Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1610

After taking another deep breath, Annabeth Cates replied to the message. “No, I only came out for some fresh air. I’ll be back soon…”

At the same time, Josh Batton was being watched by over ten thousand people as he listened to the event host’s introduction of Chanel’s products. He did all this while simultaneously replying to Annabeth’s message…

“Alright, stay safe… I’ll get a security guard to pick you up…” Josh said.

With that, he turned to look at a security guard the shopping mall management had hired for him. “Please pick up my assistant outside…” Josh said softly.

The security guard nodded respectfully before quickly leaving.

Although Josh spent very little time replying to Annabeth, the fans around him noticed everything he was doing.

They began whispering among themselves.

“I feel that Josh’s gaze was very gentle when he looked at his phone earlier. Is he replying to someone’s text?”

“Josh would never play with his phone during events like this. So it must be someone very important, right?”

“If he’s really replying to messages, I’d be awfully jealous… Sob-sob… I really wish Josh would reply to my WeChat messages too. But, unfortunately, I don’t even have him on my friend’s list…”

Although Josh heard his fans whispering about him, he didn’t show any signs of noticing it.

Josh quickly shifted his gaze to the event host, ensuring his professionalism was on full display.

After Annabeth walked out of the pharmacy, she gently rubbed her lower abdomen with many thoughts on her mind. She then returned to the shopping mall’s entrance, where it was extremely crowded.

The moment she walked across the road, the security guard Josh had sent noticed her.

The man immediately walked up to her. “Mr. Batton sent me to escort you inside… Let’s go…” he said respectfully.

Annabeth felt a sense of warmth in her heart again. She subconsciously caressed her lower abdomen. “Alright… Thank you.”

The security guard smiled. “You’re welcome, Miss. I feel that Mr. Batton treats you well… Despite how busy he was earlier, he still arranged for someone to escort you inside…”

Annabeth smiled in return. “He’s good to his subordinates.”
