Xyla put his call on hold before continuing to talk to Georgie. “Alright, alright, do as you please,” Georgie said helplessly. “That’s settled then. I have things to take care of so I’m hanging up. Let’s have a meal next time,” said Xyla. She ended her call with Georgie and switched over to Josh’s call. “Where are you? Do you have time for dinner?” Josh Batton’s voice sounded crisp and gentle as usual. “Yeah, I’m at the Quest Group,” replied Xyla. “I’ll come pick you up. I’ll be there in half an hour.” “Okay.”After hanging up, Xyla browsed through a few more documents. When it was almost time for Josh to arrive, she swiftly touched up her makeup before pulling her hair up into a ponytail and went downstairs with her backpack.Just then, a black Rolls Royce pulled up and stopped right in front of her. The car window rolled down, revealing Josh Batton’s smile. He was driving so there was no one else in the car. “Get in,” he said. Xyla scanned her surroundings. Verifyin

“Oh, that’s a small issue,” Josh remarked casually. “How is this a small issue?” Xyla frowned. “It seems like the company needs to give you a few more bodyguards. Five is clearly not enough.” “Are you really that concerned about me?”Josh’s lips curled into a dazzling grin. His smile had a purification effect. In an instant, the air inside the car became more refreshing. Xyla looked solemn. “Be serious.” “Okay, okay, okay…” Josh’s eyes were filled with affection. The light turned green and the car moved forward steadily. *** About ten minutes later, Josh’s car stopped at the entrance of Serenity, a high-class western restaurant. Josh swiftly put on black sunglasses, a black cap, and a mask before leading Xyla into the restaurant, keeping a low profile. Once inside, the handsome restaurant manager showed them to the luxurious private room on the second floor. The interior design was reminiscent of an European palace—bedazzled and extremely luxurious. Besides the long,

“Why wouldn’t there be? Don’t you have tons of them around you? What’s so good about a married woman like me?” said Xyla, maintaining her kind and polite smile the entire time. The passion in Josh’s eyes grew deeper. “Then, why don’t I see them? I think you’re the best. Since you’ve already planned to get a divorce, why not leave me a spot? Once you’re divorced, I can fill it.” “I always thought of you as a business partner, a friend.” “Then, you can stop thinking of me as a friend. Treating me as a backup works too.” It was hard to imagine that this person who was worshipped by countless people like a precious star would actually say something like wanting to become a backup option. This man was Josh Batton. The unattainable star in many young girls’ hearts. However, Xyla did not waver. “I don’t have a habit of keeping backups. Josh Batton, you’re a great and excellent person. Listen to me and look ahead. Keep your options open.” “I will wait for you.” Josh was reluctant

Xyla was dumbstruck and instantly asked, “Who are you guys?” The men in black clothing remained silent, simply politely nodding at her in unison before walking over to Josh. “Come with us.” Compared to Xyla, Josh was much calmer and seemed composed. “Can’t you see that I’m on a date?” he asked. However, without waiting for him to speak, the man in black leading the group beckoned the others. In a flash, Josh was forcefully picked up by a few men. “Pardon me,” said the leader of the group. Xyla immediately frowned hard. She got up and asked, “Who are you guys? Do you have any idea what you’re doing right now?” “It’s okay, I know these people. They’re from my family,” Josh comforted her. Xyla’s heart gradually relaxed at this. “Come with us,” the leader of the group repeated. After that, they took Josh away by force. He struggled and resisted, but it was futile. Finally, he could only let them take him away.He turned to Xyla and smiled. “Wait for me, I’ll be back soon

Both appearances could destroy cities, but they were of different types. One was so handsome that he had a strong, pressuring aura, while the other was so handsome that he seemed completely harmless. One was apathetic and aloof, the other was warm and pure. “Why are you here? You got them to bring me over urgently, what for?” Josh was a tad annoyed. How could Stanley do this? The man forcefully interrupted Josh’s date, ignored everything else, and simply got someone to drag him out of the restaurant. “Why did you ignore Zack’s calls?” Stanley took a long draw of his cigarette before slowly breathing it out. Under the haze of smoke, unreadable emotions surged behind his dark eyes. “I didn’t turn on my phone during work. I saw the missed calls after work, but because I had more important business to attend to, I forgot to call him back,” Josh answered honestly. “Your so-called important business was a date with Xyla Quest?” Stanley asked. “...Why do you seem to know my exact

“We’ve met, but she still doesn’t know who I am. It’s difficult to explain certain things to you right now. Just remember that she belongs to me. As for everything else, don’t say too much, and don’t ask too much, got it? Just like how I don’t get involved with your work in the entertainment industry, and haven’t exposed your identity, I hope you can treat me in the same way,” Stanley said each word sternly.Although Josh did not understand what exactly Stanley was trying to say, he nodded and did not ask any further.“I’ve got it,” said Josh, nodding again.“Alright, go and make things clear,” said Stanley as he took out his lighter and played with it. A small flame flickered between his fingers.“I understand, and I won’t keep thinking about my sister-in-law anymore.”“Yeah. I hope you can keep your promise,” replied Stanley.Getting out of the car, Josh took a deep breath before turning around and heading back into the restaurant, waving his hand as he walked. He had no idea h

After dinner, Josh drove Xyla home. Throughout the journey, he remained silent with a deep frown on his face. Since it was very dark in the car, Xyla did not notice any changes in his facial expression. When they arrived at the entrance to the Quest family’s villa, the car came to a stable halt. During the meal, Xyla had drunk a bit of red wine. Although she did not think it was a lot at the time, she was beginning to feel the effects kicking in now. Josh drove her all the way to the front of her house. Once the car stopped in front of the main building, Xyla turned around to look at him. “Thank you for sending me home. Get back safely. Goodnight.” Closing the car door behind her, she started to walk towards her house. “Hold on…” said Josh, getting out of the car. The cold northern wind made both Xyla and Josh shiver a little. “Whenever and wherever you need help, you can come to me. Even if we can’t be lovers, I hope we can still be good friends,” said Josh sincerely with a

At such a close distance, Xyla’s heart was nearly beating out of control. “Untangle it, quickly,” she said. “Okay… I’ll untangle it,” replied Stanley.The closer they were, the better his voice sounded. It sounded like an expensive cello which played a beautiful melody. There was a noble quality to his deep-sounding voice. Listening to it, Xyla felt like she was becoming even more intoxicated. “Is it untangled yet?” she asked. “Hold on…”Stanley lowered his head while he carefully tried to untangle Xyla’s hair from his button. However, there seemed to be an unresolvable knot which could not be untangled swiftly. While their bodies were tightly pressed against each other, Xyla dared not move about, for fear that she might hurt herself from tugging her hair too hard. In between breaths, her hair softly rubbed against his face. It caused an itchy sensation. For some reason, Xyla felt something pressing against her from behind. Her body trembled and she subconsciously took a st
