Echoes of Unrequited Love (Xaviera and Hogan) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 

Timothy’s 180 really knocked my socks off

But at the end of the day, it’s his call. I shouldn’t butt in willynilly, plus I’m not one to bite the hand that feeds me. I’ve got a hunch that he’s got his reasons; maybe he’s trying to right some 

wrongs

I’m a few years his senior, which is, to be honest, a bit embarrassing to admit

Seeing me keep mum, Timothy scratched his head and said, What I mean is, the thrill of life is all about pushing your limits, you get me, Xaviera?” 

Staring at Timothy’s goofy look, I asked patiently, What are you actually thinking about this collaboration?” 

Is he just blowing off steam, or has he really thought it through

I’m dead serious,Timothy confessed, I never mess around with work. What, you don’t fancy partnering up with me?” 

I caught Timothy’s probing gaze and replied, Of course, teaming up with FreeMan is an honor for us.” 

Timothy snorted, Just an honor? You sure know how to play it cool, Xavi.” 

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I forced a smile and said. And a pleasure, too.” 

Timothy seemed pleased with that answer, and a trace of a smile finally broke through his stiff facade. You’re just being polite. But since you’re under the weather, I’ll let it slide.” 

I heaved a silent sigh of relief and said, I’ll work the angles on the collaboration. You go rest up, and I’ll hit you up when there’s news.” 

Having such a headstrong guy stick around as my bedside companion is more than I can 

handle

Timothy seemed to read my mind, so he nodded and said, Okay, I’ll listen to you

Before long, I was left alone in the ward, and my palms were still sweating from the verbal sparring match earlier

It’s clear Hogan’s got a beef with Timothy. Pulling off this partnership won’t be a walk in the park

After mulling it over, I decided to seek out Hogan once more

But I ended up running into Cecilia, who was packing Hogan’s bags in the suite

The girl was holding Hogan’s undershirt and folding it with extreme care

Looks like they were planning to head back to Rivertown

Cecilia did a doubletake when she saw me, then she greeted me with a smile, Xaviera, looking for Hogan?”
