Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2201

Stanley Batton hadn't turned off his microphone, so participants on the conference call could see and hear him clearly.

Hence, they were all charmed by the man as they began exchanging knowing looks and smiles on camera.

Beside him, Xyla Quest shook her head. “It’s fine, you can continue. I’ll keep you company.”

“Okay,” he uttered before shifting his attention back to the conference call.

Suddenly, his facial expression turned cold again, a complete one-eighty from when he looked at Xyla earlier.

Everyone was already used to how he possessed double standards when it came to his wife, so they all merely looked at each other and smiled as the meeting continued.

However, the top executives were all privately envious of his wife, wishing he would speak to them as he spoke to her.

If that happened, they wouldn’t have to feel so nervous when they saw him.

Even if it was only a conference call, they had to be attentive and not make a single mistake in their presentations.

Approximately half an hour later, Stanley called for the meeting to end.

Once everything was over, he checked in on her again. “Do you want supper? I’ll order something or go out to buy something for you. Perhaps even cook for you?”

She was already feeling sleepy by then, so she shook her head. “Thanks, but I don’t want to eat. I want to sleep.”

“Okay, let’s sleep together,” he said, shooting her an ambiguous smile.

Xyla knew exactly what his smile meant, feeling her cheeks reddening instantly.

Soon, he turned the lights off, plunging them into darkness.
