Rewriting the love story after traveling into the novel novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Interrupted Lunch

Lately, Becky had been watching this short drama online. It was ridiculous and mindless, but so funny she couldn’t stop.

In the guest lounge, Xavier stood and extended his hand. “Mr. Wayne, it’s a pleasure working with you.”

Wayne shook his hand. “Likewise.”

“Ive booked a restaurant. Let’s grab lunch together.”

“Sure.”

The two stepped out of the lounge, and the executive assistants in the hallway were nearly blinded.

Too handsome.

They were about the same height, each with their own distinct charm. Just looking at them was a delight.

As they passed Xavier’s office, he turned slightly. “Mr. Wayne, I need to grab something real quick. Just a moment.”

“Go ahead.”

Xavier opened the door–and was greeted by an oddly contagious burst of laughter. A girl sat on the couch with her back to the door, watching something on her phone and laughing like crazy.

She was so engrossed, she didn’t even notice the door open.

Xavier quietly closed the door and turned to Wayne. “Mr. Wayne, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to join you for lunch. I’ll treat you properly another day.”

Wayne raised an eyebrow. “Because of the girl inside?”

“Yeah”

Wayne chuckled. “No worries. Next time, then. Your girlfriend takes priority”

Xavier hesitated, then said, “She hasn’t agreed yet.”

“Oh? Then Mr. Bolton has some work to do.”

“I know”

Xavier walked Wayne to the elevator before heading back.

Inside the elevator, Wayne couldn’t shake the strange familiarity of that girl’s silhouette.

He shook his head. Probably just imagining things

Xavier shut the door and walked over behind Becky

On her phone screen, a woman was dragging a man and another woman around while slapping them repeatedly.

Thanks to the added sound effects, every slap landed with a dramatic crack.

Becky laughed out loud, paused to catch her breath, then burst out laughing again on a loop.

Xavier’s lips twitched. He didn’t get what was so funny–he didn’t even understand why she’d watch something like that

Far He didn’t get it, but he respected it

He sat down beside her “Is it really that funny?”

Becky turned and saw him, quickly closed the app, and scooted away from him a little..

“I came to return the money”

She nodded toward the desk.

Xavier looked over.

A black plastic bag sat on his desk.

He turned back to her, stunned. She did ……

Becky gave a small nod. “Cash.”

Xavier’s mouth twitched. “You

It’s your

fault for refusing the transfer. That’s why I had to come in person.

After the surprise faded, a wave of guilt hit him.

But he didn’t say anything.

Handing the money over in person lifted a weight off Becky’s shoulders. She stood. “I’m leaving.”

Before she could take a step, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her down into his lap.

Her butt felt like it was on fire.

She’d never been this physically close to a man before. Her whole body stiffened with discomfort.

That night they slept together didn’t count. That had been the original Becky’s doing.

Even though flashes of that night popped into her head sometimes, she forced them down.

She shoved Xavier hard and jumped back like she’d been burned, glaring at him.

“What do you think you’re doing? Try that again and I’ll lose it.

Xavier stared at her.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her wide almond eyes were glaring

I really want to pinch her.

“Screw you” You don’t get to comment on me!”

Finished

The kind of man who was always in control suddenly looked so small in front of her, like she’d just stomped on his heart. Becky hated how soft that made her feel.

“Don’t look at me like that. You’re rich and successful. Plenty of girls would kill to marry you. Let it go. The world’s full of flowers–go pick one.

“If I’m so great, then why can’t you like me?”

“Because it’s not possible between us.”

“Not possible? Then why’d you sleep with me?”

Becky blurted out, “I didn’t sleep with you!”

“Oh? You’re denying that now? James was there, you know.”

Becky had no comeback.

Xavier took a step forward, his gaze locked on her. Becky backed away in panic

“Xavier, don’t do anything stupid.”

She backed up until her back hit the

wall.

No way

y to retreat.

Xavier raised his hand, and Becky instinctively shut her eyes.

After a moment of stillness, she realized he hadn’t touched her.

She cracked one eye open–then the other.
