Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1086

In an instant, Xyla Quest felt as if she had exhausted a current of electricity in the deepest part of her heart.

Her entire heart felt numb.

***

The next morning, when Xyla opened her eyes, Stanley Batton was no longer by her side.

She subconsciously reached out and touched her side, only to find that it was cold.

That meant he had been up for a long time.

After getting out of bed with much difficulty, she put on simple makeup and went to Quest Group for the company’s regular group meeting.

After the group meeting, she held a separate meeting for the sales department and the design department that she managed.

During this period when her father was not around in the company, her scope of work had expanded a lot.

She heard that her father had been very relaxed lately. He had been traveling a lot to relax his mind.

In their WeChat conversation, there were either screenshots of daily work-related things or pictures from her father while he was abroad. There were also all sorts of compliments from him.

While her father became more relaxed, it was the opposite case for Xyla. All the responsibilities in the group fell upon her alone.

However, Xyla didn’t think this was a big deal. That’s because this was how she expected her life to be in the future.

In fact, in the future, she might get even busier than she was now.

It was because the career blueprint she had outlined in her mind was far more complex than what she saw now.

She wanted to expand the business more, which meant that she would have to take on even more pressure.

However, Xyla felt that having pressure was a good thing.

With pressure, it meant she was constantly improving. To wear a crown, one must be able to bear its weight.

This was a fair world. One could only reap more fruitful results than others if one put in more effort than others.

Life only lasted a few decades. If she didn’t work hard now, when would she do it?

One meeting after another, the entire morning passed just like that.

When Xyla returned to her office, she felt as if her throat was on fire. Her entire body ached even more.
