Wendy tightened her grip on her phone Just then Stanley s voice came from behind her Were you talking to George
She turned around seeing Stanley had returned to the room
His gaze landed on the box in her hand His tall figure casta shadow as he stood before her Grandma mentioned that he sent you a photo What photo is it
Wendy hesitated Should she tell him about George What would his reaction be if she did
She finally said This photo is

Wendy furrowed her brow Nathan I can t really talk right now
I m right outside the Hawk family mansion If you don t come out I m coming in Nathan urged
Wendy quickly relented Don t come in I ll come outside
Stanley watched her closely Was that Nathan
Wendy nodded Yes I m stepping out for a moment I ll talk to you about the photo when I get back
Outside the mansion Wendy spotted Nathan s flashy red sportscar He stepped out of the car his handsome figure looking as confident as ever He held a gift bag in his hand
Wendy this is a gift for you Nathan said as he extended the bag to her
Wendydidn’ttakeit.”Nathan,what isthis?”
Nathan pulled out a bag from inside the gift bag It s the latest Chanel bag Do you like it
Wendy glanced at it Nathan thankyou but I don t like it I won t accept this gift
You don t like it But Stanley said you liked bags Nathan said clearly puzzled
Wendy froze He said that
Yes Stanley told me today that you once said you thought a Chanel bag was beautiful

It turned out it was all just her own misguided assumption She hadn t liked the bag she had only liked it because she thought it was from him He had never given her a gift

Now Stanley thought she liked Chanel bags It was so ironic
Nathandidn’tseemtonoticeanythingwasoff.”Today,IwenttoStanley’sofficetoaskhimforadvice towinyouover.Hetoldmeyoulikebags,soIimmediatelyhadoneboughtforyou.Ifyoudon’tlikebags,thentellmewhatyoureallylike.”
Wendy was stunned Stanley had taught Nathan how to win her over
Her heart sank with bitterness Nathan I don t like anything I could have all these things if I wanted so you don t need to buy me anything Don t waste anymore time on me
With that Wendy turned and walked away
Back in her bedroom Stanley was standing tallon the balcony his figure silhouetted against the fading light He turned around as he heard her approach
You didn t like the bag Nathan bought for you
