Passion 85

Chapter 85

Xavier hated these fake promotional activities that were just to sell an image. He was about to refuse on principle, but the words that slipped out of his mouth were, “Okay.”

“I’ll go and get ready.” Yvette turned and walked out.

Before she got to the door, Xavier’s deep, slightly raspy voice came from behind her. “If we’re visiting the children, I think you should put on more clothes.”

Yvette was startled. She looked down and realized that two of her buttons had come undone.

The weather was too hot, and after she’d unfastened them in her office, she’d forgotten to button it up again. When she came out of the restroom, she was bright red with embarrassment.

As she was walking along with her head lowered, she bumped into someone.

“I’m sorry.” Yvette looked up into Tristan’s handsome, aristocratic face.

She shuddered involuntarily and took a step back, trying to put some distance between them. She

could not avoid meeting Tristan while working at Titan Corporation.

Most of the time, she would take a detour, but she had accidentally bumped right into him today. Yvette felt very nervous, and she was ready for him to insult her.

Tristan took her behavior in, and his throat tightened. He was afraid that he would scare her, so he said nothing and went straight to Xavier’s office.

Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. Tristan was a vengeful person. She had already angered him once

when she went on a blind date in Kiki’s place.

Although he hadn’t retaliated at the bar, it didn’t mean that he would not do so in the future. Sometimes, Tristan was more terrifying than Xavier was.

Xavier never hit women, and the worst that he could do was to give them the silent treatment.

However, Tristan was ruthless with women.

She remembered when she had accidentally bumped into Tristan once. A month later, she had been dragged out into the countryside and dumped there to fend for herself. Yvette could not help feeling

afraid.

In the CEO’s office, Tristan pushed the door open

“Xay, I heard Mark say that you’re advertising for an executive CEO?” he asked at once.

Xavier frowned, his voice rather hoarse. “In the future, knock before you enter.”

Tristan was startled. Whenever he had come here in the past, he never had to knock.

However, Xavier didn’t seem to be in a good mood, so he had no choice but to acquiesce. “Alright.”

Tristan and Xavier weren’t just the friends that everyone thought they were. Their relationship was now like that of brothers.

He did not understand. “Can you really trust someone else in the position of executive CEO?* He added, “The other members of the Lane family all have their eyes on this position.”

In the past, Xavier would have been wary, but now… He laughed contemptuously. “Who among them would dare?”

Tristan saw how confident he was, and suddenly remembered that both Titan Corporation and

Lane Group were now managed by Xavier.

Apart from one person, there probably wasn’t anyone who would dare to compete with him. However, that person wouldn’t compete, either.

Tristan sat on the sofa in Xavier’s office and leaned back lazily. “It’s true that no one would dare to try and take that position right now. Oh, right. Xavier, just now I met Yv- I mean, I met that deaf woman. What was she doing here?”

He did not know why, but he did not want Xavier to know that his attitude toward Yvette had changed. He also did not want to tell Xavier that Yvette had once saved him.

Privately, he hoped that Xavier would continue treating Yvette coldly. He did not know why he felt that

way.

Xavier realized that Tristan had always been unusually attentive to Yvette. It did not seem to be pure

dislike.

After many years, Xavier finally realized that it wasn’t dislike. It was an attraction to her. It was to get Yvette’s attention!

Tristan was behaving like a young boy who had just started having feelings for someone. The more he liked her, the more he liked bothering her.

“She asked me to go and see the disabled children that we’re sponsoring,” Xavier said.

Tristan knew that Xavier did not like attending these events, so he said, “I’ll go in your stead.”
