Xyla Quest picked up her landline to inform her assistant she was ready for a meeting in her office she had arranged with a few top executives the day before.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton sat nearby and played Honor of Kings on his phone with utmost concentration. His silhouette cut an imposing noble figure, looking every bit like an e-Sports professional. He even played like one, defeating every opponent that went against him in the game.For an experienced League of Legends player, Honor of Kings was even easier to play. He certainly seemed to be in his element while he played.Ten minutes later, top-level executives from each department entered Xyla’s office in an orderly fashion.They seemed taken aback to see Stanley as he wasn't expected to be in her office.His presence seemed to fluster the female executives as they seemed unable to tear their eyes away.It was hard for anyone not to notice him with his charismatic aura and appearance, drawing envious looks toward Xyla.

Their lips curved into identical smiles the moment they looked into each other’s eyes.It was what true love was like. Even if two people did nothing, they’d smile when they unintentionally exchanged glances.With her eyes still on Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest leaned back into her chair and continued to run the massage device on herself. “I am exhausted.”He stood up, approached her, and then picked her up to place her on the desk. He sat next to her and took over the massager, carefully running it over her waist. “Is this the right spot?”“Yeah,” she sighed, nodding slightly. "Are you bored?"“No.”“Really? What were you doing earlier?” she asked enthusiastically."I was playing games and watching you," he answered truthfully. "I was watching you most of the time, to be honest.”"You weren't bored?”“No. I never feel bored as long as I can see you,” he said.Knock, knock, knock—Xyla glanced at the door before calling out, “Come in!"Freda, Xyla’s new assistant, walked in, f

Stanley Batton’s lips began moving closer to Xyla Quest’s.Right then, the office door opened again without warning and Freda hurried in.“Ms. Quest, I wanted to ask if Mr. Batton can handle spicy food.”It was then that her eyes swept over the couple, realizing she had walked in on an intimate moment. In the next second, she quickly turned her back to them awkwardly, feeling embarrassed as she apologized frantically. “I’m terribly sorry! I didn’t know you were- sorry!”Xyla was mortified, pushing Stanley away to sit awkwardly behind her desk. “H-he eats whatever I eat.”Right then, she genuinely felt embarrassed but she had to regain her composure.Meanwhile, Stanley acted as if nothing happened and continued to look playfully at her.“All right, I’ll leave now,” Freda said respectfully after hearing what Xyla said.With that, she practically ran out, leaning back against the wall as soon as she was outside. What she just witnessed made her feel way too awkward.‘Ahh!’ sh

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton had indeed spent very little time with each other during the day, but the opposite was true at night.“We spend much less time together than we used to since we're both so busy. On top of that, we have to spend time with our children when we get home. We certainly don’t have a lot of time with each other,” he explained.“But I don’t mind. I don’t need you to be with me all the time,” she said.“But I mind," he insisted. "Work is important, but spending time with each other is equally important. Otherwise, we’d grow distant.”Xyla felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She didn’t think a man could be more thoughtful than her.“Wouldn’t you be neglecting work to be here with me? Haven’t we spent enough time together during my postpartum recovery?” she wondered.“That’s different. I needed to take care of you during your postpartum recovery. That doesn’t mean I don’t have to spend more time with you after that.” Stanley had always cared about qua

After the awkward encounter earlier, Freda would be sure to knock before entering Xyla Quest's office next time.So, she allowed Stanley Batton to do what he wanted and indulged him for now.She rested her head against his shoulder and relaxed. “Which game did you play today?”“Honor of Kings,” he answered.“Did you win?”“Yeah, I was great in every match,” he replied smugly.“Awesome.”Talking about games made Xyla want to play, too, but the rational part of her mind was telling her to prioritize work first.She still had a lot of work to deal with, and once she started playing, she would lose track of time.She would have to start working in earnest after lunch.“My teammates were great, too, so it wasn't so bad,” he said.He then gazed at her. “Team XS has been doing well lately.”Team XS had been winning every match since the spring tournament and maintained their number one spot in the league.They didn’t even lose in minor battles.It seemed very likely they would b

“Yes.” Freda’s face reddened before she sped away. Once she was gone, the atmosphere became quiet once more.Xyla Quest's hunger became apparent as the aroma from the food containers circulated her office. Eagerly, she brought them over to the coffee table while her husband followed closely behind her.They simultaneously took their containers to unpack them. Inside, they found three dishes in total, including stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, minced meat, and braised eggplants.They both liked these dishes.After lunch, Xyla resumed her work while Stanley Batton settled on the couch to continue playing his games as he accompanied her in the office.Although neither of them intruded on each other's space, they seemed perfectly content together.At the same time, her employees were spamming messages in the company’s WeChat group, where the main topic was regarding Stanley's presence in their building.“Mr. Batton doesn’t plan on leaving today, does he? Ms. Quest is busy working wh

Xyla Quest seemed as fresh-faced as ever, even though she hadn’t reapplied any makeup since she left the house that morning.Discovering that her makeup hadn’t faded at all, she had to admit that the cosmetics she recently purchased were very long-lasting.However, since she had a photoshoot, she reapplied a bright red lipstick to make sure her photos would look great later.She had naturally fair skin, and with the bright red lipstick, her complexion seemed even brighter.The striking red color instantly made her seem elegant.Someone knocked on the door again just as she finished reapplying lipstick.“Come in.”Freda entered, escorting the interview crew from HC Magazine into her office.A female journalist led the group, wearing a lapel mic as two photographers and a gaffer trailed behind her.As they entered, they first saw Xyla before noticing Stanley Batton, making them gasp.People like him didn’t require much effort to make others feel intimidated.The journalist has

“He made time to be with me because he feels that we haven't spent much time together recently.“He set aside a lot of his important tasks at the company to do that,” Xyla Quest said with a helpless expression on her face.Although she felt helpless as she spoke, she also felt absurdly happy.The journalist couldn't help feeling envious when she heard this. “I see. Mr. Batton is indeed well-known for how much he adores his wife. Ms. Quest, you must be very happy.”Xyla chuckled. “Yeah, I am. I have to thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband.”“You’re also wonderful yourself. That’s why you are blessed with a good husband,” the other woman said.“Thank you.”“From what I know, Quest Group’s stock price has increased rapidly since you took over. You've even gotten involved in many industries you never had in the past. Moreover, they've achieved excellent results.“They say you’re an investment genius. What do you have to say about this?” the journalist added.“I don’t t

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
