"What is it?" Lanni felt knots in her stomach. Considering how strangely Xiehan had been acting lately, it was impossible to not feel nervous about whatever was going on through his mind.
She held her breath for seconds until she heard him say, "I have to leave."
"Leave?" No matter how hard she tried to guess, she would never have come to the conclusion that she would hear such words so she was confused. "What do you mean 'leave'? Why do you want to leave and where do you want to go?"
He held her hand to soothe her emotions and calm her down before he answered her questions. "To an island. I mentioned before that I will have to take over the company, right?"
She nodded, but she still wondered why he had to take it over when he clearly didn't want to. When she thought about it, she concluded that he must be doing it to help decrease his father's work load.
