Chapter 604 – The Employees’ Envy
*****Outside the office...Xavier stood rooted in place, staring dazedly at the office door that had just been shut in his face. The smooth surface mocked him with its silence, and for a brief moment, he felt like he was someone who had just been abandoned by his tour guide in a foreign land.“This…” he muttered, baffled. “What was that about?”His brows furrowed as he tried to process what had just happened. One moment, she had been all flustered, and the next… bam! Door in his face.Xavier rubbed the back of his neck, still confused.But before he could indulge further in speculation, the door clicked again… and then swung open.Grace stepped out.And… Xavier froze.The woman before him looked nothing like the Grace from moments ago.Gone were the visible signs of fatigue… the pallor, the tired eyes, the unkempt strands of hair. In their place was a radiant, composed goddess.Her makeup was subtle but flawless, her hair brushed neatly to one side, and her skin seemed to
Chapter 603 – Was I… Under a Spell Just Now?
*****Grace instantly raised a hand upon hearing Xavier, as if warding him off. “I can’t afford to leave the company right now. Maybe later… after work hours.”Xavier wasn’t fazed. He had already expected the workaholic Grace to reject his suggestion.He stepped forward and pointed directly at Dorothy. “If you won’t think of yourself, then at least consider your poor secretary. She looks like she might pass out any minute from now.”“Eh?!” Dorothy squeaked, caught completely off guard.She turned to Grace, flustered. “Boss, don’t listen to him. I’m perfectly fine! See? Strong as steel!”But Grace had already taken a closer look, and what she saw made her chest tighten with guilt. Dorothy’s eyes were rimmed with fatigue, her skin paler than usual, and her posture sluggish.She hadn’t even noticed. Not until now.Grace frowned, letting out a slow sigh.“Even I might faint if I keep going without eating,” she admitted quietly, rubbing her temple.Then she turned to Xavier and g
Chapter 602 – The Misunderstanding Settled
*****Grace hadn’t meant to say the words she just did aloud, no. It had just slipped… an involuntary confession, as if her heart had spoken before her brain could silence it.The way Xavier tilted his head slightly, his confusion giving him an almost adorable quality, made her heart squeeze.And she hated it.She shook her head hard, trying to bury that sudden impulse to pinch his cheeks.“Before you left the day before yesterday,” she said cautiously, her voice more composed now.Xavier blinked again, murmuring under his breath, “Before I left the day before yesterday?”Then realization dawned in his eyes.“Oh… You mean when you suddenly froze me out for no reason and suddenly treated me like a stranger, emotionlessly and expressionlessly rejecting my offer to help?” he asked with a slow nod of understanding.Grace’s mouth opened to respond, but before she could speak…“Wasn’t that you getting mad at me for no reason?” Xavier inqui
Chapter 601 – A Misunderstanding
*****At this moment, Xavier’s entire appearance was radiating elegance, power, and a dangerously magnetic allure.His features had just sharpened, but they had also refined into something that would’ve made any model envious.His posture oozed quiet authority, the kind that made people instinctively step aside. Even his aura… careless yet confident, made it difficult to breathe around him.It was too much for her system to handle.And it clearly wasn’t just her.Xavier, for his part, had braced himself for some shock. Sure, his transformation was extreme… but even he hadn’t anticipated the level of astonishment, gasps, and paralysis he’d received throughout the day.From the chauffeur at Oceanview Estate, to the soldiers at the security gate, to Sky Group’s receptionist, to the people at the reception area, to Sky Group’s employees who had nearly dropped their coffee when they saw him…And even now… Grace.Her gaze hadn’t left him since
Chapter 600 – Grace’s Stupefaction
*****Dorothy couldn’t believe this person currently standing before her was the same arrogant man she used to despise, and that same person she had deemed unworthy of her boss.He had completely transformed into something unrecognizable… an Adonis, an aristocrat, a man who could crush entire rooms with a glance.Her thoughts scrambled, and she felt as though she was dreaming.Was this real? Had he undergone some secret operation? Or perhaps this was a prank… an impersonator?But those eyes.That smirk.That arrogant, damned voice.She would recognize them anywhere. Even in her nightmare.Her knees nearly buckled.Shock. Disbelief. Awe. Humiliation. They all exploded within her at once, paralyzing her in place.The same Xavier she’d badmouthed, judged, and scoffed at… was now standing in front of her looking like a royal deity descended from a divine bloodline.'How?! How?!'This thought continued pounding through her mind when suddenly…“Dorothy, did someone barge in?”
Chapter 599 – Dorothy’s Stupefaction
*****Dorothy stood motionless at this moment, looking as if she had become rooted to the marble floor of the executive corridor. Her mouth was slightly agape, her breathing uneven, and her eyes stretched wide in disbelief.The man in front of her didn’t look real.No… he looked like someone who had just stepped straight out of an anime fantasy, with features too symmetrical, too impossibly refined.His sculpted jawline, the effortless tousle of his ink-black hair, and the radiant clarity of his complexion… it was all too ethereal. He looked less like a human and more like a living painting.And her heart, traitorous and rebellious, gave a flutter.Never in her life had she encountered someone this disarmingly charming and attractive. Not even among the top heirs and polished young elites she’d seen trailing after Grace like lovesick puppiesYet…“Your wife?” Dorothy blinked, her brows knitting. Her voice dripped with skepticism. “Did you lose your way, Mister? This isn’t a mo
