Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest struggled to get up, but Stanley Batton forcefully pressed her down onto his lap. "Be good... Wait for me, hmm?"

Now, Xyla suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed as her face turned red.

His embrace was making her heart beat so fast she felt as if it would soon leap out of her chest.

The gazes of people in the computer screen made her feel even more nervous.

"You're in a meeting. Can't you be more serious?" Xyla bemoaned.

"How am I not being serious?" Stanley retorted with a serious look in his face before turning to face the people in his computer screen. "Let's end the meeting for today." People in the meeting room looked at one another.

Stanley turned off his laptop right away before unplugging his earphones. "Let's go out and eat," he said as he looked at Xyla.

Xyla quickly got up from his lap. "I've already made dinner."

"Who said you could cook?" Stanley asked.

"My body is almost fully recovered. Why can't I cook?" Xyla said.

"Even if it's almost fully recovered, you still aren't allowed to cook," he said.

Xyla was speechless.
