Chapter 308


    Underneath the Twin Towers, Isabe was having a tough conversation with the receptionist for the


    umpteenth time without sess. She stomped her foot in frustration, “I’m an artist with Starlight Medial


    Why can’t I go upstairs?


    Sorry, Ms. Taylor, only individuals with a Twin Towers employee pass are allowed to enter the building.”


    “Then why did Xanthea get to go in just now?”


    The receptionist remained silent, offering no response to her query.


    The CEO’s assistant had instructed that if Ms. Nightshade came looking for the CEO, she could take


    the express elevator straight to the 66th floor.


    “Is Mr. Lockwood avable?”


    can’t disclose that information.


    ion. If you need to see the CEO


    I to see the CEO, you should contact Cedric for an appointment.”


    Pleage, can’t you make an exception? I really have an urgent matter.”


    Isabe had secretly followed Xanthea to the Twin Towers, her heart heavy as she watched Xanthea


    looking utterly devastated in tears, as if pushed to the brink of despair. She feared Xanthea might do


    something drastic.


    Now, being blocked in the lobby, her phone drenched and unusable from the rain, she couldn’t reach


    anyone. What should she do?


    As she anxiously wondered what to do, she noticed a phone on the reception desk,


    “May I use the phone, please?”


    “Sure.”


    Her fingers trembled as she dialed the number she hadmitted to heart years ago.


    “Hello?”


    A few secondster, a crisp and clear voice came from the other end of the line Isabe heard it and


    her voice trembled with nervousness, “Hello, Mr. Nightshade, it’s Isabe…..”


    “Boom!”


    A p of thunder apanied by a fierce sh of lightning, suddenly illuminated the spacious office


    through the floor-to–ceiling windows, revealing the man’s contorted yet handsome face on the sofa.


    His jet–ck brows were damp with sweat, beads of which trickled down from the


    oers traces–and slid slowly down his chiseled face, vanishing into his pure ck silk shirt.


    of his eyes–marked with deep red


    Outside, the storm raged on and the deafening sound of thunder seemed tost forever so long that


    night had fallen and dark clouds covered the entire city.


    “Knock, knock, knock.”

    A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door, followed by Cedric’s voice, “Sit Mr. Samuel Nightshade


    is here. Ms. Nightshade.”


    Mr. Samuel Nightshade?


    That was Samuel?!


    Xanthea snapped out of her dazed and confused state, frantically patting the man.


    “Orion, Ori, don’t. Samuel’s here!”


    “Samuel’s here.”


    Her attempts to break free were futile against his firm grip.


    He says he’s looking for


    Orion opened his blood–red eyes and bit down on her soft, smooth neck, holding her like a wolf with a


    whimpering fax in its jaws. His gaze was fierce and predatory, “Samuel?”


    “Yes, Cedric’s knocking outside. He mighte in any moment now. Let me go, or we’ll be caught!”


    Her fear of being discovered made him even more relentless; his dark pupils became ominously


    intense, “Are you afraid your family will find out about us? How about I just hold you like this when we


    meet Samuel?”


    Xanthea was shocked, her jaw nearly dropped,


    What nonsense was he spouting? Had he lost his mind?


    Or was he Jealous?

    After all, Matthew had always visited the Nightshade family home as he pleased, while she kept Orion


    hidden away. He must be thinking along those lines, this ridiculously jealous man!
