Chapter64.
My wolf was somewhat embarrassed, but also seething with frustration, “WHAT DID THAT LOOK AND EXPRESSION MEAN?!”

I wanted to explain, but it felt like protesting too much. I was a little annoyed. Misunderstood or not, the truth would come out eventually.
I turned and left.
Arriving at Xander Shaw’s suite, I used my key card to open the door. For convenience, Zane and I both had keys to his room. Before, it seemed normal, but after Anna’s look… it felt strangely off.
I entered. Xander was standing by the window, undoing his watch strap.
A man undoing his watch strap…
My mind uncontrollably conjured a cliché scene: Two people in a love–hate relationship, the male lead deliberately gets intimate with his secretary to provoke the female lead, making her break down…
“…Mr–Mr. Shaw, y–you-
“I’m hungry,” Xander’s gaze fell on me, his voice slightly hoarse. Around me, there was the faintest trace of his scent.
“…” I almost fled.
My eyes widened in shock, and my steps faltered. Xander seemed puzzled, looked at his detached watch, then added helplessly and speechlessly, “I mean, my stomach is hungry.”
“Oh, oh, your stomach is hungry. You scared me,” I said, my wolf relieved.
After saying that…
”
The awkward silence hung in the air.
I wanted to bite my tongue. I coughed, walking towards the phone, trying to appear calm as I asked, “Mr. Shaw, what would you like to eat?”
Xander put his watch back on expressionlessly.“Anything!”
The most difficult people to please are those who say “anything!”
I mentally complained, using a gentle and slow tone to instruct the manager on what food to prepare. Not knowing his taste preferences, I ordered randomly.
After calling, when I turned around, I noticed he had put his watch back on. So he wasn’t
unaware…
“Sophia Wells, you should know that your current job was previously Zane’s,” Xander said coolly, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in my mind.

My thoughts were still a little muddled. Hearing him say that, I was shocked and blurted out, “Zane does this too?”
Xander was tired to reply.
He waved his hand,“Get out.”
I went out of the room.
After walking a short distance, I stopped and banged my head against the wall.

Zane saw this “strange” scene when he returned and was about to approach when Xander called him, so he went to him first. Upon entering, he couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Shaw, did Sophia also. drink? I saw her banging her head against the wall in the corridor.”
Xander:…
He rubbed his temples and instructed him on some work details for the next day. The food arrived, and Zane’s stomach was also rumbling, so Xander asked him to sit down and eat together.
“Sophia was winning so well, how come you replaced her?” Xander asked casually after finishing his meal, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Zane wanted to laugh when he talked about this.“Her guts are really too big. At first, I was worried, but then she got into it, wanting to go all–in. I was almost scared out of my wits. I had no choice but to use that as an excuse to send her away. She thought she was a gambling goddess…”
Xander paused.“She went out?”
