Following that statement, Stanley lifted Xyla up…
The lovebirds had lost track of time in each other’s bodies. It was already midnight when he finally released her, though he was reluctant to do so.
The man got up and leaned against the bed headboard. He reached for the cigarette and started smoking casually. In the midst of the smoke, the scratches on the man’s body became more and more obvious, making him cool yet flirty.
On the other hand, Xyla’s whole body was now numb and weak. She could barely move as if a truck just ran over her and crushed every single bone in her body. Slowly, she stretched her body with difficulty and turned to the bedside, intending to take a shower. However, she did not have the energy to get out of bed at all.
Looking at the man’s refreshed and relaxed appearance, she could not help complaining. “I’m so freaking exhausted, and you’re sitting there like nothing happened.”
The man chuckled at the irritation on her face. He puffed out the smoke in rings before looking at her with his smiling eyes. “Well, you seemed to enjoy it just now. And now you’re complaining?”
As soon as he finished his sentence, all the humiliating scenes of them began to flash across Xyla’s eyes.
They were like a movie replaying in her mind. She did not notice it, but her face was as red as a ripe apple right now.
“You…”
Stanley leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Xyla, I love you in every way, especially the way you scratch the bed sheets.”
Upon hearing that, Xyla could feel her embarrassment grow even stronger as her heartbeat rate increased. Her hands instantly balled into fists as she directly hit the man’s chest. “Shut up!”
“Are you getting shy again?”
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Xyla forced herself to roll over despite the fatigue all over her body, turning her back to him.
Stanley stubbed out the cigarette and hugged her from behind. “Are you going to visit Team EW’s base today?”
Xyla nodded. “Yes. I want to meet the team members personally and have lunch with them… By the way, can you call Henry Armstrong to ask Alex to join us as well? I want him to get acquainted with the team first.”
“Okay, sure,” Stanley answered.

The next day, Xyla left the house at ten o’clock in the morning and headed straight to Team EW’s base. The base was a two-story villa located on the outskirts of Atlantis.
The former boss of Team EW had already informed the team about Xyla’s visit in advance. Therefore, she noticed that there were already three young men waiting for her at the entrance when her red Maserati drove into the parking. Each of them had a different hairstyle. One of them was bald, one of them had a crew cut, and the other one had a mushroom head.
As soon as Xyla got out of the car, the men quickly gathered around her and introduced themselves courteously. The bald man was the president of the team, Michael Gabriel.
The crew-cut man was the team’s manager, and his name was Ian Lauder. As for the mushroom head, Grayson McCoy, he was the team leader.
After shaking hands and getting to know each other, Michael led her into their base.
The interior design of the base was pretty simple. The first floor was mainly the players’ training area, and there were about twenty computers in the entire hall. At the moment, Team EW’s five main players and their three reserves were sitting in front of their computers and playing Rank. A serious expression was etched on each of their faces. EW was known as the ‘best faces team’ in League of Legends. Every player in the team was one of the most handsome faces in the gaming industry. They were all a bunch of fine, pure teenagers. If they dressed up nicely, they could have debuted as male group singers.
Xyla recognized every one of them in the hall. She even remembered all the players’ names.
The main Top Solo, Mason, was now the world’s second top Top Solo. The main Mid Lane, Jacob, was the second most popular Mid Lane from Country Z.
