Pampered Wife of Xavier

Chapter 15: Foodie

Xavier averted his eyes from the magazine to her as she spoke. He frowned slightly and asked after a short pause,

"Where are the keys to your apartment?"

Arya was startled for a bit. Without a word, she took out a bunch of keys from her shirt pocket.

"Room number 704. The entrance door might be a little difficult to open. Just lift it up a little and it'll be fine. All the documents are inside the black briefcase on the table in my study room. Bring the whole thing over. There's also my laptop and my hard disk on the table in my bedroom. Just get me these things first and I'll go back to get the rest on my own a few days later."

Her things were pretty messy and she guessed that he probably had no idea how to tidy up when he got there.

Xavier glanced at her and took the keys from her hand.

"Are you sure there's nothing else to get?"

Arya shook her head as her pale face blushed slightly. She took a sip from her glass.

"Nope. It'll be fine if you get me those. My stuff is kind of messy and sometimes I don't even know where I put my important stuff. My memory's getting a little weak lately..."

"People might think I'm bullying you as your superior. You're so miserable to be on holiday. I've never seen anyone as dedicated to their job as you."

Xavier looked at her oddly. She was injured and weak, yet she was still thinking about work. It was not hard to understand how she had climbed to the position of Director from a tiny employee in just a span of five years. She must have put in an unimaginable amount of effort behind everyone's back.

"Then, you can promote me as a token of appreciation." Arya looked at him seriously.

"Dream on! Didn't I just make you a Planning Director? Glory World doesn't encourage nepotism. You should know this better than me, Director Arya."

Xavier glanced at her as he closed the magazine. Then, he opened the drawer of the coffee table and took out a controller to put on the table in front of Arya.

"You promoted me? Wasn't it the Human Resources Department..."

"Do you think you really sat on a rocket and reached all the way to become a Planning Director in Glory World's headquarters? You've completed your projects magnificently. I'm fully aware of what's happening in the headquarters even when I'm abroad, which is why I made an exception and promoted you."

Xavier poured himself a glass of water as he spoke. He took a sip and looked at Arya earnestly.

Arya was startled. No wonder the company had promoted her so quickly. It had taken her a very long time to get to the position of Director, but in just half a year, she was promoted to Planning Director...

"However, what surprises me is how you impress me. It seems that I have to spend more time getting to know my employees better in the future."

Arya understood what he meant. She replied,

"Many big companies like to look at past experiences and age, but I feel that motivated young people might not be worth any lesser than people with relevant experience. I believe you aren't that shallow, Chairman Knight."

Xavier smiled. "If I were shallow, how could I have found you?"

He suddenly stood up and then pointed at the controller.

"I'll go and get your stuff. If you feel bored, you can watch some TV. If you're tired, then get some rest in the bedroom."

"Okay. sure. Oh, right, please get me a couple of books by my bedside too," Arya added on.
