At that moment Halsey raised her hand I ll bid twenty thousand
Halsey had bid twenty thousand
Wendy and Cecelia turned to look at her surprised
CeceliasubtlytuggedatHalsey’ssleeve.”Halsey,whyareyou jumpingintothis?”
Halsey,heralmond–shapedeyesstillfocusedonDwightonstage,ignored her.”Twentythousand!Iwanttotouchhim.Justonetouch.”
Dwight s eyes met her s and he could feel a hint of defiance in the way she spoke She was offering twenty thousand to overpower the other women and score the chance to touch him
Wendy s eyes narrowed as she pieced it together She knew who could make Halsey act so out of character only Dwight could do that
The rich women around them blinked in shock before jumping back into the bidding
“Fiftythousand!”
“One hundredthousand!”
Halsey was caught off guard but before she could react the prices were escalating

The host raised his eyebrows That beautiful lady has bi doo thousand Is there anyone willing togo higher
Halsey met Dwight s gaze a sly challenge in her eyes The message was clear he washers tonight
Dwight showed no emotion He simply turned and walked off the stage
“Hey!Don’tleave!”
“Whyisheleaving?”
The rich women were stunned
The host awkwardly cleared his throat Sorry ladies I was just joking As you all know our star dancer doesn t sell himself Not even for a touch
The rich women were visibly disappointed Forget it then
The crowd was so packed that someone bumped into Wendy and Cecelia cried out Wendy
Wendy braced herself for a fall but just then a strong muscular arm reached out and wrapped around her waist steadying her
Wendy looked up and that handsome distinguished face filled her vision
Stanleyhadarrived.
Wendy s voice trembled Mr Hawk what are you doing here
Stanley s expression was cold He didn t like this place This bar was just a playground for wealthy women and he had found them here clearly for the male dancers The whole situation made him so angry that he laughed
Is this fun for you Take my card Who s caught your eye
Wendy was speechless quickly standing up I didn t bid It was Halsey who wanted to
Stanley looked around his eyes scanning the room Halsey had already pushed through the crowd and was heading toward Dwight
Halsey was the darling of the Lincoln family Now that she was at the age where marriage talks were on the table Stanley furrowed his brow Why is she hanging around with these unsavory characters
Wendy watched Stanley noticing how his perfectly tailored black suit looked almost out of place in this flashy decadent place He carried himself with an aura of cold refinement a true representation of high society
He and Dwight were from completely different worlds
