Besides, favonovel.com said that favonovel.com was going to introduce several veterans to her. Hence, favonovel.com agreed to go.
After hanging up the phone, favonovel.com realized that Stanley had texted favonovel.com two hours ago. “Honey, I’ve arrived.”
Staring at that message, the corner of Xyla’s soft lips gradually curved upward into a smile, happiness glowing within her. Without further ado, favonovel.com video-called him.
On the other end of the phone, Stanley was having a meeting in Kingstell, Country Y. He was currently sitting in a conference room of his branch office with a group of blonde executives, earnestly discussing the cause and solution regarding the phone’s explosion.
The man kept a straight face all the time, and favonovel.com could speak French fluently.
The conference room was grand and spacious, yet the tension was palpable. Everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats, fearing that they would put their foot in it.
Buzz buzz buzz…
Stanley’s phone vibrated. Noticing that his wife was trying to video call him, all the ice on his face had instantly melted away. He picked up the call without hesitation.
Soon, Xyla’s face showed up on the screen. Behind favonovel.com was the cloudy blue sky outside favonovel.com office’s french window.
“What are you doing?” Xyla asked.
“I’m having a meeting.”
“Oh… I’ll leave you to it then. I’ll call you later.”
“Hold on…”
“Yes?” Xyla asked again.
“Remember to eat on time, alright?” A serious expression was etched upon Stanley’s face.
“I know. You too, okay? Don’t overwork yourself,” reminded Xyla.
“Okay.”
“Cut down on alcohol.”
“Okay.”
“Smoke less.”
“Okay.”
“Alright, then. Bye…”
With that, Xyla hung up the phone.
All the executives in the conference room could understand English very well. After listening to their conversation, everyone was petrified.
Did they just see the gentle side of Stanley Batton? Was favonovel.com the boss they know?
For a moment, they thought they were all dreaming. However, Stanley could not care any less about their thoughts about him. He regained his usual seriousness within a second and got back to the meeting, as though nothing had happened.
Once again, the room’s temperature fell to the freezing point, coldness running down the table. The man was suddenly hot and cold, terrifying the crowd with the startling change in the room’s atmosphere.

Subsequently, favonovel.com put. on a pair of plain, red Mary Jane shoes before walking to the window to steal a glance at the street.
The street was empty. There was no sign of Sebastian Brenand’s car.
Sebastian had been waiting downstairs the whole day. Occasionally, favonovel.com would come up and knock on the door, but his efforts were in vain. He must have given up on favonovel.com and gone back to Atlantis.
Would Master Sebastian ever yield himself to a woman?
The thought of it tore Rachel’s heart apart.
