Xyla Quest could envision a huge potential in the young man to become the next big thing.Smiling, she gently patted the seat next to her. “Have a seat.”He sat down obediently, seeming stiff at first. After a moment of hesitation, he placed his hands on his thighs, looking like a wide-eyed deer lost in the woods.“Don’t be nervous. We’re only having a chat,” she said softly.“Okay," he nodded respectfully. "What would you like to chat about?”Then, he looked terrified all of a sudden. “Are you kicking me out of the company? Am I not doing good enough?”Xyla immediately chuckled and shook her head. “No, you’re great. I just want to talk to you as a friend.”He instantly sighed in relief.“Are you afraid the company might not want you?” she wondered.“Yeah. The terms offered by this company are the best in the industry, and I like being here a lot,” he answered.“Don’t worry, we are not making you leave. What’s your name?”“My name is Lukas Ronaldo,” he said after sighing in
There was no other way unless Lukas Ronaldo worked harder if he wanted to live up to Xyla Quest’s expectations.He would hate to disappoint her.He wanted to become the best version of himself and be ready for the best opportunities.He also decided to be even more cautious and remain a good person.His goal was to become an exemplary celebrity like Josh Batton, so to do that, he had to cherish the opportunity and launch his career the proper way.***Xyla returned to her office after checking on the other trainees. By then, it was already completely dark outside.Lights of green and red dotted the entire city. From afar, the city seemed to have come alive.There were still many cars on the road despite it being at night.Xyla walked over to the French windows, feeling at ease as she gazed down.After an entire day’s work, she no longer felt tense and could finally relax.Right then, someone knocked on the door, prompting her to whirl around, smiling as she looked toward her
Xyla Quest laughed. “Don’t you?”Stanley Batton gently pinched her cheek. “Why would you ask that? I’m your husband. Why would I be impatient when I do something for you?”Smiling as her heart fluttered in her chest, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. “That’s good. I was afraid you might get annoyed someday.”Xyla knew what it felt like to wait in line and always hated it.“I won’t. Although I’m usually an impatient person, I’m willing to wait if it’s for you,” he said.She beamed upon hearing this. “You’re so good to me.”“That’s why you should appreciate me,” he said.“You’re acting like a woman,” she said, rolling her eyes.“Am I?”“Yes, you are,” she replied, taking another sip of her milk tea. She could taste the slight sweetness in her mouth.Even the air seemed sweet at that moment.“I wonder how the kids are doing at home. Let’s go home and check on them soon,” she added.She missed her children as soon as she brought them up.Apart from her h
Some of them had plush dolls in their hands, while others held tiny bells as they entertained the happy children, making them laugh continuously.That sound of laughter was the purest thing in the world.Listening to their laughter filled Xyla Quest with so much joy she wanted to pick them up and kiss them, but she refrained. She then pulled Stanley Batton along to the bathroom to wash their hands before approaching their children slowly.Xyla reached for Lynette Batton while he carried Leon Batton.Their children were growing well, appearing to be much taller and chubbier than before. Even their skin seemed fairer.Their facial features appeared more distinct now, with both twins having similar large pupils that seemed to glisten.“Has Lynette been a good girl today? Hmm? Did you miss Mommy?” Xyla chuckled and asked as she kissed her cheek tenderly.“Hehe. Huh, ahh,” Lynette gurgled, smiling at her mother.Although Xyla couldn’t understand what her little girl was attempting
A sense of joy and peace filled the entire living room. Even the air tasted somewhat sweet.Xyla Quest was enthralled by the warmth and serenity within the family. She hoped things could stay like this forever.Stanley Batton, who was still playing with Leon Batton nearby, gently shook his tiny hand and pinched his cheek.Meanwhile, Leon never stopped smiling and seemed comfortable with his father's shenanigans.His eyes seemed to be conveying many emotions as if he could understand a lot more in the world than people imagined.Stanley felt his chest tightening with contentment to see his son like that. “They look like angels,” he expressed in wonder.Xyla nodded in agreement. The two children were indeed like angels.Since they were born, the Batton family experienced nothing but joy and laughter.Xyla and Stanley had a happy marriage and were fine on their own, but she would frequently feel something was missing at home.She no longer felt that way once the twins were born
Sharon Lindt pinched her forehead in disappointment, releasing a long sigh. “Fine, I’ll start cooking and make your favorite dishes.”Sharon had always been the one who did the cooking, mostly because she believed that Xyla Quest preferred her cooking.“You’ve been working all day. Shouldn’t you rest for a while?” Xyla seemed concerned.“It’s fine. Why would I be tired?” she replied.“Do you need any help?” Xyla asked.“You two should wait here. Wilson will help me,” she told them before pulling her husband away.Once they had left, the nannies followed suit to the kitchen to help out, leaving Xyla, Stanley Batton, Lynette Batton, and Leon Batton the only ones who remained in the living room.The family of four sat quietly together, making the ambiance seem even more heartwarming and peaceful.Lynette gently grabbed Xyla’s fingertips with her plump and fair hands, looking adorable as she opened and closed them.Stanley's eyes rested on his wife. “Let’s exchange. Let me hold Ly
The company had signed on many talented trainees and artistes over the years. However, apart from Josh Batton, none came close to Josh's standards than Lukas Ronaldo.“In that case, give him some proper guidance,” Stanley Batton said.“I will. I want to show you his photo so you can see how good-looking that kid is,” Xyla Quest told him.“I felt like my entire body was shaking when I first saw him. He’s incredibly handsome. I believe his fans will share my thoughts once he becomes popular in the future.“In fact, they might feel even more intensely than I did,” she added.“How good-looking can he possibly be? Look at you,” he wondered with a slight frown.“He reminds me of Josh,” she answered.“Does he look better than Josh?”“I can’t say he’s better-looking. They’re both good-looking in their own way,” Xyla replied.“How about compared to me?” he pressed further.At that moment, Xyla sensed that he was jealous.She couldn’t help but find it a little funny.Withholding her
“Stanley Batton, don’t you think you’re being very childish?” Xyla Quest asked.What was the point of the comparison?He laughed, seeming more relaxed. “No.”He spoke so confidently, not flustered in the slightest.Xyla was speechless suddenly and could only shake her head helplessly in silence.***After dinner, the couple left their twins with Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and the nannies as they went upstairs together.Stanley went into the study to continue working as Xyla sat on her bed to go through some videos on her phone that Georgie Clementine previously sent her of Lukas Ronaldo dancing and singing.She also went through his’ personal information in detail and admitted that he had irrefutable talents in both forms of entertainment.After watching everything, Xyla felt even more impressed with Lukas. She instantly recognized him as being better than ninety-nine percent of other trainees in the company.She decided to call Georgie on WeChat.“Lukas seems pretty good,
