Cecelia Her best friend
Stanley hadn t been paying attention to Luna s fall or any of the drama surrounding it so he didn t know it was tied to Cecelia
Z ayn had called him about the incident but he had left the matter to Luna
So Wendy had come here for her friend
Stanley turned a cold smirk curling a this lips Are you asking me for a favor
Wendy flinched her heart heavy She had to swallow her pride for Cecelia Yes Iam
Then you need to show some sincerity Have you thought about what you re willing to offer in exchange
His blunt words made Wendy stiffen
Stanley s gaze roamed over her graceful figure taking in every inch Histone shifted to one of playful amusement You haven t even thought about it huh Comeback when you ve figured out what you re willing to offer
Without waiting for a response he turned to leave
But Wendy reached out grabbing the sleeve of his shirt Wait
Stanley paused turning back toward her Wendy I mno charity Why should Igo easy on your friend Honestly there s nothing about you I particularly want except
His gaze lingered on her body Except for this
That night at the hospital she had refused him

Wendy curled her fingers into a fist She didn t understand him She had already been with him once but he had found her too dull too uninteresting After that he hadn t wanted anything more
So why was he making these demands now
