Mada Goldie got angry just thinking of the staff’s sycophantic expressions earlier. Giving her roses with such a face, asking if it was enough—maybe they should’ve given a dozen more?
Davina Rowe strutted past her with an air of superiority.
Mada Goldie had been in the entertainnt industry for many years. When Leah Thorne debuted, Justin Xavier directly assigned her as Leah’s gold-standard dedicated manager. "Snatching" was her profession, and she was serious about it!
Mada Goldie, who had never lost in snatching resources or endorsents, actually lost to a rookie like Davina Rowe. She felt utterly humiliated.
Davina’s reason was... having a rose petal bath with Justin Xavier. That reason was too ridiculous; she couldn’t possibly say she wanted to have a rose petal bath with Leah Thorne instead, right?
In any case, Mada Goldie was furious.
Upon hearing the term "rose petal bath," Leah Thorne shivered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Forget about it, Mada Goldie, there’s no need to take it seriously. I won’t take the bath tonight."
"Leah, since when did you beco so nonchalant? No ambition at all!" Mada Goldie lovingly pinched Leah’s soft cheeks as a punishnt.
Leah said nothing.
"Leah, about President Xavier... do you really not want him? Think it through. If you don’t want President Xavier, other won will. Isn’t our motto... even if we don’t want the man, we can’t let other won have him so easily?" Mada Goldie attempted to persuade her.
Leah still said nothing.
"Leah, where did this little character Davina Rowe co from? You’ve beco so detached that you’re letting her walk all over you? The Leah Thorne I know has never encountered a true rival. Davina Rowe could disappear in an instant, as long as you want it. Yet, you keep her around, only to upset yourself."
Leah raised her head, her alluring eyes landing on Mada Goldie’s face, "Mada Goldie, how much did they pay you to say these things? Let ask, are you my person or Justin Xavier’s? Did he instruct you to say this?"
Mada Goldie laughed. She knew Leah understood everything and had done nothing, probably because... she hadn’t made up her mind.
"Leah, believe , I’m on your side because I see more potential for wealth with you. These words weren’t paid for; they’re my genuine words, I swear."
"There’s a saying, n are born to conquer the world, while won are born to conquer n. Leah, I want to give you this saying. You know President Xavier’s feelings for you more than anyone. Just move your finger a little, and President Xavier will co running to you like a loyal puppy."
"Turn him into an arrow in your hand. Of course... I know it’s a bit difficult for you because... you still love him."
"Leah, think it over carefully. At least... deal with those flirty won around President Xavier. I don’t want to see them flaunting about tomorrow. It’s really a headache."
With that said, Mada Goldie left.
Only Leah remained in the room. She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly raising her hands to wrap around herself.
...
In another room, Justin Xavier stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, tugging at his tie. At this mont, his personal secretary asked from behind, "President, when should we set out to return?"
Justin showed little expression, "Any updates on Leah Thorne?"
"None. We haven’t heard anything about Miss Thorne’s flight yet. With Miss Sumr here, Miss Thorne will probably stay a few more days," the personal secretary replied.
"Then let’s not go yet. Wait a couple of days. There are too many people here, and it’s very noisy..." Justin didn’t say more, but the personal secretary knew that leaving Miss Thorne among many n wasn’t reassuring for the President.
"President Xavier~" Davina Rowe called out sweetly, directly hugging Justin Xavier’s sturdy waist from behind.
The personal secretary swiftly exited.
Now, with the tie loosely hanging around his neck, Justin opened the sleeve buttons of his shirt, rolling the sleeves twice upwards, revealing his firm forearms and the luxury steel watch on his wrist. He didn’t look at Davina and said lightly, "What is it?"
"President Xavier~" Davina’s restless hands slowly crawled up his firm chest.
The atmosphere in the room quickly turned ambiguous.
At this mont, Justin turned around, casting a cold glance at her, "Put your hands back. I’m not in the mood today. You can leave now."
Davina’s restless hand froze in mid-air. He had actually rejected her.
"What, didn’t you understand ?" Justin raised an eyebrow.
Davina looked at his emotionless, indifferent deanor. The desire that had co so quickly that night left just as swiftly now.
Having just secured the rose and still gloating, Davina had planned to actually have a rose petal bath with Justin, but now... he directly sent her away.
"President Xavier, I..." Davina tried to argue for herself.
But Justin’s eyes darkened, eyeing her indifferently.
A chill ran down Davina’s spine; she realized he had lost all patience with her, so she suppressed her disappointnt and grievances, turning to leave.
Just then, there was a "ding." Justin’s phone chid; a ssage on WeChat had arrived.
On his phone, there was only Leah Thorne on WeChat.
Leah hadn’t contacted him proactively for a long ti, and this was the first ti.
Justin swallowed slightly, reaching into his pants pocket to take out his phone. Indeed, Leah had sent a ssage. It was a voice ssage.
Justin opened the voice ssage, and Davina, who had just reached the door, heard her own voice, Leah Thorne, I think you’re just a tease, always cheating, even with your brother...
Davina’s pupils contracted. This... these were the words she’d said in the bathroom about Leah, and Leah had recorded it and sent it directly to Justin!
That Leah Thorne was... ruthless!
Davina stiffly turned around, and in the next second, she saw Justin Xavier standing tall and handso by the window, slowly raising his eyes. His gaze, deep as a cold pond, fell on her face.
With a "swoosh," the pretty color was drained from Davina’s face, leaving her deathly pale. "President... President Xavier, let explain..."
Justin placed one hand in his pocket, standing back to the light, his expression very distant, "So you know my relationship with Leah Thorne?"
"I..."
"Since you know our relationship, who gave you the guts to go after her?"
"I..."
"Hah," a low, hoarse laugh rolled out from Justin’s throat. "I thought you were smart. Turns out you were as stupid as a pig. Now let tell you, the one who likes to cheat is ; every day I keep her by my side, I want to cheat with her."
"Also, who allowed you to insult her? The girl I’ve cherished and raised, I’ve never even scolded her once. Even today, with her dancing in front of so many n, no matter how displeased I am, I wouldn’t show it or scold her Leah Thorne, you’re such a tease!"
