Kevin raised an eyebrow . " You really are clueless . To Mr. Xavier , Yulia is ancient history - the kind he has zero interest in revisiting . And you're bothering him over someone like that ? No wonder he snapped . " The assistant hesitated . " So .... what do I do now ? " " Do ? " Kevin scoffed . " Do nothing . Let her rot down there . " Yulia was on the first floor , and Mr. Xavier always used the underground garage . Their paths would never cross . - " Oh - and send two people to keep an eye on her . Make sure she doesn't get anywhere near the garage . " " Got it . I'll take care of it ." The assistant turned to leave , but Kevin stopped her . " One more thing . From now on , Ms. Becky is Mr. Xavier's one and only . As his assistants , we need to have eyes . When you see Ms. Becky , you treat her like she's your own precious treasure . " The assistant gasped . " Ms. Becky ? But wasn't she his ex - wife ? " - and that they'd divorced . Everyone at Glory Corp knew Xavier had once been married to Becky But what they didn't know was that the two were very much back together . Kevin leaned in with a smirk and lowered his voice . " She gave Mr. Xavier a son . " The assistant's eyes widened . " What ?! When did that happen ? " " She was pregnant before the divorce . The baby's already here The assistant clapped a hand over her mouth . - seven , eight months old . " Mr. Xavier had always kept his personal life locked down tight . If Becky hadn't tipped off a journalist back then , no one would've known a thing . And afterward , he'd ordered all online content related to their marriage scrubbed clean . Even the divorce only came to light because someone leaked it by accident . " So ... are they remarried ? " Kevin shook his head . " Not yet . But I'd bet it's coming soon ." He'd seen the way Mr. Xavier had been smiling lately . That last business trip ? He'd cut it short and raced home . It had to be for Ms. Becky . Now that there was a kid between them , it was just a matter of time . The assistant nodded eagerly . " Thanks for the heads - up ! I know what to do now . " A good assistant needed to know who was in and who was out . The current woman ? Treat her like royalty . The ex ? Block her at the door . Kevin nodded , pleased . " Get to work . " " Right . " Kevin stepped into Xavier's office . " Sir , Mr. Errol is celebrating his eightieth birthday tomorrow . He's extended an invitation . " Officially , it was a birthday banquet . But everyone knew these gatherings were matchmaking events in disguise . All the top families would be there , bringing their unmarried sons and daughters , hoping to arrange alliances . A man like Mr. Xavier - the ultimate bachelor - was the centerpiece . Everyone believed he was still single , and they'd all be out for blood . Xavier understood exactly what Kevin meant . He asked , " Evening or midday ? " " Evening . " " Alright . That's all ." Kevin turned to leave . As he walked out , a knowing smile tugged at his lips . Mr. Xavier's definitely bringing Ms. Becky . - Yulia stayed at the building until nearly everyone had clocked out . Glory Corp was almost empty . and she still hadn't seen Xavier once . When she tried to head toward the garage , two security guards blocked her path and began tailing her closely . She had no choice but to leave . Becky climbed into Xavier's car . Her phone buzzed Lyle had messaged to say he'd be visiting in three days . She tapped out a quick reply . Once she set her phone down , Xavier spoke . " Becky , Mr. Errol is celebrating his eightieth birthday tomorrow. Will you come with me ? " She didn't even look up . " Nope . Don't have time . " " It's in the evening . It won't interfere with work ." " Still don't want to go ." " Come on . If you don't go , I'll be in serious danger . " Becky gave him a look . " Danger ? Someone trying to kidnap you ? Just bring more bodyguards . What do you need me for ? " Xavier replied with a straight face , " You're underestimating the threat level . Look at me - I'm handsome , rich , powerful . Women are lining up to pounce . You sure I'm safe out there on my own ? " Becky burst out laughing . " Wow , Narcissist of the year ." " I'm serious . Help me out - I need you to fend off the goblins ." She hesitated , then nodded . She hated those high - society gatherings , but she didn't want her bed partner being sized up like meat either . A little show of dominance wouldn't hurt . Xavier lit up like a kid at Christmas . He pulled her in and planted a kiss on her cheek . P P Chapter 219 Staking a Claim Becky blushed and wiped her face twice , glaring at him in mock outrage . Xavier grinned . " What are you wiping for ? It's not like this is our first kiss . " Becky shot back , " You had garlic for lunch , didn't you ? Your breath stinks . " Xavier : "... " He definitely did not eat garlic . Still , she'd said it . Fine . He'd go brush his teeth five times when they got home . Yulia stepped out of the cab and spotted Quincy waiting by her front door . Her face expressionless , she walked past . Quincy stepped forward , smiling , and reached for her arm - but she dodged him without hesitation . Send Gifts
