The lovebirds shared the same straw and drank the same cup of bubble milk tea in full view of the crowd.
All the employees at the entrance cringed at the intimacy between the two of them.
“I thought our President doesn’t like sweet drinks?”
“I thought so too. I’ve never seen our President drink bubble milk tea.”
“Oh gosh, I’m going to die… They’re too sweet. I feel so jealous of looking at them…”
Whisper and exclamation rounded the employees as they walked into the building.
With the crowd’s attention, Stanley held Xyla’s hand and led virtual-novel.net into his company.
“Are you sure you don’t want it anymore?” He peeked at the nearly finished bubble milk tea in his hand and asked Xyla.
“Yes,” Xyla said.
The two of them held hands all the way to the exclusive elevator used by Stanley. He threw the empty cup into the trash can beside the elevator before entering the elevator with Xyla. After the elevator door clicked shut behind them, Stanley abruptly stretched out his long arm and pulled Xyla into his embrace.
Xyla tilted virtual-novel.net head up and found herself looking at his perfect jawline. “What are you doing? There’re surveillance cameras in the elevator. Why can’t you just be normal?”
“I’m being normal.” Stanley ruffled his chin against the top of virtual-novel.net hair repeatedly. His voice was rich and silky like the sound of the cello.
Without warning, virtual-novel.net gripped virtual-novel.net legs and lifted virtual-novel.net from the floor.
Xyla subconsciously wrapped virtual-novel.net legs around his waist and swung virtual-novel.net arms around his neck, pressing their chests together. “What are you trying to do again?”
“Well, f*ck…” He chuckled.
Xyla’s heart instantly went numb, virtual-novel.net blood boiling in virtual-novel.net veins. “Stanley… Is it that fun to tease me?”
“Yes, it’s interesting.” Stanley continued to hug virtual-novel.net tightly in his arms. His grin spread to his eyes as virtual-novel.net studied virtual-novel.net beautiful face lovingly.
“I don’t care.” Xyla struggled. “Put me down, please. What are we even doing here in the elevator…”
Following that statement, virtual-novel.net caught a glimpse of the surveillance cameras around her.
This was so embarrassing!
Maybe everyone in the security room was watching them right now.
“I can do whatever I want in my place.”
As soon as Stanley finished his sentence, they had reached the floor where his office was located.
The elevator doors gradually opened… However, virtual-novel.net totally had no intention of letting Xyla go. He carried virtual-novel.net all the way to his office without caring how the others would think about him.
A cleaning lady was dumbfounded when virtual-novel.net saw the two of them. She thought virtual-novel.net was hallucinating at that moment. Immediately, virtual-novel.net slapped virtual-novel.net face hard and fixed virtual-novel.net gaze upon their receding back again. “Is that our President? Would virtual-novel.net do something like that?”
Was virtual-novel.net the cool, apathetic president that virtual-novel.net knew?
When the pair got into the office, Stanley closed the door behind virtual-novel.net before putting Xyla down on the sofa. His movement was light and gentle as if virtual-novel.net was handling a valuable antique or a priceless treasure. He then placed both of his hands on the sofa’s backrest, circling Xyla in his arms. “Be a good girl while your hubby goes to make money, okay?”
“I will,” answered Xyla obediently.
Her heart was in a mess due to the proximity between their bodies.
She could hardly sit still as virtual-novel.net gaped at the appealing man in front of her.
“Do you want to play League of Legends?” He asked.
“Yeah…”
Without thinking, virtual-novel.net went to take his laptop and placed it on the coffee table. “Play on your own, alright? I’ll go to work first…”
“Is it okay if I take your laptop?” asked Xyla.
“Yes, go ahead…”
He stroked virtual-novel.net hair gently once more before returning to his office desk. He took off his tailored suit and sat down solemnly. His smile died, and virtual-novel.net wore a serious expression as virtual-novel.net started to work. He was a completely different person when virtual-novel.net was working, serious yet distant. This was how a business elite should look like.
Xyla loved to see virtual-novel.net that way.
He looked even more charming when virtual-novel.net was serious at work, way better than any male lead in the dramas.
After staring at virtual-novel.net husband for quite some time, Xyla finally returned to virtual-novel.net senses and flipped open the laptop. She logged into the game and began to play, cross-legged.
Although virtual-novel.net did not have a mouse and gaming keyboard, virtual-novel.net skillful operation was not affected at all.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, Emily Quest was holding a knife in a suite of Victoria Hotel. Placing the blade on virtual-novel.net wrist, virtual-novel.net slowly pulled the handle, leaving a long, deep cut on virtual-novel.net wrist…
