The two security guards immediately nodded respectfully at Xyla Quest and stopped what they were doing before stepping aside.
Xyla walked slowly over to Mary. Her hands were crossed naturally in front of her chest. Although Xyla seemed like a gentle person, she had a dominating presence.
“Why aren’t you enjoying the cyberbullying at home? Why are you here causing a scene at my company?” she asked.
Since Xyla already disliked Mary, she became even more annoyed when she saw how Mary was still behaving arrogantly. Xyla’s mood was completely ruined. Apart from Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan, nobody else made her feel as disgusted as Mary.
Mary quickly took a step forward and shoved her hands forcefully against Xyla. “Xyla Quest! Why did you do all this?!”
“I’m just returning the favor. Why else?” replied Xyla, laughing coldly. The people around her immediately felt chills down their spines.
“Do you know what I’m going through because of you? Even if I hurt you, why did you have to go to such an extent to hurt me?” asked Mary.
Seeing Mary behave this way reminded Xyla of Emily.
People like her made mistakes in the first place, and did not feel bad for what they did. However, when other people did the same things to them, they acted as if they were completely innocent victims. The way Mary was questioning Xyla now was exactly something Emily would do.
It was indeed true that birds of a feather flock together.
Like Emily, Mary had a weird outlook on life. It explained why she and Emily could become such good friends. How could somebody think it was wrong for others to fight back in the same way that they offended others to begin with?
Xyla truly wondered if Mary and Emily were brainwashed by an evil cult of sorts.
