"Understood," Timothy responded.
As soon as Xavier arrived at his office at Nova Group, he saw Sarah waiting on the couch with a document.
Sarah immediately got up once she saw him. "Xavier, why are you so late today...?"
Her voice trailed off as she spotted a scratch mark on his neck. Half of it was exposed, while half of it was hidden
by the collar of his shirt. Her heart sank.
"I was busy," Xavier said. He took the documents from her and strode past her to his desk.
He opened the file and began working, not glancing at her again.
Sarah walked over to his desk and said, "Can | take half a day off this afternoon? | have an appointment with the
hrenovation company."
"Finish your work, and then you can adjust your schedule accordingly," Xavier replied without looking up at her.
"Don't you want to join me? It's your house, after all," Sarah said while propping her arms against his desk.
She gazed at him with anticipation, hoping that he would go with her. The impact would be much greater if both
of them showed up in front of Lily. That way... Xavier would never again have any traces left by Lily, right? Seeing
that scratch mark drove her crazy with jealousy.
"I'm busy," Xavier said, as dealing with Lily had been a handful lately.
He wasn't interested in anything else aside from work.
Sarah's gaze dimmed, but she feigned indifference and said, "Well, then I'll just implement the style | like."

After leaving the CEO's office, Sarah called Nadia to confirm the contract signing with the renovation company in
the afternoon.
Seeing that Lily hadn't finished sorting out the materials, Nadia immediately agreed.
Lily arrived at Lupier at 8:30 am sharp. As soon as she got to her desk, Nadia approached her and said, "I've told
you that you can't leave work if the materials aren't finished." Lily frowned, but she nodded nonetheless "Sorry,
there were sunforeseen issues last night, and 1 didn't manage to stay overtime. But I'll finish everything
today."
Nadia gave her no room to negotiate. "It's too late!"
"In that case, a sincere apology is the best | can do. You can't firebecause of this," Lily said bluntly.
On her way to work, she had decided that she wouldn't compromise if Nadia made an issue out of this.
Tension hung between them, and people couldn't help but glance over. They were flabbergasted by how Lily,
who was merely a newbie, actually dared to stand up to Nadia, who was her direct superior.
They all broke out in a fit of cold sweat for Lily.
Unexpectedly, Nadia didn't burst into
a fit of rage and escalate the
situation. She simply said, Seu

If she couldn't handle this and lost the deal, Nadia could easily place the blon her, and she'd be at risk of
getting fired.

Nadia did ease Lily's concerns, but she had also driven her into a corner. If Lily didn't agree, she was worried that
Nadia might make a scene. She would then be left in a very vulnerable position.
So, Lily concurred. She figured that since Nadia had already made it clear, she wouldn't be responsible if she
couldn't secure the client.
In the afternoon, she went to the reception room with Nadia. Her expression immediately froze when she saw
Sarah sitting at the head of the table.
