Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 744

“There’s some trouble with the branch office in Country Y. I have to go there.” Stanley Batton’s voice was steady, and his eyes only expressed calmness.

“What happened?” Xyla Quest’s chest was heavy.

“One of the phone models exploded.”

Upon hearing that, Xyla shuddered instantaneously. “What?”

If the accident went viral, it would be the end of the brand and the company.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go there to find out the cause and solve the matter. The accident is suppressed so far. Nobody will make a big deal about it,” Stanley explained.

“Hurry up then. I’ll help you to pack your luggage.” Following that statement, Xyla moved her weak body to the edge of the bed.

Nonetheless, as soon as she got up, the man lunged forward and pulled her back to the bed again. He wrapped his long arms around her and gently kissed her forehead. “Forget it. Look at yourself. Get some rest, okay? I’ll do it myself.”

“Hey, I can do it…” Xyla was not convinced.

“I won’t let you do it anyway,” he spoke softly.

Xyla’s heart began to race the moment she heard that.

“I might be staying there for a week, or even half a month. Be a good girl when I’m not around, alright? Give me a call if you face any problem,” Stanley reminded her patiently.

“Okay…”

After that, he got out of bed and went to pack his luggage.

***

Stanley’s private plane was at the airport.

After the pair had finished their breakfast, Xyla accompanied Stanley to the airport under numerous bodyguards’ watchful eyes.

The vast group of people had garnered a lot of attention at the airport.

Fortunately, Stanley did not have to check-in as he was taking a private plane. Once he reached the airport, he led Xyla to the exclusive gate and found his plane in no time.

There were several beautiful stewardesses standing at the entrance of the plane, respectfully waiting for his arrival.

Xyla paused and looked at Stanley. “Safe trip, hubby. Let me know when you get there.”

“I will.” The man fixed his doting gaze upon her face. Pure tenderness was all that was in his eyes right now.
