The lovebirds shared the same straw and drank the same cup of bubble milk tea in full view of the crowd.
All the employees at the entrance cringed at the intimacy between the two of them.
“I thought our President doesn’t like sweet drinks?”
“I thought so too. I’ve never seen our President drink bubble milk tea.”
“Oh gosh, I’m going to die… They’re too sweet. I feel so jealous of looking at them…”
Whisper and exclamation rounded the employees as they walked into the building.
With the crowd’s attention, Stanley held Xyla’s hand and led snazzynovel.com into his company.
“Are you sure you don’t want it anymore?” He peeked at the nearly finished bubble milk tea in his hand and asked Xyla.
“Yes,” Xyla said.
The two of them held hands all the way to the exclusive elevator used by Stanley. He threw the empty cup into the trash can beside the elevator before entering the elevator with Xyla. After the elevator door clicked shut behind them, Stanley abruptly stretched out his long arm and pulled Xyla into his embrace.
Xyla tilted snazzynovel.com head up and found herself looking at his perfect jawline. “What are you doing? There’re surveillance cameras in the elevator. Why can’t you just be normal?”
“I’m being normal.” Stanley ruffled his chin against the top of snazzynovel.com hair repeatedly. His voice was rich and silky like the sound of the cello.
Without warning, snazzynovel.com gripped snazzynovel.com legs and lifted snazzynovel.com from the floor.
Xyla subconsciously wrapped snazzynovel.com legs around his waist and swung snazzynovel.com arms around his neck, pressing their chests together. “What are you trying to do again?”
“Well, f*ck…” He chuckled.
Xyla’s heart instantly went numb, snazzynovel.com blood boiling in snazzynovel.com veins. “Stanley… Is it that fun to tease me?”
“Yes, it’s interesting.” Stanley continued to hug snazzynovel.com tightly in his arms. His grin spread to his eyes as snazzynovel.com studied snazzynovel.com beautiful face lovingly.
“I don’t care.” Xyla struggled. “Put me down, please. What are we even doing here in the elevator…”
Following that statement, snazzynovel.com caught a glimpse of the surveillance cameras around her.
This was so embarrassing!
Maybe everyone in the security room was watching them right now.
“I can do whatever I want in my place.”
As soon as Stanley finished his sentence, they had reached the floor where his office was located.
The elevator doors gradually opened… However, snazzynovel.com totally had no intention of letting Xyla go. He carried snazzynovel.com all the way to his office without caring how the others would think about him.
A cleaning lady was dumbfounded when snazzynovel.com saw the two of them. She thought snazzynovel.com was hallucinating at that moment. Immediately, snazzynovel.com slapped snazzynovel.com face hard and fixed snazzynovel.com gaze upon their receding back again. “Is that our President? Would snazzynovel.com do something like that?”
Was snazzynovel.com the cool, apathetic president that snazzynovel.com knew?
When the pair got into the office, Stanley closed the door behind snazzynovel.com before putting Xyla down on the sofa. His movement was light and gentle as if snazzynovel.com was handling a valuable antique or a priceless treasure. He then placed both of his hands on the sofa’s backrest, circling Xyla in his arms. “Be a good girl while your hubby goes to make money, okay?”
“I will,” answered Xyla obediently.
Her heart was in a mess due to the proximity between their bodies.
She could hardly sit still as snazzynovel.com gaped at the appealing man in front of her.
“Do you want to play League of Legends?” He asked.
“Yeah…”
Without thinking, snazzynovel.com went to take his laptop and placed it on the coffee table. “Play on your own, alright? I’ll go to work first…”
“Is it okay if I take your laptop?” asked Xyla.
“Yes, go ahead…”
He stroked snazzynovel.com hair gently once more before returning to his office desk. He took off his tailored suit and sat down solemnly. His smile died, and snazzynovel.com wore a serious expression as snazzynovel.com started to work. He was a completely different person when snazzynovel.com was working, serious yet distant. This was how a business elite should look like.
Xyla loved to see snazzynovel.com that way.
He looked even more charming when snazzynovel.com was serious at work, way better than any male lead in the dramas.
After staring at snazzynovel.com husband for quite some time, Xyla finally returned to snazzynovel.com senses and flipped open the laptop. She logged into the game and began to play, cross-legged.
Although snazzynovel.com did not have a mouse and gaming keyboard, snazzynovel.com skillful operation was not affected at all.
