Chapter 28


    “Just wait and see if I can do a good job,” X Quest said calmly.


    Although X did not speak loudly, she sounded firm and convincing.


    The confident look in X’s eyes thoroughly annoyed May Conner.


    “I hope you don’t get overwhelmed by the stressful work. Sometimes, biting more than you can


    chew can end up being horrible for you,” May sneered.


    “Thank you for your concern, Aunty.” X smiled and looked away.


    “I will wait for you to make a fool of yourself.” May rolled her eyes at X before turning around and


    walking away.


    Right then, X was in such a good mood that she could not be bothered by May. After turning


    around, X turned to look at Stanley Batton, who was still standing there stiffly. “Thank you for


    saving me today.”


    Up until now, X was still amazed by Stanley’s brave act of ramming into the sedan with her car.


    “You’re wee.” He looked calmly at X. “What property development is that?”


    “Oh. It’s the Imperial Prime in the city center.” X chuckled.


    “How’s your ankle?” He asked with the same nk expression.


    “Not good…” She answered in pain.


    Before X could finish her sentence, Stanley extended his arm and picked her up.


    X immediately felt her heart clench.


    In broad daylight, and with carsing and going, X was worried that other people might notice


    them.


    “Put me down.” X struggled to set herself free.


    She wondered if the sudden appearance of a bright piercing light came from the sun or his body.


    “Does the car belong to you?” Stanley asked before pointing his well-defined chin at the ck


    business-ss Benz nearby.


    “Yeah.”


    Hearing this, Stanley quickly carried her onto the passenger seat.


    After that, he got into the car and ced her right leg on his thigh casually before examining it


    carefully.


    The spot where she was injured before seemed much better than yesterday as it appeared less


    swollen.


    As soon as his fingertip touched her skin, X felt as if an electric current had entered her and was


    traveling all over her body.


    X immediately pulled her leg away. “I’m really fine. I didn’t hurt my foot earlier.”


    “Okay,” Stanley answered calmly. “From how the car crashed, it definitely can’t be driven anymore.


    I’ll pay you back dor for dor.”


    “It’s fine. You damaged the car from saving me. There’s no need for you to pay me back.” X


    chuckled.


    “Oh,” the man said nonchntly.


    “Oh, yeah. Are you okay? Did you get hurt again?” X asked.


    “No.”


    “Well… Where are you heading to next? I’ll drive you.”


    “It’s okay. Head home and rest,” Stanley said firmly.


    “Let me drive you,” X insisted.


    “Be a good girl. There’s no need to,” he said inly.


    Although those were very simple words, he made them sound extremely affectionate.


    Despite being a calm person, it felt perfectly fitting when Stanley said those words.

    X could not help but take in a deep breath while her heart began to beat wildly.


    Before she could say a word, the man got out of the car and began walking to the roadside in big


    strides.
