“Naturally, we’ll wait. I don’t think it was necessarily Mary Sullivan who made them say those things. Perhaps, not all of them were bribed by Mary. Some of them might have not liked me from the start. This was merely a good opportunity for them to jump on the bandwagon,” Xyla Quest said before smiling bitterly.
“That makes sense. To be honest, some people can hate others for no reason in a lot of cases. Since you are living a seemingly good life, and their lives suck, they have turned you into a target for their negativity. Humans really are the worst. Although some people say demons are terrifying, I think a human’s heart is the most terrifying thing,” Georgie said.
“Yeah. A human’s heart is indeed complicated, Georgie. Anyway, have you had breakfast?” Xyla turned to look at Georgie.
“No, I haven’t. Why don’t you have breakfast with me? It’ll make you feel better,” Georgie said as she shook her head.
Xyla nodded before driving away.
Due to the commotion earlier, Xyla was not in a particularly good mood right now.
She felt that she needed to blow off some steam.
Even if Xyla returned to the office right away, she would not be able to calm herself down to work. Therefore, she decided to go somewhere to get her mind off of things.
“Did you come over to look for me on purpose this morning? Or did you happen to pass by and saw what happened?” Xyla asked.
“I didn’t happen to pass by. I wanted to meet you to show you some documents. D*mn it, I left those documents in my car. After what happened with those people back there, I completely forgot about work,” Georgie said as she knocked herself on the head.
“It’s fine. You can hand it over to me after we are done buying stuff later,” Xyla said as she shrugged nonchalantly.
