Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 96

Stanley Batton was already seated inside.

Dressed in a black oversized shirt and matching black leisure pants, there was a hint of laziness to his calm and composed appearance.

His usual hairstyle of segmenting his hair into two disproportionate sections was changed to a loosely brushed-back style today. It made him look very cool and pleasant to the eyes.

Right then, he had his head lowered as he flipped through the black leather menu with his long and elegant fingers. He was moving neither hastily nor too slowly, which perfectly embodied elegance and nobility.

The chandelier above his head projected a bright light over his fair skin, which now seemed aglow.

From afar, Xyla Quest could feel how unapproachable that person was.

If she had not known his identity, she would have thought he was from an aristocratic family.

After brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear, Xyla quickly walked over to the seat across him and sat down.

They were sitting on two opposite ends of the long dining table.

Even from a great distance, Xyla could feel the dominant aura from his body.

“You’re here,” Stanley said before slowly closing the menu and shifting his cold gaze to her face.

“Yeah. Let’s order. We can chat while we eat.” Xyla began waving at the waiter next to her.

After the orders were made, the waiter left.

Xyla rested her hands on the table with her fingers interlaced as she looked at Stanley.

“Did your day go well?” She asked.

“Yeah,” Stanley drawled as he looked at her quietly and calmly.

“Today, I am going to teach you something relatively basic. It’s called ‘look-smell-ask-cut’,” Xyla said.

“Looking refers to observing one’s facial expression. Hearing means listening to one’s breath. Asking refers to questions about the symptoms. Lastly, cutting means to check the pulse,” Xyla explained.

“I’ll go into details after we eat. We are one week away from Emily Quest’s wedding. You must pay full attention. I am counting on you,” Xyla said softly.
