Chapter 91: Looking Out For Her

Xavier could clearly see everyone's eyes on him as he was heading to the stage. After all his efforts to stay away from the press concerning the issue of working as Sarah's personal assistant in her former company, he was finally going to reveal to everyone if he was true or not and why he decided to do that. One thing was sure: after the ceremony, he was going to make the MC pay for humiliating him before everyone; he wasn't Sarah, she was the only one who could humiliate him and go scot-free. Once he got to the stage, he glared angrily at the MC before sitting down. "Welcome to the stage, Mr. Xavier Quim," the MC said to him. "Thank you," Xavier said to him, his voice void of emotion. "Actually, there have been some rumors circulating about you applying to become the personal assistant of Mrs. Sarah Jones, who is the CEO of your former company and also your ex-wife; we wanted to know if it's true or false, and if it's true, then why?" The MC asked him. "Yes, it's true. I applied to become her personal assistant, and mind you, she didn't agree, so I had to include it in the clauses of buying my company, so she had no choice but to accept," Xavier said to the MC, and immediately the audiences, surprised by the news, started murmuringsome words among themselves. "Wow, but do you mind telling us the reason behind such a decision? I mean, not every man would accept to work under his ex-wife, and also in the company he sold out because of financial issues," the MC said to Xavier, who was staring at him with an undisturbed facial expression, but deep down he was boiling in anger. "You are right, not every man would accept to do what I did, but the truth is that I'm planning to work in the company for only a short period of time, once I open a new company which I'm already working on, I will take my leave and secondly I don't see any other company where I would be more comfortable than Quim Corporation, I have been the CEO of the company for years and I have formed a bond with every employee in the company, even if I become a security guard in the company I will still be happy and comfortable because I'm working with the employees who are more than employees to me, but family," Xavier said to MC and immediately some employees who Sarah had invited to the ceremony to represent the other employees stood up and started applauding Xavier. "That's very thoughtful of you, Mr. Xavier, and thank you for also making this issue clearer to everyone. I have a last question, but it's for Mrs. Sarah Jones. I know that I said that the previous question I asked you was the last one, but this one is a bonus. I hope you don't mind." The MC asked Sarah. "No, I don't mind," Sarah said to him. "Okay, the last question goes this way: is your fiancée okay with your ex-husband working as your personal assistant?" The MC asked Sarah, and immediately Xavier smiled inwardly. 'I don't know why, but I like this guy' Xavier thought inwardly. "Yes, he's okay with it; after all, it's not as if we are going to be doing anything wrong, and if there's one thing I'm very good at, it's differentiating work from my personal life; I don't mix the two, and happily, he too is aware of it," Sarah said to the MC, and with that, they turned the light towards Charles, and with that, he smiled before blowing a kiss to Sarah from where he was sitting. "Well, we have come to the end of this interview. Thank you so much for your time, Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Xavier. We really appreciate it, and we wish you more success in your new company," the MC said to Sarah and Xavier before standing up and shaking them, and with that, the audience started applauding them as they were returning to their seats. It was three p.m., almost two hours after the ceremony, and the whole group of invitees had already exited the company. Meanwhile, Xavier, who had just finished supervising the employees who were arranging the items used for the ceremony, was returning to his office when he remembered he had something important he wanted to discuss with Sarah. Despite knowing that she wouldn't welcome him in her office, he still decided to go and see her. "Walking to the front of her office, which was formally his office, he placed a soft knock on the door. "Come in," Sarah's voice ordered from inside, and with that, he opened the door and walked in. Once he got in, he saw her immersed in the files on her table while putting on transparent optic glass that made her look like a fashion model. Seeing how cute she was when she was concentrated, Xavier couldn't help but scold himself for hurting her in the past and losing her because of his selfish desires, but one thing was sure: he was going to win her back at all costs. "Xavier !!!" His name sounded in the office, jolting him back to reality. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that she had been calling his name. "Yes, Sarah," Xavier said to her in response. "What's wrong with you? Were you daydreaming about me or what?" Sarah asked him with an angry tone. "What? What makes you think that I was daydreaming about you?" Xavier asked her while feigning ignorance. "Maybe I should have videoed you in order to show you how you were looking at me like a dog looking at the bone that was about to be given to it," Sarah said to Xavier before rolling her eyes at him. "What do you want?" Sarah asked him, not allowing him to reply to what she said to him. "I want to talk to you about Mr. Renold," Xavier said to her. "Yes, what happened to him?" Sarah asked him with furrowed brows. "I want you to fire him," Xavier said to her. "What?" Sarah asked him with furrowed brows. To be continued...
