Chapter 951


    Stanley Batton affectionately ruffled X Quest’s hair and looked down at her. “Is it good?”


    X nodded.


    Zack Cassidy had bought the ck pepper vored steak she liked. The texture was excellent. Not


    only was the meat tender, but it was also juicy. X liked it a lot.


    “Have some more, okay?” Stanley said.


    With that, he gracefully picked up his knife and fork, and he started to enjoy the delicious food.


    When others saw that Stanley was eating, they eagerly picked up their knives and forks, and they


    started to eat too.


    They ate and discussed work over the meeting at the same time. Everyone still seemed serious.


    After finishing her steak, X carefully opened a bottle of strawberry milk tea. She drank it while


    she yed with her phone.


    Once she finished drinking the milk tea, she felt exhausted.


    Hence, she leaned against her chair and was prepared to rest with her eyes closed for a while.


    However, she somehow ended up falling asleep without realizing it.


    Not long after falling asleep, her body started leaning toward Stanley. Her headnded on hisp.


    Stanley, who was concentrating on the meeting, then ruffled her hair affectionately. After that, he


    looked at everyone solemnly. “Be softer… Don’t wake her up.”


    X’s face looked extremely gentle as she slept on hisp.


    With just one look, Stanley felt as if his heart was melting.

    When everyone heard this, they immediately held their breaths and nodded.


    After that, everyone lowered their voices when they spoke.


    The meeting went on.


    Stanley gently brushed his hand against X’s hair while he listened intently to what everyone was


    saying.


    Under the light, the side of X’s face looked as perfect as if god himself had shaped it.


    Stanley’s movement was very, very gentle. It was almost like he was petting an expensive, white


    Persian cat.


    To avoid waking X up and making Stanley angry, everyone lowered their voices as much as they


    could.


    ***


    At half-past nine, the meeting ended.


    Stanley still didn’t wake X up.


    Instead, he gently carried her in his arms and walked out of the meeting room.


    Nobody dared to make a sound.


    Zack and the bodyguards even deliberately walked softly as they followed Stanley and X.


    After Stanley and his entourage walked away, the crowd in the conference room let out a collective


    sigh of relief as if they had been set free.


    Soon, everyone couldn’t resist discussing what just happened.


    “Sigh… I was nearly suffocating myself. I kept forcing myself to speak softer. It felt terrible…”


    “Yeah. This is the first time I saw our CEO being so protective toward a girl.”


    Two high-level executives conversed with each other in English.


    Right after that, a high-level female executive with blonde hair and blue eyes looked in Stanley’s


    direction with an expression of admiration on her face. “Isn’t there a saying in Country Z? One


    would be too afraid to eat something, but they’d also be afraid of dropping it if they held it with their


    hands… This is precisely meant for the CEO’s wife.


    “I’ve finally seen it myself today. I really didn’t expect that the CEO would be like this too.” Another


    high-level female executive with blonde hair and blue eyes also spoke fluently in Country Z’s


    language.

    Stanley carried X to the office’s main lobby. X then slowly opened her eyes.


    Now, she felt much more energetic. The exhaustion she felt from traveling earlier was also gone.
