Xyla sounded firm. Since Stanley refused to listen to her when she was not being assertive, she would have to take a more assertive stance.When the men dressed in black heard her, they were all shocked. Each one of them felt nervous on her behalf. Xyla actually dared to speak to Stanley like that. Did she have a death wish?“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you,” said Stanley, shaking his head helplessly. There was a gentle look in his eyes.Covering Xyla up with his coat, he buttoned it up for her from behind, then shifted it until the buttons were in front. “You can put your hands through the sleeves now. It’ll feel more comfortable that way.”The men dressed in black were stunned. They looked at one another in confusion. Was this the real Stanley? They felt utterly confused by what was happening. Nobody had ever spoken to him like this. When did he ever treat a woman in such a way?“Why aren’t you getting your men to stop then?” asked Xyla.Stanley pinched his forehead before

Through the smoke in the air, Stanley slowly turned around and examined Xyla’s face with a deep look in his eyes.“You don’t have to return anything to me for now,” he said calmly after exhaling a puff of smoke.“Let me thank you by buying you a meal tonight,” said Xyla.“Sure.”“I’ll decide on the place and send you the location on WeChat,” said Xyla with a forced smile.“Okay,” he replied with a gentle look on his face.“Is there any particular restaurant you’d like to go to?”“Anything is fine. Wherever you like.”The driver who overheard the conversation was shocked. He could not resist peeking at Stanley through the rearview mirror. Stanley’s gentle demeanor was giving him a heart attack. Was Stanley capable of saying things this nicely? Why had he never known about it?The driver had never heard Stanley saying the words ‘anything is fine’ in front of him or anyone else. This girl was amazing.“I noticed you were acting strangely when I walked through the door earlier. Y

The ignited lighter twirled in his slender fingers where every spark just barely flickered across his skin. This gesture was utterly alluring. “After our men released Tom Sullivan, he grabbed his arm and drove to the hospital.” Zack added, “I heard that Young Madam wishes not to make this incident huge, correct?” “Actually, I think Young Madam is right. If this issue escalates and gets out, it wouldn’t be good for the Young Madam. People would often add in bits of details once they start spreading until, alas, they turn into a completely different thing. “Worst case scenario, it becomes a version where he has successfully slept with our Young Madam.” Zack’s tone was respectful and serious. “I know,” said Stanley. “Fifth Master, our people have warned him saying that we have evidence of his crime in our hands. He wouldn’t dare to put the word out and escalate things either simply.” “I suspect that he won’t even tell his family. After all, Tony Sullivan is annoyed by him. I

This meal smelled excellent and looked great. Just a glance was enough to make her mouth water. “I want to eat too, but I have to play the game right now. I’ll eat it later.” Xyla looked at her computer screen. Since the game had started, food would have to wait. Although it was just entertainment, she loved to give it her all in every game. Stanley sat down quietly beside her and put the notebook on his lap. “I’ll help you with this game. You eat first.” When he saw Xyla’s ID on top of the character, he was stunned. Surprise flashed in his eyes. Who knew that she was the number one player in the server, Seven, who could easily overpower him in the game. The person that Henry had tried to sign with a large amount of money. No wonder she was dismissive of Henry’s offer of thirty million dollars a year to become a professional gamer. Thirty million dollars indeed wasn’t an amount attractive enough for her. “Do you play League of Legends regularly as well?” Xyla asked.

Xyla was eating as she watched, feeling very satisfied with his performance. Who would have thought that he was this good? Only, compared to her, he was still a little lacking. However, in this national server, he was considered top-class. The way he worked the keyboard was skilled and elegant. His slender fingers danced swiftly over the keys, flowing smoothly like he was playing the piano. She regularly watched League competitions. Men who gamed usually had nice hands. All the professional gamers she had met had exceptionally nice looking hands. However, his hands were even more attractive than theirs. These perfect hands practically completed the fantasy of someone with a hand complex. How he worked the keyboard was cooler than the other professional gamers as well. The way he played the game was more composed and calm than they were. As she looked at him, the term ‘elegant killer’ flashed in her mind. He was using the most elegant posture to do such bloody things.

“I gave my account to a friend.” He stared intensely at Xyla before he smiled meaningfully. “... Oh, alright then.” Xyla didn’t press him. She continued eating as she watched him play. It took him fourteen minutes to finish this game. By the time she was done eating, his game had ended. It could be said that it was his abilities alone that helped the team win so quickly. Even if she had spotted many flaws in his controls, this was good enough. “Not bad…” Xyla praised. “Will you keep playing?” Stanley asked. “Nope. I’m getting ready to go to work,” Xyla answered. “Then, go on, I’m going out for work as well,” replied Stanley. “Remember to eat lunch,” Xyla reminded. “Yeah,” he grunted a response before leaving without looking back. Xyla called to make a reservation at the restaurant for tonight before sending him the restaurant’s address. After that, she changed her clothes and left the house. *** At the same time, at the municipal hospital. After Tom had

Even if these women made him want to hurl, he no longer cared. *** When Xyla was done with work at Quest Group, it was already six in the evening. As night fell, the dazzling city lights intertwined with the sparkling stars in the sky. The whole world was covered in a sea of brilliance. Putting down the last document in her hand, she raised her head to see the beautiful view. Her neck ached a lot. She gently massaged it with a massage tool before touching up her natural makeup and got up to tidy her outfit in front of the full-length mirror. Her reflection was wearing a white chiffon shirt with a large bow tied around her neck. She wore a houndstooth high-waisted skirt that rested two centimeters above her knee. Her graceful figure was displayed perfectly. The pair of long legs below her skirt was exceptionally fair and slender as if they had highlights of their own. After simply tidying up her largely curled black hair, she grabbed her bag and drove to the western re

Xyla looked down at the time. He was only late for one minute. “It’s just one minute… It’s okay,” said Xyla. Even if they already knew he treated Xyla differently, Sebastian, Henry, and Gary couldn’t help but exchange glances. “Old Fifth, do you only have Xyla in your eyes?” Sebastian complained, mildly raising an eyebrow. “Why are you guys here?” Stanley asked. “It’s dinner time. We’re here for food,” Henry answered. “Rachel, greet Fifth Brother.” As they talked, Sebastian jutted his chin at Stanley. His actions seemed casual and laid-back. “Hello, Fifth Brother,” Rachel greeted. “Hmm.” Stanley glanced at her faintly, using no more words than necessary. “Let’s go. Let’s have dinner together.” Sebastian went ahead inside with Rachel in his arms. “You guys eat on your own,” Stanley said. “Beautiful Miss Quest has promised to dine with us, okay? You’re not planning to not listen to her, are you?” Sebastian turned around with a bright smile, looking at Xyla after s
