Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 525

Stanley Batton waved at Xyla Quest before tapping on his thigh as if nobody else was around. “Come over…” He said.

The high-level executives were all dumbfounded by the sight of a real-life, domineering CEO being romantic with his wife.

“Come with me, everyone,” Zack Cassidy said while he looked at them.

With that, Zack walked out of the office with the group of high-level executives following behind him in a neat, single file.

Meanwhile, Xyla obediently stood up and walked up to Stanley before sitting down on his lap.

Everyone who walked out of the office was feeling unusually relaxed.

“I feel great during the meeting today… This is the first time I’ve seen our CEO being kind. It’s also the first time I’ve not felt nervous in a meeting with him.”

“I was shocked when I saw that beautiful woman as I entered the office. When did Master Batton, who had always treated work seriously, start allowing an outsider in on his meetings?”

“Looks like the rumors from before were true. Xyla’s alleged husband, Stanley Batton, really is our CEO.”

“I didn’t believe it back then because the pictures of him were always taken from the side, and they seemed to have been taken from afar. Most importantly, the rumors on the internet claimed Xyla’s husband was a medical practitioner. I’ve also never heard anything about our CEO getting married…”

“Did you notice the details? Our CEO actually allowed his wife to play games with his personal laptop! Xyla Quest really does have a special place in his heart.”

After hearing what everyone said, Zack coughed gently and turned around to look at them. “The Batton family has always prioritized their family members’ privacy. The same rule applies. Whatever you’ve found out, you must keep it within the organization. You shall not leak it to outsiders, and you definitely aren’t allowed to take photos. I hope all of you will tell your employees to do the same once you return,” Zack said.

“That’s for sure. Don’t worry, Mr. Cassidy,” One of the high-level executives said.

Each of them returned to their own departments and quickly passed on the message. They forbade their subordinates from sharing news about Stanley and Xyla to outsiders.

As soon as the order was announced, there was a commotion in each of the departments. Suddenly, the news between Stanley and Xyla became the most popular topic of discussion among employees in the entire office.

Of course, all of them only dared to discuss it within the organization. None of them had the courage to leak the news to outsiders.

That was because there was a clause in their employee contract that forbade them from leaking any information or gossip related to the Batton family. If they were to do so, there was a shocking amount of fine they needed to pay.
