Chapter 1539

Xante’s gaze hardened. “And I’m sure you’re not the type who’d overstay his welcome, right? It’s time

for you to leave now that you know I’ve made plans with someone else.”

Sunny raised an eyebrow and put his feet up on her table. “And what if I don’t want to leave?”

Xante frowned. ‘It hasn’t even been two minutes since I praised him for being more mature, and now

look what he’s doing,’ she thought.

“You can stay here if you want, but I’m going,” said Xante. She stood up, picked up her suit jacket, and

strode out of her office.

She did not have the energy to continue arguing with Sunny as she was starving. ’He should be gone

by the time I come back from lunch,’ she thought.

To her surprise, Sunny stood up and ran up to block her path.

“What are you doing? I need to go now. It’ll be rude to make my friend wait!

Plus, I don’t have a habit of arriving late,” said Xante impatiently.

Sunny stepped closer to her inch by inch, forcing her to retreat step by step.

Xante could feel the danger emanating from his body.

“Mister Sunny, you said you’re now a mature man, correct? A mature man would never behave like the

way you’re behaving right now, so step out of my way!”

said Xante.

Sunny forced her until her back was against the wall. He then trapped her between his two arms before

saying, “Do you really think there’s such a thing as a mature man in this world? Let me tell you

something, all men will act childishly in front of the woman they like.”

Xante was taken aback. “So you’re saying you like me?”

Sunny lifted her chin. “Of course! otherwise, why would I want to reminisce about old times with you?”

he asked teasingly.

He did not sound like the old version of him from three years ago, where every word that came out of

his lips was sincere and truthful.

Xante snapped out of her trance and smiled nonchalantly. “What an honor it is for me to have you

thinking of me at all times.”

Sunny squeezed her chin. “That’s right. You should feel honored. It’s rare for me to like a woman this

much. So don’t you think it’ll be a pity if you walk away now?”

Xante tried to turn her face away, but he would not let her.

“Mister Sunny, as tempting as your offer sounds, I’m afraid my priority still goes to the person who I’ve

made plans with first.” “Even so, you can ditch your plan with whoever it is! Isn’t that what you did to me

back then? So it’s not like you’re doing anything out of your character!

Xante could not offer up a retort since that was exactly what she did to him last time. She would

sometimes forget she had a date with him, and it ended up with him waiting for her for hours.

‘He sure knows how to hold a grudge…’ thought Xante.

“Unfortunately, the person I’m meeting later is very important, so I can’t just ditch them. Please, Mister

Sunny, won’t you step aside? I promise I’ll ask you out another day,” said Xante.

She did want to resort to begging him, but he was stronger than he was three years ago, so she could

not break free from him at all.

Sunny’s face darkened. “No! I won’t take no for an answer! It must be today. I don’t care how important

that person is to you! Just ditch them!”
