The other employees were getting off from work at this hour too.
Therefore, the lobby was particularly crowded at the moment.
Everyone’s attention was on the lovebirds.
Envy and admiration were shimmering in their eyes as they looked at Xyla Quest.
After the two of them walked away from the lobby, all the employees began babbling and chatting among themselves.
“Have you guys heard about our president’s new secretary, Janet? She was fired by our president this afternoon because she tried to seduce him.”
“Are you serious? Who did you hear from?”
“Janet’s good friend. She’s telling everyone about it. Do you know what our president told Janet?”
“What?”
“Xyla Quest coincidentally entered the office when our president pushed Janet away. He immediately pulled Xyla into his arm and asked Janet, ‘I have a noble, white peony by my side every single day. Do you think I’ll be interested in weed by the road?’ Hahahahaha… I can’t stop laughing about that.”
“Damn, weed by the road! That’s pretty mean, but I don’t see anything wrong. The mistress really is noble and elegant. How can our president look at the others when he already has such a good-looking wife?”
“Our president is the best man on earth. He’s handsome, and he’s loyal. Here’s another day of being jealous of Xyla.”
Xyla and Stanley Batton totally did not hear their discussion.
The pair stalked out of the building and got into Stanley’s black Bentley Arnage together.
Stanley drove the car.
There were a few bodyguards following closely behind their car.
Stanley held the steering wheel with his left hand while he reached for Xyla’s hand with his other.
Xyla tacitly held his hand, her fingers curling around his.
“The Gilbert family’s old man is going to be sentenced to life imprisonment, right?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah. The President was furious after he saw the news. That old man can never run away from life imprisonment. All his family assets have been seized too.”
“What about Shawn Gilbert?”
“Same. Life imprisonment.”
“Cool. That evil duo deserves it. Life imprisonment is considered a light punishment for the two of them.” Xyla had no sympathy for them at all.
