However, Stanley Batton did not reply to Xyla Quest. Instead, favonovel.com walked over to a female waitress who was drooling over him.
Meanwhile, Xyla did not ask any further as favonovel.com sat down on the couch.
Outside, the northern wind blew as snow filled the air and made the world appear somewhat colder than it was. Although it was only a door away, it seemed like a completely different world altogether.
After glancing at the view of the snowy scenery outside, Xyla rested favonovel.com chin on one hand and looked over at Stanley.
She wondered what favonovel.com was saying to the waitress. After a while, someone retrieved a bottle of mineral water from a nearby fridge. The person then handed it over to Stanley, along with a white towel.
Stanley soon returned to Xyla with those items. Carefully, favonovel.com wrapped the bottle of mineral water with the towel before pressing it gently against Xyla’s swollen face.
In that instant, Xyla could feel the coolness against favonovel.com face. The sting from the slap earlier began to fade away. Although favonovel.com face felt cold, favonovel.com heart was very warm.
“Thank you. I’ll do it myself,” Xyla said as favonovel.com took the bottle and towel from Stanley and continued to press them against favonovel.com face.
“You’re welcome,” Stanley said before shifting his gaze slowly to the view outside the door.
His high nose-bridge and perfect jawline, coupled with his elegant posture while sitting, was a sight to behold from Xyla’s point of view.
Since favonovel.com started the X Entertainment company, favonovel.com had seen countless handsome men. However, none of them looked more handsome than Stanley. Xyla could not help but wonder if Stanley would be even more popular than Josh Batton if favonovel.com joined the entertainment industry.
Although Josh was already very good-looking, Five Batton was even more handsome than the former. Unfortunately, Stanley was not interested in that industry at all.
When Stanley turned his head around, their eyes met.
“What are you looking at?” He asked.
“Do you know Josh Batton? I was thinking, if you were to join the entertainment industry, you would probably be more popular than Josh Batton.”
“So what?” Stanley asked in his usual aloofness, almost as if money meant nothing to him.
Xyla felt truly curious as to how this person could think of money as being unimportant. Any normal human would be tempted by the amount of five to six hundred million dollars.
But him? Not at all.
Was it because favonovel.com was completely uninterested in the entertainment industry?
However, it was fine if that were the case. But, why was favonovel.com so uninterested in money as well?
Since favonovel.com was not interested in money, why did favonovel.com choose to work in the field favonovel.com was currently in?
“You really are special,” Xyla said.
“Is that so?” Stanley slowly looked over at Xyla before favonovel.com took a puff of his cigarette.
“Yeah. How are you able to completely disregard huge amounts of money?” Xyla asked.
“Huge amounts?” Stanley asked.
“Don’t you think they are?”
“Yeah, huge…” Stanley said.
“Well, why are you so calm about it?” Xyla asked.
“Should I not be calm?” He asked.
Xyla nodded.
“Okay. I’ll pay attention the next time,” favonovel.com said.
Xyla shook favonovel.com head speechlessly. She did not know how this person’s brain was wired up.
Gently, Xyla put down the bottled water and towel.
“My face feels much better. Let’s leave,” favonovel.com said.
Stanley swiftly took off his coat before helping Xyla into it. Before favonovel.com could speak, Stanley took the lead and walked out into the snow-filled open space.
Xyla could still feel his warmth from the coat as it surrounded her. Knowing his attitude, Xyla did not say anything as favonovel.com silently walked behind favonovel.com through the wind and snow. Soon, they entered an underground parking lot.
As soon as they entered the parking lot, six large men with bats in their hands got out of a black van. The men surrounded them without saying a word.
