“Yeah… I have one more document to go through…” Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest with one hand while he held a document in his other hand and continued reading it.
All the documents he came into contact with contained highly confidential information in the company.
However, Stanley never tried to stop Xyla from reading them.
The documents were all in a foreign language. Since Xyla was fluent in it, she could read all of it.
After reading through the document, Stanley decisively signed his name on it.
It was a very cool signature, and it looked almost as good as him in person.
After that, Stanley tossed the document onto the table before holding Xyla up and putting her down carefully on the table…
Realizing what was about to happen next, Xyla immediately grabbed him by the collar with both hands. “Let’s not do it today.”
However, before she even finished speaking, Stanley kissed her.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious van, Josh Batton crossed one leg over the other as he leaned lazily against the soft seat. He was silently watching the video of Xyla dancing.
He had watched it several times.
This was a side of her he had never seen before.
She seemed energetic.
Regardless of what Xyla did, she looked attractive.
Very soon, the van stopped in front of an airport.
Josh Batton was escorted out of the car by a group of security guards.
As soon as he got out, countless fans who came to see him rushed over.
A black mass of people swarmed around him.
Everyone was chanting his name as they expressed how much they loved him and missed him.
However, he felt nothing at all.
Right after that, he downed the alcohol from his glass.
As the burning liquor washed down his throat, he wondered when Rachel would return to his side.
After lighting up a cigarette, he began taking quick puffs at it. He was trying to fill the emptiness in his heart with nicotine.
However, the more he drank, the lonelier he felt. Likewise, the more he smoked, the emptier he felt inside.
Sebastian really did miss Rachel Wood a lot.
Whenever he closed his eyes, all he could see was her smiling face.
Recently, Sebastian felt that he had become a mad person. He had been drinking and smoking all day long, and he couldn’t bring himself to feel interested in anything. He felt like a zombie.
In the past, the people he looked down on the most were men who allowed women to bring chaos into their lives.
Yet now, he had become just the kind of person he used to look down on the most.
After taking two more puffs at his cigarette, Sebastian felt even more agitated.
