Hearing the word "Master" again made Isabel's skin crawl with embarrassment. A wave of shame washed over her, leaving her covered in goosebumps.

Seeing her wide-eyed, speechless reaction, Xander found her both amusing and endearing. He hadn't expected her to be so easy to tease.

Mr. Bennett had just discovered a new form of entertainment.

"Uh... "Isabel's gaze swept across the floor, landing on the scattered boxes and papers. During the massage, she had come up with a flimsy excuse, one that might just get her through the situation.

"I saw a rat. I was trying to catch it, and it ran up there. That's how this happened."

Even she didn't believe the lie. Would he?

As Isabel's heart pounded with uncertainty, Xander spoke. "Next time you see something like that, call for help. Falling from up there... You're lucky it's just your back that got hurt. If it had been your head, it could've been a lot worse." He bought it? He actually believed that?

She couldn't even believe it herself.

Isabel's emotions were a mess, but since he had accepted her story, she didn't dare say anything more.

Xander glanced toward the conference room next door. "There are still a few important matters to discuss. You rest here for

Leo followed Xander out.

"Catching a rat, Xander replied with a frown.

"Huh?" Leo blinked in surprise. "Catching a rat? A rat in your office? That's impossible! You're the cleanest person I know. Every time I have the cleaning crew tidy up, I make sure they're extra thorough. There wouldn't even be a fly, let alone a rat!" Xander stopped walking. He already knew something was off.
