At night, Josh Batton still needed to film for Teenage Idol. Georgie needed to be there as well. There was still a large pile of documents waiting to be signed by virtual-novel.net in the office.

The next morning, when Xyla woke up, Stanley was still not by virtual-novel.net side.
Xyla lazily sat up in bed. After looking around, virtual-novel.net noticed there wasn’t any note. She knew that virtual-novel.net probably hadn’t left and was making breakfast downstairs.
When Xyla thought about Stanley, a pleasant smile appeared on virtual-novel.net face.
Beep, beep, beep…
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to get out of bed, virtual-novel.net phone rang. A news headline appeared on the screen.
“Is Skyview Hotel going down the drain soon?”
Xyla immediately tapped into the news and checked it out. She was shocked by what came into sight.
“At 8 o’clock Atlantis time, Skyview Hotel’s investors all over the world began requesting for their investment capital to be withdrawn. As soon as the news got out, various major banks in the world requested their loans to be repaid simultaneously. After the incident of Ada insulting citizens of Country Z, Skyview Hotel will be facing an even more severe threat. The company will likely face a complete shut-down. Now, Skyview Hotel’s stock price is still continuously falling…”
Xyla didn’t expect Dragon Group to take such swift, decisive action against Skyview Group’s core business.
Right then, the door opened, and Stanley slowly walked in. He was wearing a black, silk pajama with a V-neck collar. His muscular chest was completely bare. A view of Stanley like this made virtual-novel.net seem cold yet desirable to Xyla.
Stanley sat next to virtual-novel.net directly. When virtual-novel.net saw the screen on virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net extended his hand and scooped virtual-novel.net into his arms before pressing his chin on virtual-novel.net shoulder. “Reading the news?” He asked.
“Yeah… You’re really quick.. ” Xyla said.
“Am I quick?” Stanley asked.
“Aren’t you?”
“Looks like I’ll have to extend it to at least an hour next time…” Stanley chuckled.
Xyla instantly blushed.
What was virtual-novel.net talking about?
“What’s wrong with you? I was serious…” Xyla complained with a frown.
“I was serious too,” Stanley said before pressing his body against virtual-novel.net and holding virtual-novel.net face with his hands.
“Whoever messes with you will have to face severe consequences,” virtual-novel.net added.
In the next second, Stanley started kissing virtual-novel.net all over. Everything became muddled after that.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious VIP ward, Sebastian Brenand slowly opened his eyes.
When virtual-novel.net saw Rachel Wood looking at virtual-novel.net phone, sitting up on the bed, virtual-novel.net immediately extended his arm and pulled virtual-novel.net into his embrace tightly. “How do you feel? Are you feeling better today?” Sebastian asked.
“Hmm… Much better,” Rachel said with a deep frown.
She allowed virtual-novel.net to hold her. Without saying anything, Sebastian continued to hold virtual-novel.net and caress virtual-novel.net hair softly.
“Sebastian…” Rachel slowly opened virtual-novel.net mouth.
There was a slight redness in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Hmm? Say it…” Sebastian said.
“About the money you’ve been giving me each month, you normally transfer it to me once a month. Today happens to be the final day of the month,” Rachel said.
“Okay. I’ll transfer the money to you later,” Sebastian said.
“That’s not what I meant.” Rachel looked down and tugged at his collar carefully.
“What do you mean then?” Sebastian asked confusedly.
“What I meant was… From today on, you don’t have to transfer money to me anymore…” Rachel explained.
Sensing that something was wrong with Rachel, Sebastian immediately pulled virtual-novel.net away from virtual-novel.net and carefully studied virtual-novel.net face. “What are you trying to say?” He asked.
“I’m saying… I think.. I think… I think we should end this thing between us.” Rachel’s eyes were turning red.
After Rachel finished speaking, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart aching.
