Hence, Xyla Quest exited from the news article and switched over to the financial news bulletin to check out what was trending for the day.The headline of the financial news bulletin was related to Tony Sullivan’s death.Xyla didn’t tap on it.Instead, she briefly checked out news about other businesses.While going through the news, her phone started ringing.The call was from Stanley Batton.When Xyla saw the word ‘Honey’, her gaze immediately became tender.She subconsciously smiled before picking it up. “Hey, honey…”Her tone was very gentle when she spoke.On the other side of the phone, Stanley was inspecting each department of a subsidiary company in City K with a large group of people. His facial expression was cold.There was a large group of high-level executives behind him, as well as a group of bodyguards.Everyone seemed timid and careful…Stanley wore a black shirt, a fitting high-class suit, and a custom-made, high-class coat…He seemed unspeakably noble.
“Also…” Stanley Batton said.“Oh, stop nagging. Are you my father?” Sometimes, Xyla Quest felt like Stanley was her father instead of her husband.The way Stanley nagged at her without an end in sight reminded her very much of her father…In fact, he was even worse than her father.Although Xyla was complaining, she liked it…“Alright, I’ll stop nagging. Be good, okay? I’ll buy you a gift when I go back… What would you like?” Stanley asked.“Nothing in particular. Buy whatever you want…” Xyla said.“Okay.” Stanley slowly hung up. There was a vague smile on his face.He looked very attractive.His gentleness charmed everyone present…The women, especially, wished they were Xyla instead.Who wouldn’t want a rich, handsome, and perfect man like him?Suddenly, the women couldn’t help but start looking at each other…Everyone was jealous of Xyla.Soon, Stanley’s gentle expression disappeared.In its place was his usual cold expression.Everyone found it hard to get used to t
When Brenda Stratford heard what Cindy Dunn said, she immediately glared at Cindy. “How could you say something like that? If the president’s wife heard you, you’ll be in deep trouble…”Cindy chuckled coldly.After that, she slowly opened her drawer and retrieved her Lamer concealer.She slowly applied it onto her face using a mirror. “I’m speaking the truth. There isn’t a man in this world who wouldn’t cheat. But, if there was, it’d only be because the woman wasn’t his type…“If she were his type, he wouldn't even hesitate… That’s all,” Cindy said before raising her hands and laughing hysterically…Brenda rolled her eyes. “Tsk… Go on, be sour about it… I think you’re just jealous.”“Jealous? I’m not…” Cindy said.Cindy was never jealous of anyone.If somebody had something she wanted, she wouldn’t stay silent about it.Instead, she would fight for it.Fortunately, luck had always been on her side.She’d always get what she wanted.Other people would be jealous of her inste
Stanley Batton informed Xyla Quest about his itinerary. “I’ve just finished inspecting one of the companies. I’m heading to the next one… This one is in City S…”On the other hand, Xyla had just arrived at her office in Quest Group.She was just about to turn on her laptop.Xyla instantly replied to Stanley when she saw his message. “All the best… Don’t exhaust yourself. Have you had lunch?”Stanley smiled. “I’m on the way to lunch,” Stanley said.“Eat something nice… Don’t skip lunch just because you’re busy. You must send me a picture of what you had for lunch later… I have to make sure you’ve eaten,” Xyla said.“Roger that,” Stanley said.Xyla replied with an adorable smiley emoji.The entourage of cars moved forward stably.A black BMW followed from behind in a low-key fashion.The person in the driver’s seat was Cindy.To avoid being noticed, she drove very carefully.Stanley first went to a nearby high-class restaurant for lunch…After that, he headed directly to Cit
“I was driving properly on the road. What’s wrong with you? How could you do this to me…” Cindy Dunn continued to act innocent. To make herself seem righteous, she even pretended to be angry.A beautiful woman looked good even when she was angry.All sorts of emotions were expressed through microexpressions on her face.One of the bodyguards looked sternly at Cindy. “Where are you headed to?”“What does that have anything to do with you? Do you own this road?” Cindy frowned coldly.The bodyguard was speechless.“If you don’t stop, I’m going to call the cops…” Cindy said.The bodyguard remained stern. He didn’t believe her at all. “Speak. Where are you headed to?”“I’m going to City S…” Cindy said.“I doubt you’ve just happened to be following us… If I didn’t remember wrongly, you were behind us back in the city…” The bodyguard said.Cindy pinched her forehead helplessly. “In the city? When was that? Oh, right… It’s a coincidence. What’s the matter?”“Show me your identity ca
Stanley Batton put his laptop aside and pinched his forehead exhaustedly.There was an elegance mixed with a hint of coldness in every move he made.The ambiance in the car was also cold and quiet.It was pin-drop silence.Beep, beep, beep—Right then, Stanley received a call from Xyla Quest…When Stanley heard his phone ringing, he frowned slightly. After that, he slowly retrieved his phone from his pocket…The moment he saw the word ‘Honey’ on his phone screen, his cold frown disappeared.The ambiance in the car also instantly turned from chilly to warm.The driver couldn’t help but gasp when he saw this.‘It must be Xyla.’ The driver thought to himself.“Hey… Honey…” Stanley said softly.“Pick up a purse for me at Goldfield Plaza in City S before you return. I’ve already made the order…” Xyla said.“Okay,” Stanley said.“Initially, I wanted to buy it here, but that mall is the only one that has it in the entire country,” Xyla added.“Okay…” Stanley replied.“I’ve alr
Even from across the wide road, Cindy Dunn could sense Stanley Batton’s kingly aura.It was the kind of aura that belonged to a successful person.The kind of man Cindy wanted was handsome, rich, and noble, just like Stanley.Only men like him deserved Cindy.When Cindy thought of this, her smile widened.Meanwhile, Stanley was utterly unaware that he had become Cindy’s target.The managerial staff in the subsidiary company before him respectfully bowed to him.“Welcome to our subsidiary company in City S, Mr. Batton. We await your instructions…” They shouted simultaneously.After that, the subsidiary company’s young, handsome CEO approached Stanley and respectfully invited him inside.When the large group of people marched into the office, everyone inside felt tense.The two pretty receptionists at the front desk instantly became stunned speechless by Stanley’s good looks the moment he walked in.However, due to Stanley’s imposing manner, they forced themselves to speak.“
There was a vague sweet scent of plums.It was sweet but not overwhelming.Soon, the person fell to the ground. She quickly looked up at Stanley Batton and apologized. “I’m sorry… That wasn’t on purpose. I was in a hurry…”With that, Cindy Dunn carefully stood up and acted as if she was greatly shocked. Then, she quickly backed away and pointed at Stanley. “You… Aren’t you our president?”“I’m sorry, Mr. Batton…” In the next second, Cindy quickly bowed deeply to Stanley…Stanley had a cold expression on his face.He didn’t show any emotion at all.Stanley scanned Cindy up and down, but he couldn’t remember where he’d seen her before.He wasn’t interested either.“It’s you again. Why are you here?” Stanley’s bodyguard recognized Cindy instantly.“You said you weren’t following us… So what are you up to now?” the bodyguard added…“I wasn’t… My friend works here. I’m waiting for her to get off work…” Cindy replied.Stanley didn’t look at her again. Instead, he slowly shifted h
