Chapter 579


    The lovebirds shared the same straw and drank the same cup of bubble milk tea in full view of the


    crowd. All the employees at the entrance cringed at the intimacy between the two of them.


    “I thought our President doesn’t like sweet drinks?”


    “I thought so too. I’ve never seen our President drink bubble milk tea.”


    “Oh gosh, I’m going to die… They’re too sweet. I feel so jealous of looking at them.”


    Whisper and exmation rounded the employees as they walked into the building.


    With the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton held X Quest’s hand and led her into hispany.


    “Are you sure you don’t want it anymore?” He peeked at the nearly finished bubble milk tea in his


    hand and asked X.


    “Yes,” X said.


    The two of them held hands all the way to the exclusive elevator used by Stanley.


    He threw the empty cup into the trash can beside the elevator before entering the elevator with


    X.


    After the elevator door clicked shut behind them, Stanley abruptly stretched out his long arm and


    pulled X into his embrace.


    X tilted her head up and found herself looking at his perfect jawline. “What are you doing?


    There’re surveince cameras in the elevator. Why can’t you just be normal?”


    “I’m being normal.” Stanley ruffled his chin against the top of her hair repeatedly. His voice was rich


    and silky like the sound of the cello.


    Without warning, he gripped her legs and lifted her from the floor.


    X subconsciously wrapped her legs around his waist and swung her arms around his neck,


    pressing their chests together. “What are you trying to do again?”


    “Well, f*ck…” He chuckled.


    X’s heart instantly went numb, her blood boiling in her veins. “Stanley Batton… Is it that fun to


    tease me?”


    “Yes, it’s interesting.” Stanley continued to hug her tightly in his arms. His grin spread to his eyes as


    he studied her beautiful face lovingly.


    “I don’t care.” X struggled. “Put me down, please. What are we even doing here in the


    elevator…”


    Following that statement, she caught a glimpse of the surveince cameras around her.


    This was so embarrassing!


    Maybe everyone in the security room was watching them right now.

    “I can do whatever I want in my ce.”


    As soon as Stanley finished his sentence, they had reached the floor where his office was located.


    The elevator doors gradually opened…


    However, he totally had no intention of letting X go. He carried her all the way to his office without


    caring how the others would think about him.


    A cleaningdy was dumbfounded when she saw the two of them.


    She thought she was hallucinating at that moment.


    Immediately, she pped her face hard and fixed her gaze upon their receding back again. “Is that


    our President? Would he do something like that?”


    Was he the cool, apathetic president that she knew?


    When the pair got into the office, Stanley closed the door behind him before putting X down on


    the sofa. His movement was light and gentle as if he was handling a valuable antique or a priceless


    treasure.


    He then ced both of his hands on the sofa’s backrest, circling X in his arms. “Be a good girl


    while your hubby goes to make money, okay?”


    “I will,” answered X obediently.


    Her heart was in a mess due to the proximity between their bodies.


    She could hardly sit still as she gaped at the appealing man in front of her.


    “Do you want to y League of Legends?” He asked.


    “Yeah.”


    Without thinking, he went to take hisptop and ced it on the coffee table. “y on your own,


    alright? I’ll go to work first…”


    “Is it okay if I take yourptop?” asked X.


    “Yes, go ahead…”


    He stroked her hair gently once more before returning to his office desk.


    He took off his tailored suit and sat down solemnly. His smile died, and he wore a serious


    expression as he started to work.


    He was apletely different person when he was working, serious yet distant. This was how a


    business elite should look like.


    X loved to see him that way.


    He looked even more charming when he was serious at work, way better than any male lead in the


    dramas.


    After staring at her husband for quite some time, X finally returned to her senses and flipped


    open theptop. She logged into the game and began to y, cross-legged.


    Although she did not have a mouse and gaming keyboard, her skillful operation was not affected at


    all.
