The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 583

The two of them were the center of attention.

After taking a few steps forward, Xyla Quest suddenly felt an ache in one of her heels, causing her to frown immediately.

However, she didn’t say a word and continued to walk next to Stanley Batton.

Stanley happened to have caught her micro expression. “What’s the matter?”

Xyla shook her head. “It’s nothing. I guess the high heels must have scraped against my foot.”

“Which one?” Stanley asked.

“The right one,” Xyla said.

Stanley instantly kneeled in front of her and carefully lifted her right leg by holding her right ankle. He then carefully examined her heel.

He could see a large bruise on her heel. The skin on it had torn, and its surrounding was swollen.

His action once again attracted everyone’s attention…

“Why are you only telling me now?” Stanley asked.

“It didn’t hurt before we came down,” Xyla said.

Stanley didn’t say anything else. Instead, he directly carried her in his arms.

When the surrounding employees saw how Stanley was holding Xyla like a princess, they all seemed shocked…

Their CEO, who normally acted coldly and strictly, was behaving in such an affectionate manner, making everyone feel envious.

Xyla felt deeply embarrassed by what Stanley did. She immediately struggled to set herself free. “What are you doing? Put me down. There are a lot of people watching,” she said.

While speaking, Xyla snuck a look around.

Indeed, everybody around them was staring at them.

“Let them watch,” Stanley said. He had no intention of putting her down.

Right after that, he got in from the other side before gently patting his lap. “Put your foot up here.”

“Come on. That’s not necessary. This happens all the time, and I’m used to it,” Xyla said with a nonchalant expression on her face.

Any woman who liked wearing high heels would have experienced this kind of bruise on their heels.

This was something Xyla was very much used to.

Stanley shifted Xyla’s body around and pulled her right foot up onto his lap without saying anything. He then removed her high heels and carefully examined her foot again. After that, he retrieved iodine cotton buds and a pack of band-aids from the glove compartment.

He carefully disinfected her heel before applying a band-aid to it.

Xyla could feel a slight aching sensation across her skin, but she found it somewhat bearable.

Since she wasn’t a particularly sensitive person, she didn’t make a sound throughout the process.

Once the band-aid was properly applied, Stanley satisfactorily placed her foot down where it was initially. He then retrieved a pair of single-use slippers from the glove compartment and placed them by her legs. “Wear this later. Got it?” He said.
