Nonetheless, Yulissa was not about to give up. Although she was in a separate guest room, her thoughts were still on Xavier.

After pulling out several gowns from her suitcase, she immediately headed for Xavier’s room.

Whatever it is, he’s still a red-blooded male. There’s no way he won’t have any reaction if I get changed in front of him.

However, she had just stepped out of her room when she saw Louis going into Xavier’s room.

Louis had two boxes in his hands and was probably taking something to Xavier.

After he went in, Yulissa tiptoed over and leaned against the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Mr. Xavier, I’ve prepared the gift for Old Mr. Fairchild. As for this other one, I’ve had it blessed and gotten Mrs. Fairchild’s name engraved on it.”

“Got it. Just leave them there. By the way, did you drop anything in my car? A badge, for example?”

“No. I’ve never worn them before.”

“Okay. My phone has run out of juice. Help me make a call to Josiah.”

“Sure.” Louis quickly dialed Josiah’s number. “He’s on the line.”

Xavier’s voice rang out again as he asked Josiah, “Do you own a black badge? I see. Then it must be someone else’s… I’m fine. You should get some rest.”

Soon after the conversation ended, Yulissa heard Louis’ footsteps and quickly hid before he opened the door and came out.

Then, she waited until Louis was gone before knocking on the door.
