Though they had been married for over three years Stanley had never shared a bedroom with Wendy In fact he hadn t shared abed with any woman making this moment entirely new to him
As he watched her carefully applying skin care moving from one product to the next Stanley found it all rather intriguing
Wendy noticing his gaze turned her head toward him
Stanley didn t have time to look away and their eyes met
Wendy shot him a glare What are you staring at Haven t you ever seen a beautiful woman before
You should spend some time reading to improve yourself No matter how pretty you make yourself you re still just a vase
Stanley replied coolly
Wendy who had just been labeled a vase wanted to curse aloud She vowed that she would blind the arrogant Stanley with her
brilliance.
Without responding she climbed into bed pulling the covers up
At that moment Stanley s phone rang with a soft chime He glanced down and saw that it was a message from Dave at Har field who had created a group chat and added him
Along with him there was another member W the genius freshman who had recently rejected his friend request
Now they were both in the same group chat
Dave welcomed them with a message
[Welcome, two of our greats from Harfield! We’re about to launch a digital game, and before it goes live, we’d love for you two to
test your speed.]
Stanley sent an OK in response
W also sent an “OK.”
Dave sent the game link and both Stanley and W clicked to start diving into a speed based programming challenge
It didn’t take long for Stanley to finish–he completed it in 10.4 seconds.
Stanley glanced at W s black avatar He was curious how long this freshman would take
A few days ago Dave had told him that a genius girl had been challenging his record and getting closer each time At first he
didn’t believe it.
W had rejected his friend request and Stanley hadn t given it much thought after that But here they were unexpectedly brought
together by Dave.

Stanley s sharp eyes flicked He couldn t believe W had completed it in 10 4 seconds too No one had ever been able to match his
speed before but this genius freshman had done it
A smile tugged at the corners of Stanley s lips as his long fingers typed out a response on his phone
Wendy s at on the bed holding her phone She saw that Stanley had finished in 10 4 seconds as well Just then she was tagged in
the group by Stanley
He asked Why didn t you accept my friend request
w
Wendy looked over at him He was engrossed in his phone waiting for W s reply completely unaware of her presence
Wendy with her delicate fingers typed a quick reply
Ding!
Stanley’s phone buzzed with a new message that consisted of just a few simple words. [You’re really annoying.]
Stanley stared at the message for a moment reading it twice before scoffing an enigmatic smile playing on his lips
Annoying How was he annoying
What had he done to get on this genius freshman s bad side
