Six bodyguards in black suits followed closely behind her.
“Xyla, come to my office. I have something to discuss with you.”
“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Xyla Quest took the elevator and headed to the chairman’s office at once.
She knocked on the door politely when she arrived at her father’s office. After receiving a response from Jeremy Quest, she pushed open the door and entered the office.
Jeremy was currently sitting in front of the high-grade rosewood desk, making some tea with his set of professional teaware tools.
There were different kinds of bottles and jars on the desk. All of which looked classy and exquisite.
Noticing Xyla’s presence, a benevolent smile blossomed on Jeremy’s face instantaneously. “Xyla, come over here…”
As he spoke, he beckoned Xyla to his desk.
Xyla immediately walked up to him and asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Dad?”
“There’s a grand antique auction in Belrynna this evening. I’m going to have a look at the antique over there. Do you want to come with me?”
“Sure,” Xyla agreed without even thinking about it.
“It starts at seven o’clock. I think we’ll be able to make it if we leave on the dot at five o’clock,” added Jeremy.
Xyla nodded right away.
“By the way, Xyla… I saw the trending topics about you on Weibo in the past two days… You’re brilliant.” Jeremy continued staring at his daughter, a glint of admiration in his eyes.
“Thanks, Dad.”
“Paint something for Daddy when you’re free, okay? I’ll put it right here in my office.”
“No problem.”
