Chapter 2187


    "Yes." Freda''s face reddened before she sped away.


    Once she was gone, the atmosphere became quiet once more.


    X Quest''s hunger became apparent as the aroma from the food containers circted her office. Eagerly, she brought them over to the coffee table while her husband followed closely behind her.


    They simultaneously took their containers to unpack them. Inside, they found three dishes in total, including stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, minced meat, and braised eggnts.


    They both liked these dishes.


    After lunch, X resumed her work while Stanley Batton settled on the couch to continue ying his games as he apanied her in the office. Although neither of them intruded on each other''s space, they seemed perfectly content together.


    At the same time, her employees were spamming messages in thepany''s WeChat group, where the main topic was regarding Stanley''s presence in their building.


    "Mr. Batton doesn''t n on leaving today, does he? Ms. Quest is busy working while he''s just apanying her. He loves her that much?" "I think he''s the best husband in the world. None of the wealthy men in Antis could do better than him."


    "I heard Mr. Batton even gave Ms. Quest a massage. I can''t believe it."


    "I can''t imagine Mr. Batton giving her a massage. He''s such a powerful man, but he''s so loving privately."


    "Stop talking. All I want is to be Ms. Quest right now."


    X was not part of the WeChat group, so she was oblivious all thesements were swirling around the office.


    Her assistant, Freda, however, was. She silently read every message, but she didn''t want to inform her boss about the gossip.


    At around three o''clock in the


    afternoon, X looked up from her ents, her gazending on her


    husband loungingzily against her couch nearby.


    He was still ying Honor of Kings, she guessed, as his long, distinct fingers rapidly tapped on his phone screen.


    At first nce, he looked like the leading male character in an e-sports novel.


    Knock, knock, knock-


    Her attention immediately flew toward the door. "Come in."


    The door opened, and Freda walked in hesitantly again.


    Stanley''s continued presence made her unusually nervous.


    Inhaling deeply, she hurried over to. the desk. "Ms. Quest, the

    HC Magazine are here."


    A sudden recollection appeared in her mind that she''d agreed to an interview with HC Magazine today.


    She had been too busy for the past two days and had forgotten about it.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "All right, let them in," she told her assistant, who nodded before turning around to leave.


    Once the door closed, X turned to


    her husband. "Honey, I

    He nodded. “Okay, you can go ahead. Don''t mind me."


    "Okay, sure, but I can go somewhere else if you think it would be too distracting for you."


    "It''s fine," he stated, still focused on his game as he spoke.


    Smiling at his concentration, X retrieved a mirror from her drawer, checking her makeup before adjusting her clothes.
