When the six luxury cars arrived in front of the company’s building, Xyla Quest looked up and saw that the building’s top floor lights were still on.
Zack Cassidy, who was waiting at the door, saw Xyla and quickly stepped forward to open the door for her respectfully.
“What are you doing here?” Xyla’s eyes flashed with a slight look of surprise.
“Mr. Batton asked me to come down and get you directly to the conference room,” Zack said.
“Oh… I brought Japanese food. Help carry these up with the rest…” Xyla said.
“I know you all mustn’t have had your dinner yet…” She added.
Zack’s eyes filled with gratitude. “Ma’am… That’s very kind of you. We really haven’t had dinner yet…”
Xyla laughed nonchalantly. “Why so courteous now? I’ll not be going into the conference room. I’ll wait for him in his office,” she said.
“Mr. Batton said you must go to the conference room. He… He misses you…” Zack said.
Xyla was speechless.
“Don’t make things difficult for me… Please?” Zack asked.
Xyla nodded helplessly before walking into the company building.
Meanwhile, Zack and the many bodyguards quickly picked up the Japanese food Xyla had bought and followed behind her in a grand formation.
Under Zack’s guidance, Xyla walked to the huge conference room on the top floor…
By then, the seats around the immaculate U-shaped desk were fully occupied.
Stanley Batton was sitting in the main seat.
He was wearing a white shirt, coupled with a pair of black pants and black leather shoes. Without a tie on, the two buttons in front of his collar were casually left open. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbow, and he seemed tidy and noble.
With a cold expression upon his face, he listened while a female executive presented her report.
Stanley’s aura was very powerful. All the high-level executives present were sitting upright, and they didn’t even dare to make a sound.
The huge conference room seemed to have an extremely tense atmosphere.
When Stanley heard the door open, he immediately looked over.
