On the other side Stanley pulled Wendy out of the bar his long strides quick and confident Wendy could barely keep up stumbling behind him
Wendy frowned Stanley let go of me

Wendyraisedaneyebrow.”Didyoufinishdinner already?Wasthelady’sdancenotenoughtokeepyouaround?”
Stanley s sudden appearance at the bar had caught Wendy off guard especially since she had just seen him watching a group of beautiful dancers moments ago

You saw me he asked his voice smooth
Wendy nodded Yeah Your charm seems endless Everywhere there s someone falling for you
Stanley’slipscurvedintoasmall,amused smile.”That’srich,comingfromyou.Didn’tyoualsogotothemalestripperbar?Wasitfun?IfIhadshownupalittlelater,wouldyouhaveswipedmycardtospendsometimewithafewstrippers?”
Wendy just stared at him speechless That sharp tongue of his
Worried about Halsey she took out her phone and dialed her number
But the phone just kept ringing and noone picked up
What could Halsey be doing
Stanley s deep voice cut through the silence Is Halsey with Dwight
Wendy nodded I think so
Stanley stone remained calm with no sign of surprise He simply said Tell Halsey to stay away from him
Wendy glanced at him Don t underestimate him Are you looking down on him He has lots of potential There s a story behind him
Stanley’slipsquirked upslightly.”I’mnotlookingdownonhim.DwightcomesfromadifferentworldthanoursorHalsey’s.They’renotlikelytohaveafuturetogether.Whenyouknowsomethingwon’tworkout,it’sbettertomakesurethere’snofeelingsinvolved.”
Stanley made his analysis and while Wendy agreed with him in away she couldn the lp but think of Dwight as a wild stallion untamed and free Sooner or later he would soarin a domain he excelled in
Wendy lowered Her gaze That maybe true but you can t stop love
At first she had known there was no future for her and Stanley but she still married him
Stanley didn t respond Thirty minutes later the Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up to Royale Residences
The rain was pouring down and without an umbrella Stanley and Wendy ran to the apartment building both getting soaked

Wendy entered the building and scanned her fingerprint to unlock the door Thanks for the ride I ll see you around
She stepped into the apartment ready to close the door behind her
But Stanley tall and imposing blocked the doorway His knee suddenly bent and shoved the door back open before she could close it
Wendy blinked in surprise What are you doing
