Xante smiled. “You’re overestimating yourself. Newmoon Group can more than afford to lose the business you bring
us. I appreciate all the romantic gestures you’ve done for me tonight, but you should know I’m not the young girl I
once was. Frankly, these things embarrassed me.”
Shawn felt a pang of hurt in his chest. Frowning, he said, “Xante, I…”
Xante did not want to hear what he had to say anymore, so she shouted toward the private room, “Aaron!”
“Coming!” Aaron immediately ran out of the private room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXante threw a set of car keys toward him. “You haven’t drunk any alcohol, so you can drive me home. Bring the car
around, and let’s get out of here.”
Aaron caught the car keys and said under his breath, “What does she think I am? Her driver?”
Xante ignored Aaron and walked toward the entrance. She waited for him to bring the car around.
Very quickly, Aaron arrived with the car, and Xante got into it.
As soon as she got into the car, Aaron joked, “Xante, your ex-boyfriend might not be the important person he thinks
he is, but his phone does hold the power to a lot of mega-companies’ resources. Are you sure it’s okay to turn him
down like that?”
Xante gave him a side-eye. “Should I introduce you to him, then? You can exchange all the resources you like with
him once you two are together.”
“No way! I’m straight, okay?!”
Xante ignored him.
She knew Shawn could still prove useful to her. That was why she kept in contact with him in the first place.
However, she knew he would think he still had a chance with her if she continued to keep in contact with him after
what happened.
If they continued to be friends, Shawn would use the resources he had as a bargaining chip, and that would make
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXante’s life even more difficult. Thus, cutting him off was the best course of action. After all, there would always be
other ways to acquire more resources.
‘I must’ve been blind to fall for him when I was young,’ she thought. The only feeling she had toward a manipulative
man like Shawn was repulsion.
Suddenly, Xante looked out of the window and realized the car was not taking the familiar route home, so she
asked Aaron, “Where are we going?”
“To the Riveras’ mansion to see how the boss is doing. I heard Jeremy is flying to Molomia tonight to take care of
the Sophia problem. I’m quite worried the boss will be in a bad mood, so let’s pop in for a visit.”
