Chapter 54
X’s heart wrenched painfully, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Back then, Georgie’s little brother had studied at Country Y with them. Although they went to
different schools, they would spend their weekends together. He was a cheerful and sensible child.
X had always thought of him as her own little brother. A few days earlier, he had even sent her a
message through WeChat, reminding her to take care of her health.
How could such a bright existence be gone, just like that?
Tears instantly started to fall from X’s eyes. “Okay, I’ll give you a month off. Where are you? I’ll
come to you.”
“There are many things at thepany that need your attention, so you don’t have toe. I will
burn a few more joss sticks for my brother on your behalf.” As she spoke, Georgie’s voice
eventually dissolved into whimpers.
“Where exactly are you?” asked X again.
“President X, now’s not the time for you to be capricious. Listen to me… okay?”
“Enough with the nonsense. Tell me where you are.”
“I''m at home.”
With that, X immediately hung up, packed some luggage, and hastily left the house.

At two in the afternoon, X and Georgie arrived at Sunlight City, thetter’s hometown. It was a
small town in the southern region.
Georgie’s little brother’s wakested for three days, and X kept Georgiepany the whole
time. On thest night of the funeral, X apanied Georgie on a walk around the small town.
After that quick breather, they two girls returned to Georgie’s room with heavy hearts. Once inside,
Georgie opened her luggage and started moving the clothes from her closet into the bag.

X hurried over and grabbed her hand, asking, “What are you doing?”
“I’m packing up and going back with you tomorrow. After thinking about it, I can’t leave you to
handle thepany on your own for so long after all. Forget one month, even a week won’t do. You
have to take care of both X Entertainment and Imperial Prime now, so I can’t be dragging you
down.”
Having said that, Georgie peeled X’s hand away as she continued packing while holding back
her tears.
X felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She gently held Georgie in her arms and said, “Uncle and
Aunty’s emotions have yet to calm down, so how can you leave? Stay and keep thempany for
a bit longer.”
Georgie gently leaned into X’s arms like a fragile child. “My elder brother and sister-inw will be
here tofort them.”
“Georgie, can you listen to me for once?”
“I can’t. You pack up too. I’ve already booked a flight for tomorrow morning at seven,” said Georgie.
She quickly took X’s luggage out of the closet as well.
X knew Georgie’s temper well. She always did things swiftly and vigorously. Once she had
decided on something, it was hard to change her mind.
X let out a helpless sigh and gently patted her on the shoulder. “Georgie, the sacrifices you’ve
made for me and thepany, I will remember them well.”
“Alright, why are you saying that? We have such a great rtionship, and you pay me such a high
sry, how is it inappropriate for me to sacrifice for thepany?” Georgie forced out a smile
before opening up X’s bag for her.
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly pulled X over to sit on the bed. “Now that my little
brother is gone, have you thought about who can pretend to be Stanley Batton at Emily’s wedding?”
Recently, Georgie had been immersed in grief and was too preupied to give this problem any
thought. Now that her mood was getting better, she started worrying again. X shook her head
helplessly. Lately, she had been busy with Georgie’s little brother’s matters as well, to the point that
she couldn’t pay attention to her own problem.
“I haven’t thought about it yet. First, that person will have to be handsome and decent like your little
brother, with some medical knowledge too. He also has to be someone I trust, otherwise, if this gets
exposed, I’ll be in trouble.”
