Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 605

Xyla Quest pushed Tom Sullivan’s hands away and glared at him coldly. “Sorry, but I can’t help you,” she said.

In the past, Xyla would’ve felt sorry for Tom right away and gave in to his request.

Now, she didn’t feel anything at all.

Without looking at Tom again, she decisively walked into the building.

Tom immediately started running after her, but two security guards stopped him by the entrance.

“Xyla… Xyla…” Tom shouted without care for his reputation.

Xyla continued walking without turning back.

Disappointed, Tom took a step back. He had a thoroughly exhausted expression on his face.

What else could he do? He really was going mad!

Due to an excessive workload, Xyla could only wrap up her work at around seven o’clock in the evening.

After turning her computer off, Xyla realized how badly her shoulders and neck were aching.

Having stood up and moved around a little, she felt much better. Only then, she put on her body-hugging black coat and walked out the door.

Just as she did so, Xyla received a call from Stanley Batton.

“Darling, I’ll be home soon. I just got off work,” Xyla said after answering the call with a smile on her face.

“Okay. I’ll wait for you to have dinner together. Be careful on your way home,” Stanley said seriously.

As usual, his voice had a raspy quality to it that Xyla found pleasant to hear. The single sentence he spoke was enough to make her feel energized despite an exhausting day of work.

After hanging up, Xyla quickened her footsteps and took the lift downstairs.

By then, all the company’s staff had left. It sounded eerily quiet in the building.

The sound of her high heels tapping against the floor resonated clearly throughout the lobby.

After taking a few steps out of the lift, Xyla suddenly felt her vision turning completely dark.
