Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 427

A grin formed on Noah Smith's face, his exquisite dimples raised at the corners of his mouth. "That's great to hear. I bought a little gift on my way here. Hope you like it.....”

"Thanks, they're beautiful. I love it," replied Xyla with delight as she examined the beauty of the scarlet bouquet.

There was not a single woman on earth who could resist the charm of flowers, and this included her.

"Glad you like it." Noah placed the flowers on the bedside table with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Oh that's right, let me introduce you to Georgie." Xyla looked toward Georgie with a smile. "Georgie Clementine here, is the Chief Executive of X entertainment. Most of X entertainment's popular stars today were all mentored by her. She's older than you so you can call her Georgie."

Hearing that, Noah immediately reached a hand out to Georgie. "Nice to be of your acquaintance Georgie, I'm Noah Smith, but you can call me Noah. Xyla calls me that as well."

Georgie rose to her feet in response, a wide smile on her face as she shook Noah's hand. "Nice to meet you too Noah."

It was only her first time meeting Noah, but he had already left a very good impression on her. Noah Smith, the Vice President's only son.

Despite being a high ranking member of society, he was very nice and approachable. Georgie could hardly sense any arrogance or boastfulness in him.

"Speaking of which, I've already drawn up your contract with us, Noah. It's just in my car. I'll go bring it up for you to have a look at if you don't mind waiting here for a moment," Georgie said as she faced Noah "Sure, I'm fine with a little wait," replied Noah in agreement.

Upon finishing his sentence, he sat at the edge of Xyla's bed before adding, "I'll stay here with Xyla. You go on ahead Georgie."

Georgie beamed a smile at them before heading downstairs.

"How's the wound on your body looking? Does it still hurt?" Noah asked, his voice full of concern.

Xyla shook her head. "Well, it's not particularly painful... It's bearable."

"That's good. I've told my mom about your surgery. She said she'll come visit you later in the afternoon. She's with my dad at a very important party at the moment," said Noah.

Hearing that Aunt Rebecca cared for her warmed Xyla's heart. "She doesn't need to pay a visit if she's too busy. I'm fine."

"My mom would come over even if you were in peak condition. You have no idea how much she likes you. She was so worried the moment she found out about your surgery. The only other times I've seen her that worried was when dad and I were sick."

Upon hearing that, the smile on Xyla's face only beamed wider. Her heart was filled with an endless warmth.

Meanwhile, Stanley Batton sat in the President's office of the Dragon Group.

In his hand was a limited edition Gilt pen. The dashing man signed the two documents on his table before picking them up and handing them to Zack Cassidy.

Zack, who had been standing in front of Stanley's table, took the documents solemnly in both hands, before turning to leave.

"Zack..." Stanley called out with an indifferent tone as he stared at his back.

Zack turned to look at Stanley's apathetic face. "What are your orders, Fifth Master?"

Retracting the tip of his pen, Stanley placed it to the side of his table.

Leaning his elbows against the rosewood desk, he crossed his forearms together. His expression bore a deep seriousness and he looked straight into Zack's eyes. "If there's a drastic change in a woman's attitude toward you... What would the reason be?"
