Since the inevitable would come sooner or later, Xyla Quest only hoped that it would quickly wrap up after it began.
Outside, it was still snowing.
There was a thick layer of snow on the courtyard.
As far as the eye could see, the land was blanketed in silver.
Xyla, who was most fond of snowy landscapes, didn’t have any interest in it right now.
After mechanically brushing her teeth, she washed her face and got into her morning skincare routine.
Xyla didn’t leave out anything, including her face mask and moisturizing products.
After applying a layer of foundation, she quickly applied a simple nude makeup.
Although the makeup was simple, it made her seem a lot classier…
She looked like an angel.
Beep, beep, beep—
Right then, her phone started ringing next to the basin.
Xyla immediately picked it up and glanced at it.
The word ‘Honey’ appeared on her phone.
When she saw this, she immediately picked up the call.
On the other side, Stanley Batton was having a serious meeting in a cold conference room with his company’s high-level executives…
The meeting was paused halfway through.
All the high-level executives were looking at him.
Stanley slowly walked out of the room with a gentle smile upon his face and his phone in his hand while everyone else watched on.
After that, he closed the door and leaned against the adjacent wall. “Are you up?” he asked gently with the phone against his ear.
Xyla looked at her gleaming self through the window in the bathroom. “Yeah…” She said.
“Okay… I’ve made you breakfast. It’s in the dining room. You can eat it after heating it in the microwave…” Stanley said.
“The roads are slippery with snow. Don’t drive. I’ve already arranged for a car and driver to pick you up,” Stanley said.
The words Xyla heard made her feel as if she had been graced with the presence of a warm ray of sunlight on a cold winter day.
Suddenly, she felt calm.
