“He’s put in a lot of time and effort, yet, he hasn’t received anything in return.”
“But, I’ve thought about it for a while. It wasn’t easy for me to get another chance at life. I don’t want to simply spend my life by his side. I want to be worthy. As an assistant, how could I ever dream of being with him?” Xiner replied in seriousness.
Emma understood how Xiner felt. She was optimistic and cheery. At the same time, she did not want to spend her life living off a man. Because, to be worthy of matching him, she knew she had the potential to reach the same level.
“Xiner, do what you want to do. Live vigorously and make this lifetime worth it.”
“Emma, don’t worry, I know what to do,” Xiner replied confidently.
After a moment of silence, Emma let out a gentle laugh, “Craig has too much of an ego. Take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. If you really have the intention to spend a lifetime with him, don’t be weak and back down.”
“I understand, Emma.”
After talking to Emma, Xiner immediately contacted the media. But, because they already had solid evidence of Craig k**sing the mystery woman, Xiner directly told them, “We can’t give you a response right now, but we will share some good news with you soon.”
In reality, the media had been trying to figure out the relationship bet**en Craig and Xiner for quite some time. After all, Craig had never used an assistant over the years, yet he chose to use Xiner. Xiner obviously meant something special to him. But, Craig’s whereabouts was always a mystery, so capturing a photo of him with Xiner was always a challenge.
However, just as everyone accepted the ambiguous nature of Craig and Xiner’s relationship, a mystery woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere…
The media assumed that Craig had lost interest in Xiner and had found himself a new toy, that he wasn’t going to keep her around and was bound to cancel her contract without hesitation.
With the addition of Xiner’s response, the media were certain that the relationship bet**en Xiner and Craig had undergone a change.
However, this was not the most spectacular scene. Because, it didn’t take long before Craig stepped out to reveal the truth, “The woman in the photo indeed has a special relationship with me.”
A suggestive response like this pushed Xiner further into the media’s line of attack.
“In that case, have you thought about what to do with Xiner?”
“She’s just one of my staff, what should I do with her?” Craig walked and responded at the same time.
So, when Xiner saw the news the next day, she realized it was perhaps the right time for her to leave. Therefore, she typed up a resignation letter and drove over to Craig’s home. As she pushed open the door to his home, she realized he was still asleep in bed, so she quietly placed the letter on his bedside table.
“What is the meaning of this?” Craig asked as he furrowed his brows.
“I’m about to attend Kaleidoscope’s entry exam, so…I may not be able to continue being ‘one of your staff’. I’ve learned alot from the time I spent with you. Thank you.”
“Wait. Who said you could leave?” Craig sat up, revealing his firmly toned body, “Have you not looked at your contract in detail?”
“Yes I have. The contract term is 30 years,” Xiner replied calmly. “You might be after a long-term assistant, but I can’t possibly spend my lifetime just being your assistant. I have my own life to live and goals to achieve.”
“Xiner, did you think I’d spend my entire life circling around you? There is a limit to my patience…”
Xiner stopped in her track, but she did not turn around. She simply said in a firm and mature manner, “You’re wrong. If you truly love someone, even if it means all your internal organs are painfully destroyed, you will still have the patience…”
“Bro, the answer you’ve been waiting for, I’ll give it to you now…I do indeed like you, but, I lack confidence. There is no way I can fight to be with you in my current state.” After speaking, Xiner started heading out the door, but Craig suddenly grabbed onto her hand.
“Is what you say true?”
“Of course,” Xiner threw away Craig’s hand and walked out without turning back.
However, Craig did not chase after her. He simply lay back in bed and smiled. He had waited too long for Xiner to give him a response. If Xiner continued to be an indifferent assistant around him, their ambiguous relationship would continue to drag on with no end…
So, he deliberately tried to trigger her.
Although his technique may have been a bit harsh, there was plenty of time to make up for it.
A while later, Craig received a phone call from Emma, “Don’t worry, Xiner is temporarily staying at my old home. Her apartment is currently being surrounded by the media.”
Emma’s old home had been empty ever since Lisa married Luke and moved out. So, it was a suitable place for Xiner to hide out.
“How did you know that I’d still care about her whereabouts?”
“If you continue to put on an act around me, then I won’t tell you anything about Xiner from now on.”
“Stop talking r*bbish. Send me the address,” Craig said directly. “I owe you one.”
“You don’t owe me anything. You’ve helped me enough.” After Emma hung up, she directly sent her old address to Craig. Craig quickly tidied up a little and drove out to the secluded home.
From his car, he watched as Xiner struggled to move her things into the house, but he did not rush over to help her. Now that he had found her location, he wasn’t going to let her escape. So, he immediately gave Eric a phone call, “Help me find a place to live near your wife’s old home.”
“Is this how you ask for a favor?” Eric’s l*ps curved slightly.
“I’m in a bad mood today…” In reality, ‘bad’ wasn’t the right word to use, ‘complex’ was more accurate.
He had discovered Xiner’s true feeling, but he couldn’t find a reason to hold onto her…
He felt both happy and defeated.
“I’ll get Luke to handle it for you…” Eric did not argue with him, he simply agreed in a calm manner.
Emma and Xiner were actually quite similar, but different at the same time. Emma had undergone a lot of suffering, so she was clear about what she wanted and what she should be grateful for. Whereas, Xiner still lacked certainty and courage. She was well aware of this, so she hoped to test herself and make herself more mature through pursuing a successful career.
In conclusion, Craig’s wife-chasing path still had a long way to go…
…
