Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1917

Sophie Kenwick felt happy when she thought about how she'd soon be able to eat.

Her voice immediately pulled Xyla Quest out of her thoughts.

Xyla composed herself and gazed at Sophie. "Yeah, let's go. Aren't you hungry?"

Sophie nodded while she eagerly led Xyla outside. "Yes, I am starving."

"I'm sorry, I was so distracted with work that I forgot about you," Xyla said.

Sophie immediately shook her head. "It's fine. I know you're busy with work. It's understandable."

Xyla felt her heart swell with warmth when she heard her words of consideration.

By then, Gary had already opened the car doors to the passenger's side as well as the backseat.

It was currently lunchtime, so employees from surrounding buildings had all walked outside.

When they noticed Gary, Xyla, and Sophie, they couldn't resist staring at them, especially the women who stared at Gary in admiration.

Meanwhile, Gary cast a soft gaze upon Xyla and Sophie. "Get in."

Xyla smiled before quickly getting into the backseat. "Thank you."

At the same time, Sophie made her way onto the passenger's seat.

Gary, taking a deep look at Xyla before closing the car doors for the two women, then took his seat behind the wheel and started the engine.

He turned his attention toward Sophie and then at Xyla. "What would you two like to eat?"

Sophie excitedly raised her hand, feeling so hungry she could eat a horse. "I want roasted pork!"

Xyla shrugged nonchalantly and

looked at Gary. "I'm fine with

anything. Let's have what Sophie suggested. I'll eat anything she eats."

"I know a place for delicious roasted pork. I'll take you two there." Gary began driving away, bringing them to an exclusive restaurant in the city center. én.swnovels.net

A waitress immediately led the trio to a private room on the top floor as soon as they entered.

The private room had a traditional design, with furniture made out of high-quality rosewood.

The entire room had a lingering light agarwood scent from a candle on an incense burner made from pure copper. Xyla liked the ambiance, as did Sophie.

After they entered the room, Sophie took the initiative to sit by the window.

Gary naturally sat next to her while Xyla took a seat across from her.

The pretty waitress soon brought

each of them a menu, seeminglet

nervous in front of Xyla and Gary. She didn't even dare to speak unnecessarily.

Gary put the menu down before looking at his lunch companions. "You two can order. I'll eat whatever you order."

Xyla also put the menu down and looked at Sophie. "You can make the order, I'm fine with anything."

Sophie didn't hold back, directly ordering what she wanted to eat.

"Can we have an entire roasted pork, a roasted turkey, stir-fried spicy tofu, stir-fried prawns, and herbal chicken soup?"

Sophie was famished, so she wanted to eat all the dishes she saw on the menu.

Right then, Xyla suddenly felt something in her stomach.
