�Mister, please step aside. I have something to say to Lei.�

Helplessly, William pleaded with Xavier politely.

However, Xavier took up an annoying front. He arrogantly looked over William�s head. �Which midget is talking? I can�t hear him.�

The assistant who stood beside William became angry. �Why did you say that? Doctor Jones is an expert that the hospital hired at a high cost. He�s a truly talented youth. Of course, a ladies� man like you can�t reach his height!�

�So, you are also admitting that your doctor is short, aren�t you?�

�He�s not short at all. He was five feet eight during the physical examination, and he�s five feet nine in shoes. He�s not short��

The assistant looked up at Xavier, who was at least six feet and an inch, and stated with a guilty conscience, �But he�s not as tall as you.�

Xavier appeared smug and William, who was one head shorter than him. �So, I suppose to calling you a midget won�t be offensive then?�

�Why, you!�

The assistant was so angry that he felt like beating Xavier up.

William waved his hand and stopped his assistant from speaking any professional smile. �Mister, we hold nothing against each other. I don�t know why you harbor such great hostility toward me.�

�No reason why. I simply find you an eyesore, shorty.�

He then put both of his hands in his pockets as deep disdain emerged in his eyes.

If it were not for Leia, such an insignificant doctor had completely no right to speak to him. Leia stood behind Xavier and listened to their argument. She felt slightly bad about it, so she gently tugged at his clothes. �Xavier, that�s enough. Don�t be too harsh on him.�

�Didn�t he hurt you deeply? I have yet to attack him, and you already feel sorry for him,� Xavier said ambiguously while tilting his head slightly and glancing at Leia, who appeared cowardly.

As a result, Leia was stunned. �How do you know��

�What do you think?�

He grumpily pinched her ear. �Look at how timid you are. Will you be so cowardly if he wasn�t your ex-boyfriend?�

Leia was rendered speechless. She felt quite awkward, so she covered her head silently.

She had an allergic reaction, and her face was as swollen as a balloon. It was humiliating enough to bump into her ex-boyfriend, but her crush just had to watch from the side at the same time. It was indeed so embarrassing that she felt like dying. JrNovels.com
