When Xyla Quest saw that the call was from Georgie Clementine, she immediately picked it up.
“Did you see the trending topics? Someone has actually decorated the entire city of Atlantis with roses for his wife.” Georgie sounded somewhat shocked.
“Yeah. I saw it,” Xyla said and chuckled.
“This man is really rich. I’m impressed,” Georgie said.
“Yeah,” Xyla replied calmly.
“Why do you sound so calm? Aren’t you curious at all?” Georgie asked.
“Yeah, I’m not curious.” Xyla smiled deeply.
“Could you happen to know who he is?” Georgie asked with a sense of curiosity.
“Yeah, I do…” Xyla said.
“Who is it?” Georgie asked.
“Stanley Batton…” Xyla said.
“What? It’s actually him?” Georgie was utterly stunned.
Xyla remained silent with a calm expression on her face.
“He must really love you to go this far, President Xyla. You ought to appreciate him,” Georgie said.
“Yeah.”
After chatting with Georgie for a while, Xyla hung up the phone.
She then continued to browse the trending topics a little bit before immersing herself completely in work.
At the same time, the news about flowers being decorated all over the city was still increasing in popularity on the internet. Everyone was now focused on it.
However, without the main male and female characters being revealed up until now, everyone became increasingly curious.
At noon, after finishing all her work, Xyla picked up her phone. She decided to have lunch at the cafeteria downstairs.
Xyla had heard people saying things like this very often. Hence, she remained completely unaffected.
While listening to these discussions, she continued to walk over to the self-service area. She picked up a plate and started filling it with food.
At the self-service area, the eight most popular dishes from around the country were served.
Xyla chose the simplest dishes, including fried eggs with tomatoes, crispy chicken wings, braised chicken, and fried rice with eggs.
After that, she walked to a table with two seats and started eating.
While she ate, there were occasionally employees who greeted her.
She politely greeted each of them in return.
Although the male employees were all captivated by her beauty, they only dared to greet her.
To them, Xyla was way out of their league. She might seem down-to-earth, but there was no way they could get any closer.
Halfway through the meal, Jeremy walked over to Xyla with a plate of food and a smile on his face. He sat down in front of her.
