Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 341

Would he truly need to personally attend this dinner for something as trivial as the renovation of a villa? He

simply wanted to see her at her lowest and make things difficult for ber! Her disheveled hair clung to her cheeks,

and her shirt was

was still damp with alcohol stains. The more disheveled she appeared, the more radiant and commanding the

man in front of her seemed, as it he ruled over everything

A faint shadow fell beneath his eyes under the overhead light by the sink, making his gaze even deeper.

"You're the one feeling diffident and avoiding me."

Lily was unlike other designers who would make excuses to get closer to him. Instead, she treated him like a

plague.

She took the measurements and turned to leave without even leaving her contact information. She was the one

who couldn't follow through with being indifferent and still held grudges against him!

"| can't even escape from you. Will | make you

e you treatfairly by taking the initiative to approach you? Lily raised her hand and put her fingertips on his

chest.

Her touch burned even through his suit and shin as if trying to pierce straight through his heart. "Ask yourself,

would you ever letgo? No, you wouldn't! You would only mockand laugh at how pathetically live without

you. You'd only laugh at how small Lam now!" Act Fast: Free Bonus Tis Running Out!

Xavier suddenly Leached. The curve of his lips brimmed wi

think too highly of yourself.

"I'm incredibly busy, | don't have the tto care whether you're doing well or not, let alone spare a moment to

mock you?

He truly was a picture of a busy man. Howe, Lily didn't believe a single word from lalim.

"Shuce that's the case, let's get everything back on track. The villa at Glenview Villa isn't a project Lupter's store

can handle,

"Let Nadia take mer. It depends entirehron her ability to see whartlier

e deal "Lily turned around again and tabled her hair in front of the mirror

ther any longer. There was noth

she could say to help the situation:

She had no intention of staying A

Her arm suddenly tightened as Xavier grabbed it. Her slender and salt waist pressed against the cold and hard

buride of his belt.

He leaned in, his thin lips brushing against her eat as he asked cobilly, "Yourled to take new i project. Is it

because you're targeting the Devereux family's deal?-

Did she think she could handle the Devereux Bamily's deal?

Lity was pinned against him. She couldn't move. Her shoulders were pressed against his buning chest. She

raised her eyes to meet his gaze. Their faces leveled as he loomed over

"We go out separate ways. It's none of your business whose deal | take. It's just like | don't meddle in your little

escapades with Sarah, Fair's fair!"

Xaster gritted his teeth and tightened his jaw. The veins on his neck bulged slightly. -

She struggled against him. Her soft frcollided with his solid chest several times before she stomped on his

polished leather shoe. She was wearing high heels, so her step was anything but gentle He winced in pin and

hissed through clenched teeth, "Lily"

However, Lily ignored him and turned around to run away. Landon and Nadia immediately looked her way as Lily

pushed open the door to the private room

"Mr. Ashford, Ms. Cooper, I'll leave the rest to you both. I'm leaving now" Her eyes were slightly red. It was partly

from the sting of the alcohol and partly because she had been on the verge of tears She put on her down jacket

and grabbed her bag before she turned around to leave.

Timothy bad a sinking feeling in his gut. He instinctively stood up to open the door for her. "Mrs. Putton="11Il

"Don't callthat." Lily cut him of "I'm not worthy of the title."

Timothy was slightly worried. He had blurted it out reflexively in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

However, that title felt like a thorn piercing her ears and hourt, she saw Sarah exiting the elevator just as she left

the private room. They both stopped in their tracks

"Sarah." Nadia followed suit and quickly ran toward Sarah "You're finally here. Please doa favor and say

sgood words to Mr. Fulton later

"I'll do my best to help" Sarah's pace briefly swept over taly

Lily remained composed as usual and headed toward the elevator.

Sarah intended to stop Lily when she passed her. However, Lily had anticipated the move. She sidestepped

swiftly to wold her hand. Her expression remained cold and impassive as she continued on her way without even

glancing at Sarali. Sarah's hand froze mid-air She felt slightly awkward "What's wrong willi birt ?"

Nadia besitated momentarily before she said, "Mr. Hulton gave her a hard time. She's too rigid. It's not surprising

she faces difficulties in the workplace

However, Nadia felt that Lily didn't seem like someone lacking in social finesse privately. She hadn't observed

how Lily interacted with other clients aside from seeing her work un Glenview Villa's project.

Could be that she simply didn't know how to maintain client relationships?

"Bld you drink? Sardi could smell a strong whitt of alcohol from Lily

Nadia nodded. "This lias 42% of alcohol content. She had drank nearly half of. That was a lot!"

Xavier appeated from the direction of the restroom just as Nadia's words fell. Ife stepped into the private room

with a cold expression before he grabbed his coat and slung it over his arm. He then left in a hurry without

paying any attention to the outdous glances from those around him.

"Mr. Fulton, about the renovation Landon palckly stepped out of the rooms and ran after lain.

Timothy blocked his path and said, "Hease wait for further nutteel"

Nadia quickly nudged Sarah's arm. "Sai

"I'll call you again." Saral released lip on Nadia before turning around and catching up to Kader.
