Chapter: 1570

Xenia chuckled.

Norah and Sean had swapped their snow gear for casual outfits, now walking hand in hand down the busy street.

The street buzzed with life, people moving all around them as they strolled, enjoying the sights.

“Sean, you hired people from Sacredice, but why do you seem so invested in them?" Norah asked.

She could easily tell he treated those three differently, even inviting them here to have some fun.

Sean wasn't surprised by her question. Staying calm, he replied, “My connection with them is complicated. I just haven't figured out how to explain it to you yet.”

Norah got it. She hadn't quite figured out how to share her own issues with Sean either.

“Don't worry, I was just curious. It's fine if you don't want to explain. As long as I know they're not a threat, that's all that matters."

She squeezed Sean's hand and said, “Some secrets don't need to be shared with me."

When the time was right, they'd naturally open up to each other.

The wind here was bitterly cold. They exchanged a glance, eyes full of affection.

After their romantic candlelight dinner, they headed back to the hotel, only to discover a new arrival.

Inside, a blonde woman in a long, bright red down jacket hurried over when she saw them, bowing to them in a respectful greeting.

“Good evening, Mr. Scott. Do you remember me? I'm Xenia. It's an honour to finally meet you. Your name precedes you. Sacredice are thriving under your leadership."

Her voice was filled with excitement as if she'd just found her savior, eyes gleaming as she looked at Sean.

Sean had intended to keep his identity of the leader of Sacredice a secret from Norah, but now it was out in the open.

“What is she talking about, Sean?" Norah inquired.

T sighed, rubbing his forehead, realizing he forgot to tell Xenia that Sean's partner was unaware of his connections to Sacredice. The group stood there, feeling awkward in the hallway.

Sean sighed. “Let's talk about this inside."

The six of them headed to Sean's presidential suite, which was spacious and ideal for their discussion.

As soon as they entered, Xenia gazed up at Sean with admiration. She had only ever seen him from a distance in Sacredice, so being this close made her feel both happy and excited.

She regarded the woman next to him with disdain. Just a woman; great men shouldn't settle for just one.

“Mr. Scott, you saved me once. Do you remember?" Xenia asked.

Sean stared at her for a moment before shaking his head honestly. "No, I don't."
