CHAPTER 55

Cily rushed down from the cab that she'd taken home and rushed to the gate, only to stop at the sound of a taxi door coming shut. 

It was Poppy, and before she could hurry up to her or even call her name, the taxi drove off. She just stood there, staring in confusion. 

What in the world happened? 

She quickly made her way into the mansion and beelined for the second floor, her hands balling by her side as she approached Xavian's room. She didn't bother knocking, just opened the door to find Xavian seated at his loveseat, legs crossed and a cold glass of alcohol in his grip. 

He looked at her, but didn't say a word, which did more to fuel her annoyance. Cily stormed towards heim and snatched the glass from him, dropping it on the table. 

"What is going on with you?" 

Xavian stared at her and began rubbing his temple with a sigh. He was tired. "Cily, please leave me alone. My head hurts, and I'm tired."
