Amanda said on purpose, “I bought it and haven’t bothered to eat it myself. Are you afraid that I might poison it and so you refuse to take it?”
Stanford took it, “You’re being so generous. How could I refuse.”
The two knew each other well, yet neither of them revealed it.
So, the two were just testing each other, with one trying to get her back and the other wanting to reclaim the hurt she had suffered.
“Use this.” Amanda thoughtfully handed over a spoon and said, “Since you know I’m good to you, then you must finish it.”
Stanford asked, “If I finish it, can I woo you?”
Amanda was speechless.
She refused decisively, “You’re not my type.”
“What type do you like?”
Amanda looked him up and down, then described in Casimir’s likeness, “Just like my boyfriend, young, gentle, not too tall. You would be too tall for me. Also, I don’t like married people. I have a fetish for cleanliness.”
Stanford was voiceless.
He was lost for words at this moment.
“I know you are…”
“Mr. James.” Amanda interrupted what he was going to say.
She didn’t want to break this to him. She wouldn’t have the peace of mind at this moment if using Amanda’s identity to face him.
She would only go ballistic questioning him.
She didn’t want that.
It wasn’t that she still had fantasies, but, instead, she didn’t want to be angry anymore.
“Come on, eat the cake.” She smiled.
Stanford pursed his lips, wondering how he had somehow become the passive one when before, he obviously had the initiative.
If this was her punishment to him, then he would readily accept it.
He finished the whole cake under Amanda’s watchful eyes. He began to have an allergic reaction halfway through his meal. His body was itching, and his heart was beating too fast. However, he tried desperately to restrain his discomfort.
“Mr. James, are you feeling not well?” Even if Stanford was strongly restraining it, his face was still getting ugly, not to mention Amanda, who knew his situation.
She asked on purpose.
Amanda said with concern, “I’ll get you a room for you to rest.”
She stood up after saying that.
Stanford wanted to refuse but thought she was just caring for him, so he didn’t call her back.
However, he was so uncomfortable at the moment. The clothes on his body were just so annoying that he wanted to rip them all off and scratch his body hard. His whole body was so itchy.
Soon, Amanda got the room and came to help him, “Let me help you to rest.”
Stanford grabbed her wrist, “I think your place is just fine.”
“My place is too messy. It’s better to rest next door.” Amanda held him up.
At this moment, Stanford didn’t notice that Amanda had other thoughts at all. He felt that she was caring for him and was happy inside, and even his itch felt better now.
The room was just next door, and they arrived shortly. Amanda helped him to the bed, “I think you are very uncomfortable, so I ask two people to come over to take care of you.”
“No thanks…”
“Why not? I see that you are suffering and I have called them for you.” Amanda smiled.
Stanford felt something wrong seeing her smile.
However, the next second, his sense of something wrong came true as two sexy, alluring looking women came in at the door.
He turned gloomy instantly, “What are you doing?”
