But Wendy wasn t thinking about his departure What bothered her more was what he had done how could he just toss that ruby necklace into the trash like it was nothing
That ruby was worth over a million
Eventhough he was rich he shouldn t just throwaway something so expensive

Stanley had always had impeccable taste After all he was born into a family of privilege a high born heir with a refined sense of style Anything he chose would undoubtedly be exceptional
Though Wendy was wealthy herself she rarely indulged in things like this This was also the first time Stanley had given her a gift
Shepickeduptherubynecklaceandfastenedit aroundherneck.
Her skin was fair and smooth with a neck as graceful as aswan s and below it delicate collarbones The ruby shimmered against her skin making her look both ethereal and glamorous
Wendy snapped a quick photo of herself with her phone sending it to her best friend Cecelia
Cecelia responded with an excited squeal Ahh it s so beautiful I love it I love it
WendytextedherbackonWhatsApp.[It’s fromMr. Hawk.]
Cecelia s playful tone disappeared That jerk Wendy you must ve pleasured him well huh He just gave you a ruby necklace as a reward
Wendy s fair cheeks flushed with a hint of pink Deep down she already knew it was indeed a reward
He knew how to spoil his woman how to be tender
Wendy asked Should I throw it back in the trash
Cecelia replied You sure you want to part with it
Wendy wrote back Not really
This ruby necklace was way too expensive
[Thenkeepit.]
[Keepit?]
The question is do you like it
Wendy glanced at herself in the mirror The ruby necklace really did suit her Ido

Wendy was about to put her phone down when it slipped out of her hand and almost hit the floor She scrambled to catch it but in the process the phone made a sharp snapping sound She had accidentally taken a screenshot and worse yet she mistakenly sent it to someone
Whodidshesenditto?
“Hubby”?
She had just sent a screenshot of her conversation with Cecelia to Stanley
Bloodyhell!
Wendy immediately retracted the message It s fine it s fine he won t see it she consoled herself
Back at Hawk Group Stanley had returned to his office sitting in the chair with his lips pressed together in frustration
During his business trip abroad he had seen the ruby in a magazine and immediately thought it would be perfect for Wendy So he had Z ayn order it right away
As soon as his plane landed he personally delivered it to her
But she had actually rejected it telling him not to bother her again
Stanley’sfacewasdark,hismoodsour.Justthen,anotification pingedonhisphone.
It was a What s App message He clicked on it and saw Wendy s screenshot
You sure you want to part with it
[Notreally.]
The question is do you like it
[Ido.]
He thinks the ruby necklace is in the trash so he won t know I picked it up and put it on
Right after he finished reading the screenshot was quickly deleted
Shehadretractedit.
Stanley slips curled into a faint almost amused smile He clicked on a ne moji and sent it back to her
On the other side Wendy was still trying to convince herself that he hadn t seen it After all the busy CEO couldn t possibly check his What s App right away
She could just pretend nothing had happened
But the next second a reply came in from Hubby
