Chapter 2184


    Stanley Batton''s lips began moving closer to X Quest''s.


    Right then, the office door opened again without warning and Freda hurried in.


    "Ms. Quest, I wanted to ask if Mr. Batton can handle spicy food."


    It was then that her eyes swept over the couple, realizing she had walked in on an intimate moment.


    In the next second, she quickly turned her back to them awkwardly, feeling embarrassed as she apologized frantically. "I''m terribly sorry! I didn''t know you were- sorry!"


    X was mortified, pushing Stanley away to sit awkwardly behind her desk. "H-he eats whatever I eat."


    Right then, she genuinely felt embarrassed but she had to regain herposure.


    Meanwhile, Stanley acted as if nothing happened and continued to look yfully at her.


    "All right, I''ll leave now," Freda said respectfully after hearing what X said.


    With that, she practically ran out, leaning back against the wall as soon as she was outside.


    What she just witnessed made her feel way too awkward.


    ''Ahh!'' she screamed internally.


    Why didn''t she knock first? Her timing was impable to have such a coincidence.


    Reflecting on what she saw, it was such a pretty scene, almost like one found in a well-made idol drama.


    Stanley seemed very seductive.

    Upon realizing the direction her thoughts went, Freda pulled herself together and hurried away.


    She was practically escaping.


    Once her assistant was gone, X''s office became quiet again.


    She gave a stern look at her husband. "We should be more careful in the office."


    "That''s not the point. People should learn how to knock on doors," he replied.

    As soon as she finished her sentence, his feetnded on the floor as he hopped down from her desk.


    Then, he leaned forward, pressing one hand against the back of her chair so that their faces were in close proximity again.


    She could smell the vague oud wood cologne on him.


    "All right, I know," he murmured.


    Being so close together made X''s heart beat out of control again.

    "Umm, are you going back to your office after lunch?"


    "No," he said.


    "Are you free in the afternoon, too?" she asked in surprise.


    "Not originally, no."


    "What do you mean?" she asked.


    "I decided to stay here with you all day long," he told her firmly.


    "Why?"


    “I''ve thought about it carefully, and I think I''ve spent too little time with you recently," he said.


    X seemed confused. “Isn''t that because we''ve been busy working?"


    "Yeah, it is You and I have both been busy, so it''s hard to find time for- each other. That''s why I''ve decided to leave work aside today and spend some time with you here."


    She felt deeply touched. "You don''t have to do this, Honey. We can still spend time together once we get home."
