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
Xyla was interested in this topic as well. She shifted her gaze to Henry. “Do you even have a heart? I’m here, agonizing, but you’re still laughing.” Henry frowned, looking upset. “Seems like there’s drama,” Sebastian deduced. “Thanks to your jinx, that person really was a shemale. The girl who did the video call with me was hired by him. Whenever he chatted with me through voice message, he used a voice changer, f*ck…” Henry explained. Xyla couldn’t help smiling at that, but she remained silent as she continued listening earnestly. “Hahaha… Was it really a shemale? I’m dying of laughter. Say, are you a shemales magnet? You keep meeting shemales in your online dating experiences hahaha…” Sebastian was holding his sides in laughter. “The main point was, he got scammed again. That girl weaved a tragic story, saying that her father has Uremia and a kidney transplant that required five hundred thousand. She didn’t have the money, so she had to work a lot of jobs every day. He b
Stanley’s eyes turned cold. “So?” “Do we want to continue? If we keep going, I’m afraid it might be lethal.” “Two days and two nights without a minute less.” Stanley’s tone allowed no room for discussion. After that, he hung up the call and turned back into the room. At that moment, Henry was engrossed in watching his team’s competition video while Sebastian was hugging Rachel as he told Xyla jokes. Gary was sitting quietly, eating his dinner, and smiling the whole time courteously. Stanley strode over to Xyla and sat beside her. Henry’s video was a little loud, so Xyla couldn’t resist looking at him after hearing a bit. “Are you watching Team IM’s competition?” At this, Henry instantly looked up. “Yeah. Do you know about Team IM?” Xyla smiled. “Yeah. The only team I like is IM. I like the team’s entire style. They’re passionate and hot-blooded. In their competitions, they’re either at war or on the way to war.” Hearing his team being praised made Henry feel so much
Gary stood up as well and tidied his suit. “I’m leaving too. I have something to do as well.” After the three left, only Xyla, Henry, and Stanley were left in the room. Ring, ring, ring. Just then, Xyla’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Georgie calling, she got up and went to the door to answer the call. Georgie was talking to her about work in X Entertainment, so Xyla discussed with her earnestly. Henry had no plans to leave. He kept smoking without care. “Henry…” Stanley raised his head slowly, shifting his cold gaze to Henry’s face. “Yeah?” “Alex…” Before Stanley could finish, Henry became solemn. “Definitely not… It took me great difficulty to train this person. If I give him to her, what’s going to happen to my team?” “That land in the city center… haven’t you always wanted it to build a pub there?” Stanley elegantly flicked his cigarette. His tone was calm and casual. Upon hearing this, a light sparked in Henry’s eyes. “Really? Are you willing to give me that
A person of her status, other than needing to be low-profile, cause no trouble, not be possessive, the most important thing was not to fall in love with her financial backer. They could have fun and take possession of each other as much as they wanted in bed, but they would have to retrieve their hearts after that. Although she was taken away by him the first time she entered the scene, she knew the rules. When they first entered the business, their manager taught escorts like them many things. Whether or not the others listened, she had no idea. But she remembered all of it. Seeing her so well behaved, Sebastian caressed her head with great satisfaction. “Good girl. Go on.” Rachel got out of the car quietly. Sebastian leaned against the steering wheel and tipped his head low to look at her. “Rachel.” She turned back, leaning down to look at him. He swiftly tossed her a credit card. “This is yours. You can buy whatever you want in the future.” She glanced down. It
She remembered the first time Sebastian was speeding. She saw the traffic police from afar and frantically asked him to slow down. However, Sebastian merely smiled before speeding up and arrogantly past the police right before their eyes. However, nothing happened after that. Back then, Sebastian had told her that no one dared to stop his car because of the car plate number. That was also her first time understanding what privilege meant. Frankly speaking, this group of people was already different from her since birth. *** After two days of devastating sessions, Tom was lying on the bed like a dead fish, unmoving. He was ghastly pale, his lips were dark, and pupils enlarged. His eyes seemed to have lost focus. Tiny stubble covered his chin, and his hair was a mess, adding to his battered state. Right now, his heart was beating extremely fast as if it would jump out of his chest. His skin felt like needles were stabbing it with every breath he took. The lingering
Tom lay in the room until five in the evening before he regained some strength. He was about to get out of bed when his phone vibrated. Seeing that Julian was calling, he lifted the phone with much difficulty and answered the call. “Tom, where did you go? Why haven’t you come home for so long? Mom and Dad are starting to complain,” Julian’s voice was gentle as usual. Tom tried to keep his voice composed and natural. He summoned all his strength to say, “I went out for a trip with some friends, and I’ll be back in two days.” “It’s almost time for New Year’s. There’s a lot to do at home, so come back quick,” Julian urged. “Got it.” “Alright then… I’ll wait for you. Right, Tom, the one who caused you this much harm… has been identified.” Tom’s body quivered as the spirit returned to his mind. “Who was it?” “It’s not one, but many. They’re all our rivals in the food industry,” Julian said. Tom’s eyes were filled with disbelief when he heard. “Isn’t Xyla among them?” “
When Xyla Quest first started her company, the company’s high-level executives knew she personally did not like too much attention. Hence, nobody dared talk about her affairs to outsiders. It was a practice carried forward until today.It had become the norm in the company that nobody would talk about her, which explained why it was normal for artists in the company not to know who she was.After comparing the two women’s outfits, the sales assistant smiled at the beautiful woman who wore a sable fur coat. “Alright, I will get this wrapped up for you right away,” the sales assistant said.“Miss, I saw this outfit first, alright?” Xyla immediately frowned.The sales assistant smiled politely. “Miss, this is a design from the young and most famous international designer, Vivian, who collaborated with Chanel to release it.”“So?” Xyla asked.“So, you probably can’t afford it. You might not even know who Vivian is, do you? She’s an extremely talented designer. Her net worth is even h
