“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?

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

Stanley Batton’s legs were indeed long, perhaps a little too long for the couch.Xyla Quest approached him, spurring him to reach out to pull her onto his length.She began to blush as the level of intimacy made her heart race. Recalling the incident earlier in the morning, she gently pushed his chest to straighten up next to him. “Stop it, it’s annoying. I told you to be more mindful when we’re in the office.”He smiled. “Oh, I know. I’ll pay attention next time.”With that, he slowly sat up and pulled her onto his lap again.“Didn’t we just go over this?” she scolded.Her husband hadn't stayed true to his words when he said he would pay attention the next time.She was too tired to argue.“I’m already very careful,” he said with an affectionate expression. Xyla stood up to reposition herself next to him, her face still flushed from before. “The interview is over.”“Hmm.”“They asked a lot of questions about you,” she sighed wearily.“How did you answer?” he asked curio

“That means I love you,” Stanley Batton declared, wearing a wary expression on his face. He had changed the topic hastily.“I was joking," Xyla Quest laughed. "Look at how nervous you are.”“How can I not be nervous when your emotions are involved?”She couldn’t resist resting her head against his shoulder. “Okay, I have to get back to work. Do whatever you want, all right?”“I’ve been spending so much time here with you, so shouldn’t you reward me? Hmm?” he asked.She took one look at his perfect face and smiled. “What do you have in mind, huh?”Turning fully to look at her, Stanley pressed his nose against hers. “What do you think?”His tone had a seductive effect on Xyla, instantly making her heart pound rapidly.She pressed a tender kiss on his lips before quickly standing up, hastening her footsteps away to avoid his wandering hands again. “Is that sufficient? I’m going back to work.”Stanley touched his lips while he gazed at her from behind. After that, he checked on We

“Hahaha! Is Stanley very free right now? Did he just like all the comments that praised Xyla?”“Hahaha! He’s such a great husband. I can’t stop laughing. Stanley, isn’t your hand tired?”“Why do I suddenly feel like Stanley is a little too adorable?”“I couldn’t tell Stanley was someone who enjoyed liking comments.”“I envy those people whose comments he liked. I’m extremely jealous.”“Stanley must love Xyla a lot to do this.”“There’s a certain kind of love that only exists between Xyla and Stanley.”Stanley Batton didn’t expect anyone would pay so much attention to his simple act of liking comments.He felt rather speechless about it after briefly glancing at such comments.He perused the list of hot topics again but found nothing else of interest, so he clicked on a news application and began reading the news.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was still hard at work, blissfully unaware of what was happening on the internet.At six o’clock, she was finally done with work.Days were m

“It’s fine," Xyla Quest insisted. "I can walk on my own. I’m not that helpless.”However, Stanley Batton ignored her and proceeded to carry her into the elevator to get to the first floor.At that hour, the lobby was busy as some of the employees working overtime were also rushing to leave.Everyone instantly focused their gazes on the couple as they stepped out, making Xyla feel a little embarrassed with so many pairs of eyes on her. Suddenly, these people all felt envious of them both.“Hello, Ms. Quest.”“Hello, Mr. Batton.”Employees began to greet them as they passed, prompting her to nod awkwardly while Stanley kept a neutral expression on his face.“Put me down. Many people are watching,” she muttered, struggling to set herself free.She felt even more mortified when she noticed people taking pictures of them.However, it didn’t seem like her husband intended to put her down. Instead, he continued to walk outside.“Listen to me,” she began to protest again.“Be a go

The sleek black Bugatti Veyron glistened elegantly in the parking lot, attracting everyone’s attention.While they checked out the luxury car, they also happened to witness Stanley Batton carefully applying medicated ointment on Xyla Quest.This initiated another round of commentaries from everyone once again—“Oh my god! Look at how gentle Mr. Batton is. See the look in his eyes?”“We’re talking about a CEO here, aren’t we? From now on, all the male protagonists in the novels I read have his face.”“He seems to be so cautious with her. It’s almost as if he’s looking after a baby. Our president seems so happy.”“Honestly, that looks like a scene out of a well-made idol drama. I can’t believe it.”“Most importantly, they look so good together even from this distance.”“Isn’t our president so beautiful? I feel attracted even as a woman, let alone a normal man like Stanley.”The couple under scrutiny and at the center of attention didn’t even notice anything outside the car. They

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.

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

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.

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.
