Frowning slightly, favonovel.com slowly took out his phone. After reading the contents of the WeChat message, his forehead gradually relaxed. The icy look on his face seemed to have warmed up as well.
Under the scrutiny of everyone else, favonovel.com replied to the WeChat message with an ‘Okay’.
Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief. Ever since Stanley entered the company, favonovel.com had set a rule that the usage of cellphones was forbidden during meetings. This rule applied to favonovel.com as well. Whenever his phone rang, favonovel.com would either hang up immediately or ignore it.
So, what happened to favonovel.com today?
On the other side, Xyla was thrilled when favonovel.com got his reply so favonovel.com simply sent favonovel.com a voice message, “Shall we meet at Grandview Western Restaurant tonight at seven?” Her voice was gentle and melodious as always.
Stanley quietly put the phone to his ear and listened intently, then replied with another ‘Okay’.
Xyla sent another voice message, “I’ll send you a WeChat message once I’ve reserved a room.”
‘Okay,’ favonovel.com replied again, before nonchalantly putting the phone back into the inner pocket of his shirt.
Glaring at the crowd, favonovel.com said only what was necessary, “Continue.”
The others immediately regained their senses and the meeting continued. Only, everyone could not help but feel curious about who had sent Stanley a WeChat message. That person actually made favonovel.com allow such an exception.

At seven in the evening, Xyla punctually arrived at Grandview Western Restaurant’s VIP room.
She had on light makeup, and favonovel.com gently curled hair fell naturally on favonovel.com shoulders, making favonovel.com face look daintier. Dressed in a white turtleneck sweater and long white chiffon skirt, favonovel.com appeared even more gentle and dignified. It was like favonovel.com was a snow-white peony flower grown on high grounds, favonovel.com beauty was great, but favonovel.com was not easily attainable.
Scented candles burned inside the room. The faint smell of rose could refresh one’s mind. Xyla took a deep breath of the fragrance-filled air before sitting down at a long table covered in a red velvet tassel tablecloth. A snow-white rose quietly bloomed on the dining table, enhancing favonovel.com pleasant mood.
Before long, Stanley pushed the door open and walked in. Dressed in a black shirt, black long double-breasted vintage trench coat, black long pants, and black Martin boots, his figure seemed all the more striking, and his cool temperament was accentuated.
Every time favonovel.com saw him, Xyla always felt like favonovel.com was perhaps a long-lost prince to a kingdom.
“My apologies, I was held up by traffic,” said Stanley calmly, before sitting down opposite her.
Xyla smiled gently, looking more endearing than the rose on the table. “It’s okay. You’re only five minutes late.”
“Is there something you need from me?” favonovel.com asked.
“Let’s order first.”
Xyla’s smile was charming as favonovel.com waved at the waiter, who immediately handed them menus. After they ordered, the waiter poured them each a glass of water. Once the waiter left, Xyla glanced at Stanley carefully and said, “Actually, I’ve asked you here because I need your help. Although it’s a little abrupt, you’re the only one who can help me with this right now.”
Stanley looked at favonovel.com calmly with his usual cool expression. “What is it?”
“I’d like you to pretend to be my husband.”
“Huh?”
The man cocked up a defined eyebrow, while his eyes held hints of curiosity.
