Chapter 571

Everyone around her fell silent.

It wasn’t until another secretary seated next to her asked, ” Daisy, do you feel unwell?” did Daisy snap
back to attention with a shake of her head. “No, I’m fine.”

As the work day was almost coming to an end, her phone rang, and she saw an incoming text from
Xavier.

“Dinner?”

Daisy was slightly annoyed, but upon recalling how Xavier had helped her, she decided to reply
anyway.

“Sure. Come over and pick me up.”

She had just clicked on “Send” when the sound of familiar footsteps could be heard coming from the
other end of the corridor.

Xavier walked toward her and waved the phone in his hand. “Turns out that it was a good idea for me
to come in advance. At least you have enough of a heart to agree to a meal with me.”

Daisy was slightly taken aback at his appearance. “Why are you here?”

Xavier took over her bag. “Since it’s a date, of course, I have to prepare in advance.”

A serial sweet-talker, a man like him, would naturally avoid telling Daisy that he was actually here
because of Weston.



His spy in the company informed him that a representative from a distributor who had never appeared
before came looking for Weston.

This made him curious, and he naturally wouldn’t give up the chance to snoop around.

He was just about to begin investigating the distributor when he saw Weston carrying Guinevere out.
He decided against creating more trouble for Weston, and instead came over to look for Daisy.

Daisy took his word for it that he had specially come looking for her, and she felt touched amidst her
mixed feelings.” Don’t do this again. It’s better that we meet outside of the office. It’ll be hard to explain
things if Mr. Ford sees us…”

“What’s so hard to explain?”

Xavier found her concerns unfounded and lifted his hand to caress her face. “Is there a need to explain
anything, given our relationship now?”



Daisy tightened her grip over her bag and glanced at the secretary’s room behind her.

The secretaries in the room were smart enough not to stare at them, but she knew that they were
probably gossiping under their breath about her.

Her silence made Xavier furrow his brows. “What? Do you want me to announce our relationship in
front of everyone?”

Daisy shook her head. “That thought didn’t even occur to me

“What do you mean?”



The two entered the elevator, and Xavier leaned against the wall. He chuckled, “Are you worried about
Weston knowing about us being together, or are you worried about that ex fiance of yours?”

Daisy cut him off immediately and explained, “I’ve told you many times that I don’t harbor any special
feelings for Mr. Ford. Please don’t malign me! If Mr. Ford were to hear about this, he would
misunderstand, and I don’t want that happening…”

The smile remained on Xavier’s face.

However, it hinted at something else. “You’re just worried about Weston getting the wrong picture. What
about me? What if I misunderstand?”

He suddenly lunged forward and trapped Daisy between his arms. “I am a man with a fiancée as well.
Isn’t it sincere enough that I announce you as my girlfriend to the world ?”

Daisy turned her face away. “Indeed, it is sincere, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Ford.”

For someone like Xavier, who was often surrounded by women, be it rich heiresses, celebrities, or
models, he had never actually publicly admitted any of them as his girlfriend

To the outside world, Zeta was his official fiancée.

But to Daisy, he was willing to bring her along to private gatherings and introduce her to his brothers,
so long she agreed.

Daisy knew that he was being serious about their relationship
