Chapter 61
“When did you be such a scaredy can Xander teased, a charming smile on his face.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, slightly bewildered.
“I missed you, of course! That’s why I Game.” He pressed my body back down onto the chair and
reached forward to continue his massage.
I instinctively tried to avoid his hands, but he mped me down and ordered, Don’t move.”
His tone was demanding, which was rare. As his hands worked their magic, using just the right amount
of force, I really began to feel like I was in a massage parlor. I let him continue
After a while, he retracted his hands and handed me a ss of water. “How do you feel? Do you need
to go to the hospital?
“I’m feeling better, no need for hospitals. I still gotta head back to the office for a
meeting. I clutched the ss of water in my hands and took a sip from it.
Xander was quiet. He pulled out a chair and sat in front of me. He stared intently a t me for a long while
before asking, his tone stern and firm, “Do you really love Theo Grant so much that you’re okay with
forsaking your health just for him?”
I was stunned. “T’ve always made sure that my work and my personal feelings were separated. You of
all people should know that best, right? To me, this is a job, and since I’ve been asked to do it, I’ll give it
my very best shot at it.”
Since Theo first ordered me to manage Nectarine Entertainment, I had never given the job any less
than my best just because of Cindy. I always gave it my all.
“But… my heart aches to see you like
this.”
Xander spoke very seriously. He was usually jolly and happy-go-lucky, so I was not used to him being
so serious allo f a sudden. I picked my ss tiponce more and took a sip, an attempt to dissolve the
awkwardness in the air.
Fortunately, Heidi came back in the nicko f time. “Wanda, I’m done with the site re. Other than a few
minor details that need to be changed, everything was pretty much perfect.”
I nodded in response. “Alright, let’s discuss this further once we get back.” I had a lot of confidence in
Heidi’s skills, s o if she said that some changes needed to be made, those aspects most probably
needed alteration
“Heidi, you can drive yourself back. I’ll send Director Lane back,” Xander stood u p and told Heidi.
Heidi turned to look at me.
Something was not right with Xander today. Sull, I nodded to Heidi and said, I’ll see you at the office
Xander did not say a word, not even when we got into his car.
Did you have something you wanted to say to me, seeing that you’vee all the way here today?” If
he did not want to start the conversation, I would
“As usual, you’re brilliant.” Xander
smiled and continued, “I heard that Newlight was extremely adamant about the spokesman job. The
forces backing them up were far moreplex than you thought.”
I was taken aback. I did not know what he was talking about, so I continued to listen
“It’s honestly not that big of a deal, but I’ll just let you know that if you really care so much for your Theo
Grant, you’d have to carefully consider who the Spokesperson will be. If you anger Newlight, Theo
might be their ultimate scapegoat.”
That was stunning news to me. I did not know so many forces would be involved with such a small
spokesperson role.
“Grant Corporation isn’t as morous as you think I’m sure Theo hasn’t told you that there’s a problem
with their cash flow. Not to mention that they’re about to expand towards Whaldorf City, which is exactly
where Newlight’s background forces are. I don’t need to tell you what will happen then, right?”
I was deep in thought. If Xander had told me all that a while ago, I would think he was just joking.
However, I now had different thoughts about what he had said, because I now knew was Petra White’s
son.
His sources had probably not been conjured up out of thin air.
Even though Grant Corporation was growing at a stable rate, a corporation was just like a wall-it might
look firm
and imprable, but once its foundation was slightly rattled, there was a chance of it crashing down.
Why not get another spokesman? I’m totally okay with that. I only brought this up to help you out, that’s
all. And because you’re my Wandy.” Xander smirked once again.
I did not reply to him as I was carefully weighing my options because I knew he might be right.
There was another voice in my heart that whispered to me to believe in Theo, believe that he would be
capable enough t o handle everything.

Xander left after dropping me off at the office building
When I got back to my office, I was surprised to find Mason sitting there and waiting for me.
