Ryleigh waved to them and walked toward Louis after they left.
“Are you waiting for me?”
Louis looked at her.
“Who else would I be waiting for.” He raised his hand and played with her ponytail. She was smiling
widely.
” I guess the performance went well.”
Ryleigh turned away and was proud for a moment, “There’s nothing that I can’t handle.”
Louis pinched her cheek and chuckled.
” What do you want for dinner?”
Ryleigh took his arm.
“I want some roasted chicken, lemon duck, roasted beef, and…”
“Why are they all meat?”I’m craving meat!” Her expression was fierce.
Louis looked at her and glanced at her belly.
“Oh, do you think you’re…”
She paused.
“What?”
Louis pressed his palm to her belly with a smile.
“What do you think?”
Ryleigh slapped his hand away.
“No way!”
He chuckled and pulled her into his arms.
” Barbara is pregnant now, so we can’t be too far behind, right?” She choked, then mumbled, “That’s
not what I alone can do…”
Louis kissed her cheek.
“Are you trying to say that I’m not working hard enough?”
Ryleigh blushed and pushed him away.
“I want to go home!”
Louis looked at her trying to run away because she was so shy, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
He noticed something and turned around, but there was no one at the stairs.
After hearing the footsteps leave, the masked woman hiding behind the stairs left hurriedly. Jodie sat
on the broken couch having fast food in a simple home. When she saw the beautiful Xyla on the TV,
she threw her remote at it and stopped eating.
There was a knock on the door. Jodie walked over to open it when she saw a woman standing outside
and was surprised.
“Who are you?”
The woman wore a mask. Her face couldn’t be seen other than her eyes, but Jodie could tell that she
was close to her age.
She walked into Jodie’s home and looked around.
“Are you happy staying in a disgusting place like this?”
“Who are you?” Jodie was on high alert because she didn’t remember coming across this woman.
The woman smiled.
“You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that we have a common enemy.”
Jodie was stunned.
The next day, at Skyhigh Condo…
Xyla practiced her dance moves for the next movie in the yoga room. She had her earphones on and
was immersed in the music, so she didn’t hear the doorbell.
Mindy stood there, ringing the bell. When there was no answer, she awkwardly turned around to Yorrick
and said, “Mr. Hathaway, Xy is probably at home. She only comes here a few times a month.”
Yorrick crossed his arms.
“She’s not at the Mayweather mansion.”
Mindy was startled. Yorrick told her to call instead. Mindy didn’t know what to say, but he was the boss,
and she couldn’t endure the threat’ because of ‘friendship’.
Thus, she called Xyla.
Xyla had her Bluetooth headphones on, so the ringtone replaced the music, and she almost went deaf.
She accepted the call.
” What’s up?”
“Xy, are you at the condo?”
“Yes.”
“…” Mindy peeked at Yorrick, “I’m outside.”
“Oh, hold on.” Xyla hung up, wiped her sweat with the towel around her neck, and walked to the door.
