“Yeah…” Stanley said.
Xyla nodded.
“Why were you peeking at me earlier?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Xyla coughed awkwardly. “When did I peek at you?”
“Didn’t you?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“I didn’t. If you didn’t look at me, how would you know that I was looking at you? I haven’t even asked why you were peeking at me.” Xyla changed the topic directly, sounding confident with what virtual-novel.net said.
Stanley slowly smiled. “I think you look good. That’s why I wanted to look at you. Am I not allowed to?”
Xyla instantly felt virtual-novel.net heart clenched.
“Isn’t your beauty meant to be seen by others?” Stanley added.
“Makes sense… Aren’t you going out today?” Xyla changed the topic suddenly.
“Hmm. I’m staying at home to look after you.”
“Don’t you have work?”
“Yes, but it’s all the simple stuff. No big deal,” virtual-novel.net said.
Right then, Stanley received a call from Zack Cassidy. He walked right over to the french window and picked up the call.
Although the warm sun was now shining against his face, it couldn’t melt away the coldness around his eyes that conveyed nothing but nobility.
“Master Stanley… About the project in Korea you had your eyes on before, the President of Korea has agreed to it. He asked you to fly over and meet virtual-novel.net in person to discuss it. I’ve already prepared your private jet. When would you like to depart?”
“Tomorrow,” Stanley said calmly.
Xyla picked up virtual-novel.net compact mirror to check on virtual-novel.net face. When virtual-novel.net noticed that virtual-novel.net makeup was a little off, virtual-novel.net quickly got up and walked into the bathroom.
Stanley turned around and caught sight of this.
“He might not be free tomorrow…” Zack said.
“Then, do it the day after,” Stanley said.
“If there’s nothing else that’s important today, let’s try to make it today,” Zack added.
“Isn’t spending time with my wife important?” Stanley raised his brows before subconsciously turning around and looking at the tightly closed door to the bathroom.
On the other end of the call, Zack cursed at Stanley in his heart for being a foolish man. In the end, virtual-novel.net calmed himself down for a serious reply. “Hmm, alright.”
Zack couldn’t resist yelling at Stanley in his mind. ‘Is spending time with your wife more important than your billion dollar business?!’
However, Zack kept all of this to himself. He didn’t dare say any of it out loud because virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net wouldn’t make it past the night if virtual-novel.net did.
“Is there anything else?” Stanley asked.
“No… Nothing…” Zack took in a cold breath of air.
Stanley hung up the phone right away. At this moment, virtual-novel.net suddenly received a call from Henry Armstrong. Stanley picked up the call directly.
“Hey, it’s been a while since we last met. Do you want to meet up tonight?” Henry asked.
“I’m not free,” Stanley said.
On the other end of the call, Henry had one leg crossed over the other as virtual-novel.net enjoyed the warm sun by the southern beach. He picked up a coconut and took a sip from it. “Come on. Let’s hang out, uh?”
“I have plans tonight,” Stanley said.
“Well, let’s meet up in the day… I’m in the south. I’ll send a plane over to get you,” Henry added.
“Xyla just went through a surgery. I have to look after virtual-novel.net in the day,” Stanley said.
A look of shock appeared in Henry’s eyes. “What surgery? Why didn’t you say that earlier? What was it? Was it an abortion? Did you get virtual-novel.net pregnant, and virtual-novel.net got an abortion because virtual-novel.net didn’t want children? Stanley, you are terrible.”
When Stanley heard this, virtual-novel.net felt as if a fly was buzzing in his ears. “What on earth are you thinking about?” Stanley said with a slight frown.
“What other surgery could virtual-novel.net have possibly gone through?” Henry asked.
“An appendectomy,” Stanley said.
