"That was a close call," Selene sighed, cing her hand on her chest. She looked up at the stairs that led to Xavier’s study room.
He had been busy with both his work and his other business. But somehow, he always managed to squeeze in time to help her with her revenge.
Selene went into the kitchen to bring him some juice.
Kace saw her action and a smile yed on his lips.
Selene knocked on the door before entering. She found Xavier sitting on his chair so elegantly, while his pair of sses hung on his nose bridge.
That was the first time she saw him wearing sses, and he looked even more handsome with it. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his tattooed hands.
When Xavier’s gazended on her, she felt her legs wobble for a second there before she bnced herself.
"I brought you juice." She ced the ss of mango juice on the desk.
Xavier stared at it before his gaze returned to her.
"I wanted to thank you for helping me with Michelle earlier," she said, her legs fighting to stand straight while her hands yed with each other so she wouldn’t look like a statue.
"What have I told you about thanking me?" He asked her.
"I still need to thank you," she said. "It’s not every day we have someone who can do things for us," she added.
"Well, now you do. I will do everything you ask me to do," Xavier responded while her breath hitched.
Not sure of how to reply to that, she simply nodded her head and turned, about to leave.
"Wait," Xavier stopped her. "Thewyer ising with your property papers tomorrow. The court has approved of it."
If there had been anything in Selene’s hand, Xavier was sure she would have let go of it. Because, the way she stood and stared at him, it was obvious she was shocked.
"Really? That was fast. I thought it would take months before it got approved," she wondered.
It had been a while since she got her signed property papers. Since then, she hadn’t received any feedback from Xavier regarding it because she was aware anything that involved the court always took time.
Xavier gave her a small smile. Selene didn’t need to ask anymore to know that Xavier must have done something. Either way, she appreciated his help.
"Since you don’t need to go to the set tomorrow, we will discuss everything," he said.
Selene nodded in understanding before she exited the study room.
She nearly skipped downstairs in joy. Since Kace would be spending the night, the both of them watched a movie until Xavier urged Selene to go to bed.
It was morning, and Selene was all dressed up to wee thewyer. She had woken up quite earlier than she thought she would, all because she was excited about holding her property papers in her hands.
Thewyer, dressed in a neatly ironed ck suit, walked into the living room with Xavier.
Selene frowned lightly. She had thought thewyer was the same as the one who handled her contract with Klerene, but she was wrong.
Thewyer standing in front of her lookedpletely different. The air surrounding him made it difficult for her to breathe. He had a stoic expression as he stared at her head, before nodding as a form of greeting.
Selene feltpelled to return it.
Even though she wasn’t a criminal, she felt like thewyer could read her mind. She couldn’t help but wonder how actual criminals felt.
"Good morning, Mrs. Wace. I am attorney Dominic Kingsley," he introduced himself.
’Even his name feels heavy to say,’ Selene thought to herself, a little baffled with the way he addressed her.
The both of them went to sit on the couch. Xavier sat down beside Selene, making her feel easy with his presence.
The attorney brought out the property papers, handing it over to her.
"These are your property papers. It has been approved by the court, and all you need to do is get Robert Harrison to sign them. As soon as he signs them, everything he owns will be in your name," he exined.
