Chapter 232 Orion laid out the midnight snack on the dining table, its rich aroma immediately filling the air, making Xanthea involuntarily swallow in anticipation.

"Xan, let's have slate-night treats first." "There's no need for that!" Xanthea mustered all her strength just to lift her hand in refusal.

In the past, she would have sat down happily and without hesitation to eat, but now, not only did she have thoughts about the food he cooked, but also about him.

"How about a drink then." No need! Let's just get straight to rehearsal, I only chere to practice today, and I have other things to deal with later." have?" Orion was puzzled by her series of refusals, "What other things do you "There's..." Xanthea thought for a moment, suddenly recalling his "corporate secrets" from earlier in the day. Her eyebrows slightly raised, "Are you interested in my personal affairs?" She raised an eyebrow, her eyes carrying a hint of "none of your business" confusion and a very subtle, extremely secretive anticipation. She thought that with this kind of provocative gaze, he wouldn't pursue it any further.

However, he looked straight at her, "Yes, I'm very interested." With that single statement, Xanthea was thrown off balance. She stumbled over her words, her heart racing, "Then I'll tell you after we're done rehearsing." "Alright, I'll just go dry my hair." As soon as he turned around, Xanthea couldn't hide her smile.

She bit her lip hard and pinched her thigh, forcing herself to calm down- Don't overthink it, it might just be any casual interest, but then he bought her favorite Hello Kitty slippers and even offered to help her put them on...

Ten minutes later, Orion returned with his hair dried, dressed in a sleek, dark suit, holding a silk tie, and with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his sharp nose.

Seeing him all dressed up, Xanthea's heart skipped a beat.

He must be doing this on purpose, right? It's just a late-night rehearsal, why did he put on such dashing looks? His usual business attire was already quite charming, but now with those gold-rimmed glasses, he looked even more like a sophisticated rogue, cold and ruthless, very much like the character Maximus from the , though Maximus was never this handsome.

Seeing his handsface flitting.before her, especially when she had "certain thoughts" about him, she knew she'd be distracted! "Xan, are you ready?" "Yeah." Xanthea clenched her teeth and nodded.

"Then let's begin."

Orion took her hand and tightly tied her slender wrists together with the On the silky tie, using a surgeon's knot just like last time. Xanthea suggested, "There's no need to tie it so tightly, a symbolic tie would suffice." However, he coldly rejected her, "No." Why so merciless? As if she lacked professionalism and would try to escape halfway through the performance.

After securing the knot, Orion stood up/and turned off the lights.

The room plunged into darkness, and Xanthea began to recall the scene and dialogue of the second emotional confrontation between Phoenix and Maximus in their story.

Maximus had finally captured Phoenix, trapping her in a secret room om at gnite Camp, a place unknown to others.
