Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 56

Frowning slightly, he slowly took out his phone. After reading the contents of the WeChat message, his forehead gradually relaxed. The icy look on his face seemed to have warmed up as well.

Under the scrutiny of everyone else, he replied to the WeChat message with an ‘Okay’.

Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief. Ever since Stanley entered the company, he had set a rule that the usage of cellphones was forbidden during meetings. This rule applied to him as well. Whenever his phone rang, he would either hang up immediately or ignore it.

So, what happened to him today?

On the other side, Xyla was thrilled when she got his reply so she simply sent him a voice message, “Shall we meet at Grandview Western Restaurant tonight at seven?” Her voice was gentle and melodious as always.

Stanley quietly put the phone to his ear and listened intently, then replied with another ‘Okay’.

Xyla sent another voice message, “I’ll send you a WeChat message once I’ve reserved a room.”

‘Okay,’ he replied again, before nonchalantly putting the phone back into the inner pocket of his shirt.

Glaring at the crowd, he said only what was necessary, “Continue.”

The others immediately regained their senses and the meeting continued. Only, everyone could not help but feel curious about who had sent Stanley a WeChat message. That person actually made him allow such an exception.

At seven in the evening, Xyla punctually arrived at Grandview Western Restaurant’s VIP room.

She had on light makeup, and her gently curled hair fell naturally on her shoulders, making her face look daintier. Dressed in a white turtleneck sweater and long white chiffon skirt, she appeared even more gentle and dignified.
