Chapter 32. I Like Him

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Serena looked down at her fingers. "It's your phone, isn't it? Whether you answer it or not, what's that got to do with me? If you want to pick it up, then do so. If not, don't. Why are you asking me?"

Xavier didn't say another word but silently stared at her.

A few seconds later, his lips curled up in a playful smirk, and he grabbed the phone, putting it to his ear. "Miss Carter."

On the other end, a sweet, slightly shy female voice came through. "Xavier, what are you up to?"

"Not much, just resting," Xavier replied casually. "We just had lunch, and Miss Carter's already calling me. Is something wrong?"
