Beck Sanders frowned, wondering why on earth she didn't get that her attitude was pushing him away. Couldn't she see that chasing after a measly 1% stake in the Sanders empire was a lost cause?
Leaning back with a casual air, Stella Sanders propped her head on her hand. "Hey Beck, let me buy you a drink."
Beck offered a half-smile, eyeing the five bottles she'd just opened, playing the generous host to a bunch of happy suckers.
"Your drinks are a bit too rich for my blood."
But Stella waved over the bartender, ordering up the priciest cocktail on the menu.
"For anyone else, it's cash upfront, but for you, Beck, it's on the house."
Beck raised an eyebrow, surprised that Stella was actually willing to loosen the purse strings.
After taking a sip, he noticed Stella getting up, slightly tipsy.
"Beck, I'll be right back, just heading to the restroom."
Beck couldn't care less, pulling out his phone to check his messages.
Ten minutes later, he found himself surrounded by a group of angry men.
"It's him! He's got his girlfriend working as a shill!"
"Looks like a decent guy, but using Elle like that... And she’s totally smitten with him."
"Elle falling for a guy like that, now that's a joke. Pay up!"
"We don't want to be your fools. Give us back the thousands we spent on those drinks."
"Damn, I also dropped thousands. Elle really played us, funding her Rocky-faced boyfriend with our money?"
Beck looked up, recognizing the man who'd been bragging about buying rounds earlier, his forehead creasing with worry.
"Are you talking to me?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
