Chapter 25
So, it turned out to be that way?
Zivon was a little surprised. He has always been very vigorous and resolute in the business market and he would never involve his own personal feelings. On the contrary, Stefan actually placed his feelings first before everything else?
"Chairman Talton, you handle things differently compared to me. I think we will have a new experience if we collaborate. In addition, my wife and I have a very good relationship now."
As Zivon spoke, he wrapped his arm around Xavia's waist to pull her closer to his side.
His action came so suddenly and Xavia was completely caught off guard.
Her nostrils were filled with his fresh and pleasant scent that smelled like the sun shining on the bamboo forest after the rain. His lukewarm arm was wrapped around her waist. She felt a hint of uneasiness in her heart as her breathing accelerated.
They agreed to put on an act, but he never said anything about hugging!
But she couldn't push him away at all due to the circumstances.
Stefan looked at their intimate actions and he smiled gently.
"It is indeed fortunate to see Chairman Burton, who is as cold as an iceberg, actually loves his wife so much. If both of you don't mind, why don't you accompany me to taste the Portuguese wine that I brewed myself so that you can give me some comments on it?"
What he meant was that he accepted them and would like to continue communicating with them.
Zivon, who had also done a certain amount of research on wine, said elegantly, "Naturally, yes."
He then walked toward the winery with his arm around Xavia. On the way, he continued to speak eloquently while maintaining his handsome and gentlemanly appearance.
However, Xavia couldn't act naturally at all.
She followed Zivon, feeling as though there was an electric current in her bloodstream coming from his hand through her clothes. She had never been so close to a man before aside from that night.
And this man was actually Zivon!
She wanted to move away because she felt very uneasy and uncomfortable.
Zivon noticed her actions. When he looked down, he saw that she was blushing and looking extremely ashamed on her pinkish and beautiful face. So he lowered his voice and said, "We are just acting, so why are you blushing?"

He spoke in a voice that could only be heard by the both of them. The distance between them was extremely close and his breath that was lingering around Xavia's ears made her feel warm and itchy. She fett even more embarrassed at this time as she said, "I...I am not used to this. Do you think that everyone is like you? After hugging so many women, you would feel the same way no matter who you hug. Hmph." Content belongs to Novelxo.org
She pulled his hand away and walked ahead of him.
Zivon narrowed his eyes. What she said made it seem as though he was a very frivolous person whereas she was a very staid person. Was she sure that she didn't mean the opposite?
Since they were at a winery, it was only natural for them to be drinking wine during dinner.
Xavia had never drank wine before, but since the big boss was being so hospitable, she naturally had to show him some respect and drink. And so, Xavia had a whole glass of wine and got drunk. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
Zivon knitted his brows together when he saw her lying on the table with a flushed face.
This woman actually had such a low alcohol tolerance?
Helplessly, Zivon could only suspend his discussion with Stefan for the day before carrying her in his arms and leaving.
Outside, when Nathan saw Zivon walking out with Xavia in his arms, his eyes widened in shock.
The young master had always been
very high and mighty. What he hated the most was to have contact with irrelevant women, let alone a woman like Xavia who was notorious and frivolous. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
He ran over quickly.. "Young master, I'll carry her for you."
"Don't worry about it," Zivon said indifferently before he placed Xavia into the car. After that, he got into the car in a noble manner. "Return to the villa."
Nathan was puzzled.
The young master actually did it so naturally? Was this still the indifferent young
master who had excellent self-restraint?!
Why did he feel as though Zivon was treating Xavia differently?
Nathan naturally didn't dare to say anything else and started the drive home
respectfully.
There was a short, bumpy section on the mountain road and the car ride was very
bumpy.
Zivon often went to various different kinds of places for investigation, and this
included mountain roads and he was already used to it.
However, a drunken Xavia was unable to support herself, so when the car ride got
bumpy, she fell onto Zivon's body immediately.
