Chapter 74

"I want us to meet and talk, X."

"I can't. I'm busy!" answered Xavier without a second thought.

"Xavier! Please….at least, consider this our last meeting. You're the one who canceled our wedding plans all of a sudden! I just wanted to talk things over clearly. Just you and me. At least end things well, X. "

"What has to end?" Xavier asked mockingly. "We haven't even started anything yet, Nathalie."

"X..." Nathalie coaxed. "Can't you grant this one wish of mine? For the last time, I beg of you..."

"Tsk!" Xavier chuckled. "All right! Tell me where it is."

"In my apartment."

"What?!" The tone of protest came from Xavier's tone. "Not!"

"I know what rotten thing you're up to, Nath!"

"It's not what you think, X," the woman denied. "You know what? I'm being chased by the media. I can't go out. I can only meet you here in my apartment."
