Chapter 61 “When did you becsuch a scaredy can Xander teased, a charming smile on his face.

“What are you doing here?” | asked, slightly bewildered.

“I missed you, of course! That's why | Game.” He pressed my body back down onto the chair and reached forward to continue his massage.

| instinctively tried to avoid his hands, but he clampeddown and ordered, Don’t move.” His tone was demanding, which was rare. As his hands worked their magic, using just the right amount of force, | really began to feel like | was in a massage parlor. | let him continue After a while, he retracted his hands and handeda glass of water. “How do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital? “I'm feeling better, no need for hospitals. | still gotta head back to the office for a meeting. | clutched the glass of water in my hands and took a sip from it.

Xander was quiet. He pulled out a chair and sat in front of me. He stared intently a tfor a long while before asking, his tone stern and firm, “Do you really love Theo Grant so much that you're okay with forsaking your health just for him?” | was stunned. “T’'ve always made sure that my work and my personal feelings were separated. You of all people should know that best, right? To me, this is a job, and since I've been asked to do it, I'll give it my very best shot at it.” Since Theo first orderedto manage Nectarine Entertainment, | had never given the job any less than my best just because of Cindy. | always gave it my all.

“But... my heart aches to see you like this.” Xander spoke very seriously. He was usually jolly and happy-go-lucky, so | was not used to him being so serious allo f a sudden. | picked my glass tiponce more and took a sip, an attempt to dissolve the awkwardness in the air.

Fortunately, Heidi cback in the nicko f time. “Wanda, I'm done with the site recce. Other than a few minor details that need to be changed, everything was pretty much perfect.” I nodded in response. “Alright, let's discuss this further once we get back.” | had a lot of confidence in Heidi's skills, s o if she said that schanges needed to be made, those aspects most probably needed alteration “Heidi, you can drive yourself back. I'll send Director Lane back,” Xander stood u p and told Heidi.

Heidi turned to look at me.

Something was not right with Xander today. Sull, | nodded to Heidi and said, I'll see you at the office later.” Xander did not say a word, not even when we got into his car.

Did you have something you wanted to say to me, seeing that you've call the way here today?” If he did not want to start the conversation, | would “As usual, you're brilliant.” Xander smiled and continued, “I heard that Newlight was extremely adamant about the spokesman job. The forces backing them up were far more complex than you thought.” | was taken aback. I did not know what he was talking about, so | continued to listen “It's honestly not that big of a deal, but Ill just let you know that if you really care so much for your Theo Grant, you'd have to carefully consider who the Spokesperson will be. If you anger Newlight, Theo might be their ultimate scapegoat.” That was stunning news to me. | did not know so many forces would be involved with such a small spokesperson role.

“Grant Corporation isn’t as glamorous as you think I'm sure Theo hasn't told you that there's a problem with their cash flow. Not to mention that they're about to expand towards Whaldorf City, which is exactly where Newlight’s background forces are. | don’t need to tell you what will happen then, right?” | was deep in thought. If Xander had toldall that a while ago, | would think he was just joking. However, | now had different thoughts about what he had said, because | now knew was Petra White's son.

His sources had probably not been conjured up out of thin air.

Even though Grant Corporation was growing at a stable rate, a corporation was just like a wall-it might look firm and impenetrable, but once its foundation was slightly rattled, there was a chance of it crashing down.

Why not get another spokesman? I'm totally okay with that. | only brought this up to help you out, that’s all. And because you're my Wandy.” Xander smirked once again.

| did not reply to him as | was carefully weighing my options because | knew he might be right.

There was another voice in my heart that whispered toto believe in Theo, believe that he would be capable enough t o handle everything.

ighing my options because | knew he might be right.

Xander left after droppingoff at the office building When | got back to my office, | was surprised to find Mason sitting there and waiting for me.
