Cily rushed in through the door, a panicked look on her face. The dinner meeting had gone far, and she'd had to resort to booking one of Xavian's hotels to stay in.
She'd returned a bit too drunk from the meeting and obviously fell asleep immediately, which was the reason she ended up not seeing the countless missed calls from Poppy.
Had something gone wrong? Did something happen to her brother?
She hurried her way upstairs using the elevator and made her way to Xavian's room. "Xav—" She pushed the door open, her words cut off immediately. "Oh…my…"
On the bed, Xavian stayed curled and spooned by Poppy, her fingers dug into his loose hair. He had his arms around her, and suddenly she wondered what exactly the emergency could have been.
A smile made it to her lips, and she turned around, lifting her hand to fan herself.
