Company secretary:
She nervously replied, âPerhaps itâs the gossip between girls? Like when we talk with our friends, we tend to lose track of time.â
Caleb coldly said, âBut even if you forget about time, thereâs no need for a two-hour call, is there? Arenât you afraid of wearing your mouth out?â
Two hours⊠That is indeed a bit long.
The secretary suddenly thought of a possibility and cautiously said, âMr. Caleb Mamet, are you sure that the person was really on the phone? Thereâs another possibility that person might have blocked you.â
But, would anyone block Mr. Caleb Mamet?
Having said that, the secretary felt that her guess might be wrong. She wanted to add something but noticed that Calebâs face had turned livid.
Secretary:
Caleb was unable to contain his anger. Good for Xaviera Evans, daring to block him! And Steve Price, that stupid man said Xaviera was on a call with someone else, all misinformation!
âGo, tell Steve Price that his bonus is canceled this month!â Secretary:
Is this the legendary misplaced anger? Poor assistant.
On the other hand, Xaviera waited for Caleb in the villa until nine oâclock in the evening. Her stomach was growling with hunger, but that bastard Caleb was still not back!
Unable to hold back, she confirmed with the housekeeper, âHousekeeper, are you sure Caleb is coming back today?â
The housekeeper uncertainly replied, âWhen I called Mr. Mamet earlier, he said he would be back, but itâs indeed late now. Mrs. Mamet, are you hungry? Shall I have the kitchen prepare something for you? Or deal with the things you brought back?â
Xaviera sighed, âNo need, Iâll wait for him to come back.â
If Caleb doesnât return, whatâs the point of eating? She couldnât taste anything anyway.
When it was nine-thirty, Xaviera couldnât help herself and took out her phone to call Caleb. Good, the call went through, meaning Caleb didnât block her.
As time went on, she couldnât help but wonder if Caleb had found out that she blocked him. But the phone was able to connect now⊠If it were Calebâs character, he would probably block her in retaliation if he found out she blocked him.
Soon, the call connected, and the faint sound of the manâs breathing came through the phone.
Xaviera asked stiffly, âCaleb?â
Calebâs voice was cold, âHmm.â
Xaviera: âItâs almost ten oâclock, you told the housekeeper youâd be back for dinner. Where are you? Why arenât you back yet?â
Caleb snorted, âI didnât finish my work; I canât go back.â
Xaviera heard this and knew that Caleb, the bastard, was having a temper with her again.
âDoes Mrs. Mamet need something? If not, Iâll continue working.â
âWait.â
Xaviera took several deep breaths and waved at the housekeeper to move further away before gritting her teeth and calling Caleb, âCaleb!â
There was a slight pause in Calebâs breathing on the other end of the line.
Xavieraâs eyes lit up, as this trick seemed to work. She pressed on, âCaleb, when will you be home? Iâm so hungry waiting for you!â
Calebâs fingertips curled slightly, and he lowered his voice, âFine, Iâll be back soon. â
Xaviera: â
Bastard! Werenât you just saying you had work to do!?
Twenty minutes later, when the door opened, Xaviera got up from the sofa and ran to Caleb to eagerly take off his coat, âLet me, let me.â
Caleb glanced at her, âHungry?â
Xaviera nodded vigorously, âHungry, starving!â
âHeh,â Caleb sneered, probably thinking that she was going to ask him for something and thatâs why she changed her attitude.
The man leisurely went upstairs, âBut Iâm not hungry. Mrs. Mamet, if youâre hungry, go ahead and eat. Iâll take a shower upstairs.â
Obviously, he was being difficult.
Xaviera was more certain that Caleb was in a bad mood. The original idea of forcefully kissing him gradually faded away. Sheâd better not provoke the tiger. âAlright, you go take a shower, and weâll have a good talk after youâre done.â
Caleb hesitated mid-step upstairs, and he looked back at her, âDoes Mrs. Mamet need something from me?â This woman had a complete change of attitude compared to the daytime.
Xavieraâs expression stiffened. Although it could be considered asking, she wasnât the only one benefiting from kissing, he was too.
She showed a formulaic smile, âNo, weâre a married couple. Canât I just show some concern? Be careful in the shower; donât slip and fall.â
At a time like this, it didnât sound like concern; it seemed more like a curse.
Caleb snorted internally, probably guessing that she wanted to use him to regain her sense of taste. Because only when she needed him would she be somewhat friendly to him..
