Before leaving, Maggie changed into the outfit she arrived in and attempted to return the luxurious
evening gown to Alyssa. Alyssa, however, declined to accept and explained that it was a belated 18th
birthday gift for Maggie.
Since Maggie had no good reason to return the gown, she carefully brought the gown home with tears
of joy.
As a driver had been assigned to send Maggie home, Xavier sat in the front passenger seat awkwardly,
not daring to speak a word lest someone mistook him as a pervert who kidnapped a teenage girl. He
never wanted to get wrongly accused like the last time.
Throughout the trip, Maggie cautiously kept a distance from Xavier and looked out of the window with a
light blush on her cheeks. She touched her cheeks; they burned.
Finally, they arrived at the lobby of her apartment. She had wanted Xavier to head back soon, but he
insisted on sending her to the door because he was worried about her safety.
At the door, she hesitated before whispering, "Xavier, I need to get something from my room. Wait for
me."
"Sure. Take your time. I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes," Xavier answered a little too eagerly
and urgently.
When in college, he was the student union's president. Upon graduation, he worked hard alongside
Jasper and was appointed the head secretary of the company president, which came with a million-
dollar annual paycheck.
However, he was awkward and clumsy in front of the woman he loved.
Soon, she reappeared with a pink bag in her hand. She tiptoed to him and gently closed the door
behind her as she didn't want to wake Gina up.
She explained, "This is the bag you requested me to make. Sorry for the delay; too many things have
been going on lately."
She embarrassedly handed the bag to him with both hands. "I made some improvements. Hope your
sister likes it."
"Yes, she will like it a lot. Thank you, Ms. Madison!" Xavier accepted the bag with trembling hands.
When their hands accidentally brushed, their hearts skipped a beat.
"Ms. Madison, I... I really like you. May I pursue you?" Riding the influence of the alcohol, he gathered
his courage and gave it a shot.
Hearing that, she stumbled backward in a panic. "I. No, I can't! I've not graduated yet. I don't want a
reidLiunsnip now. I need LU iocus on my studies.
"I'll wait for you until you graduate. I'll wait even if you prefer to date after college." Xavier's voice
cracked, and nis eyes filled with a desperate eagerness.
Blushing, she shook her head furiously. "B-But I'm not an adult yet!"
"Didn't your 18th birthday just pass?"
She bit her lip abashedly.
"Ms. Madison. Maggie, I—"
She slammed the door in his face, leaving him looking down and disappointed after the rejection.
At 2:40 pm the next day, Javier, dressed impeccably in a suit, arrived at the Berenike Hotel VIP parking
garage with Rory.
The press conference was in preparation for Sophia's court appearance tomorrow. Anyone could tell
that Alyssa would buy off the media for negative coverage of Sophia's court case. That would deal a
huge blow to the Beckett Group.novelbin
At this point, Javier had no hope for Jasper. He'd consider himself lucky if Jasper did not add fuel to the
fire.
He had to take matters into his own hands, trying his best to turn the situation around and gain some
favor and sympathy for the Beckett Group.
Just as he left the car, the hotel manager worriedly rushed to him. "M-Mr. Javier, I have bad news!"
Javier shot a look at the brash manager and hissed, "What's wrong? Calm down before you speak."
The manager wiped away sweat and explained, "No reporters have shown up at the venue yet. I have
no idea why."
Javier and Rory said in unison, "No one here? How is that possible?"
Javier turned to Rory and asked in disbelief, "Did you not send out the invitations?"
