Pretending that nothing out of the ordinary had happened, Xie Eun made her way back to the private room where the two men were waiting. With a smile she joined went back to her seat, enjoying a peaceful moment as the two men continued to chat. Soon after, she felt Sir Xiao's inquisitive gaze on her. Giving him an innocent glance, Xie Eun quietly ate her dessert.
A few minutes later, a crisp knock sounded on the door and one of Sir Xiao's guards walked in and before bending and whispering something in the old man's ears. His eyebrows raised, Sir Xiao threw another glance at Xie Eun before nodding to the guard. After which, he placed down the cutlery in his hands and excused himself," My grand daughter is feeling unwell. She had recently returned from overseas and is not used to the change in the seasons. I hope the two of you will excuse me. Our discussion, it seems was not to happen today."
