Instead, they were Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates…
Xyla Quest immediately smiled when she saw them. “Why are you two here?”
Georgie Clementiwne hadn’t told Xyla in advance that the two were coming.
Xyla felt somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Annabeth wore a white dress. She had light makeup on and also wore contact lenses and silver high heels. She looked innocent and adorable.
On the other hand, Josh wore a casual white shirt and long, beige pants, as well as a pair of white sneakers. He seemed neat and handsome.
Although Annabeth was not as good-looking as Josh, the two of them looked comfortable next to each other.
Xyla never noticed this before, but the two of them looked good as a couple.
“Henry asked us to come…” Josh smiled a little before holding Annabeth’s hand. They walked over to Xyla and Georgie before sitting down across from them.
Xyla and Georgie used to be Annabeth’s superior at work. Although they were on the same level now, Annabeth still felt nervous and restrained when she saw them.
As soon as Annabeth sat down, she started pouring tea for the two of them.
When Xyla saw this, she immediately picked up her teacup and smiled. “It’s fine. I can do it myself…”
Annabeth insisted on pouring tea for Xyla and Georgie.
Neither of them could stop her.
After that, Annabeth poured herself and Josh a cup of tea each.
When Annabeth looked up at how beautiful Xyla seemed, she thought of herself and began to feel self-conscious again.
She felt even more self-conscious when she thought about how Josh felt toward Xyla.
Although Annabeth had met Xyla many times, she still felt in awe of Xyla’s beauty.
Before Annabeth met Xyla, she didn’t know a woman could look this beautiful.
Annabeth thought that Josh must have felt the same way.
When she thought of this, she felt jealous.
