“Got it. Keep me updated…” Stanley ordered.
“Okay. By the way, Fifth Master, the mission you gave me the other day is all set now… Mistress will definitely be surprised when virtual-novel.net goes out this morning.”
“Okay, good…”
Stanley cracked a smile as virtual-novel.net hung up the phone. Putting down the phone, virtual-novel.net continued to wash up before returning to the bedroom.
Xyla had just woken up.
The sunlight from the french window shone brightly upon her. She looked very much like an indolent kitten dawdling in the bed. Her arms rested outside the blanket. They were as smooth as fresh snow. Her face was fair yet delicate, tempting Stanley to place a kiss on it. The enticing scene made Stanley’s muscles tense.
Seeing that Stanley had already washed up, Xyla rubbed virtual-novel.net eyes and stretched virtual-novel.net body languidly. She then rolled over to take the wristwatch from the bedside table and took a glance at the time.
“It’s already eight o’clock… Gosh, I have to hurry up.”
She had loads of work to settle today. Other than virtual-novel.net two companies’ paperwork, virtual-novel.net had to visit Team QPG’s base to train with the team members. Though all of them played very well for yesterday’s game, there was still room for improvement in their teamwork.
Xyla sat up from the bed and casually combed virtual-novel.net silky black hair with virtual-novel.net fingers.
Stanley walked up to her, his hand subconsciously caressing virtual-novel.net chin. “What do you want to eat for breakfast?”
“You decide. I love everything that you make.”
“I’ll see what’s left in the fridge then. Oh right… Ada and the waitress both committed suicide,” Stanley said.
Xyla totally did not expect that to happen. She speculated that the two of them were afraid of jail, so they had decided to end their lives.
“Besides that…” Stanley told virtual-novel.net everything about Dex Reagan.
After listening to the story, Xyla fell into deep thoughts.
“It seems like Bailey Ronson was lying to us that day. The one who had been instructing people to investigate me isn’t Bailey, but Emily Quest. But Dex mentioned that Emily was going to call it quits after virtual-novel.net got the evidence from him. Considering that point, I think Emily really wanted to stop competing with me…”
“If that’s the case, how did Bailey know Dex? Why didn’t virtual-novel.net approach virtual-novel.net earlier, but right after virtual-novel.net had obtained the results from his investigation?”
Xyla’s mind raced frantically, trying to analyze the plot holes that lie in Dex’ s confession.
“So, Zack said that he’d abduct Emily and Bailey and question them again,” Stanley interrupted.
“Hmm… There are two possibilities now. It’s either Emily is innocent, or she’s using Bailey to keep herself out of this matter. Maybe virtual-novel.net came up with some plans to guide Bailey into finding Dex and revealing everything…” Xyla said again.
“Well, you’re right.” Stanley nodded in agreement.
“Make sure Zack interrogates them properly,” Xyla reminded him.
“Okay.”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore. I’ll go wash up first.”
As soon as virtual-novel.net finished virtual-novel.net sentence, Stanley helped virtual-novel.net put on virtual-novel.net slippers for virtual-novel.net and then lifted virtual-novel.net like a princess. His abrupt action made Xyla’s mind go blank. She subconsciously threw virtual-novel.net arms around his neck to balance herself.
“What are you doing?”
“I’ll carry you to the bathroom.”
“Stop. I can walk on my own.”
Nevertheless, Stanley insisted on carrying virtual-novel.net to the bathroom despite virtual-novel.net apparent refusal. Whenever virtual-novel.net was around, Xyla felt like a little princess being pampered by virtual-novel.net prince. She was just like a precious ruby to him.
Other than virtual-novel.net father, Stanley Batton was undoubtedly the best man virtual-novel.net had ever met in virtual-novel.net life.

After having breakfast, Xyla went upstairs and changed into a pair of high heels. Satisfied with virtual-novel.net outfit, virtual-novel.net left the house and prepared to go to work. When virtual-novel.net walked across the courtyard, virtual-novel.net noticed that Stanley had not left yet. He was sitting inside his black Bentley Arnage, waiting for her.
