Xavier, though strict with his subordinates, was never stingy. He promoted Leonard and doubled his salary.

Leonard's cold face showed no emotion, but as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask Xavier, "Mr. Lane, is Kiki really going to marry into the Shaw family?"

Leonard had heard some rumors about Xavier and Tristan being close friends.

Xavier didn't deny it. "Yes. She's engaged."

A strange expression flickered across Leonard's face at those words. "Mr. Lane, Kiki is a friend of your wife's. Could you do me a favor and ask Tristan to let Kiki go? He shouldn't marry her."

Xavier didn't understand what Leonard was implying. Instead of asking why, he coldly replied, "Mr. Cook, we only have a professional relationship. I don't make it a habit to interfere in other people's personal affairs. If you don't want Kiki to marry Tristan, you should talk to both of them directly."

He despised getting involved in others' relationships.

Upon hearing that, Leonard could only leave without a word.

As soon as Leonard was gone, Mark couldn't help but comment, "Mr. Lane, he must think you're some kind of relationship guru."

"Do you have nothing better to do?" Xavier shot back.

Mark immediately clammed up and returned to work.
