Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Will We Go Home Together?
Translator: 549690339
Outside the building, Gaby Rome was excitedly hugging Xaviera Evansâ neck: âEvans, why did you suddenly agree to cooperate with the Mamet Corporation? You donât have to force yourself, donât just agree to work with them because of me.â
At least wait until after meeting with the people from the Mamet Corporation before agreeing.
Xaviera rolled her eyes.
After shaking off the annoying school officials, Caleb Mamet and Steve Price spotted two figures standing outside the building.
Gaby was hugging Xaviera intimately, talking to her nonstop.
Xaviera mostly listened silently, occasionally nodding in agreement.
One was quiet, the other chatty, and they seemed strangely harmonious.
Steve secretly glanced at Calebâs expression, then casually said: âWell⊠it seems that Mrs. Price and Gaby Rome get along really well⊠I remember Gaby saying that Xaviera was his little sister from Lohill, so itâs normal for them to have a lot to say after not seeing each other for so long⊠âo
Caleb looked expressionlessly at Gabyâs arm around Xavieraâs neck.
Gaby suddenly felt a chill on his back, turning around inexplicably, just in time to see Caleb and Steve coming down the stairs. He waved: âHey Caleb, come here, let me introduce you to my sisterâŠâ
Before he could finish his sentence, Caleb stopped three meters in front of them, asking: âShall we go home together?â
Gaby: âHuh? Are we having a gathering at your place today?â
Xaviera pinched her brow: âLetâs go together.â
She didnât want to listen to Gabyâs chatter anymore!
âAlright.â
Caleb nodded indifferently and headed towards the parking lot.
Xaviera threw off Gabyâs arm from her shoulder, casually said letâs go, and really left.
Gaby looked at their departing figures with a dazed expressionâŠ
What was going on?
He grabbed the fleeing Steve, questioning him: âHow does my sister know
Caleb? When did they meet? How come I donât know about this?â
Steve hesitated: âMaybe⊠they havenât known each other for that long?â
Not knowing each other for long and going home together?
Going home together?!
âDamn it, somethingâs wrong, Steve, be honest with me, whatâs the deal with them?â
âWell, itâs nothing much, probably just a legal husband-and-wife relationship after getting a marriage certificate.â
After saying that, he took advantage of Gabyâs stunned state, forcefully broke free and ran away.
Meanwhile, Gaby was carefully recalling what he said: got a marriage certificate⊠a legal⊠husband and wife relationship?
His sister got married to Caleb?!
No, the one who got a marriage certificate with Caleb was his sister?!
Holy shit!
Xaviera thought she would be faced with Calebâs endless questions, even preparing excuses in advance, but Caleb didnât ask a single question!
Aside from Steve occasionally glancing at her, their interaction was no different than usual.
Not to mention asking about the Lohill matter, Caleb hadnât even brought up the new product collaboration with the Mamet Corporation!
Xavieraâs bottled â up frustration simply vanished along the way.
After returning to the villa, she stomped her way up to the third floor.
At that moment, a birthday email reminder popped up.
Xaviera slowed down.
Mortimerâs birthday was coming upâŠ
In the past, she would just perfunctorily send an animated âhappy birthdayâ to him, but this year, after consulting with Mortimer on so many questions, she couldnât just brush him off.
Scratching her head, Xaviera thought about the impression Mortimer had given her. He had always been steady, but after their recent conversations, Xaviera felt that Mortimer should be quite youngâŠ
Letâs just make something random then!
In the study on the second floor.
While handling work, Steve asked Caleb, âMr. President, your birthday is coming up. How do you want to celebrate it? Going back to the Mamet family mansion or having a party with friends?â
In previous years, it was one of these two activities, so Steve asked effortlessly.
But within a second, he realized and added: âYou can also spend it with your wife.â
Caleb slammed a file on the table, âDo you think sheâll celebrate my birthday? She doesnât even know itâs my birthday!â
Steve:
What was this deep resentment about?
Xavieraâs phone call came at this moment. Steve looked at Caleb apprehensively, then quietly stepped aside and whispered, âMrs. Price, whatâs up? o âHelp me get some things.â
âWhat things?â
After Xaviera stated her requirements, Steve was silent for a while: âMrs. Price, are you interested in handicrafts? The president has a shop under his name specializing in handicrafts, and itâs fully equipped.â
âNo, donât tell him.â
Xaviera refused without hesitation.
Steve sensed something was off and hesitantly asked, âMrs. Price, may I ask, do you have a specific purpose in mind for these items?âo
Why would she keep it a secret from Caleb?
