Chapter 302
Hearing a knock on the door, he said calmly, “Come in.”
Claude entered and walked to the desk. Seeing Xavier focused on reviewing documents, he asked cautiously.
“Mr. Beltran, it’s past seven. Maybe you should eat dinner first?”
Xavier didn’t look up. “You go ahead and eat.”
“Get dinner for Amy, too.”
After saying that, Xavier noticed Claude hadn’t left. He looked up at him and saw his hesitation. He asked,
“What is it?”
“Oh, Mr. Henderson just called. He asked if you were still working late, worried you hadn’t
eaten.”
A sneer touched Xavier’s lips. “He probably just wants to ask me to go for a drink.”
Claude laughed. “I spoke with Mr. Henderson for a bit. He’s at a bar right now, and Josephine is there too.”
“He said he’d called you and sent you a text, too.”
Xavier was silent.
He’d seen the call was from Gerald and hadn’t picked up. Then he heard the message notification but didn’t check it.
Xavier put down his pen, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead. Then he picked up his phone and opened WhatsApp.
Aveline was pinned at the top, but she hadn’t messaged him in a long time.
Below that, the most recent message was from Josephine: [Xav, you need to take care of yourself. Don’t work too hard.]
Then one from Gerald: [Josie and I are at Velvet Club. Come have a drink.]

Xavier stood up and grabbed his trench coat. “That’s enough for today. Let’s go home.”
Claude thought Xavier was going to the bar, a flash of joy in his eyes, thinking that his words had had an effect.
The moment Xavier left the office, Claude immediately sent a text to Josephine,
[Mr. Beltran is on his way.]
Josephine replied right away, [Thanks.]
As Xavier got into the elevator, he texted Amy, telling her to get the car ready.
When he got to the underground garage, Amy already had the car running. Xavier got in, and she waited for him to say where they were going.
But after waiting for a while, Xavier still hadn’t said a word.
Amy glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Mr. Beltran leaning back with his eyes closed.
Mr. Beltran must be tired.
Could he have fallen asleep?
Amy kept quiet, thinking that if he was asleep, she should just let him rest for a while.
Seeing that Xavier wasn’t wearing a jacket, Amy worried he might get cold if he fell asleep and reached over to turn up the heat.
Just then, Xavier suddenly asked in a quiet voice, “Are you hungry?”
Amy pulled her hand back and replied, “I’m alright. I just had a few pieces of chocolate in the
car.”
“It’s that Singaporean brand of chocolate the is newly distributing. You put a few boxes in the
car.”
“Mr. Beltran, would you like some?”
Even though Amy asked, she knew that Xavier didn’t eat things that sweet.
Hearing that, Xavier suddenly remembered Aveline liked chocolate. He should have brought a
