Xyla had always been someone who would do everything she could to get to the bottom of something.
Unless… Yorrick had been toying with her the whole time!
“He wants to play, huh? Let’s play then!’
She made the call, but it did not go through, and it showed that the user had switched off his phone.
Xyla was stunned for a moment before it came to her realization that he had blocked her! No one had
ever, except for Louis, dared to treat her this way.
‘Very well then. You’ve gotten my attention, kid!’
In the hotel suite…
Yorrick came out of the bathroom after taking his bath. While he was wiping his hair with a towel, he
glanced at the phone on the table He stood there for a while before heading to the cupboard and getting
himself a glass and a bottle of dry red wine.
He was pouring the red liquid into the glass when his phone rang. It was an overseas number.”
He answered the phone, and a woman’s voice wafted into his ear. “Hi, Mr.
Hathaway. When are you coming back? I miss you so much.”
It was an unknown number. Yorrick did not have the habit of saving those women’s phone numbers. He
did not even remember their names as they had no strings attached.
He put the wine bottle down and chuckled.
How much do you miss me?” “I miss you so much that I can’t even sleep. Didn’t you promise me that
you’d bring me to the movies next month?”
Gripping on the glass, Yorrick replied, “I’m not free next month.”
“Then when will you be free?” the woman asked coquettishly. “Mr. Hathaway, could it be that you’ve
forgotten me because you have a new woman?”
The woman was complaining, but Yorrick was not paying attention to her. His forte was flirting with
women , but he was not in the mood tonight.
When he heard the doorbell ring, he held his glass of wine against his lips and ended the call without
waiting for the woman to finish.
The doorbell rang a few more times, and
when Yorrick opened the door, he saw Xyla. She had covered her face entirely and was standing with
her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Xyla removed the sunglasses and the face mask. She looked at him intently and said,” How dare you,
Yorrick? How dare you toy me around like a fool? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation tonight, I
won’t go away.”
Yorrick looked at her for a while before leaning against the door and chuckled. ‘Didn’t I already make
myself very clear? Our deal is over. You’re not suitable for me, Ms. Mayweather.”
Xyla pushed him into the room, the force so strong that Yorrick stumbled a few steps back. She closed
the door and stood behind the door. “You were the one who approached me, and you’re the one who
ended our deal without giving me an explanation. If you think I’m not good at acting, then you should
have told me earlier.”
Xyla walked closer to her and tapped his shoulder with her finger. “It was three months initially, and I can
understand that you shortened it to one month because you wanted to end it earlier. But you suddenly
said I’m not fit to continue the performance for no reason and ended our contract directly. You wasted
half a month of my time. If this is not fooling me around, then what is?”
Yorrick lowered his head to look at the finger on his shoulder. He lifted his eyelids and said, “So this is
why you came for me?”
He waved her finger away and approached her. He stretched his arm forward and pressed it on the wall
next to her face.” Although I ended the deal, I’ve paid you as well. Isn’t that enough to cover the half
month you’ve lost?”
Xyla pushed him away and said, “Why should I take your money? $15,000,000, right?”
She pulled a $15,000,000-cheque out of her purse and threw it in his face. “I won’t take your money for
nothing. I would take it if you gave it to me according to the deal. But you’re toying me around like a
monkey. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Do you really like to show off your wealth so much?”
