“I’m renting a place outside with her now. Since we’ve broken up, I’ll have to move out.
“I’ll still need to look for a place to stay for the next two days. Apart from that, I’m working as a waiter in a hotel.
“If I want to set up a hospital, I’ll need to resign first. There are a lot of things I need to do.
“Resigning is easy. I can get it done at a moment’s notice. However, finding a place to stay is difficult. It’ll take a few days,” Adam Shaw explained in detail.
“Oh, I forgot about this. You don’t have to look for a place. I have many houses… I can allow you to stay in one of them for the time being,” Xyla Quest said.
“Of course, it won’t be for free. You’ll have to pay me rent. It’ll be five thousand dollars a month,” Xyla added.
Knowing her personality, she knew that Adam would surely refuse if she said he could stay there for free.
Hence, she decided to charge him some money.
“Okay…” Adam immediately nodded.
Naturally, Adam knew what Xyla was thinking. He was feeling immensely grateful on the inside…
He felt that he was lucky to have known Xyla in this lifetime.
“As for the resignation, get it done quickly tomorrow… Once you’re done, get yourself busy as soon as possible. In that way, you won’t think about nonsense,” Xyla said.
Adam immediately nodded a few times. “I can get it done tonight. I’ll just speak to our manager about it.”
“In that case, I’ll come with you after dinner… After that, I’ll get a few bodyguards to help you with moving,” Xyla said.
“Would it be too much trouble for you? I’m truly sorry…” Adam said.
Xyla’s smile widened gradually. “Not at all… Don’t be sorry,” she said.
Adam smiled awkwardly. After that, he opened another bottle of white wine and intended to drink it.
Seeing how Xyla kept herself occupied for his sake, Adam felt a warm sensation spreading in his heart.
Now, Xyla was like his adopted parents.
Seeing Xyla like this, Adam began to silently swear in his heart that he would not let Xyla down. He would surely use this money to achieve something great in Atlantis!
Adam wanted Xyla to get good returns, and he also wanted his ex-girlfriend to regret everything she did to him today!
Although he didn’t have much of an appetite, he still ate a lot after seeing how passionate Xyla appeared.
Moreover, he didn’t drink any more alcohol.
***
After dinner, Xyla led Adam and her bodyguards to Wishing Star Hotel.
