Chapter 84
I looked at him like he was crazy.“Of course, Head Warrior with impure hearts see everything as impure.”
Seeing me deny it, his expression softened slightly.“If you quit your job, I’ll believe you and he are
innocent.”
I was speechless again.“Then don’t believe me.”
I don’t need his belief!
Jason’s face darkened. “Is that how much you want to work for him, to be his secretary?”
Me:“Yes, that’s right.”
“Sophia, you’re only clinging to Xander to spite me, to get revenge on me!”
Jason looked as if he had seen through me. He knew I still loved him, that I still belonged to him, that Xander was just a smokescreen for me to vent my anger. But even as a smokescreen, Xander was an extremely dangerous presence. Over time, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t truly fall for him.
I let out a cold laugh, not wanting to argue with him. I got up and took the congee from him.“Thank you very much, Mr. Winter, for visiting. Please leave.”
Mr. Winter?
Jason chuckled wryly. This was the first time she had used such a formal address since they knew each other. He sat down by the bed. “I’m not leaving. We’re not bonding severanced yet, and I have an obligation to take care of my partner.” His wolf made it clear that no matter what, it would never leave her.
M wolf sneered, “I REALLY WNAT TO ASSASSINATE HIM!”
I couldn’t chase him away, nor could I attack him, so I could only ignore him, treating him as if he were air. I put the congee on the bedside table, afraid that if he saw it, he would forcibly feed me… knowing him, he’d definitely do that. I retrieved the bowl and ate it anyway.
…
An hour later. Xander entered again. With him were Zane and Anna. I didn’t know Anna had stayed with me all night; she had just gone out to buy breakfast. Of course, Anna didn’t stay out of concern for me, nor out of guilt, she simply came to monitor the situation since Xander was
here.
“Sophia, I’m very sorry about last night. I didn’t understand the situation clearly and blindly believed Deputy Manager Jackson’s slander, misjudging you. I hope you can forgive me.” Anna apologized sincerely.

Two people asking for forgiveness this morning…

I felt quite helpless, and yet it was also comical. I knew clearly that Anna’s words were meant for Xander, hoping to be forgiven in his presence and have the matter settled.
“WHAT A PRETENDER!” My wolf couldn’t care less. But I couldn’t do that.
I smiled faintly.“There’s nothing to forgive or not forgive. In a situation like that last night, it’s easy to be misled. Blame Deputy Manager Jackson for disguising himself so well, and you, Ms. Anna, for being too kind. It’s not your fault.”
This gave Anna a complete way out. The polite remarks were well–rounded.
Xander’s wolf chuckled inwardly, “SHE IS QUITE ADEPT AT HANDLING PEOPLE!” Jason’s wolf felt a pang of jealousy, “SHE’D RATHER APPEASE A STRANGER THAN ME!” “Thank you, Sophia, for not holding a grudge. I… I feel very ashamed,” Anna breathed a sigh of relief, carefully glancing at Xander.“I’ve thought it over, and I don’t think I’m suitable to stay here.”
Xander ignored her implied meaning. His gaze remained gentle and calm on me.“You did a great job this time, but don’t do anything that dangerous again. The salary I pay you doesn’t require you to work this hard. I’ll handle the rest. Take good care of
I nodded.“Okay.”
your injuries.”
I looked into his eyes, feeling a little uneasy. I looked at Zane.“There are three more days of schedule. Thanks for your hard work, Assistant Zane.”
