Stanley couldn t focus on the documents anymore He stood up and walked toward the master bedroom
The room was empty no sign of Wendy
Seeing the bathroom door was closed Stanley stood at the threshold his voice low as he called out Wendy are you almost done
Therewasnoresponse.
No sound came from inside
Stanley raised his hand about to knock but before he could the bathroom door opened on its own
He paused then walked in The large bathtub was empty Wendy was nowhere to be found
Wheredidshego?
Stanley stepped out and just then a maid entered the room Mr Hawk Mrs Hawk has already left
She left Just like that
Stanley glanced at the untouched ice pack She didn t use it
No Mrs Hawk said she didn t need it
On the nightstand there was a note Stanley extended his long fingers and picked it up The note was simple
[Thankyou.]
She left without telling him and just left that little note behind for him
Stanleystoodwithhishands onhiships,abitterchuckleescapinghislips.
After the maid withdrew herself Stanley was left alone in the vast bedroom He lazily leaned against the desk and pulled out a pack of cigarettes He took one and placed it between his lips
His broad shoulders slouched slightly as he lowered his gaze flicking the lighter with a sharp click before the flame ignited the cigarette
He took a deep drag and exhaled slowly The smoke swirled around his face blurring his sharp features He didn t smoke much but today with the frustration building up he needed the nicotine to numb his mind
Not long after Z ayn appeared at the door Mr Hawk Ms Jessica has left About Mr Andrews
Stanley knocked the ash from his cigarette and just then noticed the small bite marks on his arm
ItwasfromWendy.
Furrowing his brows Stanley spoke his voice cold and deliberate If Frank calls again just tell him one thing

Ms Crone where sours on Mr Hawk agreed to let him go right
Harry and Lilian looked toward the door expecting to see Paul with Jessica When they didn t they froze
