In the next second, Xyla Quest's heart started beating wildly...
"Honey... I really like the way you look when you're shy." Stanley Batton's smile gradually widened.
"Really?" Xyla asked.
"Yeah. Apart from how you look when you're shy, I also like..." Stanley trailed off.
"What else do you like?" Xyla asked.
"I like you in every way," Stanley said in the most affectionate tone despite his serious facial expression.

"Alright." Stanley's eyes were filled with affection.
Beep, beep, beep- Right then, Stanley's phone started ringing.
He immediately glanced at the screen.
When Stanley saw that the call was from the Vice President, Liam Smith, he calmly picked it up.
Xyla felt a little bored. Hence, she walked over to the window and looked out at the night scenery as the cold breeze blew against her.
Although the night scenery of the small city wasn't as busy and crowded as Atlantis, it was very peaceful. At one glance, there were very few people and cars on the road. It was very calming to watch. However, since Xyla was used to the large city, she still felt a little not used to the empty streets. After approximately ten minutes, Stanley's call ended, and he walked up to her from behind.
Immediately after that, Stanley reached out and naturally hugged her in his arms as he gently pressed his chin against her shoulder. His warm breath blew against the back of her ear and neck.
It felt as if countless electric currents were cruising through her body. Suddenly, Xyla felt her heart rate speeding up numbingly.
"Liam gavea call..." Stanley said.
"What did he say?" Xyla asked.
"He found out all about what happened to us at the jade mine. He said he didn't know that person at all. His wife, Rebecca, only has a very normal relationship with that person's elder sister...
"He didn't give that person the permission to set up a mine here and harvest resources. The person also confessed in the police station that, after arriving here, he started doing all sorts of things using Liam's name...
"The officers here had all turned a blind eye to what he did because they were concerned with his relationship with Liam.

"Okay..." Xyla replied calmly.
When what happened at the jade mine today was brought up, she felt a little disgusted. "Liam also apologized to me... He felt very sorry," Stanley added.
"This has nothing to do with him. He's very innocent too..." Xyla said.
When Xyla put himself in Liam's shoes, she felt that he probably m wanted to kill that man... What on earth was going on? "Yeah... I said that too. He's not to be blamed for this," Stanley said.
Xyla nodded gently...
Beep, beep, beep- Right then, Xyla's phone started to ring once more.
The content that appeared on her phone screen filled her eyes with spock. X
