The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 529

Chapter 529

Felix could swear he was not seeing things. Xena sat on his couch, with two glasses and a bottle of wine on the coffee table before her.

"Your life seems quite fun," Xena remarked, her initial smile instantly fading as her eyes fixed on Wendy in Felix's arms.

Felix glanced down, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

"Xena, I-" he started, but she cut him off, "No need to explain. I clearly came at a bad time. Don't worry. I'll use the front door next time."

Felix inwardly cursed at this massive misunderstanding. He called out, "Xena, please let me explain! This is Wendy Kinsley-you must know who she is. She had too much to drink, and I don't know where she stays, so I-" However, his words trailed off as Xena had already vanished through the door.

Looking at the wine bottle on the table, Felix felt incredibly frustrated. It was obvious Xena had found her own way into his villa to surprise him and probably have a heart-to-heart

conversation.

Instead of strengthening their relationship, this incident had likely damaged it.

"Jack, I swear I'll get you for this," Felix muttered, though he knew he could not really blame Jack or Wendy. It was just an unfortunate circumstance.

Felix carried Wendy upstairs and laid her on the bed. Any other man might have been tempted by such a beautiful woman lying helplessly before them, but Felix simply closed the door and left.

He was too upset to even consider such thoughts. Besides, he and Wendy had already established they were just friends. When Felix returned to the living room, he froze in surprise. Xena had reappeared, sitting in the same spot as before.

"Xena... You're not angry anymore?" Felix asked hesitantly.

She nodded, admitting, "I was too hasty earlier With your abilities, you must have sensed my presence, yet you still carried Wendy in. That shows you have nothing to hide."

In truth, his heightened awareness only picked up on threats or killing intent, not random presences. It would be exhausting if he were to leave his senses open all the time, especially in a country as densely populated as Dragonia. Nonetheless, Felix was not about to let the chance slip away. He said, "I'm glad you understand. I really thought you'd never forgive me."

Felix sat down as Xena began pouring wine.

When he tried to bring up the headquarters investigation, she quickly pressed a finger to her red lips. "Shh! I don't want to discuss work tonight. I just want to share this bottle of wine with you

in peaceful silence. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course," Felix agreed. They clinked glasses repeatedly in comfortable silence, neither speaking a word.

After finishing the bottle, Xena stood up, and Felix followed suit, assuming he should see her out. Instead, she surprised him by wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Kiss me," she whispered.

Felix's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What's wrong? Don't you like me? Kiss me," she insisted.

At that point, Felix knew hesitation was not an option. As they kissed deeply, he felt a shiver run down his spine as Xena's hands began exploring his body.

It was shocking. Who would have thought this seemingly ice-cold lady could be so forward once she let her guard down?
