Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 261

“Oh, that’s a small issue,” Josh remarked casually.

“How is this a small issue?” Xyla frowned. “It seems like the company needs to give you a few more bodyguards. Five is clearly not enough.”

“Are you really that concerned about me?”

Josh’s lips curled into a dazzling grin. His smile had a purification effect. In an instant, the air inside the car became more refreshing.

Xyla looked solemn. “Be serious.”

“Okay, okay, okay…” Josh’s eyes were filled with affection.

The light turned green and the car moved forward steadily.

About ten minutes later, Josh’s car stopped at the entrance of Serenity, a high-class western restaurant. Josh swiftly put on black sunglasses, a black cap, and a mask before leading Xyla into the restaurant, keeping a low profile.

Once inside, the handsome restaurant manager showed them to the luxurious private room on the second floor. The interior design was reminiscent of an European palace—bedazzled and extremely luxurious. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Besides the long, huge dining table, there was also a sofa and a wine cabinet. A rose-scented candle was lit, emitting a faint fragrance, relaxing their minds.

The two individuals sat at opposite ends of the table. Once they ordered, the manager quickly left the room and closed the door.

Josh leisurely removed his protective gear before quietly looking up quietly at Xyla’s face. His eyes were clear and his lips wore a smile. His entire being was emitting the clean and pure aura of youth. Being scrutinized quietly by him made Xyla feel her body going numb.

“Have you thought about it?” Josh’s smile deepened. A glint flashed enthusiastically in his eyes.

“I’m very much in love with my husband and have no intention of switching him out at the moment, so, I’m sorry.” Xyla looked sincerely at Josh as she spoke without hesitation.

She admitted that he was a great man and was very charming. However, she never felt that way for him.

“You can stop pretending in front of me. I heard from Chief Clementine that you and your husband are in an open relationship,” said Josh.

At this, shock flashed in Xyla’s eyes. When did Georgie tell Josh about this?

Noticing the change in her eyes, Josh laughed again. “When I first entered the company, I tried getting news about your love life from Chief Clementine. That night, a bunch of us went for drinks after work. At the end of the night, when only the two of us were left, we were already drunk.

“Back then, I asked her if you were single, and she told me you weren’t. After that, I pressed her again but she stopped talking. And so, I fed her a few more drinks and kept asking, until she finally told me that you’re actually married. But, you and your husband are in an open relationship. She even told me that both of you will soon divorce,” Josh added.

Upon hearing this, Xyla felt speechless. So, this was how Georgie leaked information. This lass really stirs things up after getting drunk…

Xyla looked unfazed. “It was like that back then, but our relationship is great now.”

“I don’t believe it… If you want to reject me, why don’t you try another reason? I’ve never seen him seeking you out,” Josh’s gaze was firm.

“Whether you believe it or not, it’s true. And I’m not divorcing my husband either. So, it’s best that you dismiss your thoughts as soon as possible. Stop wasting your time on a married woman like me,” said Xyla.

“You’re such a great person, and there are so many girls in love with you. You simply have to wave and countless women who are a dozen times better than me would throw themselves at you,” she added.

“In this world, is there anyone who is better than you?” Josh stared deeply at her, his eyes becoming more passionate.
