The assistant rushed up to Kevin with a nervous look.
She explained the whole situation with Yulia.

Kevin raised an eyebrow. “You really are clueless. To Mr. Xavier, Yulia is ancient history – the kind he has zero interest in revisiting. And you’re bothering him over someone like that? No wonder he snapped.”
The assistant hesitated. “So…. what do I do now?”
“Do?” Kevin scoffed. “Do nothing. Let her rot down there.”
Yulia was on the first floor, and Mr. Xavier always used the underground garage. Their paths would never cross.

“Oh — and send two people to keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn’t get anywhere near the garage.”
“Got it. I’ll take care of it.”
The assistant turned to leave, but Kevin stopped her.
“One more thing. From now on, Ms. Becky is Mr. Xavier’s one and only. As his assistants, we need to have eyes. When you see Ms. Becky, you treat her like she’s your own precious treasure.”
The assistant gasped. “Ms. Becky? But wasn’t she his ex–wife?”
–
and that they’d divorced.
Everyone at Glory Corp knew Xavier had once been married to Becky
But what they didn’t know was that the two were very much back together.
Kevin leaned in with a smirk and lowered his voice.
“She gave Mr. Xavier a son.”
The assistant’s eyes widened. “What?! When did that happen?”
“She was pregnant before the divorce. The baby’s already here
The assistant clapped a hand over her mouth.

seven, eight months old.”
Mr. Xavier had always kept his personal life locked down tight. If Becky hadn’t tipped off a journalist back then, no one would’ve known a thing. And afterward, he’d ordered all online content related to their marriage scrubbed clean.
Even the divorce only came to light because someone leaked it by accident.
“So… are they remarried?”
Kevin shook his head. “Not yet. But I’d bet it’s coming soon.”
He’d seen the way Mr. Xavier had been smiling lately. That last business trip? He’d cut it short and raced home. It had to be for Ms. Becky.
Now that there was a kid between them, it was just a matter of time.
The assistant nodded eagerly. “Thanks for the heads–up! I know what to do now.”
A good assistant needed to know who was in and who was out. The current woman? Treat her like royalty. The ex? Block her at the door.
Kevin nodded, pleased. “Get to work.”
“Right.”
Kevin stepped into Xavier’s office.
“Sir, Mr. Errol is celebrating his eightieth birthday tomorrow. He’s extended an invitation.”

Xavier looked up. “I’m aware.”
Kevin paused for a moment, then added, “Sir, for this kind of event, it’s best to bring a date.”

Officially, it was a birthday banquet. But everyone knew these gatherings were matchmaking events in disguise. All the top families would be there, bringing their unmarried sons and daughters, hoping to arrange alliances.
A man like Mr. Xavier

the ultimate bachelor

was the centerpiece. Everyone believed he was still single, and they’d all be
out for blood.
Xavier understood exactly what Kevin meant.
He asked, “Evening or midday?”
“Evening.”
“Alright. That’s all.”
Kevin turned to leave.
As he walked out, a knowing smile tugged at his lips.
Mr. Xavier’s definitely bringing Ms. Becky.
–
Yulia stayed at the building until nearly everyone had clocked out. Glory Corp was almost empty. and she still hadn’t seen Xavier once.
When she tried to head toward the garage, two security guards blocked her path and began tailing her closely.
She had no choice but to leave.
Becky climbed into Xavier’s car. Her phone buzzed Lyle had messaged to say he’d be visiting in three days. She tapped out a quick reply.
Once she set her phone down, Xavier spoke.
“Becky, Mr. Errol is celebrating his eightieth birthday tomorrow. Will you come with me?”
She didn’t even look up. “Nope. Don’t have time.”
“It’s in the evening. It won’t interfere with work.”
“Still don’t want to go.”
“Come on. If you don’t go, I’ll be in serious danger.”
