Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Stanley Batton held her hand in his all the way up the stairs.

As the two of them reached the master bedroom, Xyla Quest stopped before Stanley and slowly released her hand from his, her blush seared through her cheeks. "I... I'm going to bed first." However, before Xyla could even lift her leg, Stanley forced her against the wall beside her door and placed his right hand on the wall, bringing himself close to her. His calloused fingers proceeded to pinch her chin lightly as he whispered, looking her in the eyes, "Aren't we sleeping together? My dear wife." His warm breath spread over her ears. The tickling sensation across her skin made her 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 her skin.

In the next second, the rosiness on her cheeks spread across her face, all the way to her neck.

"I... I'm tired." Xyla did not dare to meet his eyes. Slowly sliding down from the wall, she 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 he 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, he 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 her 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 her large, soft bed. Search the Find NøvelWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Though she finally got to lie on her bed, her sleepiness initially had all been swept away by Stanley. As the tpassed by, her body finally gave in and she fell asleep soundly.

When Xyla woke up from her nap, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

She stretched her back comfortably and sat up in a slow manner.

Her long hair gradually fell from her shoulder to her back as she got up, the ends of her hair landed perfectly at her waistline. It was as light as a cloud, and a little messy at the moment, adding a slight sense of minimalism to her overall temperament.

After washing up, she stepped out of her room and went down to the living room.

He was not downstairs. Xyla guessed that he might be still sleeping so she made her way into the kitchen to prepare sdinner.

However, the fridge was almost empty and there were only sshrimp, tofu, vegetables, potatoes and a little beef left inside.

She decided to cook the rice first.

Then, she cut the ingredients accordingly and began to cook the dishes one by one. She made sshrimp 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, she went up to Stanley's room, intending to wake him up for dinner.

Knock knock knock... Xyla knocked on the door.

"Cin." The familiar voice was ringing behind the door, and soon fluttering her heart effortlessly.

She cautiously pushed the door open.

And slowly, she 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 he 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 stime.

The first two buttons of the shirt were unfastened, revealing his sexy collarbone.

Xyla was impressed how he could look equally stunning anytime, anywhere, without even trying.

He was more attractive than any male lead in the .

"Cover here..." He waved his hands at her, the coldness in his eyes had melted away due to Xyla's arrival.

Immediately, Xyla quickened her footsteps to his side, where she saw a huge conference room displayed on the screen of his laptop. It was only then she found out that he 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 she 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 cas 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 twithout saying anything. Stretching his arm, he pulled Xyla onto his lap and stroked her hair gently. "Givetwo 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!!! X
