The lovebirds shared the same straw and drank the same cup of bubble milk tea in full view of the crowd. All the employees at the entrance cringed at the intimacy between the two of them.
“I thought our President doesn’t like sweet drinks?”
“I thought so too. I’ve never seen our President drink bubble milk tea.”
“Oh gosh, I’m going to die… They’re too sweet. I feel so jealous of looking at them.”
Whisper and exclamation rounded the employees as they walked into the building.
With the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s hand and led her into his company.
“Are you sure you don’t want it anymore?” He peeked at the nearly finished bubble milk tea in his hand and asked Xyla.
“Yes,” Xyla said.
The two of them held hands all the way to the exclusive elevator used by Stanley.
He threw the empty cup into the trash can beside the elevator before entering the elevator with Xyla.
After the elevator door clicked shut behind them, Stanley abruptly stretched out his long arm and pulled Xyla into his embrace.
Xyla tilted her head up and found herself looking at his perfect jawline. “What are you doing? There’re surveillance cameras in the elevator. Why can’t you just be normal?”
“I’m being normal.” Stanley ruffled his chin against the top of her hair repeatedly. His voice was rich and silky like the sound of the cello.
Without warning, he gripped her legs and lifted her from the floor.
Xyla subconsciously wrapped her legs around his waist and swung her arms around his neck, pressing their chests together. “What are you trying to do again?”
“Well, f*ck…” He chuckled.
Xyla’s heart instantly went numb, her blood boiling in her veins. “Stanley Batton… Is it that fun to tease me?”
“Yes, it’s interesting.” Stanley continued to hug her tightly in his arms. His grin spread to his eyes as he studied her beautiful face lovingly.
“I don’t care.” Xyla struggled. “Put me down, please. What are we even doing here in the elevator…”
Following that statement, she caught a glimpse of the surveillance cameras around her.
This was so embarrassing!
Maybe everyone in the security room was watching them right now.
“I can do whatever I want in my place.”
As soon as Stanley finished his sentence, they had reached the floor where his office was located.
