Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 733

The strong, tingling sensation caused Xyla Quest to take a deep breath.

Subconsciously, she glanced over at her expensive diamond watch by the bedhead and noticed it was already close to noon.

She immediately glared at Stanley angrily. "Stanley, I woke up late because of you again..."

"Hmm..."

"You... You shouldn't do this next time," Xyla added.

"Hmm. I'll keep that in mind," Stanley said.

Xyla rolled her eyes at Stanley.

'Keep that in mind? Doesn't he say this every time? When has he ever actually kept that in mind?' Xyla thought.

"Beep, beep, beep..." Right then, Stanley's phone started ringing.

Xyla ignored him. After adjusting her white silk pajamas, she went right into the bathroom.

Once Xyla was out of sight, Stanley reached for his phone and looked at the screen.

When he saw that the call was from Henry Armstrong, he picked up. He then slowly sat up and leaned lazily against the bedhead. "Zack Cassidy told me you didn't come into the office today," Henry said. His voice was accompanied by the sound of cars honking.

"I suddenly thought of a saying. It goes like this, 'Despite the sun being high up in the sky, a man refuses to wake up..." Henry added. "Get to the point," Stanley said blandly.

"It's nothing. I'm in front of your office. I was just about to go inside to ask you out for lunch. But you're actually not here... No... I was just surprised that you would reveal your identity on the internet for Xyla last night..." Henry said.

"If there's nothing important, I'm hanging up..." Stanley said.

Before Henry could say anything, Stanley hung up the phone.

He didn't get out of bed right away.

Instead, he picked up a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, and lit it up with his head lowered. He then began taking puffs from it.

His actions made him look very cool.

Once Xyla was done brushing her teeth, she exhaustedly returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table to put makeup on. The spotless mirror showed her reflection right then.

She accidentally wet the hair around her temples when she was washing her face earlier.

Coincidentally, Stanley had finished smoking his cigarette. After glancing over at Xyla, he stubbed out the cigarette and entered the bathroom. Due to the lack of time, Xyla put on very light makeup, and she didn't even put on lipstick. All she used instead was a layer of lip moisturizer. Her lips were naturally pinkish.

With the glossy lip balm, her lips looked almost like succulent plums.

After making sure everything seemed alright, Xyla quickly chose an outfit she usually wore to work. She put on a light blue suit, a white shirt, and a pair of beige heels. When she walked out of the closet, she looked like a completely different person.

Although she was wearing clothes that she randomly selected, she still seemed unusually noble.

Xyla quickly went downstairs for breakfast. After that, she got into her red Maserati and drove to Quest Group's office while several security cars accompanied it.

When her car got close to the office, Xyla could see a bunch of reporters gathered in front of the main entrance from afar.

Even without thinking about it, she knew these reporters were here because of her and Stanley.

Xyla still had a lot of work to get done. Later on, she also had to get ready for a tournament.

To be honest, she really didn't have much time.

Hence, she circled to the back entrance before driving her car into the garage.

After that, she took a lift from the garage and arrived at her office.

"Beep, beep, beep..." Just as she entered the office, her phone started ringing. When she saw the caller's name on the screen, she couldn't help but smile.
