Her words made him pause Xanthea continued to explain, "Our family has always been super strict. Even though Matthew and I have been dating for years, my parents and my brother never allowed us to hold hands or spend talone outside. Especially Samuel; he's super strict with me. If he seeslike this with you, he'd go berserk." As if womed he wouldn't believe her, she added, “If you don't believe me, you can ask my best friend. She works at a research institute now. And she saw how badly Samuel beat up this guy who tried to sneakily hold my hand once! I know he probably wouldn't stand a chance against you, but I don't want to see you guys clash. Don't worry, once this situation is over, I'll find the right tto formally introduce you to my family." Before she could finish, she heard the man's deep, magnetic laughter close to her ear.

Xanthea's heart was racing, her cheeks flushed, and she was as frantic as a cat on a hot tin roof. Meanwhile, the man next to her had a gentle, amused smile on his lips, clearly enjoying her predicament.
Noticing his amusement, Xanthea punched him lightly with her fist, "How cyou're still laughing! What should we do? Maybe you should go out and meet him?" "If he's here, he already knows you're with me. Going out will only make it more suspicious-like I'm hiding you," "Under the desk." Brilliant!
