Chapter 188: Random Visit
Xavier I could barely concentrate after Oscar’s visit and I was grateful Eliot wasn’t around for the day. If he was, I would have gotten an earful of warnings due to my absent mindedness. Immediately, there was a knock on the door. I muttered a soft come in completely uninterested in who the visitor was. I waited until I saw the well ironed brown trousers standing in front of my desk before looking up. It was a young man I had never seen before, probably in his early or mid twenties. I sized him up while he stood there blinking his blue eyes which he hid behind a huge pair of glasses at me. “How may I help you?” I asked weakly, my voice a bit dry. “Good afternoon sir.” He greeted me with a huge smile, his voice high with enthusiasm. Perhaps he was a new hire or an intern like me, were all interns supposed to be this cheerful?I blinked at him, my face expressionless while I waited for an actual answer to my questions. He cleared his throat as the smoke faded away immediately, “T
Chapter 187: The Henchman’s Visit
Xavier I finally got to the shared office with Eliot and for some reason, I wasn’t ready to get any work done, maybe because he wasn’t there to watch me with scrutiny and literally breathe down my neck.I settled into my work station, turning on the air conditioner as I leaned into the chair. I had to get some documents ready for a meeting at 2pm and it was already 11am. I really took slack off when your boss isn’t around personally by coming to work so late. I reluctantly turned on my laptop and began to lazily do the work. I scanned the table and found the cup of coffee that was always waiting for me whenever I came to work.I picked it up and took a sip, my face turning sour immediately because of how cold it was. I quickly put it down and rinsed my mouth with a bottle of water. That was enough to wake me up and get me into the usual work mood. I took my time to edit the documents, create tables where necessary and input important information, my hand tapping across the keyboard
Chapter 186: Rekindled
Eliana“Be safe.” I said to Victor, leaning in to kiss his lips. He nodded and after that he went his way while Pearl and I continued our walk to the house.We got back to my room, shivering to our bones, I quickly took off the coat and put on a hoodie and some socks. I stared at Pearl as she did so too, he’s hands shaking from the cold. “Don’t you ever pull a stunt like this again.” I snapped, dropping on the bed. She scoffed, settling in beside me after placing her phone on the bed side table. “I’m going to pull way worse stunts if you ever decide to keep things from me and turn into some kind of shadow of yourself.” She spat, her voice a little shaky. I pursed my lips trying to hide my smile. I was lucky to have Pearl, a friend that notices when you’re unhappy or have a lot on your mind. I would never have spoken about it if she didn’t force it out of me because for some reason, I thought Damian should know first but then he was always so busy.I felt way better after coming cl
Chapter 185: Ship Set Sail
ElianaI was the first to return to my room after the meeting with Xavier. Honestly, I was completely zoned out for the most part of it and didn’t have a clue about what was discussed. I took a deep breath as I dropped on the bed, the wood creaking a bit beneath my weight. Getting my memories back had turned me into a complete shadow of myself and I couldn’t even talk to anyone about it because all attention was on Xavier’s mission and Pearl’s company. Clearly no one had time to sit and listen to me talk about memories that didn’t even matter anymore. But my nights were plagued with flashes of my family getting slaughtered and destroyed by Preston and his people. I was glad when Xavier said his company was crumbling down, not that it was enough to make up for all the damages he caused and everything he made Damian and I go through. Immediately there was a knock on the door and Pearl stormed in before I got the chance to even ask who it was. She stood in front me, her hands crossed

Chapter 184: Serena’s Brilliance
Xavier I got home really late that day mostly because I intentionally spent time driving around the city because I didn’t want to see Damian or anyone and have to tell them what had transpired between Eliot and I.When I walked through the front doors I realized I didn’t fool anyone but myself and that I wasted the time I would have used to catch some sleep and get started on the sponsorship task. Everyone was seated in the living room, when I say everyone. I mean everyone including Mila, Eliana and even Serena, their expressions unreadable as all eyes turned to me.“Did someone die?” I asked with a smile trying to lighten the tension in the air but the disapproval on Victor’s face was enough to wipe the smirk off of mine.“Why are you coming home at almost midnight?” Damian fumed, the question reminding me of my father immediately.I took a deep breath and settled in a the space beside Victor on the couch. “I had to work late.” I muttered barely looking at anyone. “Don’t give me t
