On a whim, Xyla Quest took a picture of the dishes on the table and uploaded it to Weibo with a paragraph of text. “The happiest thing is to have a hot meal waiting for you when you get home…”
“What are you doing? Let’s eat,” Stanley Batton said.
“Yeah, alright.” With that, Xyla took a spoonful of steamed sea bass and savored it.
The sea bass Stanley cooked was the best sea bass she had ever eaten. It was lightly flavored, tasty, and didn’t have a fishy taste to it at all.
“How does it taste?” Stanley asked while he peeled shrimps.
“Mmm.” Xyla immediately gave him the thumbs up.
Stanley affectionately ruffled her hair. “Well, eat some more…”
“Okay…” Xyla’s smile widened. “How are you feeling today? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No…” Stanley responded softly. He slowly put the peeled shrimp into her bowl.
Xyla naturally picked up the shrimp and ate it in small bites. “That’s good. Now, our company’s crisis is considered completely solved. Not only that but by taking advantage of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment’s downfall, our company has gone up another level,” she said as she chewed.
A tinge of approval appeared in Stanley’s eyes. “Yeah, I saw it on the list of hot topics.”
At the mention of this, Xyla smiled again. “Mr. Brown sabotaged himself.”
“Are you happy?” Stanley asked.
“Yeah,” Xyla said.
“As long as you’re happy…” Stanley said.
Xyla suddenly thought of something. “By the way… I was wondering if you were helping out behind the scenes this time?”
Stanley raised his brows a little. “Why do you ask?”
“It feels like those rich sponsors decided to change the artists they supported a little too fast. In fact, they didn’t even show Mr. Brown any respect. Logically, this shouldn’t happen,” Xyla explained.
At first, she, too, didn’t think carefully about it. But on the drive home, with some quiet time to herself, she thought about it carefully. She felt that this ordeal was resolved a little too smoothly.
Stanley smiled ever so faintly. “I just asked Zack Cassidy to put the word out… Whoever gives Mr. Brown face is not giving me face.”
Sure enough, Xyla had guessed it right.
