Josh Batton managed a faint smile. “Let’s continue with the interview…”
On the other side, Xyla Quest was quietly reading the news using Stanley Batton’s phone after ending her call with Josh.
Stanley reached out to her. Obediently, Xyla freed her right hand and held his, their fingers intertwined tightly.
Very soon, Stanley’s car had arrived at the main entrance of the Unconscious Bar.
The bar was very lively at this hour. Numerous people were walking in and out of the bar, bustling the night with noises and excitement.
The luxury cars in front of the bar were as spectacular as those in a car show.
After the two of them got out of the car, they went into the bar together hand-in-hand.
The bar was super crowded inside. Music was blasting through the speakers, and fancy lights were flashing in all directions.
The music played over the dance floor as if it had fused the bodies, hearts pounding to the crazy beats like they belonged to the music. Everyone in the bar was hyped up.
No matter what was going on outside, people here were all dazed and flooded with joy. The bar seemed to have the power to make people forget about all their worries.
“Let’s go. They’re on the top floor. A private room of Sky Garden.” Stanley said.
Xyla nodded, following closely behind him to the elevator.
Their arrival had garnered the attention of the crowd in the hall.
While they were heading toward the elevator, Xyla’s gaze inadvertently landed at the bar counter, where Georgie Clementine was sitting. She was drinking and enjoying the show alone.
She was dressed in a red bandeau dress, adorning it with her French-girl bangs and delicate makeup. There was a strong aura exuding from her.
Immediately, Xyla stopped walking and looked at Stanley. “You go up first. I saw Georgie. I’ll go over and say hello to her.”
Stanley’s response was a simple nod. He followed her gaze to find where Georgie was before entering the elevator.
Xyla smilingly walked over to Georgie and sat on the empty seat next to her, casually putting one arm around her shoulder. “You came here on your own?”
Pulling Xyla behind her, she glowered at the social media influencer and spat, “I saw it with my eyes, b*tch. It was you who ran into her in the first place. You should apologize to her instead of making up some story to accuse the innocent, okay?”
The social media influencer snorted. “Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, my boyfriend will come down right away and kick you all out of here if I give him a call. I’m the boss here.”
What an arrogant woman. Xyla’s patience was running out, and her temper was flaring.
“I’m the one who got run into because I say so. Even if I wronged someone, no matter who, he or she would have to suffer from my accusation.” The influencer gritted her teeth.
“You’re so shameless.” Georgie sneered.
Triggered by Georgie, the social media influencer raised her hand high in the air and recklessly swung it across Georgie’s face. “I’ve tried to be nice to you, haven’t I? And you’re calling me shameless? How dare you!”
That one slap had set Georgie’s heart on fire. Stirring with anger, she swung her hand across the air and returned a fierce slap on the wicked woman’s cheek.
The influencer was shocked. She staggered backward, her right hand clutching her red face while her other pointing at Xyla and Georgie. “You two are dead. I’m calling my boyfriend right now! Don’t you dare to run away!”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she grabbed her phone and called her boyfriend. “Sob… Please come down to save me. Somebody hit me.”
