“Xyla, do you get what the gossip is about now?” Georgie Clementine asked.
“Yes, I do…” Xyla Quest said.
“Hurry up and clarify things. Otherwise, the more widespread it becomes, the more bizarre it gets. Most importantly, it also affects you and Stanley’s image,” Georgie added.
“Okay. I’ll clarify things. Don’t worry,” Xyla said.
After talking for a while, Xyla hung up the phone.
Right then, Stanley Batton came in with a plate of braised pork.
The braised pork he made seemed so delicious and aromatic that it made Xyla hungry.
Stanley walked up behind her and placed the braised pork in front of her.
“Enjoy… Don’t look at your phone,” Stanley whispered next to her ear as he propped one hand on the table.
Xyla’s body was half-covered by his arms. With them being so close to each other, there was an endless sense of love in the air.
Stanley’s warm breath once again spread around her earlobe. There was an electrifying sensation that tingled her.
Suddenly, endless ripples were stirred up in her heart.
“I want to enjoy, too… But look at this…” Xyla held the phone in front of Stanley’s face as she waved it around. She gazed into his eyes gently. There was a sense of helplessness in her eyes.
They were very close to each other. In fact, they were so close that Xyla could see every little detail on Stanley’s face.
Stanley slowly and methodically shifted his gaze to her face. He then took the phone, stood up straight, and looked at it…
Seeing those posts by marketing accounts, he instantly frowned. “What’s all this mess?”
“There’s nothing between Jay and I. I bumped into him when I went to the office this afternoon. His van broke down, and he was in a hurry to get to the magazine company for a shoot. Hence, I gave him a ride…” Xyla hurriedly explained.
“Alright, I understand…” Stanley gently rubbed her head. His gaze seemed as affectionate as ever.
“Really?” Xyla had a curious look in her eyes.
