Chapter 2186


    After the awkward encounter earlier, Freda would be sure to knock before entering X Quest''s office next time.


    So, she allowed Stanley Batton to do what he wanted and indulged him for now.


    She rested her head against his shoulder and rxed. "Which game did you y today?"


    "Honor of Kings," he answered.


    "Did you win?"


    "Yeah, I was great in every match," he replied smugly.


    "Awesome."


    Talking about games made X want to y, too, but the rational part of her mind was telling her to prioritize work first.


    She still had a lot of work to deal with, and once she started ying, she would lose track of time.


    She would have to start working in earnest after lunch.


    "My teammates were great, too, so it wasn''t so bad," he said.


    He then gazed at her. "Team XS has been doing welltely."


    Team XS had been winning every match since the spring tournament and maintained their number one spot in the league. They didn''t even lose in minor battles.


    It seemed very likely they would be the champion of the uing spring tournament.


    "Yeah, they are excellent," X agreed enthusiastically. "These kids are brave in the game, and they all work very hard."


    She was increasingly impressed and satisfied with Team XS''s performance. No other team in the world couldpare to them now.


    Most importantly, they remained humble and didn''t be obnoxious despite winning the world championship once.


    They each remembered why they started this journey and kept moving forward.


    She believed they could achieve even greater things.


    "Yes, they''re pretty good. If they keep this up, they''ll win the world


    championship again this year.nex


    husband said confidently.


    W


    She seemed very proud. "Yeah, I sure hope so. If they keep it up, they might probably win."


    As they spoke, X''s phone started ringing, pulling her gaze to her screen.


    There was a notification that Team XS would bepeting that night at seven o''clock.


    Shemitted it to memory before putting her phone aside.


    Right then, someone knocked on the door, prompting her to jump up and adjust her clothes.


    That was when she realized that one of her buttons was left open.


    She rolled her eyes at Stanley and quickly buttoned it up before calling out toward the door. "Come in!"


    Her appearance seemed businesslike and proper again.


    Freda entered, carrying two food containers.


    She still felt awkward to see the couple after experiencing the encounter earlier.


    She carefully set the food containers in front of th


    them on the desk. "I


    bought these from thepa

    canteen. Enjoy your meal."


    "Thank you, Freda," X said, feeling equally uneasy, but she maintained herposure. "You''re wee."Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
