Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 702

Xyla Quest soon lost herself as his fingers curled around hers. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her cheeks were hot.

It was the last bit of rationality in her mind that made her shrink away from his grasp. She pushed him away with all her strength, panting, “Stanley Batton, if you try to touch me again, I’m not going to talk to you for the next three days. No, five days! No, six days!”

“I won’t do it anymore, honey.” Stanley Batton comforted her with a good-natured look, though the mischief in his gaze had given him away.

Xyla immediately fled from the room, running away from him as fast as she could.

When Xyla arrived at Team QPG’s base, she found that Alex was there too.

Professional gamers like them had, more or less, crossed paths with one another during the tournaments. Moreover, Alex and her team members had a meal together before. Xyla could see that they were all getting along well.

Alex was currently sitting on the couch, happily chatting with the boys.

As usual, he was wearing his typical silver-rimmed round glasses, with an oversized jersey and a pair of blue jeans.

The picture of him sitting together with the group of young men from Team QPG was extraordinarily beautiful.

Team QPG itself was a team made out of stunning gamers. Alex’s presence really was the icing on the cake.

As Xyla glanced at them, she could not help but exclaim over her team’s charm.

“Have you guys eaten yet?” Xyla asked smilingly as she walked up to them.

“Yeah. We’ve just finished lunch. We’re all waiting for you to start training.” Michael Gabriel grinned at Xyla.

“What are you doing here, Alex? Aren’t you supposed to be training with your teammates now? Don’t tell me you’re here to spy on us,” teased Xyla before sitting down on the single-seater sofa next to the boys in delight.

The base livened up as soon as their beautiful boss arrived.

“You’re right. I’m here to spy on you so I can figure out how to defeat Team QPG in finals.” Alex joked along too.

“That’s great. Go ahead.” Xyla had a good rapport with him.

Alex’s smile broadened. “Don’t worry. I’ll never do stuff like that. Putting aside the fact that I’m joining you all for the Summer Season, I’m a professional gamer, and I have my integrity.”

“I’m just kidding.”
