Chapter 417: 417: You Can Only Call Me Brother

Xaviera nodded and went up to the second floor. As soon as she arrived at the door, she bumped into a man who looked like an assistant.

The assistant hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly, “…Are you Miss Xaviera Evans?”

Xaviera also paused. Had Xenia already informed her brother that she was coming, and he had sent someone to pick her up?

Indeed, being a CEO was efficient. She nodded, “That’s me.”

The assistant was puzzled. He didn’t understand how Mrs. Lana Stone had just instructed him to bring Xaviera to the office, and she had unexpectedly appeared at the door. He thought that perhaps Mrs. Stone had called or texted Xaviera, so he didn’t ask any further.

What was even stranger was that the mysterious masked man inside the office, who seemed like an emotionless machine, was actually interested in women?

The assistant glanced at Xaviera. There was no denying that she was very beautiful and had a cool, aloof air about her.

He bowed respectfully and said, “Miss Evans, Mister is waiting for you inside. Please come in.”

Xaviera thought to herself how well-mannered Mr. Jaak’s assistant was, compared to someone like Steve Price. They were both assistants, but the gap between them was so wide.

However, Mr. Jaak’s assistant referred to him as “Mister,” which confirmed that he indeed didn’t like being called “Mr. Jaak.”

The assistant led Xaviera to the office and knocked on the door, “Mister, Miss Evans is here.”

There was a low hum from inside the room, and Xaviera suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.

The assistant bent down and gestured with a smile, “Miss Evans, please come in.”

Xaviera thought that there was no need for the assistant to be so polite. She was just here to pass on a message from Xenia, which was just a single sentence. Why was it being treated as if she were here for an inspection of some sort?

Regardless, Xaviera didn’t think much of it, simply attributing it to the strict upbringing of the Jaak family and the rumored management skills of the mysterious Mr. Jaak.

Xaviera didn’t rush to enter the room but instead thought for a few seconds about what she should call him since she couldn’t address him as “Mr. Jaak.” Should she call him “Mister”? But then…

At this moment, her phone buzzed with a message from Xenia: [Xaviera, remember not to call him “Mr. Jaak,” just call him “Brother.” Otherwise, if he gets upset, he’ll force me to go back with him, and I won’t be able to compete. Please, I’m begging you! Whether I can participate in the competition depends on you!]

Xaviera was helpless.

She could sense that Xenia truly loved jewelry design, and as a jewelry designer herself, she felt a sense of kinship with Xenia.

Having already promised to help Xenia, she resolved to earnestly persuade Mr. Jaak not to come to the competition the next day and call him “Brother” as Xenia suggested.

Xaviera put on a smile, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and cheerfully said, “Hello, Brother.”

Caleb: “?”

When Xaviera looked up and saw the familiar face in front of her, she was immediately petrified.

Caleb: “Mrs. Mamet didn’t know it was me you were meeting before entering the room, or is it that you just call everyone Brother?”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed, and the smile on Xaviera’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by a frightened expression.

Wait, wasn’t the person inside the office supposed to be Mr. Jaak? How did it turn out to be Caleb instead?

Before she could figure it out, the man strode up to her with his long legs, his voice hoarse, “Mrs. Mamet, I’m very curious about who you’re calling Brother. Hmm?”

Xaviera’s heart trembled, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. If Caleb were to find out that her first encounter with Mr. Jaak involved her calling him “Brother,” would he immediately want to eliminate him?

Xaviera quickly laughed, “Stop teasing! Of course, I’m calling you Brother! Who else could I call?”

With his eyes deep and dark, Caleb spoke in a low tone, echoing in Xaviera’s ears, “Is that so?”

Xaviera shuddered and guiltily replied, “Yes, it’s like that.”

Caleb looked down with his burning gaze, “Mrs. Mamet, I’m your husband. You can only call me Brother and no one else.”
