Whenever Xyla Quest was in a bad mood, Stanley Batton would buy her purses.
“I’d buy you a hundred as long as you’re happy,” he said.
“But I don’t want purses anymore," she told him. "I already have all the newest designs.”
“In that case, I’ll buy you clothes,” he countered.
Xyla considered briefly before nodding.
It was time to buy some new clothes as spring was around the corner.
She hadn’t bought clothes for spring.
The two of them immediately came to a consensus, so he brought her to Goldfield Plaza.
News that the president and his wife were on the premises took everyone by surprise.
All the managers nervously approached them, following them from behind as the couple walked around for a while, only leaving them alone when Stanley told them to.
He purchased lots of clothes for Xyla as she practically selected everything she saw without even trying them on.
She did the same thing with brands of different qualities.
Within a short time, up to a hundred bodyguards behind them were already carrying multiple bags in their hands.
However, Xyla wasn’t done yet and continued shopping.
All the customers in the mall were envious of this sight.
Which woman wouldn’t want to live like Xyla?
People chattered everywhere Xyla and Stanley went.
“She’s so lucky. We’re all women, but why is her life so different from ours?”
“Didn't she just finish her postpartum recovery? My goodness. Rich people sure are different. She doesn’t even look like she’s delivered at all.”
“Exactly! She still looks like a teenager. But Xyla hadn’t gained much weight throughout her pregnancy. I guess she must have kept to a strict diet.”
She nodded enthusiastically.
***
Approximately half an hour later, Stanley held Xyla’s hand and walked into Sky Garden on the top floor of Unconscious Bar.
By then, Henry, Gary Lakes, Georgie Clementine, and Josh Batton were all there, playing poker.
A warm light lit up the room, making it seem as bright as day as the four of them sat around a spotless table.
Henry wore a leisurely and casual outfit in a white, short-sleeved shirt with black pants.
Georgie wore a black Chanel dress, appearing professional and stunningly beautiful.
Gary looked gentlemanly in a black shirt and black pants, while Josh sported a white shirt and a pair of long, gray pants. He seemed noble yet refreshing.
Everyone appeared very elegant.
Nobody said much. Only the sound of poker cards being dealt could be heard.
