Xyla Quest was immensely satisfied as she read through these comments.
She felt that the air she breathed in had a trace of sweet smell flowing along with it.
She put down her phone and turned to face the man sitting beside her. “Stan, thanks for everything.”
“Told you, it’s nothing.” Stanley Batton said, “I’m going to clean up the room for Georgie. You guys can go to your room and have a rest first.”
“Sure.” She nodded obediently.
He helped her up carefully and the three of them went upstairs together.
As they reached the second floor, Stanley headed to clean up the guest room whereas Xyla led Georgie Clementine to her master bedroom.
Georgie pulled Xyla to her fluffy lavender bed as soon as both of them entered the room.
Xyla covered their bodies with the blanket and held Georgie’s hand. “Stan totally changed my impression of the people in the gang, you know. Based on my observation over the past two days, I don’t think he looks like a gangster at all.” She began.
“The most important thing is that he’s meticulous and he’s completely different from the other gangsters. No wonder he can stay around the higher-ups, he’s really extraordinary.” Georgie could not stop complimenting Stanley.
“Yeah, I agree. He’s special, whether it’s his image, his temperament or his behaviors, he’s totally different from a gangster. Sometimes I think that someone like him should be a big boss or a big star.”
Talking about Stanley, Xyla could not stop praising him too, her eyes seemed to be gentler and the corner of her lips curled up unconsciously.
Georgie noticed her facial expression and straightened Xyla’s body immediately. She held Xyla’s face with her palms and questioned her seriously. “Are you in love with him?”
Xyla was bewildered at her question. She shook her head. “No.”
However, Georgie frowned and seized her up and down thrice, she looked into her eyes and advised her solemnly. “You and him are from two different worlds. No matter how good he acts in front of us, we must remember that he’s in the gang.”
“He might be very noble on the surface but he’s just like any ordinary gangster behind our back, with blood in his hands, and he's probably doing those dirty deals out there.”
