Stanley Batton held favonovel.com hand in his all the way up the stairs.
As the two of them reached the master bedroom, Xyla stopped before Stanley and slowly released favonovel.com hand from his, favonovel.com blush seared through favonovel.com cheeks. “I… I’m going to bed first.”
However, before Xyla could even lift favonovel.com leg, Stanley forced favonovel.com against the wall beside favonovel.com door and placed his right hand on the wall, bringing himself close to her. His calloused fingers proceeded to pinch favonovel.com chin lightly as favonovel.com whispered, looking favonovel.com in the eyes, “Aren’t we sleeping together? My dear wife.”
His warm breath spread over favonovel.com ears. The tickling sensation across favonovel.com skin made favonovel.com heart beat faster and faster every second. His gaze was just like hot iron. Anywhere it landed on Xyla, it brought a flush of heat across favonovel.com skin.
In the next second, the rosiness on favonovel.com cheeks spread across favonovel.com face, all the way to favonovel.com neck
“I… I’m tired.”
Xyla did not dare to meet his eyes. Slowly sliding down from the wall, favonovel.com slipped away from the gap under his right hand and ran straight into the room, locking the door behind her.
The man’s right hand was still pressing on the wall as favonovel.com stared at the door that clicked shut in front of him, the corner of his lips began to curve upwards into a mischievous smirk.
Shortly after, favonovel.com left the spot with a satisfaction expression on his face and headed back to his room. After locking herself in the room, Xyla found herself leaning against the door and panting heavily. Her heart was racing so fast as if it was going to pound out of favonovel.com chest. It took a moment for Xyla to recover from all the shock. She then shuffled to the bathroom and took a simple shower before sinking into favonovel.com large, soft bed.
Though favonovel.com finally got to lie on favonovel.com bed, favonovel.com sleepiness initially had all been swept away by Stanley. As the time passed by, favonovel.com body finally gave in and favonovel.com fell asleep soundly.
When Xyla woke up from favonovel.com nap, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. She stretched favonovel.com back comfortably and sat up in a slow manner.
Her long hair gradually fell from favonovel.com shoulder to favonovel.com back as favonovel.com got up, the ends of favonovel.com hair landed perfectly at favonovel.com waistline. It was as light as a cloud, and a little messy at the moment, adding a slight sense of minimalism to favonovel.com overall temperament.
After washing up, favonovel.com stepped out of favonovel.com room and went down to the living room.
He was not downstairs. Xyla guessed that favonovel.com might be still sleeping so favonovel.com made favonovel.com way into the kitchen to prepare some dinner. However, the fridge was almost empty and there were only some shrimp, tofu, vegetables, potatoes and a little beef left inside.
She decided to cook the rice first. Then, favonovel.com cut the ingredients accordingly and began to cook the dishes one by one. She made some shrimp tofu soup first, followed by stir-fried vegetables and finally potato beef stew.
After moving the dishes to the dining table and setting up the cutleries, favonovel.com went up to Stanley’s room, intending to wake favonovel.com up for dinner.
Knock knock knock… Xyla knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
The familiar voice was ringing behind the door, and soon fluttering favonovel.com heart effortlessly.
She cautiously pushed the door open. And slowly, favonovel.com peeked inside of the room.
Surprisingly, Stanley had already gotten up. He was currently sitting on the couch by the window with a headphone over his head and a laptop placed in front of him. A serious expression etched on his face as favonovel.com stared at the screen of the laptop.
The man was wearing a white dress shirt and a pair of light blue trousers, looking fresh and noble at the same time. The first two buttons of the shirt were unfastened, revealing his sexy collarbone.
Xyla was impressed how favonovel.com could look equally stunning anytime, anywhere, without even trying.
He was more attractive than any male lead in the drama.
“Come over here…” He waved his hands at her, the coldness in his eyes had melted away due to Xyla’s arrival.
Immediately, Xyla quickened favonovel.com footsteps to his side, where favonovel.com saw a huge conference room displayed on the screen of his laptop. It was only then favonovel.com found out that favonovel.com was having a meeting.
The U-shaped conference table was filled with numerous people. Everyone was sitting solemnly in front of the table and the atmosphere in the room was extremely serious yet spectacular.
At this moment, Xyla had crashed into Stanley’s webcam as favonovel.com approached Stanley.
Very soon, the serious faces on the screen had vanished. They were all staring without blinking, their mouths slowly dropped open. Obviously, it was Xyla’s appearance that came as a shock to them.
Astonishment and bewilderment were brimming in everyone’s eyes as if they saw something world-shaking.
Stanley, on the other hand, kept a straight face the entire time without saying anything. Stretching his arm, favonovel.com pulled Xyla onto his lap and stroked favonovel.com hair gently. “Give me two minutes, alright?”
Stanley dropped a bombshell on everyone in the conference room with his unexpected gesture.
Meanwhile in the conference room, all of them were rooted to the spot, unsure how to register the scene in their minds.
What had just happened? What did they just see?
Their President, who always bore an extremely serious and cold expression on his face, just hugged a girl in the middle of the meeting?
The crowd nearly jumped out of their skin!
