After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 94 Caught in the Act While Snooping

Isabel froze for a moment before turning around to look.

"I tried calling you earlier, but you didn't pick up."

"Sorry, I just realized my phone was on silent," Xander replied, giving Isabel a quick look-over. His expression softened when he found she was unharmed.

Then, his eyes shifted to the group of security guards.

With one stern glance, they began to tremble.

"Who gave you the nerve to lay a hand on her? She's my wife!"

Upon hearing that, the security guards nearly cried.

"I-it wasn't us! The receptionist said she was here to cause trouble. It's all her fault!" they stammered, pointing at the receptionist.

The receptionist, already scared, began to break down under the blame.

"I-I didn't know... I thought she was causing trouble!"

"Fire her. She's damaging the company's reputation," Isabel said firmly to Xander.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you," Xander agreed, turning to Leo. "Take care of this. Don't let her work here again."

The receptionist collapsed to the floor in regret. There was no turning back now.

Isabel lifted the lunch box. "I made a few dishes. Let's head upstairs to eat."

"Hmm." Xander nodded, reaching out to take the lunch box.

Leo tried to help, but Xander kept the box himself as he and Isabel walked to the elevator together, standing side by side, perfectly in sync.

As the elevator doors closed, Leo blinked.

He got it now. No wonder the boss didn't want him to carry the lunch box-he was the third wheel.

Inside the CEO's office, Isabel ate her meal while subtly looking around.

She thought it would be hard to search if Xander stayed here the whole time, so she needed to find a way to remain.

Meanwhile, Xander was thinking of ways to keep her around until the workday ended. But no matter how he tried, he couldn't come up with a valid excuse. Both of them finished their meal lost in thought.

Isabel faked a small yawn and casually sat on the couch. "I didn't sleep well last night. Do you mind if I take a nap here?"

Xander felt a rush of happiness but kept his face neutral.

"Not at all. Go ahead."

Great, the plan goes so smoothly!
