A corner of Stella’s mouth lifted as she smiled mockingly at him. “Who do you think you are?”
She looked straight into his eyes and said, “I was just responding to your words. How is that considered
talking back? Do you really think you’re all that and that I naturally deserve to hear your lecture?”
Xavier’s face darkened with displeasure. “You…”
Both of them were at daggers drawn.
Zeta was still oblivious to what was happening in her own office. She yelled to Stella while searching
for the medicine.
“I tried to look for something with milder side effects while I was overseas, but it’s better that you cut
down your dosage of this stuff. It is an aphrodisiac after all and has significant side effects…” “Of
course, it’s not that damaging over the short-term, but using it for a long period, it might result in
irreparable damage to your health.”
She simply kept going on. Xavier was keen enough to catch the keywords in what Zeta said. He turned
to Stella and asked, “You’re buying aphrodisiacs from her?”
He had previously seen such medicine on Zeta’s shelves and thought she had bought it herselt
Which was why, that night she had kissed him with the passion of a thousand burning suns But after
calming himself down, he knew it couldn’t have been Zeta’s medicine.
She wouldn’t use such drugs
What he didn’t expect was for those medicines to be for Stella
He suddenly scoffed with disdain. “I was still confused as to why Weston suddenly liked you so much
that he was willing to call off his engagement with Guinevere – turns out that you’ve been seducing him
by using medicine !
Zeta walked back into her office with the medicine in hand. She was stunned to see Xavier standing
there, having a face off with Stella
“What are you doing here?” Even in her shock, she did not forget to hide the medicine behind her back
She remembered Strlla’s reminders that her medicine usage was a private affair and was something
that she couldn’t let a spcond person know about
Xavier sneered. “To think that the high munutrd and litt Dr. Taylor would be involved with south women”
“I don’t understand what you nran.”
Zeta furrowed her brows and collected herself. “This is my office. Please be more courteous when you
come by next time. Either get an appointment or knock on the door.”
“You didn’t even close your door, and here you are, accusing as you like? What’s more, how did you
know I had an appointment?”
Right after he said so, Daisy’s voice could be heard from behind him. “Xavier, are you done?”
She walked in and saw both Ella and Zeta in the room. She halted in her footsteps. “What are all of
you…”
A thought suddenly came to her mind, and she took a few steps back to look at the sign by the door.
Indeed, she saw Zeta’s name written in bold right outside.
She looked at Xavier with confusion in her eyes.
She wasn’t feeling very well, and he suggested bringing her for a check-up.
He took care of everything along the way, from securing an appointment to making payment.
She didn’t expect that he would ask for an appointment with Zeta, and awkwardness overwhelmed her.
“I’ın sorry, I didn’t know…”
Daisy and Zeta hardly knew each other.
Although Zeta was Xavier’s ex-fiancée , Daisy had never met her in the flesh before except for that
time at the year -old celebration when she saw her from afar.
Daisy hardly even considered themselves rivals in love, but she couldn’t shake off the awkwardness
that surged through her.
Zeta was, after all, Xavier’s ex-fiancée, whereas she was Xavier’s current girlfriend.
She didn’t understand why Xavier didn’t bother trying to avoid such an awkward situation from
happening.
For the smooth man that he was, he couldn’t possibly know that having his ex-fiance and current
girlfriend bump into each other was a bad idea.
Zeta was taken aback for a moment but quickly collected herself and returned to her usual calm and
composed manner.
She looked away from Daisy and handed Stella her medicine. “The dosage remains the same as
before.”
