Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1843

Sophie Kenwick quickly looked up and walked over to the door to open it.

Sebastian Brenand stood outside with an exhausted look on his face.

Ever since he went into a serious relationship with Rachel Wood, he seemed much more collected and organized.

He was wearing a black suit. He had a serious, yet noble air about him, coming across as a successful person.

Sebastian was surprised when he saw Sophie. "Who are you?"

"Uhm... I'm my master's bodyguard," she replied.

Sebastian seemed even more confused when he heard the word 'master'. "Master?"

Why would somebody use such a strange word?

"Yeah," Sophie uttered, wondering what the man was thinking right then.

"All right, is your Master in the office?" Sebastian asked.

Although Sophie was an attractive woman, he no longer felt interested the way he would in the past.

He didn't have the desire to flirt with Sophie at all.

Rachel was his only love in the world.

No matter how pretty other women looked, he couldn't be bothered to let his gaze linger upon them.

"She is," Sophie said before turning to look at Xyla.

Xyla looked up. When she saw Sebastian, she instantly smiled and stood up. "Hey, Sebastian. What brought you here?"

Sebastian returned her smile and stepped forward. "I'm glad you asked."

"So, why are you here to see me?"

Sebastian pulled a chair out and sat down next to Xyla. "Nothing much. There's this new series I'm working on, and I wanted to partner with you on it. It'll be a win-win situation for both of us. What do you think?"

"If it's decent, sure," she responded.

"It certainly is a huge deal. It's called

'Unrestrained', and it's about a

coming-of-age story based in

school..." Sebastian began alled

explain.

Xyla was well aware of the original novel 'Unrestrained', a hugely popular novel.

She previously contacted the website that owned the novel to purchase its copyright but was informed that somebody already beat her to the punch.

Sebastian was the person who bought it.

"Okay, how much do you need me to invest? I'm fine with any amount, but you must let one of my company's artistes star in it," Xyla answered firmly when she heard this

"Of course, you can pick whoever you want," Sebastian said.

"Deal."

"Okay, it's been decided then. How much will you invest?" Sebastian asked.

"I'll invest as much as you want me to," she countered.

"Let's split it fifty-fifty?"

"No problem," she confirmed.

"I like how generous you are," Sebastian smiled.

Xyla smirked in return. "Shall we discuss the details?"

He nodded.

The two of them spent a long time discussing their partnership, where Sebastian agreed to each of her terms while she nodded in

agreement with the facts he

presented.

It was a very amicable discussion which led to an enjoyable and relaxing time spent.

While they were engrossed in their partnership details, Sophie enjoyed herself as she sat quietly nearby to watch her shows.

Sophie tried to keep her laughter soft to avoid disrupting them.

Once the business talk was over, Sebastian looked at Xyla again. "Hey, there's a favor I'd like to ask of you. I wonder if you'd agree."
