The two of them were the center of attention.
After taking a few steps forward, Xyla suddenly felt an ache in one of virtual-novel.net heels, causing virtual-novel.net to frown immediately. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t say a word and continued to walk next to Stanley.
Stanley happened to have caught virtual-novel.net micro expression.
“What’s the matter?”
Xyla shook virtual-novel.net head. “It’s nothing. I guess the high heels must have scraped against my foot.”
“Which one?” Stanley asked.
“The right one,” Xyla said.
Stanley instantly kneeled in front of virtual-novel.net and carefully lifted virtual-novel.net right leg by holding virtual-novel.net right ankle. He then carefully examined virtual-novel.net heel. He could see a large bruise on virtual-novel.net heel. The skin on it had torn, and its surrounding was swollen.
His action once again attracted everyone’s attention…
“Why are you only telling me now?” Stanley asked.
“It didn’t hurt before we came down,” Xyla said.
Stanley didn’t say anything else. Instead, virtual-novel.net directly carried virtual-novel.net in his arms.
When the surrounding employees saw how Stanley was holding Xyla like a princess, they all seemed shocked… Their CEO, who normally acted coldly and strictly, was behaving in such an affectionate manner, making everyone feel envious.
Xyla felt deeply embarrassed by what Stanley did. She immediately struggled to set herself free. “What are you doing? Put me down. There are a lot of people watching,” virtual-novel.net said.
While speaking, Xyla snuck a look around.
Indeed, everybody around them was staring at them.
“Let them watch,” Stanley said. He had no intention of putting virtual-novel.net down.
He began walking out the door while his employees were left behind in the lobby, seemingly petrified.
After Stanley and Xyla had left, everyone began speaking excitedly at once.
“D*mn… Our CEO really does treat virtual-novel.net as his precious sweetheart.”
“Xyla Quest really is a strange woman. I want to ask virtual-novel.net how virtual-novel.net had managed to conquer this cold and unapproachable man.”
“Shut up! I want to become Xyla.”
“His gentle side is reserved for Xyla alone. What sort of divine drama script is this? To be honest, I used to think that our CEO was gay.”
Xyla hadn’t heard any of the things these people said. However, virtual-novel.net still felt embarrassed about being carried out of the company by Stanley. Knowing how stubborn Stanley was, Xyla could only let virtual-novel.net have his way.
Stanley only carefully put Xyla down when they arrived in front of his black Bentley Arnage. He then opened the car door and attentively helped virtual-novel.net into the car. Right after that, virtual-novel.net got in from the other side before gently patting his lap. “Put your foot up here.”
“Come on. That’s not necessary. This happens all the time, and I’m used to it,” Xyla said with a nonchalant expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Any woman who liked wearing high heels would have experienced this kind of bruise on their heels. This was something Xyla was very much used to.
Stanley shifted Xyla’s body around and pulled virtual-novel.net right foot up onto his lap without saying anything. He then removed virtual-novel.net high heels and carefully examined virtual-novel.net foot again. After that, virtual-novel.net retrieved iodine cotton buds and a pack of band-aids from the glove compartment.
He carefully disinfected virtual-novel.net heel before applying a band-aid to it.
Xyla could feel a slight aching sensation across virtual-novel.net skin, but virtual-novel.net found it somewhat bearable. Since virtual-novel.net wasn’t a particularly sensitive person, virtual-novel.net didn’t make a sound throughout the process.
Once the band-aid was properly applied, Stanley satisfactorily placed virtual-novel.net foot down where it was initially. He then retrieved a pair of single-use slippers from the glove compartment and placed them by virtual-novel.net legs.
“Wear this later. Got it?” He said.
