Ernest’s eyes narrowed as he studied Felix, which made Felix feel embarrassed. “You want to attend Xena’s appointment ceremony?” 

Seeing Felix nod, Ernest suddenly laughed before saying, “No.” 

Felix was baffled. Given their relationship, this should have been a simple request. 

“I can’t betray Sherlyn like that. She’d never forgive me for helping her rival.” Ernest chuckled, showing his playful side while Jairo watched in amusement. 

“Mr. Holt Senior, you’ve got it wrong. I’m just curious about the ceremony. 

“Really? I’ve been around long enough to know better. Are you saying there’s nothing between you and Xena?” 

Felix fell silent. He did not want to lie to the old man. 

“Goodbye, then.” 

Watching as Ernest walked away, Felix felt helpless. 

Left with no choice, Felix called Hector after getting home. He needed to attend the ceremony. He had to signal Xena about Madam Spring’s situation and save his own life. 

Their relationship had been tough from the start, with simple matters being overcomplicated. With Sonny’s kidnapping incident unresolved, it was challenging enough for him to be with Xena, let alone intimacy. Still, he had to plan ahead. 

“Felix, it’s rare to hear from you.” Hector seemed to be in a good mood, as his tone was 

cheerful. 

“Mr. Downy, I’d like to attend Xena’s appointment ceremony tomorrow. Is that possible?” 

“Of course! Good taste, kid. I mentored Xena myself, and she’s excellent in every way. She’s lucky that you’re interested in her.” 

Lucky? If possible, Felix wanted nothing to do with this entanglement. 

“I’ll have my deputy, Leia, meet you at the entrance.” 

For such official events, invitations were rare and only a few qualified people would attend. Social figures like Nala wouldn’t appear, so having an escort made sense. 

The next morning, Jairo stopped Felix just as he was leaving his garage in the Range Rover. “Dr. Zeller, Mr. Holt Senior wants a ride. 

“Really? Stop joking around, Jairo.” 

Jairo chuckled. “I’m quite serious.”
