Wendy had no idea what she was saying
Stanley looked at the icecream in her hand then back to her delicate angelic face His voice came out rough as he asked in return Some of what
Wendy s mind was in a complete blur She didn t understand what he meant by that
Her heart raced thump thump thump The tension in the air between them was palpable almost like it could be cut with a knife
Wendy decided to put an end to the whole thing Mr Hawk I m going to bed now I ll hang up
She quickly ended the video call
Halsey preparing to shower noticed Wendy s flushed cheeks Wendy why is your face so red
Wendy touched her face absent mindedly Maybe it s just the heat Hurry up and go take your shower Halsey
“Okay,”Halseyreplied,headingofftothe bathroom.
Left alone Wendy s at down looking down at the icecream in her hands Slowly her thoughts began to clear Why had she panicked earlier
This morning she had asked him on the phone if he wanted her to repay him and he had just hung upon her How arrogant How pretentious
So why hadn the acted like that just now Why had he dropped the act
Deep down Wendy hoped he would accept her repayment Then they would be even
She finished writing out the herbal recipe and sent it to Stanley
In her contacts she had saved Stanley as Hubby
Therewasno replyfromhim.
The same cool distant attitude The chat history was all her just her monologue This chat history had been a witness to her laughably humbling marriage

Stanley was sitting in the CEO s office when he received the herbal recipe from Wendy He didn t reply intending to continue with his paperwork
However all he could think about was the way Wendy had looked while eating her icecream The sight of her little red tongue teasing out from her mouth playful and forbidden
And then she had asked whether he wanted some
Wanted some of what Was she offering him icecream Or something else
Stanley leaned back heavily in his chair his body stretching out lazily as he loosened his tie with one hand trying to cool off
He picked up his phone and opened Wendy s contact heading straight for her updates

Wendy s phone buzzed with his response Two simple authoritative words Delete it
He was telling her to delete the update

She deleted it after all only he could see it It was meant for him and only him
Then she opened the chat with Hubby and typed out a message
[Doyouwantit?]
Stanley stared at the text on his screen She was asking him if he wanted it
Itwasaboldtest.
A provocative invitation
Asking him simply if he wanted it
