Chapter 1089
Originally, X Quest wanted to go back to Quest Group. But seeing that it waste, she decided to
head home.
Hence, she called Stanley Batton on the phone as she drove.
“I’m ready to head home… Have you gotten home yet? I want to eat the dumplings you make
tonight,” X asked straightforwardly.
On the other end of the call, Stanley was still sitting in front of hisptop. As his hand identally
touched the loudspeaker button, X’s voice could now be heard in the entire office.
Suddenly, the employees who were paying serious attention to what Stanley was saying while they
stared at theirptops were all stunned…
Stanley didn’t care either. Instead, he calmly switched off the loudspeaker function. After that, he
slowly stood up and walked over to the huge French window. “Sure. What fillings do you want?” He
looked down at the congested city calmly as he asked.
Although Stanley had walked away, the employees from various departments could still hear him
clearly.
The expressions of everyone on the screen grew increasingly bizarre.
“Let’s go with a mixture of three types of fillings. Are you at home?” X asked.
“Hmm… I’m in a meeting… I’ll head home immediately,” Stanley said.
“Forget it then. I’ll make it myself,” X said.
“There’s no need… I’ll make it for you once I get home. The meeting here will be ending soon,”
Stanley said.
“In that case, I’ll buy the ingredients,” X said.
“Okay,” Stanley said.
After that, the two of them hung up at the same time.
Stanley slowly turned around. Instantly, his facial expression turned cold once again. He returned to
theptop…
On the screen, the employees who initially had odd looks in their eyes immediately resumed their
originally serious sitting posture when they saw himing over.
“Alright… That’s it for today’s meeting… Dismissed,” Stanley said indifferently.
After that, he directly turned off hisptop.
The next second, everyone in thepany went crazy. Thepany’s main group chat was
flooded—
“Huh? Didn’t he say today’s meeting would end at seven o’clock? Did he leave just like that after his
wife said she wanted to eat dumplings?”
“To be honest, I don’t think anything is shocking about this, is there? It’s not the first time we’ve seen
him like this.”
“I’m very curious how X managed to do that. How could she order our CEO around as she
deemed fit?”
“I’m more curious about what methods X used to control a man like Stanley.”
“I suggest X publish a book on how to control one’s husband. I’m sure it’ll sell like hotcakes,
alright?”
Since Stanley wasn’t in this group, everyone spoke their mind a little more freely…
On the other hand, in the special assistant’s office, Zack Cassidy kept an eye on the messages in
the group chat.
While he read thements from the employees, Zack silently pushed his silver-framed sses up
his nose bridge. ‘To be honest, I’m also curious about the things you are all curious about.’ He
thought.

X first went to the supermarket to buy groceries. After that, she carried all the stuff she bought
and returned home.
Just as she arrived home, Stanley walked through the door.
He had a ck coat casually hung on his arm. Although he was tired after a long day, he didn’t
show it at all.

When Stanley saw X, a smile instantly appeared on his cold, austere face. “Is it heavy?”
After saying that, Stanley reached out and took the bag full of groceries away from her.
X shook her head. “I’m not a weak girl. It’s not heavy for me.”
Stanley affectionately ruffled her hair. “Alright. Go and sit down. I’ll cook for you now.”
“Why don’t I help you? I can knead the dough and roll it out for you. What do you think?” X asked
with interest.
“It’s okay. I’ll do it… Go and rest… You’ve had a long day,” Stanley said.
“But I’m not tired…” X’s voice sounded soft and gentle as usual.
“Even if you’re not tired, you should go and y your games… Did you get married to me just to
cook?” Stanley asked.
“You’ll end up spoiling me like this,” X said.
The glisten in X’s eyes grew brighter with her smile. Under the soft lighting, her fairy-like aura
became even more obvious.
