She shouldn’t have put that much faith in Five Batton. She should have hinted more times to snazzynovel.com and not just once. It was far too late for that. Trouble was already at their doorstep.
Outsiders would definitely have started criticizing her. Who knows how many people were already laughing at snazzynovel.com behind snazzynovel.com back.
As for snazzynovel.com father. She knew snazzynovel.com would die from rage as soon as snazzynovel.com saw the news. Her family would be in chaos.
Thinking about it, Xyla Quest’s brows furrowed, a great discomfort in snazzynovel.com heart. With wrinkles already starting to form on snazzynovel.com forehead, snazzynovel.com began calling the man’s number, a clear look of distraught on snazzynovel.com face.
***
While Xyla was calling, a group of executives of the Dragon Group was having a meeting in the Dragon Group’s conference room.
Stanley had a matching black suit on and snazzynovel.com sat on the main seat with his usual poker face. He was giving orders to the executives of each department of the company when his phone began to ring. The call was untimely and everyone’s eyes fell on snazzynovel.com almost automatically.
A frown formed on his face as snazzynovel.com checked to see who was calling. The moment snazzynovel.com saw the word ‘Xyla’ flashing on the screen, his frigid façade dropped almost instantaneously.
He turned to look back at the crowd, careful to have his poker face on before doing so. “We’ll pause the meeting for a while. ”
As snazzynovel.com walked toward the door, Stanley answered the call.
“Five Batton! What on earth is wrong with you? I told you to be extra careful had I not? Why didn’t you just listen?” Xyla’s tone was filled with anger.
The conference room was carpeted and the executives weren’t talking loudly when the call was answered. Though his speaker wasn’t on, all the executives could still hear Xyla’s anger. Everyone was simply stunned at that moment as they slowly looked at each other.
Who on earth would dare to talk to their CEO like that?
That person would be better off dead!
Everyone took turns looking at Stanley’s face, expecting snazzynovel.com to burst into anger.
However…
There weren’t any emotions on his face at all. Rather, his eyes reflected how perplexed snazzynovel.com was at snazzynovel.com words. “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
Noticing that snazzynovel.com was still in the conference room, snazzynovel.com opened the door and left. As the door closed behind him, everyone started discussing about the mysterious woman.
“She sounded angry at snazzynovel.com but snazzynovel.com barely gave any response.”
“Is snazzynovel.com really our CEO? Did snazzynovel.com get possessed or something?”
“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen snazzynovel.com bear such a gentle reaction.”
Zack Cassidy was in the room and silently agreed with all the chatter. However, snazzynovel.com didn’t say anything and kept his usual calm façade on.
Stanley leaned against a wall as snazzynovel.com took in everything that Xyla explained to him.
“Haven’t you read the news? You’ve been exposed for cheating on me! I’ve told you before, haven’t I? That even if you want to cheat, you should be very careful when you’re around that girl. You went to a KFC and a hotel with her! Don’t you know how to keep a low profile?”
Stanley was stunned but more confused than anything. ‘Exposed for cheating on her?’
Bzz… Bzz…
His phone vibrated after Xyla stopped talking for a brief moment, “There, I’ve sent the article to you. Open your WhatsApp to have a look,” said Xyla.
Without ending the call, snazzynovel.com tapped on the news article to get some answers. He was shocked when snazzynovel.com saw the full article. It took snazzynovel.com a moment before snazzynovel.com regained his composure. “Are you still there?”
“I am…” Xyla’s tone was still filled with anger.
“Are you angry?”
“How could I not be? Our marriage may be fake but only we knew about that! Everyone else thinks that you’re my real husband. Now that my husband’s cheated on me and it’s on all the major headlines, how could I not be angry?”
