“Mr. Brown will surely reap what he sowed,” Georgie Clementine said.
Xyla Quest sneered. “If things go as I expect, Suzie will come looking for you within two days…”
“That’s without a doubt. Well, I shan’t bother you anymore. I’ll put on my makeup and get to work,” Georgie said.
“Okay,” Xyla said.
After hanging up, Xyla sat up. She blushed as she looked at the handsome man beside her who was smoking. “Sorry about that…”
Stanley Batton took a long puff at his cigarette before exhaling slowly. He gently rubbed her head. “It’s fine. We can continue after you’re done with work…”
With that, Stanley picked up his phone and opened Weibo’s list of trending topics. He began slowly reading through it without any emotion in his eyes.
Embarrassed, Xyla started to blush, and her heartbeat went wild again.
She instantly took a deep breath and opened Weibo’s list of trending topics.
The spectacular scene that came into sight put a pretty smile on Xyla’s face…
She immediately opened each topic and skimmed through it.
After that, she closed Weibo with a satisfied look on her face before turning to look at Stanley.
Noticing that he was also looking at the list of trending topics, Xyla immediately moved closer and leaned her head against his shoulder. “It’s finally resolved…”
Stanley slowly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. He then extended his arm around Xyla’s shoulders. “Are you done reading?”
Xyla nodded slightly. “Yeah…”
In the next second, Stanley started doing whatever he wanted with Xyla again.
The temperature in the room gradually increased to what it was before.
Georgie immediately looked at the receptionist before adjusting her dark blue formal attire. She then walked over to the pretty receptionist. “What’s the matter?”
“This Chanel purse… Mr. Armstrong refused to take it back.” The pretty receptionist carefully handed over a large package to Georgie. “We didn’t have a choice. We’ve tried sending it over twice, and it was rejected on both occasions…”
Georgie nodded before tapping on the package gently as she dialed Henry’s number.
When Henry saw Georgie’s incoming call, he instantly picked up with a deep smile on his face. “Honey… Do you miss me?” he asked.
“Who’s your honey? Henry Armstrong… What do you want? Why did you refuse to accept the package I’ve sent to you twice?” Georgie asked.
“Are you so keen to return the stuff to me?” Henry continued grinning cheekily.
“Yes…” Georgie said.
“I’ll give you an address. You’ll have to personally deliver it to me… If you don’t do it personally, I won’t accept it…” Henry said.
