Stanley Batton held virtual-novel.net hand in his all the way up the stairs.
As the two of them reached the master bedroom, Xyla stopped before Stanley and slowly released virtual-novel.net hand from his, virtual-novel.net blush seared through virtual-novel.net cheeks. “I… I’m going to bed first.”
However, before Xyla could even lift virtual-novel.net leg, Stanley forced virtual-novel.net against the wall beside virtual-novel.net door and placed his right hand on the wall, bringing himself close to her. His calloused fingers proceeded to pinch virtual-novel.net chin lightly as virtual-novel.net whispered, looking virtual-novel.net in the eyes, “Aren’t we sleeping together? My dear wife.”
His warm breath spread over virtual-novel.net ears. The tickling sensation across virtual-novel.net skin made virtual-novel.net heart beat faster and faster every second. His gaze was just like hot iron. Anywhere it landed on Xyla, it brought a flush of heat across virtual-novel.net skin.
In the next second, the rosiness on virtual-novel.net cheeks spread across virtual-novel.net face, all the way to virtual-novel.net neck
“I… I’m tired.”
Xyla did not dare to meet his eyes. Slowly sliding down from the wall, virtual-novel.net slipped away from the gap under his right hand and ran straight into the room, locking the door behind her.
The man’s right hand was still pressing on the wall as virtual-novel.net stared at the door that clicked shut in front of him, the corner of his lips began to curve upwards into a mischievous smirk.
Shortly after, virtual-novel.net left the spot with a satisfaction expression on his face and headed back to his room. After locking herself in the room, Xyla found herself leaning against the door and panting heavily. Her heart was racing so fast as if it was going to pound out of virtual-novel.net chest. It took a moment for Xyla to recover from all the shock. She then shuffled to the bathroom and took a simple shower before sinking into virtual-novel.net large, soft bed.
Though virtual-novel.net finally got to lie on virtual-novel.net bed, virtual-novel.net sleepiness initially had all been swept away by Stanley. As the time passed by, virtual-novel.net body finally gave in and virtual-novel.net fell asleep soundly.
When Xyla woke up from virtual-novel.net nap, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. She stretched virtual-novel.net back comfortably and sat up in a slow manner.
Her long hair gradually fell from virtual-novel.net shoulder to virtual-novel.net back as virtual-novel.net got up, the ends of virtual-novel.net hair landed perfectly at virtual-novel.net waistline. It was as light as a cloud, and a little messy at the moment, adding a slight sense of minimalism to virtual-novel.net overall temperament.
After washing up, virtual-novel.net stepped out of virtual-novel.net room and went down to the living room.
He was not downstairs. Xyla guessed that virtual-novel.net might be still sleeping so virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net way into the kitchen to prepare some dinner. However, the fridge was almost empty and there were only some shrimp, tofu, vegetables, potatoes and a little beef left inside.
She decided to cook the rice first. Then, virtual-novel.net cut the ingredients accordingly and began to cook the dishes one by one. She made some shrimp tofu soup first, followed by stir-fried vegetables and finally potato beef stew.
After moving the dishes to the dining table and setting up the cutleries, virtual-novel.net went up to Stanley’s room, intending to wake virtual-novel.net up for dinner.
Knock knock knock… Xyla knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
The familiar voice was ringing behind the door, and soon fluttering virtual-novel.net heart effortlessly.
She cautiously pushed the door open. And slowly, virtual-novel.net peeked inside of the room.
Surprisingly, Stanley had already gotten up. He was currently sitting on the couch by the window with a headphone over his head and a laptop placed in front of him. A serious expression etched on his face as virtual-novel.net stared at the screen of the laptop.
The man was wearing a white dress shirt and a pair of light blue trousers, looking fresh and noble at the same time. The first two buttons of the shirt were unfastened, revealing his sexy collarbone.
Xyla was impressed how virtual-novel.net could look equally stunning anytime, anywhere, without even trying.
He was more attractive than any male lead in the drama.
“Come over here…” He waved his hands at her, the coldness in his eyes had melted away due to Xyla’s arrival.
Immediately, Xyla quickened virtual-novel.net footsteps to his side, where virtual-novel.net saw a huge conference room displayed on the screen of his laptop. It was only then virtual-novel.net found out that virtual-novel.net was having a meeting.
The U-shaped conference table was filled with numerous people. Everyone was sitting solemnly in front of the table and the atmosphere in the room was extremely serious yet spectacular.
At this moment, Xyla had crashed into Stanley’s webcam as virtual-novel.net approached Stanley.
Very soon, the serious faces on the screen had vanished. They were all staring without blinking, their mouths slowly dropped open. Obviously, it was Xyla’s appearance that came as a shock to them.
Astonishment and bewilderment were brimming in everyone’s eyes as if they saw something world-shaking.
Stanley, on the other hand, kept a straight face the entire time without saying anything. Stretching his arm, virtual-novel.net pulled Xyla onto his lap and stroked virtual-novel.net hair gently. “Give me two minutes, alright?”
Stanley dropped a bombshell on everyone in the conference room with his unexpected gesture.
Meanwhile in the conference room, all of them were rooted to the spot, unsure how to register the scene in their minds.
What had just happened? What did they just see?
Their President, who always bore an extremely serious and cold expression on his face, just hugged a girl in the middle of the meeting?
The crowd nearly jumped out of their skin!
