    Guinevere smiled bitterly then. “There’s a sunk-cost facy when ites to love… So, the longer


    you’re in love, the harder it is to let go.”


    Then, as if remembering it just then, she turned toward Xavier. “That’s the same for Zeta. She loved


    you for years too, and she never gave up, even though you’re pretty much infamous these days.”


    Xavier was taken aback that she would mention Zeta, and frowned even as he growled, “Why would


    you talk about her for no reason?”


    And with that, he turned to leave, with Guinevere watching him from behind.


    Believing that he was getting grumpy over Zeta again, she shook her head but kept her silence as she


    followed him.


    Meanwhile, a bored Ste was reading her script in Weston’s office.


    It turns out that his meeting proved to be an extensive one, and Ben had toe in a few times to


    reassure her, eventually telling her that the meeting was going tost another hour.

    She tried to ask to leave, but Ben would refuse her on each asion, insisting that Weston had


    insisted that she stay before he went home with her.


    Naturally, Ste simply could not understand what had gotten into Weston-was he a child, insisting on


    leaving work with her?


    Ben returned to work after they spoke, though there was a slightmotion outside soon enough.


    Ste got to her feet, believing that it would be Weston, only to find an unexpected face: Xavier Ford.


    Why was he here? Nheless, Xavier did not spot her inside Weston’s office, and instead headed


    straight to the secretaries’ offices. It seems that he had recently taken a liking to Daisy-especially her


    aloofness toward others-which was just like Weston, not to mention she had turned down his attempts


    to invite her out on dates.


    In fact, the joy of the hunt had already taken his mind away from his unpleasant mood and Zeta, even


    as he moved to stand in front of Daisy.


    “Long time no see,” he said in cheesy French, and when he saw that she was staring fixedly at her


    laptop, he grinned and quickly found himself a seat.


    “Working, huh? Let me have a look…” He scanned the table on the screen, narrowing his eyes as he


    did. “Oh, I think there’s a little error over here…” Daisy would always ignore him no matter how he tried


    to talk to her before, and any response would just be a gesture of courtesy.


    This time, however, she frowned immediately and started searching the spot Xavier pointed out,


    eximing, “No way!” Xavier could not help chuckling at how naive she was, and Daisy shot him an


    annoyed re in return, realizing that she had been tricked. Taking a deep breath to calm herself just


    then, she then said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Xavier Ford, but would you mind going to the conference room to


    wait for Mr. Ford?” “I didn’te here for him-I came here for you,” he said, resting his chin under his


    hands as he stared flirtatiously at her. Daisy remained unmoved, however, and simply left to look for


    Ben. “Mr. Sullivan…” Even Ben appeared to be put on the spot after Daisy told him about Xavier’s


    antics. “Alright, you don’t have to team up on me, I was just going to talk to you a little,” Xavier


    eximed, not interested in flirting anymore when he saw how upset Daisy was with him. He loved


    women who put up a challenge, but Daisy was utterly resistant, making him lose interest or attraction


    toward her in general. Getting up on his feet, he walked up to Ben and asked, “Wait, if Weston is


    having a meeting, shouldn’t you be staying with him to take minutes?” Daisy began, “Mr. Sullivan has


    something more important to do…” However, Ben wheeled on her so quickly right then that she


    realized in irritation that she had misspoken.
