Chapter 1027

After a long, awkward silence, Dolly forced a chuckle before nudging Bianca’s arm while saying, “…H-hey…! Things can occasionally go wrong… T-that aside, since you two didn’t date last night, I’m sure he won’t see Sophia again tonight…” “D-Dolly’s right! Remember, Sophia’s the one who made the matchmaking app, so it makes sense that Lady Burton would pay more attention to the issue! With that said, relax and um… L-let’s get back to work! We still have a video to make!” added Bianca. Smiling wryly, Xavia then muttered, “…Yeah…! There’s nothing to worry about… Regardless, I’m fine now… Thanks…” Following that, Xavia headed off to get a change of clothes… however, it didn’t take long before Xavia heard a familiar meow. Realizing that Loveu had followed her in, Xavia picked the kitten up while saying, “Hmm? What’re you meowing about? Are you worried that your master’s deserted you after not seeing him for a few days?” Upon hearing that, Loveu meowed again, prompting Xavia to add, “Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll visit you once he’s done with work. That aside, you still have me, alright?” Watching as Xavia then put the cat down again, Bianca and Dolly couldn’t help but exchange glances. Was Loveu or Xavia the one that had been deserted…? Whatever the case was, the day then went on as busily as usual… and once Xavia was off work, she realized that Zivon hadn’t texted her at all throughout the day. Since that was the case, she figured that she didn’t have to go out of her way to please him either. With that in mind, Xavia switched her phone off before heading to the hospital… Once she got there, she spent some time helping Yulia with her rehabilitation. By this point, Yulia was already able to run and jump. Because of that, once the rehabilitation session was over, the doctor was prompted to say, “Yulia’s been making a swift recovery. Because of that, she can be discharged tomorrow. However, she has to return in two weeks for a check-up.” Pleased to hear that, Xavia exclaimed, “I-I see! Thank you, doctor…!” As Xavia quickly began going through the discharge procedures, Zayne happened to run into her, prompting him to ask, “Are the discharge procedures going smoothly, Miss Lockhart?” Though Zayne had initially thought that Jenna was a better fit for Zivon, now that she was with Keith, the second-best choice for his brother was naturally Xavia. Regardless, Xavia simply nodded happily as she replied, “They are. Speaking of which, thank you for all your help, Dr. Xenos! If you’re free tomorrow evening, why don’t you join us for dinner?” Back in Xavia’s hometown, it was a tradition to throw small dinner parties after a successful recovery at the hospital. Such parties weren’t just to celebrate the patient’s return, but they were also held to express gratitude to those who had visited and helped with the recovery. It explained why Xavia felt it was only natural to invite Zayne. Either way, Zayne then enthusiastically nodded before saying, “For sure!” Following that, he turned to look at the staff member as he added, “Also, she’s my friend, so there’s no need to be so formal.” “Got it, Dr. Xenos,” replied the staff member, prompting Zayne to leave. Watching as Zayne walked off, Xavia couldn’t help but feel grateful deep down. After all, between Zayne and Chace—who were Zivon’s best friends—, Zayne was by far the easier going one… Just thinking about Chace sent shivers down her spine… Regardless, once the procedures were settled, Xavia couldn’t help but wonder whether she should text Zivon… After all, he hadn’t contacted her up till this point. However, wouldn’t it be weird if she took the initiative to talk to him…? Still, Yulia seemed extremely keen to meet Maison again… With that in mind, Xavia ultimately gave in and sent Zivon a message, stating, ‘Yulia’s free to leave the hospital tomorrow, so I plan to celebrate by having a barbecue and some hotpot in the yard… Even if you’re too busy to join us, could you bring Maison along…?’ Shortly after, Zivon—who had been working in his office on the ninety-ninth floor—received the message… and after giving it a read, he couldn’t help but glare at his phone. After all, Xavia hadn’t bothered to ask why he had left before she woke up. Hell, she hadn’t even texted him up till this point! That aside, from the way she had phrased it, it almost seemed that she had only texted him to ensure that Maison could turn up! His presence didn’t even matter! Now immensely irked, Zivon simply slammed his phone back onto the table! Following that, he resumed work, completely ignoring her message… and it continued that way until he heard a knock on the door sometime later. “Enter,” said the prestigious Zivon without even bothering to look up. Shortly after, the door creaked open… before a familiar voice replied, “Still working at this hour? That aside, you seem colder than usual… It makes me wonder who could’ve pissed President Burton off…?” Hearing that, Zivon then looked up…
