Stanley slid into the driver s seat his large hand gripping the steering wheel with ease He pressed down on the accelerator and the luxury car smoothly sped down the road

Wendy nodded not objecting
The inn was modest certainly not on par with a five star hotel but it was clean enough
The innkeeper s eyes lit up when she saw Stanley Handsome are you checking in alone
Wendy couldn the lp but feel a bit amused Stanley attracted attention wherever he went His tall frame dressed in a shirt and trousers looked like it was made for designer clothes With the aura of a powerful businessman it wasn t surprising that the innkeeper was left stunned
