To outsiders, these people were unattainable celebrities. However, in front of Xyla Quest, they were like her younger siblings.
There wasn’t a woman in the world who didn’t like being complimented.
When Xyla heard these compliments, she instantly leaned against Stanley Batton and smiled brightly. “Alright, you guys… Stop saying that. Anyway, just make sure you photoshop my pictures and make me look nice.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Everyone said in unison.
Stanley affectionately wrapped his arms around Xyla’s shoulders. He then quietly looked at the demure woman in his arms. “They’re all right…”
Stanley’s voice wasn’t loud, but it had a huge effect…
As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire banquet hall went wild!
“D*mn… This public display of affection… I can’t take it…”
“What’s a heavenly couple? These two are…”
“Stanley is only this gentle to our president…”
“Why do I feel that everything he says is electrifying? Ahh…”
All the single people in the hall felt envious of the display of affection.
It was unbearably painful for them to watch this!
While listening to what everyone said, Xyla’s smile gradually widened…
When Josh Batton saw how happy Xyla seemed, he subconsciously began to smile too.
Although he was smiling on the outside, he felt mixed emotions on the inside.
There was no way of explaining how that felt.
***
After the ceremony ended, Stanley held Xyla’s hand and led her out…
Meanwhile, the bodyguards and others from the company followed the two respectfully.
