Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2186

After the awkward encounter earlier, Freda would be sure to knock before entering Xyla 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 relaxed. "Which game did you play today?"

"Honor of Kings," he answered.

"Did you win?"

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

"Awesome."

Talking about games made Xyla want to play, 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 playing, 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 well lately."

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 become the champion of the upcoming spring tournament.

"Yeah, they are excellent," Xyla 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 could compare to them now.

Most importantly, they remained humble and didn't become 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 they'll win the world

husband said confidently.

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

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

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

She committed 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 them on the desk. "I

"Thank you, Freda," Xyla said, feeling equally uneasy, but she maintained her composure.

"You're welcome."
