The strong, tingling sensation caused Xyla to take a deep breath. Subconsciously, virtual-novel.net glanced over at virtual-novel.net expensive diamond watch by the bedhead and noticed it was already close to noon.
She immediately glared at Stanley angrily. “Stanley, I woke up late because of you again…”
“Hmm…”
“You… You shouldn’t do this next time,” Xyla added.
“Hmm. I’ll keep that in mind, ” Stanley said.
Xyla rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Stanley.
‘Keep that in mind? Doesn’t virtual-novel.net say this every time? When has virtual-novel.net ever actually kept that in mind?’ Xyla thought.
Beep, beep, beep…
Right then, Stanley’s phone started ringing. Xyla ignored him. After adjusting virtual-novel.net white silk pajamas, virtual-novel.net went right into the bathroom. Once Xyla was out of sight, Stanley reached for his phone and looked at the screen.
When virtual-novel.net saw that the call was from Henry Armstrong, virtual-novel.net picked up. He then slowly sat up and leaned lazily against the bedhead.
“Zack Cassidy told me you didn’t come into the office today,” Henry said. His voice was accompanied by the sound of cars honking.
“I suddenly thought of a saying. It goes like this, Despite the sun being high up in the sky, a man refuses to wake up…” Henry added.
“Get to the point,” Stanley said blandly.
“It’s nothing. I’m in front of your office. I was just about to go inside to ask you out for lunch. But you’re actually not here… No… I was just surprised that you would reveal your identity on the internet for Xyla last night…” Henry said.
“If there’s nothing important, I’m hanging up…” Stanley said.
Before Henry could say anything, Stanley hung up the phone He didn’t get out of bed right away. Instead, virtual-novel.net picked up a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, and lit it up with his head lowered. He then began taking puffs from it. His actions made virtual-novel.net look very cool.
Once Xyla was done brushing virtual-novel.net teeth, virtual-novel.net exhaustedly returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table to put makeup on.
The spotless mirror showed virtual-novel.net reflection right then. She accidentally wet the hair around virtual-novel.net temples when virtual-novel.net was washing virtual-novel.net face earlier.
Coincidentally, Stanley had finished smoking his cigarette. After glancing over at Xyla, virtual-novel.net stubbed out the cigarette and entered the bathroom.
Due to the lack of time, Xyla put on very light makeup, and virtual-novel.net didn’t even put on lipstick. All virtual-novel.net used instead was a layer of lip moisturizer. Her lips were naturally pinkish. With the glossy lip balm, virtual-novel.net lips looked almost like succulent plums.
After making sure everything seemed alright, Xyla quickly chose an outfit virtual-novel.net usually wore to work. She put on a light blue suit, a white shirt, and a pair of beige heels. When virtual-novel.net walked out of the closet, virtual-novel.net looked like a completely different person. Although virtual-novel.net was wearing clothes that virtual-novel.net randomly selected, virtual-novel.net still seemed unusually noble.
Xyla quickly went downstairs for breakfast. After that, virtual-novel.net got into virtual-novel.net red Maserati and drove to Quest Group’s office while several security cars accompanied it.
When virtual-novel.net car got close to the office, Xyla could see a bunch of reporters gathered in front of the main entrance from afar. Even without thinking about it, virtual-novel.net knew these reporters were here because of virtual-novel.net and Stanley.
Xyla still had a lot of work to get done. Later on, virtual-novel.net also had to get ready for a tournament. To be honest, virtual-novel.net really didn’t have much time. Hence, virtual-novel.net circled to the back entrance before driving virtual-novel.net car into the garage. After that, virtual-novel.net took a lift from the garage and arrived at virtual-novel.net office.
Beep, beep, beep…
Just as virtual-novel.net entered the office, virtual-novel.net phone started ringing. When virtual-novel.net saw the caller’s name on the screen, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but smile.
