“There’s some trouble with the branch office in Country Y. I have to go there,” Stanley’s voice was steady, and his eyes only expressed calmness.
“What happened?” Xyla’s chest was heavy.
“One of the phone models exploded.”
Upon hearing that, Xyla shuddered instantaneously. “What?!”
If the accident went viral, it would be the end of the brand and the company.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go there to find out the cause and solve the matter. The accident is suppressed so far. Nobody will make a big deal about it,” Stanley explained.
“Hurry up then. I’ll help you to pack your luggage.”
Following that statement, Xyla moved virtual-novel.net weak body to the edge of the bed.
Nonetheless, as soon as virtual-novel.net got up, the man lunged forward and pulled virtual-novel.net back to the bed again. He wrapped his long arms around virtual-novel.net and gently kissed virtual-novel.net forehead. “Forget it. Look at yourself. Get some rest, okay? I’ll do it myself.”
“Hey, I can do it…” Xyla was not convinced.
“I won’t let you do it anyway,” virtual-novel.net spoke softly.
Xyla’s heart began to race the moment virtual-novel.net heard that.
“I might be staying there for a week, or even half a month. Be a good girl when I’m not around, alright? Give me a call if you face any problem,” Stanley reminded virtual-novel.net patiently.
“Okay…”
After that, virtual-novel.net got out of bed and went to pack his luggage.
***
Stanley’s private plane was at the airport.
After the pair had finished their breakfast, Xyla accompanied Stanley to the airport under numerous bodyguards’ watchful eyes.
The vast group of people had garnered a lot of attention at the airport. Fortunately, Stanley did not have to check-in as virtual-novel.net was taking a private plane. Once virtual-novel.net reached the airport, virtual-novel.net led Xyla to the exclusive gate and found his plane in no time.
There were several beautiful stewardesses standing at the entrance of the plane, respectfully waiting for his arrival.
Xyla paused and looked at Stanley. “Safe trip, hubby. Let me know when you get there.”
“I will,” The man fixed his doting gaze upon virtual-novel.net face.
Pure tenderness was all that was in his eyes right now. Stretching his arm, virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net into virtual-novel.net embrace, gingerly rubbing his chin against the top of virtual-novel.net hair. “Honey, take care of yourself when I’m not around, hmm?”
Xyla instantly hugged virtual-novel.net back while nodding virtual-novel.net head. The lovebirds were still in a particularly thick love bubble where they were stuck to each other almost all the time. Xyla could not deny that it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to his beloved.
“Remember to eat on time and have enough sleep, no matter how busy you are. Don’t stay up too late,” admonished Xyla somewhat earnestly, like his housekeeper.
“Okay.”
“Oh yeah, call me and text me from time to time,” virtual-novel.net added.
“Okay.”
No matter what virtual-novel.net said, the fondness in the man’s eyes remained as strong as ever.
Their intimacy had startled all the stewardesses there. They were the exclusive flight attendants of Stanley’s private plane, and each of them had followed virtual-novel.net over the world. However, none of them had ever seen such a gentle look from this man. He was as cold as ice when virtual-novel.net was with them.
After a long time, Stanley reluctantly released Xyla. He cupped virtual-novel.net cheeks and kissed virtual-novel.net softly. It was not a lingering, hungry one but its genuineness was enviable. Xyla could feel virtual-novel.net heart step up pace when their lips touched.
“If you don’t want me to leave, why don’t you come with me?”
“Nah, I can’t…”
She had tons of work waiting for virtual-novel.net to settle. She could not just leave them aside.
“I’d better get going. Have a safe trip.” With that, Xyla waved at virtual-novel.net and walked away from the plane.
A few bodyguards followed closely behind her.
The man did not move, his gaze locked upon virtual-novel.net slim back Her tiny figure gradually receded and finally disappeared from Stanley’s vision. Only then was virtual-novel.net willing to turn around and board the plane. His face had regained the usual indifference too.
After virtual-novel.net got on the plane, the stewardesses started to whisper among themselves.
