“Decant the bottle of Lafite, Steve.” Furrowing her brows, Be turned away with her phone.


    Steven felt sad because he knew Be wanted him to give her space.


    “I know what you’re thinking, Steve. I hate Justin due to our failed marriage, but we’re not enemies.”


    With a smile, Be patted his shoulder understandingly. “I’m bound to run into him if I want to set up


    base in Savrow and expand KS Group. I’m just trying to be adaptable.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “But Ms. Be-”


    “What’s there to fear? Are you scared that he’s going to take advantage of me? Drew will take him out


    before Ash has a chance to if he tries anything.” Be scoffed offhandedly.


    Steven thought, ‘No, that’s not it. I love and honor you with all my heart. I’m not scared to put my life on


    the line for you. The only thing I fear is that you’ll fall in love with Justin again. I can’t bear to see you go


    down that road again.”


    He sighed in dejection and left with the red wine in hand.


    The phone in Be’s palm vibrated persistently, which was very much like Justin’s stubbornness.


    “What can I do for you, Mr. Salvador?” Be took the call, her voice aloof as always.


    “Thank you for your cake. It was delicious.”


    Be’s breath became shallow, and hershes cast a shadow below her eyes.


    The night was silent.


    Justin’s husky voice was alluring.


    In the past, she had enjoyed calling him on the phone to hear his voice. Despite his indifference, she


    would roll around in bed excitedly.


    Yet now, she felt nothing.


    She prided herself on having great discipline and being able to kick any addiction, including love.


    “You’re wee. I hope the cake serves as a good reminder to you to keep your advice to yourself and


    mind your own business.” Be took a deep breath, her eyes chilling.


    “I don’t think I was interfering.”


    Justin sounded solemn. “Your business is my business too.”


    Be jeered. “I guess you can say that. You need me to take Bethany down a notch. If Bethany


    seeds and bes the general manager of the Salvador Hotel, your stepmother might be at it


    again, and you could find yourself in a predicament.”


    Justin scowled.


    Before, when Be was still “Anna Brown”, she had put him before anything else, tending to him with


    great care.


    Now, Be hurt him with cutting remarks and only talked about plots and strategies..


    However, he could not forget and move on from the woman who made his heart bleed.


    It did not cost him anything to put his ego aside.


    “Be, do you think I care about Shannon and Bethany? They can’t start anything on my watch. Else, I


    wouldn’t have been president for many years.”


    Justin paused for a moment, clearly with more on his mind, but he hesitated.


    Be clenched her fists, her knuckles popping. “I’d suggest you stay. out of my business, Justin. From


    an ex to an ex, this is myst advice to you. I can be ruthless when I get angry. Things might get


    messy, and innocents could get involved. You have been warned about getting caught in the crossfire,


    okay?”


    “Don’t let anything stop you from doing what you want to.


    Justin’s voice danced around her ear. “I can’t help you much, but one will stand against you with me at


    the helm of Salvador Corporation.”
