"I don't know."

�Don't make assumptions then. We're close." Xavier tapped her nose affectionately and let her go, smiling in satisfaction. Speechless, Leia gasped and clenched her fists.

She was angry with Xavier, but she was angrier at herself for giving in. He always knew how to break down her defenses, giving her no way to resist.

Maybe it was because of his confidence, but she always felt like she was at his mercy in this battle of love.

�What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to say such boring things to me." After calming down, she put some distance between them and asked coldly.

"I came to see my friend, but I think it's more important to talk to you since I've found you here." After checking his watch, Xavier asked,

"Are you free? Let's have a drink in the cafe downstairs."

"No, I'm busy," Leia said bluntly and wanted to leave, but Xavier grabbed her hand and pulled her to the elevator, saying, "No, you're free, trust me."

�Hey! Xavier, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Furious, Leia tried to pull away, but was ultimately dragged into the elevator with him.

�Waiter, I would like one iced Americano and one Cappuccino," Xavier called out to a waiter the instant they arrived at the cafe.

Although they had only dated briefly, he remembered all of Leia's preferences. Though he seemed carefree and uncommitted, that wasn't the case at all.

�What is it you want to talk about? Hurry up, I have things to do." After Leia sat down, she crossed her arms and urged him impatiently.

�What�s the rush? There�s nothing urgent we have to do. Isn�t it nice to relax, have some coffee, and get to know each other better?� Xavier crossed his legs, rested his chin on his hand and watched her, smirking lazily.

�Don�t you have anything better to do, Xavier?� Leia said through gritted teeth. Her patience was running out, and she wasn�t as shameless as the mean seated opposite her.

�Nope, the most important thing for me to do is to be with you,� Xavier said flirtatiously as he sipped his coffee.

�You�re crazy!� Leia pretended to vomit at his cheesy line.

After a brief silence, Xavier asked casually, �I heard you�re going to join a love reality show that�s scripted to have you dating Santiago?�

�It�s a rumor!� Leia declared.

Xavier�s joy lasted less than a second as Leia added proudly, �I�m going to date Mr. Dalton; it�s not scripted at all!�

�Leia Osborne!� Xavier called her by her full name for the first time, his tone threatening.

�What�s the matter, Mr. Stuart?� Leia asked smugly, overjoyed at having pissed him off.

�Are you trying to make me mad?� Xavier glared at her icily. �It�s normal for couples to fight, but if you insist on bringing in another person, the damage will be irreversible.�

�A couple?� Leia raised her brows in amusement.

�You and I? Or do you mean Mr. Dalton and I? If it�s the former, I think you�d better go see a JrNovels.com
