After the awkward encounter earlier, Freda would be sure to knock before entering Xyla Quest's office next time.
So, she allowed Stanley Batton to do what he wanted and indulged him for now.
She rested her head against his shoulder and relaxed. “Which game did you play today?”
“Honor of Kings,” he answered.
“Did you win?”
“Yeah, I was great in every match,” he replied smugly.
“Awesome.”
Talking about games made Xyla want to play, too, but the rational part of her mind was telling her to prioritize work first.
She still had a lot of work to deal with, and once she started playing, she would lose track of time.
She would have to start working in earnest after lunch.
“My teammates were great, too, so it wasn't so bad,” he said.
He then gazed at her. “Team XS has been doing well lately.”
Team XS had been winning every match since the spring tournament and maintained their number one spot in the league.
They didn’t even lose in minor battles.
It seemed very likely they would become the champion of the upcoming spring tournament.
“Yeah, they are excellent," Xyla agreed enthusiastically. "These kids are brave in the game, and they all work very hard.”
She was increasingly impressed and satisfied with Team XS’s performance. No other team in the world could compare to them now.
