Chapter 523


    There were all sorts of delicacies on the coffee table, all of which were X Quest’s favorites.


    The dishes included beef noodle, stir-fried vegetables, braised sea cucumber with scallions, stewed


    pigeon soup, pumpkin porridge, and eggnt with minced pork.


    “Did you order all these?” X asked.


    “Yeah. They’re all your favorites,” Stanley Batton said before tugging at X’s hand and sitting


    down. He then sat X on one of his legs. “Did you miss me? Hmm?” He asked.


    His warm breath spread across X’s neck, making her feel as if an electric current was flowing


    through her entire body.


    Her heart began to beat wildly in that instant.


    “Yeah. How about you?” X nodded gently.


    After that, Stanley shifted her body such that she was sitting right on hisp. He then circled his


    arms around her waist and pressed his forehead against hers. “I miss you… A lot. I wished I could


    be an essory you wear on your body.”


    When X heard the sweet things he said, she felt extremely happy on the inside.


    “You are such a sweet-talker.” X smiled widely.


    “What I said is true…” Stanley said.


    “Okay. I’ll force myself to believe you…” X said.


    She was enjoying this sweet romance a lot.


    “Are you free for the rest of the afternoon?” Stanley asked.


    “Yeah… I’ve finished all my work,” X said.


    “Why don’t you stay here with me?” He asked.


    “Why didn’t I realize you were this clingy before?” X asked.


    “It’s not toote to realize it now,” Stanley said.


    “Fine.” X nodded.


    “It’s decided then. I’ll pass you myptop and tabletter. You can use them to y games or watch


    videos. It’s up to you,” Stanley said.


    X turned around to look at his desk.


    There was only oneptop on the table.


    “Aren’t you worried that I might steal all the confidential stuff rted to work from yourptop?” X


    said jokingly.


    “You wouldn’t.”


    “I’m hungry,” X said and chuckled.


    “Let’s eat…” Stanley immediately put her down before handing her a pair of chopsticks.


    After taking the chopsticks, X picked up a bowl of rice and began digging in.


    Knock, knock, knock…


    Right then, someone knocked on the door.


    “Come in,” Stanley said.


    The door was opened right away.


    Zack Cassidy quickly walked in. When he saw X, he nodded at her politely before walking over to


    Stanley.


    X recognized his face.


    Back in the shopping mall where she had a conflict with Mary Sullivan, Zack was the one who


    represented Stanley and kicked Mary out. He even told Mary that she had been cklisted, and she


    would never be allowed into any shopping mall owned by Stanley.


    X politely nodded at him with a smile on her face.


    “Master Batton, about the meeting we hadn’t finished thest time… Should we do it this


    afternoon?” Zack asked carefully.


    “Yeah,” Stanley answered.


    “In that case, I’ll inform the rest to wait for you in the meeting room after lunch,” Zack replied to


    confirm.


    “Let’s not do it at the meeting room,” Stanley requested.
