Chapter 342: The behind the scenes - II

Arnold stepped inside the room, leaving her to wait outside as she heard him announce her like she was a lady born and breath for this and needed to have her presence announced. 

The door was opened harshly and she jumped before the face of her beloved appeared in front of her eyes making her heart calm down instantly. 

"Adeline," Xavier frowned lightly before he pulled her close to his chest but maintained eye contact with her. "What are you doing here?" 

Her lips parted and the words almost slipped out but then she grew aware of Arnold's presence. He was still here and was watching them as well. 

"I just wanted to see you," she reluctantly admitted. "Were you busy? I can leav-" 

"Nonsense," Xavier pinched the side of her waist, "come, you can listen." 

Before Adaline could say no, she was dragged inside the room, very gently she may add, by Xavier and was taken directly to the head chair.
