Chapter 1387


    Xante smiled. “You’re overestimating yourself. Newmoon Group can more than afford to lose the


    business you bring us. I appreciate all the romantic gestures you’ve done for me tonight, but you


    should know I’m not the young girl I once was. Frankly, these things embarrassed me.”


    Shawn felt a pang of hurt in his chest. Frowning, he said, “Xante, I…”


    Xante did not want to hear what he had to say anymore, so she shouted toward the private room,


    “Aaron!”


    “Coming!” Aaron immediately ran out of the private room.

    Xante threw a set of car keys toward him. “You haven’t drunk any alcohol, so you can drive me home.


    Bring the car around, and let’s get out of here.”


    Aaron caught the car keys and said under his breath, “What does she think I am? Her driver?”


    Xante ignored Aaron and walked toward the entrance. She waited for him to bring the car around.


    Very quickly, Aaron arrived with the car, and Xante got into it.


    As soon as she got into the car, Aaron joked, “Xante, your ex-boyfriend might not be the important


    person he thinks he is, but his phone does hold the power to a lot of megapanies’ resources. Are


    you sure it’s okay to turn him down like that?”


    Xante gave him a side-eye. “Should I introduce you to him, then? You can exchange all the resources


    you like with him once you two are together.”


    “No way! I’m straight, okay?!”


    Xante ignored him.


    She knew Shawn could still prove useful to her. That was why she kept in contact with him in the first


    ce. However, she knew he would think he still had a chance with her if she continued to keep in


    contact with him after what happened.


    If they continued to be friends, Shawn would use the resources he had as a bargaining chip, and that


    would make Xante’s life even more difficult. Thus, cutting him off was the best course of action. After


    all, there would always be other ways to acquire more resources.


    ‘I must’ve been blind to fall for him when I was young,’ she thought. The only feeling she had toward a


    maniptive man like Shawn was repulsion.


    Suddenly, Xante looked out of the window and realized the car was not taking the familiar route home,


    so she asked Aaron, “Where are we going?”


    “To the Riveras’ mansion to see how the boss is doing. I heard Jeremy is flying to Molomia tonight to


    take care of the Sophia problem. I’m quite worried the boss will be in a bad mood, so let’s pop in for a


    visit.”


    Xante’s face immediately darkened at the mention of the Riveras’ mansion.


    Seeing this, Aaron raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you afraid of bumping into


    Sunny there?”


    Xante frowned. “I’m not scared. It’s just that… I’m tired and I want to go home.”


    “Okay. We’ll go home, then.”


    “Oh, forget it! I’m worried about the boss too, so let’s head over to the Riveras’ mansion.”
