Oh and this one the gold rimmed glasses business elite cold and aloof a total dreamboat Should we ask him to get on his knees and sing a song for you
Wendy all these men are your personal harem Pick whoever you like
Stanley s lips pressed into a thin grim line He truly hadn t realized that Wendy had an entire lineup of potential suitors vying for
her attention.
Wendy picked up her phone and casually sent a voice message back. “Got it, I’ll be there soon.”
When she turned around,she came face–to–face with Stanley. She handed him a piece of paper.
“Mr. Hawk, this is the recipe for Grandma’s herbal soup. Boil it over high heat for an hour every Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday Make sure she drinks it while it s still warm
Stanley s gaze dropped to the paper realizing she had been writing the recipe earlier Her handwriting was neat and elegant She had listed various herbal ingredients
You know medicine he asked
Yes I ve studied a little Wendy replied nonchalantly
Stanley didn t take the paper To be safe I ll have a doctor review it
Wendy wasn’t surprised by his reaction. She knew Stanley looked down on her, dismissing her as a nobody from the countryside.Shecould understand why–after all, Stanley was amanborn with the world athisfeet.

Stanley studied her cold and distant expression She seemed utterly detached a stark contrast to last night
Last night she had been a temptress clinging to him looking at him with those watery irresistible eyes stealing kisses like a
mischievous kitten.
The same woman who had seduced him so boldly was now acting as if she wanted nothing to do with him.
Stanley let out a cold laugh. “So late at night, who are you meeting? The gym enthusiast with eight–pack abs? The shy guy? Or the aloof one? Wendy, I didn’t know you were so…adventurous. Be careful you don’t catch something filthy and bring it back.”
Slap!
Her freehand swung up landing a hard slap across his face
Stanley s head snapped to the side his chiseled features turning partially away from her
Wendy had hit him with all her strength leaving her palm stinging from the impact
Stanley s eyes darkened with fury a crimson light flashing in their depths He shoved her forcefully her knees buckling against the edge of the bed sending her sprawling on to the soft mattress
In the next moment, her view was obscured as Stanley’s tall frame loomed over her. Hepinnedher beneath him, his sharp gaze cutting into her. “Wendy,haveyou gotten addicted to slapping me? This is the second time.”
Jessica had never dared lay a finger on him If he showed even at race of displeasure she would rush to placate him
But this woman who did she think she was treating him like this Did she think Stanley Hawk was someone she could just hit
whenever she wanted?
Wendy s voice was calm but icy as she met his furious gaze
“Oh, so you do know that fooling around with multiple people at once can lead to something filthy? Then I suppose last night,
when you offered to find me one man or several you conveniently forgot that didn t
you?”
