"What a lovely evening lord Xander."

He suddenly stopped typing the moment that feminine voice sounded too familiar and a slight frown appeared on his majestic face.

He hates that voice!

"Wow, out of all the people I expected to call but never once thought it'd be you."

"Oh Xander, guess what I did today?" The feminine voice spoke with so much mischief that Xander could easily sense trouble.

The air around him went solid almost like Xander himself had persuaded the air to go still, the caller equally felt the danger despite being so distant from him.

"Spill."

"You know that sweet secretary of yours.."

"Did you do something to her?!" He nearly snapped at the mention of Anxi, this woman was dangerous herself and Xander knew that too well to keep Anxi far away from her.

"Lord Xander, I'm not that heartless." She feigned innocence and chuckled maliciously. "I only told her about what happened at the hotel, revealing who the mystery man was….I mean, she had the right to know, didn't she?"

At that moment, Xander's expression had turned pale a bit like he just received the most shocking news of his life, she did what??

"Sh*t!" He pinched in between his eyebrows as the conniving woman ruined his plan of ever having Anxi, this woman!

"You refused to seal your silly mouth I see, what is your gain in this?"

"I know what she did to me, that mark is still on my face and I'm not letting her get away with it!!!" She raged through the phone which Xander showed 0% concern of.

"You better get this straight." He warned, "hurt Anxi and face my wrath, you wouldn't dare to mess with me so better adhere to it."

He ended the call and got to his feet, that means Damian was actually right when he told him to inform Anxi about what happened that night and he had been stupid enough not to listen.

He didn't want to remind Anxi about it because he felt it'd ruin everything and she'd distance herself from him but this foolish woman had to ruin things for him.

It would have been better if he told her himself, rather than hearing it from an outsider and most especially that crazy lady!

"I really messed up." He whispered, resting his back against the wall as he anxiously brushed his hand through his hair, what will he do now?

Turns out, both of them didn't get to sleep that night.

The next day, Anxi arrived at work but that charming smile she always carried wasn't on her lips anymore as she strode past the hallway.

All eyes were on her, finding her attitude to be a bit strange but she wasn't bothered about that, she just wanted answers and she's going to get them from that young fellow himself.

She stepped into his office to find the handsome being staring at the ceiling without meeting her gaze, he wasn't dressed in his suit and was actually wearing a normal black T-shirt while the sleeves were folded up to his elbow.

He looked lost and remained oblivious to her presence not until she uttered.

"Boss, I'm here to see Xander, can you spare me a minute with him?"
