'Can Xena fail to seduce a man?' was what Rory asked in return, which made CEO Eric believe that Xena was lying. Later that week, Xena went out to a restaurant and there she met Sean, Jude, and David. They greeted her and invited her to their private room. Hearing the news, Rory and CEO Eric didn't believe there was nothing between the four of them. How can they coincidentally meet at a restaurant unless it was planned? So, when Xena came back, CEO Eric talked about how Xena's fighting skill was waning, so he asked her to spar with 50 guards. She frowned and wanted to disagree, but the 50 has descended on her. Normally, she could have held her ground, but CEO Eric purposely lit a weakening incense in the room earlier, and he even added a weakening drug to the glass of water Xena drank in his office, and by the time Xena could realize it, it was too late. Zenos frowned due to CEO Eric's callous actions. “We'll deal with CEO Eric tonight!” Zenos said calmly. He should have done tha
Lucas, one of the football players and Hayden's friend, soon entered as Rose went out of Hayden's drawing room in glee. “Hey bro, what's up? When did you come back?” Hayden's hand shook Lucas, who just came back from a business trip of 1 month.“Just now,” Lucas replied absentmindedly. He turned back to look at the door, then Hayden. “What are you doing with that bitch? Don't tell me you are dating her”. He said with pure contempt.“What's wrong?” Hayden arched an eyebrow nonchalantly, yet he was still a little curious. “Look, bro. That girl is a god-damned talented liar. Just look at this.” Lucas stretched his hand and handed Hayden his phone, which Hayden immediately collected. “I was courting this girl for months, and she was playing hard to get, I thought she was different, and you know what… I kept falling for her. Who knows?” Lucas completed his words with the use of evidence he was sent by a friend. Hayden's eyes widened when he was shown a video of Rose and 2 naked guys i
“I want to check out the CCTV!” Hayden said with determination. His hand slightly tugged his hair in nervousness.“Hayden…”“Any argument?” He asked coldly.“Y… N… No.” Hayden's eyes began to blaze with fury when he began to watch the videos captured by the CCTV. He discovered that Rose's actions on Zenos began on the first day Zenos arrived. Rose had been trying to seduce Zenos by claiming to know more about him (H), which is why Zenos ignored her. Hayden's frown deepens when he sees Rose constantly trying to follow Zenos. The day Zenos kicked her was because she endeavored to hug him. Hayden was unhappy throughout, and he can't bear to watch anymore, or else he wouldn't know how to control his actions toward Rose for attempting to steal his man.'Zenos was innocent. He was innocent.' Keep ringing in his head. Hayden felt ashamed of his actions. What has he done? He thought in remorse. 'If you let me go, you'll regret it.' Now he understands what Zenos meant. He regretted it! H
“Then what are you doing now? Snitching on your boss?” Sean asked the chauffeur, who was now a trembling mess, but Micheal pulled Sean back and ordered the chauffeur to leave them.“What are you doing, Mic? Let me just…” Sean yelled and struggled in anger as Michael held him.“Be calm, we are disturbing Zenos and the other patients by yelling,” David said patiently, which made Sean reluctantly stay down.“Do you know what state Zenos is? We don't know what causes his condition and he just had to suffer again all because of that piece of…” he bellowed. Sean has always been the most emotional one in every emotional aspect of the five of them. And they thoroughly understand that his teasing, his anger, and everything he does is just a way to show his care.“Zenos will be fine!” Michael said and engulfed him in a brotherly hug. “Little baby, stop crying!” He teased Sean.“I'm not a baby.” He snapped, pushing Micheal away.“Are you sure you know nothing about Zenos, and he didn't show any
Hayden dialed Zenos's number repeatedly throughout the day, with no picking up from Zenos. Hayden finally realized and began to yearn for what he missed. He misses Zenos's early morning and late-night texts. He misses Zenos's presence and all of Zenos's actions, his teasing, bullying, and his touchiness, but he has never heard from Zenos since that time. Hayden cried because of Zenos's wickedness. Zenos is so wicked! Is it that easy to cut him off Zenos's life? Zenos didn't even look back, is it that how happy Zenos is to let him off? He wouldn't let Zenos go. Never! Zenos is his. Hayden declared firmly in his heart.“What did you get?” Hayden's tone was cold as he asked his secretary about Zenos, but his heart was beating fast. Extremely fast!“Master, we can't find the trace of Mr. Zenos. He seems to hide deeply.” The secretary replied, which made him grab the glass of liquor in his hand tighter. Hayden mocked himself; even his influence is nothing compared to Zenos's.“Ok.” Hayd
“How's Zenos?”“He passed this round,” Michael replied and immediately slumped on the chair. David instantly opened a bottle of water for Michael, while Sean began to open a box of Michael's favorite food from Michael's favorite restaurant.“What about that boy?” Suddenly, Michael asked in between meals.“Who?” Jude asked.“Hayden.” Sean frowned. “Hayden? Why are you suddenly asking about him?” Sean asked. Hayden's name is enough to remind him of Zenos's state, which he doesn't like in any way.“To clarify something,” Michael replied mysteriously, which made them frown a little. Subconsciously, they too now want to know how Hayden lives, ever since Zenos left.“I'll call Shadow!” Jude said, and quickly picked up his phone to call one of the bodyguards.“Hayden's a mess,” Jude said and with that, he began to explain everything the bodyguard said to him. “Oh, so he heard the wrong thing, saw the wrong thing, and misunderstood?” Michael muttered with a frown. He suddenly felt that Ha
Zenos is always planning every move, and he could have predicted and initiated many of the happenings, but what's Zenos getting at this time?“You were this free?” Zenos rhythmically tapped the bed, his voice cold and unfeeling as he questioned, making them feel chilled.“We care about you,” David replied with a shrug.“Hm.” Suddenly, Zenos' lips curved up into a smile and his voice seemed to be a little vibrant, except that he just wanted to reveal something 'wicked'. “We'll be flying back tonight. Next week we'll be going back to the company. Michael, you have some new projects you'll be…” They immediately protested. “No way! We just came back, and you need to rest!”“Says who?” Zenos smirked at them evilly. Ugh! Infuriating and heartless. Maybe they shouldn't have cared about him. Ugh! Such a stubborn and worrisome younger brother!___ Sean sighed for the umpteenth time, he just felt that that Hayden boy was pitiful, but Zenos really didn't care nor move an inch after what they
Michael chuckled at Sean's words and walked towards his room. He opened his room door only to be shocked by what he saw. Michael rubbed his eyes in puzzlement, and it was still the same thing. He even went out, closed the door, and reopened it again to confirm it. Jude, who has been watching Michael's reactions immediately, sighed. “What got you now?”“What the hell!!! Who the hell did this?” Michael cried out in shock and bewilderment. No! He had mixed feelings. Sean chuckle loudly. “I told you he'd be shocked, then happy!” Sean said to Jude and David while peeling off a tangerine.“It's Zenos,” Jude answered Michael.“WTH? Zenos bought all this?” Michael stared at his room, which was filled with countless snacks. And it was all his favorite snacks! Yes, it was! To be truthful, Michael never expected Zenos to pay enough attention to all the snacks he loved for Zenos to buy them for him, correctly. Oh, how touched he was!“You don't like it?” Zenos frowned slightly. He wondered i
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he made an attempt to stretch his body, but in the next second, tears slipped past his eyes, and he stared at the ceiling. Why does his hand ache so much? Ah! What's wrong with his body again? It’s really too much! Hayden slowly but achingly walked towards his phone. However, by the time Hayden checked his phone, he was completely shocked… Hayden could remember that he left his phone charging last night, but how come his phone is completely turned off right now? Not only was the charging socket off but his phone's battery was completely shut down. His phone battery isn't the type to drain for no reason! A wicked grin immediately crept onto Hayden's lips. Something is extremely fishy. Now, he doesn't believe that Zenos is truly innocent. Tonight, he'll change his plan. Let's see if Zenos will be able to hide again! Hayden smirked evilly, the plan on how to catch Zenos pervading his mind. He should have expected that his plan was childish in the b
Hayden drowsily stretched his arms and yawned leisurely. His hand flew towards his eyes, and he leisurely rubbed his eyes.His eyes flew wide open, and he evaluated himself. It seems falling asleep is the best health treatment. His arms and body feel so much better after sleeping.Hayden's finger landed on his lips, and he slowly stroked them. It's just that his lips don't seem to go with the flow and still remain the same from when he woke up in the morning.However, everything feels so great. Suddenly, Hayden paused, and his eyes shone with an enigmatic glint.The ointment seems to work despite Zeno teasing his chest.Hayden immediately became energetic, and he sat up while stretching actively. He could probably do some painting, or he could just tease Zenos too…Definitely teasing Zenos.Even though Zenos' expression shows innocence, Hayden doesn't fall for it, and he believes that his situation can only be none other than Zenos' handiwork. After all, who could step into the room i
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he leisurely yawned, “Ha… Ahh. Ahh. Ahh. It hurts.” Hayden's leisure yawns were immediately replaced with a pitiful cry and teary eyes. Hayden sucked in a cold breath and evaluated his aching body. He slept fine last night. Why does his whole body ache now? Especially his red dots, which felt as if they had been sucked sore. Ah! His hand feels so heavy too. This feeling feels like whenever he used his hand to help Zenos. Ahem. Hayden almost smacked himself. How could he have such naughty thoughts at such a serious time? “Ahhh!” Hayden let out a pitiful cry upon using his aching hand to mistakenly touch his stiff and sore red dots.This feels so unusual. Very unusual! And very painful. Immediately, Hayden's eyes landed on the bed. Did Zenos come in? Hayden took a glance at the door, and he immediately rejected the idea. Judging by how everything seemed fine the way he left it before he fell asleep, it could be seen that Zenos didn't step into t
Silence fell immediately, but in the next second, Zenos' broke into a peal of sarcastic laughter, cruelly poking into Xavier's wound. He fell silent in the next second and asked, “Why?” Xavier leaned forward and truthfully replied, his eyes filled with regret. “Dealing with business and failing to return for weeks.” Oh. Zenos fell silent, and his eyes fell on the beautiful city view, his expression deep and enigmatic and his thoughts unfathomable. "How?" A rueful smile appeared on Xavier's face, and he ran his hands through his hair. "On a business trip that was supposed to take three days, I ended up spending two weeks. Every day coaxing and promising to return the next day.” And when he finally arrived at the mansion a few hours ago, Xavier made his return a surprise. The man had eagerly kissed him, jumped on him, and attended to him well while acting clingy, leaving no trace of suspicion in Xavier's mind. Who knew that when Xavier was about to step into the room and hug the
Hayden puckered his lips and rolled around on the bed. He sighed heavily and tightly clutched the pillow. Hayden is certain that Zenos will feel bad for not being able to cuddle with him, right? Especially when Zenos thought about not being able to kiss and touch Hayden for three days. Zenos had always been touchy and couldn't do without kissing the boy, hugging him, etc. Hehe. Serves Zenos right! Suddenly, Hayden's eyes shone, and he giggled. Zenos, that person has always been strict when it comes to Hayden. Seeing Zenos nervous and the tide switching. Hayden inexplicably feels good, and his illusionary tail hangs high into the clouds. Serves Zenos right. Hmph. Zenos won't only be missing Hayden, but he won't be able to act touchy or bully him for three days! The more Hayden thought like this, the more eager he was to experience these three days. Hayden leisurely rubbed his eyes and yawned. He slipped into the bedcover and covered himself. Soon, his eyes shut, and he f
The sensor-activated range hood and air purifiers already began to operate after detecting the exuding smoke. Due to the fact that he had returned to the study, Zenos hadn't heard the timer finish its timer countdown, so the oven continued to work. Zenos pulled open the oven, and his expression changed upon seeing the Turducken's current state. The expected crispy brown turkey is now burnt and dark, its edges slightly blackened. A sense of dread hit Zenos immediately. The boy already warned Zenos not to mess things up, or else he'll be really infuriated. The boy's infuriated expression immediately appeared in Zenos' mind, and his heart sank. If the turkey skin is burnt, then the inside…Zenos grabbed a knife and sliced the turkey, clearly hoping that the damage was minimal. His expression slipped upon noticing that the turkey meat was dry around the edges, its moisture beginning to evaporate. The outer layer of the duck is overcooked and drier than it should be. However, th
The Heart product that the sweet tongue Hayden was completely obsessed with was a completely new product and brand Zenos created solely because of Hayden's sweet tongue. Months ago, when Zenos first presented the new product to the shareholders, the product idea was completely opposed by a lot of shareholders. After all, the company has always done something different, so why would their company stoop so low to do something risky and low like creating junk like chocolate, cookies, etc.? What if it doesn't sell? Regardless of the shareholders' disgruntlement and rejections, Zenos went on to launch the product with his resources. Even though Heart was just a product that was launched in less than one month with no advertisement made, it broke world record sales and became the nation's favorite and the most expected snack brand in the country in less than a month! By then, the shareholders who all went against it could only bite their fingers in regret. Seeing the huge profits that
"Zen, you can back out and let me bid.” Hayden smacked his lips together and raised his head to stare at Zenos seriously; his actions of helping Zenos fix the apron came to a pause.Hayden saying this… It's not that Hayden looked down on or underestimated Zenos' ability to make a turducken. After all, Zen is the best, and Zen is a multi-talented genius.It's just that Zenos has been busy dealing with company work since the past week, and Zenos doing this means that Zenos won't be able to complete the work he had to do during this time.This means that Zenos has extended his work, and the time Zenos is supposed to spend resting will be spent completing the work.Furthermore, judging by the details on the web and cooking recipes, Turducken requires focus and patience, which means that at the end of the day, Zenos will be tired.Zenos is already busy dealing with work, and Hayden has been trying to make Zenos rest; the thought of adding Turducken to all this chaos doesn't sit well with H
Hayden hummed rhythmically and shook his perky butt to the tune, his hands drawing and painting and his eyes fixated on the drawing.Suddenly, Hayden's phone alarm rang, interjecting Hayden's actions.Upon hearing the alarm sound, Hayden straightened his back, carefully took the painting, and hid it at the back of the shelf.Immediately, Hayden returned to the board and took out another paper. He began to doodle on the paper and resume his humming and shaking.Zenos silently opened the door and stepped into the gallery in order not to disturb someone. Upon seeing the enticing sight of Hayden shaking his butt while humming rhythmically, Zenos paused and gulped.Immediately, Zenos strode toward the boy and smacked his perky butt, albeit gently.Hayden's face flushed, and his ear turned red. He straightened his back and turned back to glare at Zenos fiercely. "What was that for?" He uttered with a harrumph.Zenos extended his hands and hugged Hayden from behind, his hands slowly massagin
