章 69: Dale

Xzavier watched curiously as she walked up to the door and knocked rather carefully on the door, like she didn't want to rile up the entity on the other side. After a dignified short pause, an male voice came from the other side of the door.

"Come in!"

With permission came audacity. The secretary boldly clamped her hand on the door handle and pushed it open. Xzavier waited a second before following her in. He hadn't anticipated the recoil on the door to be so reactive, so Xzavier almost got slammed by the closing door. He jumped into the room in the nick of time, narrowly missing the door by just a few seconds.

Though Xzavier couldn't prove it, he got a hunch that the secretary had done that on purpose. He may or may not have been right. But the soft smile that was threatening to pull through across the lady's face was proof enough of her involvement.
