Halsey pulled Wendy up from the couch. "Wendy, wake up! What were you doing? You look completely wiped out."
Wendy rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled, "I just want to sleep a little longer."
"Sleep? No way! Get up now. Let's hit the bar."
Halsey dragged Wendy to the bar, and before long, they were inside a luxurious private room with a few familiar faces: Jessica, Benny, Sienna, and some rich heirs.
Benny, lounging on the sofa, spoke up. "Jessica, Stanley's been on a business trip for two days, right? Is he coming back tonight?"
After that night, Stanley left for his trip, and Wendy hadn't seen him since. Naturally, they hadn't been in contact either. According to the unspoken agreement, after that night, they owed each other nothing—but they had one more secret between them.
Jessica smiled slyly. "Yeah, Stanley's coming back tonight."
"The other night, Mr. Hawk took his car on the highway, right? I heard he was speeding like he was in a race, and the camera caught him, so he got three points deducted. Did you know about this?"
Jessica froze, clearly unaware of the incident.
But Wendy, who was standing outside the room, knew exactly what had happened. That night, she and Stanley had been speeding and doing something else on the highway, and they were caught by the electronic cameras. It had resulted in points being deducted and a fine, a perfect example of what not to do.
It was a lesson for everyone to drive carefully.
"What the heck? Why was Stanley speeding like that? Was he in a bad mood or something?" Benny asked, curious.
Wendy didn't want to dwell on it. "Halsey, let's go."
She tried to pull Halsey away, but at that moment, Sienna suddenly shouted from the other side of the room, "Jessica, Stanley bought you a gift while he was abroad!"
Jessica's face lit up with a delighted smile. "What did he get me?"
Sienna replied, "My friend just told me she was at a foreign boutique when Stanley ordered this necklace for you—the ruby and diamond necklace from AIber, the one everyone's been talking about!"
