Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

There was quite a distance between Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, making it difficult for her to hear what exactly he was talking about with the person on the call. However, from the changes in his facial expression and judging by the tone of his voice, Xyla was fairly certain that Stanley was talking to his girlfriend.

Perhaps they had agreed to go somewhere together today, but they had to cancel their plans because of her.

Xyla's heart began to ache while her thoughts went wild.

Stanley hung up the phone and walked over to Xyla before sitting down once more. "Are you hungry? I'll get something for you," he said.

Xyla looked away so that he couldn't see the disappointment in her eyes. "It's okay. Georgie will be here soon. You can leave now. You're not needed here anymore," she said blatantly.

Her cold attitude made Stanley frown again. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. I just want to be alone. Hurry along and leave now," said Xyla.

"There's something you're not telling me." He pressed on.

"I'm being serious. I'm tired. I just want to rest for a while... Hurry up and attend to the things you need to do. I've kept you here long enough."

After finishing her sentence, Xyla turned to face the window, her back facing Stanley.
