She has a bad feeling about what he said earlier. At that moment, there are many scenarios that pop up in her mind.
She immediately caught up with Xeno, putting the goods in his car. She looked at his car and recognized it as the latest Aston Martin model.
However, since she's too worried about something, she did not pay attention to it.
"No. I'll drive my car to my place first to put the raw foods in my condo before we go to where I want to go. Okay?"
She's completely lost in thought. It's better if it's just Xeno who knows where she lives.
It's definitely a different person. Ryan. That name still hunts her like crazy. Andrea had a bad feeling and it's giving her chills. Although she didn't see his face yet for a reason that they haven't met in person.
"Oh ahmm.. okay, since I already put the goods here in my car. I'll follow you." Xeno noticed how bothered she was.
Andrea immediately nodded her head and headed directly to where her car was. She starts the car and drives off. While on the way, she dialed a number and a woman answered in another line.
"I think there's something fishy with Xeno Louindelle assistant. I recalled his name is Ryan, do you think it's the same person?" Andrea asked.
"Shit! I'll investigate it for you, babe. For the meantime, stay away from that man. My gut is telling me that he's bad news."
"Okay, I will. I'll update you for some news soon."
"Sure thing."
She ended her call and while driving, she couldn't help but think about the man who ordered to abduct her and tortured her. She felt a slight sting in her heart. That was the darkest moment of her life.
In 20 minutes, they both reached her condominium. She parked her car and she saw that Xeno parker his car beside hers.
He's still wearing a mask when he got out. Then he went to the back to get her groceries. Andrea walked to the elevator and Xeno followed her behind.
When they both got in the elevator. She never heard silence quite this loud. No one dares to speak.
On the other side, Xeno gazed at Andrea. He noticed that she's been different from the moment they got out of the supermarket. He thought back and a sudden thought came to his mind.
In Room 108, Andrea opened the door and walked in. Since the thoughts are clouding her mind, she didn't sense the existence of the other person with her.
"This is your place? It's beautiful."
That was when she got back from her senses and she was startled by the thought of Xeno being here in her own room.
She immediately grabbed the raw food and arranged it in her refrigerator. She also puts some snacks in. There's a reason she bought tons of snacks with her. Earlier, she thought of going THERE...
Minutes of arranging and she finally puts all her needs. She immediately went to her room and changed her clothes.
She's now wearing a white v-neck T-shirt with some simple flowery designs paired with black denim.
She walked to the living room and saw Xeno looking at the view outside the window. He's not wearing his mask anymore so she can see his features quite well.
"I admit that this place is good,"
"Of course it is. Now since we're done here, you can leave." Xeno seemed like he didn't listen to her and continued to gaze outside.
"You know what, you've been acting weird once I mentioned the name Ryan. Do you know him?" Andrea's heart beats fast like it's going to explode.
He's suspecting something.
"No, I don't know him."
Xeno finally turned to look at her. They stared for a couple of seconds before she heard him speak.
"Ah-ha! You're Ryan's mistress, right!"
Andrea didn't say a word. He still didn't forget our topic earlier? Is this man's fucking dumb?
"I'm gonna beat that asshole to pulp." Andrea saw his fist tightened.
"Tssk. Hold your horses. You got the wrong idea, Mr. Louindelle. It's just.....there's someone I knew named Ryan a long time ago."
Xeno looked at her...he's confused.
"Okay. Do you have any chance to have a picture of your assistant?" She walked towards him.
"Yes. I have but I'm not showing it, you might fall in love with him."
This man!
"No. Definitely not."
"Hmm okay." He shrugged his shoulders. He showed her his phone and clicked on a photo.
Andrea remembered that someone said, Ryan has a scar on his left cheek. And as she looked at the photo. The face of a man with the same age as Xeno looked nice and neat. His face was clean and she didn't see any scar at all.
She let out a big breath. It's not him.
"It's definitely not him."
Xeno sighs of relief.
"Okay, good then." Xeno wears his handsome smile once again.
They're both back to themselves and the atmosphere is lighter now.
"Say... Darling, do you wanna live with me?"
"No." She immediately replied.
"I still don't trust you fully so mind your distance and for your information, this is just for show, right?"
Xeno didn't answer her and she saw him staring at her lips.
"I'll earn your trust then." he smirked.
Andrea turned her back to Xeno and grabbed the remaining tons of snacks on the couch.
"Since you're here and I know you won't leave the hell out of me, help me with this, we're going somewhere." She said as she handed him the big plastic bag.
"Sure, darling."
When they both got out of the room, they saw Kyle. From the look of him, his cute face became serious for a bit.
"Andrea, I didn't know you had a boyfriend."
Andrea felt a tension in the air especially to the man beside her. And when she was about to speak, Xeno cuts her sentence.
"Yes, she now has a boyfriend. You have a problem with that." Xeno held her waist possessively. She froze.
Kyle's expression changed immediately from serious to cheerful.
"Ohh! So that's it, I'm sorry for meddling. Congratulations, Andrea. I can finally see you having a happy relationship." Kyle turned to her direction, he has the same height as Xeno but he's younger than him.
After Kyle smiled at her, he turned to face Xeno's gaze and whispered to him something.
Andrea didn't hear what Kyle said but she felt that the hands of Xeno in her waist tightened as if he's getting angry.
With that, Kyle left them both and went to the room beside hers.
She looked at Xeno beside her and she saw him rubbing his nose before walking to the elevator and getting in.
"You should really come and live with me. I don't trust that guy." From his tone, she can feel him getting pissed.
"He's a nice guy, besides we've been neighbors for a year now. I trust him." Andrea is quite pissed too when he heard him insulting Kyle. She treats him like a little brother.
"Nice? Ah! As if. Just stay away from him."
"No. You can't just command me like that. He's younger than me and I treat him like a little brother and he treats me like his big sister."
Andrea loosened herself from Xeno's hold and moved away from him a bit.
Xeno's expression changed drastically and now he looks like a puppy getting scolded by its owner.
"I'm sorry, darling. I just....don't want any man talking to you."
She stared at him with disbelief.
"Hmmp! You don't own me, remember?"
Andrea can feel the sadness in his eyes and the following event didn't even process in her brain. She just did it.
She gave him a peck on the cheek and that was when the elevator opened.
Andrea walked out first and immediately, embarrassed.
"We're using my car." Xeno said from behind and he's smiling like a fool.
"No, we're using mine." Andrea argued with him for a whole 5 damn minutes before she decided to go with his car.
"I don't want a girl driving for me." She hissed at what he said and directly went to the back seat.
"What are you doing there? Come here in front." He laughed a little.
Andrea remembered what happened earlier and now she can feel the heat on her cheeks. She definitely doesn't want him to see her like this.
"No, you might do something unpleasant." Andrea crossed her hands while looking at Xeno in the driver's seat.
"Woman, I won't do anything to you. And speaking of which, you're making me look like a taxi driver. I'm too handsome to be one."
"Tssk. You are really full of yourself huh. I'm impressed by your confidence."
"Well then, thank you. So now, come here in front or we are not going anywhere."
Left with no choice. She angrily went to the passenger's seat and closed the door..hard.
"Be careful, you might hit yourself." He smiled before driving off.
