The company had signed on many talented trainees and artistes over the years. However, apart from Josh Batton, none came close to Josh's standards than Lukas Ronaldo.
“In that case, give him some proper guidance,” Stanley Batton said.
“I will. I want to show you his photo so you can see how good-looking that kid is,” Xyla Quest told him.
“I felt like my entire body was shaking when I first saw him. He’s incredibly handsome. I believe his fans will share my thoughts once he becomes popular in the future.
“In fact, they might feel even more intensely than I did,” she added.
“How good-looking can he possibly be? Look at you,” he wondered with a slight frown.
“He reminds me of Josh,” she answered.
“Does he look better than Josh?”
“I can’t say he’s better-looking. They’re both good-looking in their own way,” Xyla replied.
“How about compared to me?” he pressed further.
At that moment, Xyla sensed that he was jealous.
She couldn’t help but find it a little funny.
Withholding her laughter, she gazed at her husband with a somber expression. “Hey, do you have to be like this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why are you acting jealous when I only commented on his looks?” she asked.
“Don’t tell me other men are handsome,” he muttered sulkily.
She didn't know how to respond to that.
Was Stanley jealous?
“You’re too sensitive,” she sighed, rubbing her head against his stiff shoulder.
“Sensitive?”
In her honest opinion, even though she considered Lukas a handsome guy, her husband still won in the looks department in comparison.
His facial features and personality were still much better than the teenager.
He immediately relaxed and began to smile when he heard this. “Oh?”
He had a curious look in his eyes then.
At that moment, Xyla thought her husband seemed like a young man who had just entered into a new relationship.
She found his insecurity comical as she nodded, chuckling. “Yeah. Honestly, Lukas might be handsome, but you’re still more handsome than him.”
“Only a little more?” he teased.
Xyla coughed awkwardly, wearing an inquisitive expression. “Uhm, a lot more handsome, I guess?”
“Yeah, that’s more like it.” Stanley seemed very pleased with her reply.
