Xyla Quest knocked on the door.“Come in…” Georgie Clementine said.Xyla quickly opened the door.There was a low, long table with many luxurious cushions around it.Right then, Georgie was the only person inside. She was looking down at her phone.Xyla removed her shoes and walked over to Georgie before sitting down next to her. She then glanced at Georgie’s phone. “What are you reading?” Xyla asked.Georgie put her phone on the table and pushed it over to Xyla.It was a news article from Weibo.The title of the news article was ‘Wannabe Women of Atlantis’.Immediately after that, the content of the article came into view.It clearly stated how groups of such women existed in Atlantis.All the women in these groups were young, superficial, and money-minded.They worked to get closer to people in high society, and they all presented themselves as classy folks.As they couldn’t afford the expensive lifestyle of upper-class folks, they came up with the idea of renting stuff.

She had light makeup on and also wore contact lenses and silver high heels. She looked innocent and adorable.On the other hand, Josh wore a casual white shirt and long, beige pants, as well as a pair of white sneakers. He seemed neat and handsome.Although Annabeth was not as good-looking as Josh, the two of them looked comfortable next to each other.Xyla never noticed this before, but the two of them looked good as a couple.“Henry asked us to come…” Josh smiled a little before holding Annabeth’s hand. They walked over to Xyla and Georgie before sitting down across from them.Xyla and Georgie used to be Annabeth’s superior at work.

“There were over fifty girls downstairs who ordered a single sashimi platter. They then took turns to take pictures…“I bet they belong to one of those female groups on the hot topics. I can’t believe they’d still come out and do this even after all that negative media. I’m speechless.” When Henry Armstrong spoke about these women, he felt utterly disgusted.Although he had met women like them in the past, he didn’t think much of them.To be honest, people like him knew their tricks.They simply chose not to burst their bubble.Men only cared about looks when they were in search of women to date.Just like how women only cared about their money, they only cared about the women’s faces.“They’ve really gone mad…” Georgie Clementine rolled her eyes.Beep, beep, beep—While they were speaking, Xyla Quest’s phone started ringing.It was Stanley Batton, and he wanted to video call her.Xyla immediately answered the call and walked out of the room. She found a place with no bodygu

It made Xyla appear formidable…There was a caption above the video. “A netizen caught sight of Xyla out for a meal. She’s the real deal, a true upper-class lady.”The video had only been published

“Beep, beep, beep—”Right then, Henry Armstrong’s phone started ringing too.Stanley Batton was contacting him on WeChat through a video call.Henry was pleasantly surprised. “What’s going on? Why would he call me out of the blue? Could he be missing me?”Henry wondered out loud in a self-absorbed manner before picking up.Out of curiosity, Xyla Quest and the others turned to look at Henry.After Henry picked up, Stanley’s cool face appeared on the phone screen.Henry waved at Stanley through the phone. “Hello… I know you miss me… We’ll get together once you get back to the country. How long has it been since we last met?”“Henry… Send Xyla home after dinner,” Stanley said.“After ages of not calling me on video, you’re now doing it because of Xyla?” Henry asked.“Why else would I be calling you?” Stanley replied.“Uhm… I thought you missed me,” Henry said.“You don’t deserve to be missed,” Stanley said.Henry was speechless.“Understood?” Stanley asked.“Yes… Understood
