Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 429

“I will, Fifth Master.” Zack Cassidy gave Stanley Batton a respectful nod before turning around to leave his office.

After the door clicked shut behind him, the office returned to its original, peaceful state.

Stanley leaned back against his office chair, his hands behind his head and his legs comfortably crossed. All that was on his mind were the final two possibilities that Zack had proposed earlier.

When Georgie Clementine returned to the ward with the contract in hand, Noah Smith signed the contract without even glancing at it.

Shortly after, he bid a brief farewell before leaving with his copy of the contract. Xyla and Georgie were alone in the ward again.

The first thing Georgie did was slide the contract into a drawer before closing it. Her next move was to return to Xyla’s side, where she began praising Noah. “Noah seems like a straightforward and energetic man. He was very friendly and approachable, nothing like the nobleman I had initially imagined him to be like.”

Hearing this, Xyla thought about Georgie’s praises for a moment before feeling pleased about his personality too. “Yeah, his parents have done a very good job educating him.”

“From his demeanor alone, I knew he was well brought up. I like him a lot.” Georgie grinned before asking, “It’s almost lunchtime. Anything you want to eat Xyla? I’ll order for you.”

Xyla shook her head in response. She couldn’t think of anything she wanted to eat at the moment.

The truth was, there was still a slight bitter feeling that remained stuck in her heart from the conversation about Stanley with Georgie earlier.

“Well, even if you don’t have much of an appetite you still have to eat something. There must be something you want to eat.” Georgie continued to insist.

However, Xyla shook her head once more, refusing Georgie’s attempt again.

Georgie frowned. Seeing that the girl wasn’t going to comply, she opened a food delivery app on her phone. She would take the liberty to order a nutritious meal for Xyla.

After the order was confirmed, she looked at Xyla and sighed. “Look, you can’t just skip lunch just because you don’t feel like eating, alright? I’ve ordered some food for you and I understand that you’re in a bad mood right now, but you shouldn’t starve yourself just because of that.”

Xyla’s response was to simply close her eyes slowly in silence.

Georgie remained silent as well. She took her phone out and started working on her business emails.

About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
