Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 525

Stanley Batton waved at Xyla Quest before tapping on his thigh as if nobody else was around. "Come over..." He said. The high-level executives were all dumbfounded by the sight of a real-life, domineering CEO being romantic with his wife. "Come with me, everyone," Zack Cassidy said while he looked at them.

With that, Zack walked out of the office with the group of high-level executives following behind him in a neat, single file. Meanwhile, Xyla obediently stood up and walked up to Stanley before sitting down on his lap.

Everyone who walked out of the office was feeling unusually relaxed.

"I feel great during the meeting today... This is the first time I've seen our CEO being kind. It's also the first time I've not felt nervous in a meeting with him."

"I was shocked when I saw that beautiful woman as I entered the office. When did Master Batton, who had always treated work seriously, start allowing an outsider in on his meetings?"

"Looks like the rumors from before were true. Xyla's alleged husband, Stanley Batton, really is our CEO."

"I didn't believe it back then because the pictures of him were always taken from the side, and they seemed to have been taken from afar. Most importantly, the rumors on the internet claimed Xyla's husband was a medical practitioner. I've also never heard anything about our CEO getting married..."

"Did you notice the details? Our CEO actually allowed his wife to play games with his personal laptop! Xyla Quest really does have a special place in his heart.”

After hearing what everyone said, Zack coughed gently and turned around to look at them. "The Batton family has always prioritized their family members' privacy. The same rule applies. Whatever you've found out, you must keep it within the organization. You shall not leak it to outsiders, and you definitely aren't allowed to take photos. I hope all of you will tell your employees to do the same once you return," Zack said.

"That's for sure. Don't worry, Mr. Cassidy," One of the high-level executives said.

Each of them returned to their own departments and quickly passed on the message. They forbade their subordinates from sharing news about Stanley and Xyla to outsiders.

As soon as the order was announced, there was a commotion in each of the departments. Suddenly, the news between Stanley and Xyla became the most popular topic of discussion among employees in the entire office.

Of course, all of them only dared to discuss it within the organization. None of them had the courage to leak the news to outsiders.

That was because there was a clause in their employee contract that forbade them from leaking any information or gossip related to the Batton family. If they were to do so, there was a shocking amount of fine they needed to pay.

Once everyone had left, it became quiet in the huge office.

Xyla gently rested her head against Stanley's shoulder. "Are you tired?" She asked.

"Not too bad. Were you playing games?" Stanley said.

"Yeah. I won both matches that I played," Xyla said.

"Amazing."

"Are you going to continue working?" Xyla asked.

"Yes," Stanley answered.

"I shall not bother you in that case." Xyla quickly stood up and was about to return to her game.

However, in the next second, Stanley extended his hand and naturally pulled her onto his lap. After that, his lip moved close to hers. "Wait a second..." Xyla said before pressing her hands against his chest. "What are you doing? It's under broad daylight," she said.

"What's wrong with doing it under broad daylight?" Stanley asked.

"No... Hmm..."

As soon as Stanley stopped talking, he forcefully pressed his lips against hers.

After that, he pressed a button on a remote control next to him.

All curtains in the room began to slide downward...

The entire room became as dim as the time of dusk.

Right after that, Stanley pressed a button on another remote control. The door automatically locked itself from the inside.

In the sealed space, Stanley could do whatever he wanted.

He was still the ruler who reigned over everyone else.
