“Stanley Batton, don’t you think you’re being very childish?” Xyla Quest asked.
What was the point of the comparison?
He laughed, seeming more relaxed. “No.”
He spoke so confidently, not flustered in the slightest.
Xyla was speechless suddenly and could only shake her head helplessly in silence.

After dinner, the couple left their twins with Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and the nannies as they went upstairs together.
Stanley went into the study to continue working as Xyla sat on her bed to go through some videos on her phone that Georgie Clementine previously sent her of Lukas Ronaldo dancing and singing.
She also went through his’ personal information in detail and admitted that he had irrefutable talents in both forms of entertainment.
After watching everything, Xyla felt even more impressed with Lukas. She instantly recognized him as being better than ninety-nine percent of other trainees in the company.
She decided to call Georgie on WeChat.
“Lukas seems pretty good,” she said enthusiastically as soon as her friend picked up.
“Yeah. Did you see him today?” Georgie chuckled.
“Yeah, I did. He has a lot of potential,” she said.
“Of course.”
“Where did you find him?” she wondered.
“I was out shopping with Henry, and I noticed him when we walked past each other,” Georgie said.
Xyla seemed surprised. “That’s quite a coincidence.”
“Okay.”
“I’m playing Heroes Assemble, so I’ve got to go," Georgie told her. "Henry is bugging me to fight bosses and challenge dungeons with him.”
Xyla shrugged when she heard this. “Okay, go ahead. I’ll spend some time going through the trainee profiles on my own.”
After hanging up, she went through the various information Georgie had sent her on the other trainees. They all had decent profiles, but none were more appealing than Lukas.
She put her phone down after a while, then picked up her laptop to log into League of Legends.
Going online, she found Alex and the others in the middle of a game. Hesitant to disturb them, she started match-making on her own.
The first game went very well. It only took twelve minutes to obtain victory.
Just as she was about to play another game, she saw several unread messages on her notification bar.
