 well as awkward as it is for her to call him by his first name, Xavier, entered the production facility side by side. She is following him silently and everything was awkward for her really, and Krystal is very much intimidated by him.

As she is following him, she is wrecking in nervousness. Krystal keeps on thinking about what task has she forgotten to do. Her mind whirl here and around, recalling things from yesterday. She really doesn't remember him saying or have ordered something for her to do, she is sure of that.

"Oh god, did I mess up now?" Krystal bit her lip as she fidget with her uncalm fingers. At this point, her mind was out of space that she is not even conscious of where she is.

Krystal continuously walks forward following the CEO but you still can't focus. Xavier side-eyes her and witness her playing and nibbling with her bottom lip. The broad daylight highlights Krystal's smooth and pinkish cushion and he can't help but stare at it.

She doesn't feel his stare, not a bit of it. This how she mostly do when she is nervous and when she cannot find her steady state – she plays with her lips and that is what she is continuing to do at the moment. Xavier's stare becomes dark and hungry. Just the sight of her lips made his throat dry and his crotch tighten. He gulps.

Xavier stopped as Krystal can hear his footsteps halt, she stop too. she turns her head and looks up at him. He was looking at her, eyes glazing with dark orbs, piercing stares got her body shriek inside immediately.

She looks at him, unto his eyes. Krystal grows curious about why he's looking at her in that way. She can see his eyes trailing her face – she can feel the hot gaze as if his eyes are touching the skin on her face. Then, she can see and feel how his eyes land on her lips.

So intense, her body quivered inside. She doesn't have any idea why she is are this kind of body activation. Not wanting for it to last longer, she clears her throat. "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Knight?"

He kept on staring at her and her heart peak a pace. She was nervous again so she bit her lips again.

"You should really stop biting your lip, Krystal." Raspy and dark his voice sounded. She didn't realize that she was biting her bottom lip, so, she quickly release it. But what's wrong with it, she asks herself.

There was a feeling of discomfort Krystal feel in her stomach. She does not like how he looks at her and how he stares at her lips, and how he told her to stop biting her lip like he was turned on. It makes her irk.

"I have a boyfriend, Mr. Knight." Krystal blurted hoping he'd get her point that she does not flirt anymore and she doesn't like him flirting with her.

Xavier chuckles, and finally, his eyes left the sight of her lips. His chuckle then vanishes and it turned into a smirk. His eyes found hers again and this time it was more. He looks at Krystal like she is his target – the meat he wants to eat.

"I didn't ask Miss Krystal and I know." He replies to Krystal, his smirk never fades.

Krystal's eyebrows scrunch together. "Did you stalk me?" At this point, she did not care that she is talking the way she is talking to the owner of the multiple companies. It did not matter to her anymore.

"Would I? Why?" Xavier raises his eyebrows questioningly at her. Right. Why would he stalk her? She is nothing special. How dumb of her to think of that. Maybe he just saw her and Nick the other night together.

"I-I... sorry." Krystal apologizes quickly, embarrassed for her wrong assumption and accusation. Xavier didn't say anything. He just walk ahead, past her and she followed him again.

Krystal and Xavier stroll around the production facility, inspecting the processing of the products and the packaging. She explained everything to him – about why the shipment of the product to Russia was delayed as her point at the certain area and machinery that had been broken for the last two weeks.

After explaining, Xavier only nods at her and she follows him again.

Xavier walked deeper into the facility and Krystal mindlessly trail behind him. From here to there, workers were busy but managed to greet both of them. The longer the two of them saunter forward, the fewer workers appeared in their sight.

Krystal does not know where she is going so she inquires. "Mr. Knight where are you heading?"

Xavier did not answer her. He continues to walk forward. Krystal wanted to scoff but she hold it in. She doesn't want to be rude, she doesn't want to complain because she can't. He is the billionaire CEO, he is her boss and she can't do those things if she doesn't want to get fired.

Following him unto which seems to be the endless room, Krystal highly shrieks when she stumbles onto her own feet. Her legs got entangled together, body shamelessly falling. Krystal's voice echo throughout which made Xavier hastily turn around and thankfully catch Krystal before you fall to the ground with her face. Her body then landed unto a hard chest as her hands grip unto a broad shoulder.
