Upon seeing the look in Yulissa’s eyes, Xavier drew his brows together.

After a moment of hesitation, he raised his hand to caress her cheek. “Next time. As long as you don’t leave without saying goodbye again, we have all the time in the world.”

With that, he turned and left, not sparing her another glance.

Josiah hurried after him.

Once they were out of the control room, he questioned, “What the hell are you doing? Where are you going? Aren’t you supposed to stay? You were worried about not finding Yulissa a few days ago, but now she’s here in front of you. Haven’t you decided to find an ordinary woman? She’s the best choice here. I’d say she looks even more graceful in comparison to a few years ago, and she seems quite the match for you.”

Despite the long speech Josiah gave to Xavier, Xavier said dismissively, “We have a long way to go. Maybe next time.”

“I say you’ve been bewitched! Who was the one who was worried he was insane and came to me for ideas? Winnie has someone to take care of if she’s feeling unwell. Maybe she’ll be fine after a night’s sleep. Your problem will only worsen!”

A headache began to form in Xavier’s head as he listened to Josiah, and he could not help but quicken his pace.

Right then, he encountered the security guards who were on their way back.

“Mr. Fairchild, sorry, but we’ve lost her. We only found one of her high heels.”

Xavier furrowed his brows. After taking the high heel from the security guard, he threw it at Josiah, who was still incessantly chattering away.

“If you’re that free, send Yulissa back so that I don’t have to make any more arrangements.”

Josiah was rendered speechless at that. Is she your first girlfriend or mine?
