Wendy clicked on the message, seeing “Hubby” had sent a smiley emoji.

Wendy froze for a second, then she covered her face and screamed, “Ah!”

Stanley was sitting in the CEO’s office, watching Wendy’s chat window flash repeatedly with “typing…” for several minutes. Eventually, it seemed the person on the other end gave up, and nothing came through as the screen fell silent.

The storm cloud that had been hanging over Stanley’s handsome face cleared, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

Wendy couldn’t stand teasing.

Stanley’s mind drifted to the screenshot he had seen earlier the picture of her delicate, pink neck adorned with the ruby necklace. It was truly beautiful.

Her best friend had called him what again? “Jerk“?

[That jerk? Wendy, you must’ve pleasured him well, huh? He just gave you a ruby necklace as a reward.]

Stanley’s gaze deepened as images of their time in the car flashed through his mind.

His handsome eyelids fluttered a few times, and he had to admit, Wendy had truly surprised him. That was why, during his brief trip abroad, the moment he saw the ruby necklace, he had to buy it for her.

They hadn’t yet taken their relationship to the next level, but Wendy was the first woman who had ever taken care of him in this way. A man always feels differently about his first.

At that moment, the door to the CEO’s office opened, and Jessica walked in. “Stanley, you’re back?”

Stanley replied with a simple hum.

Without hesitation, Jessica sat down on Stanley’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Where’s my gift?”

Stanley paused for a moment. He had bought a gift for Wendy, but nothing for Jessica.

In fact, he hadn’t even thought about getting Jessica a gift this time.

He had never done that before.

Seeing the hopeful look in Jessica’s eyes, Stanley gently replied, “I forgot. Tell me what you want, and I’ll have my secretary buy it for you.”

Jessica was taken aback. “Didn’t you order the Alber ruby and diamond necklace? Wasn’t that for me?”

Jessica was convinced the ruby necklace was meant for her.

Stanley frowned slightly. “I ordered it, but I didn’t buy it.”

Jessica seemed disappointed, but she let it go, quickly shifting her attention. “Anyway, I’ve arranged something fun. I’ve set up a trip with Wendy. In two days, you, me, Wendy, and Nathan will all go to a resort for a spa getaway.”

Stanley’s expression remained unchanged. “Wendy agreed?“”

“Mm–hmm. She’s dating Nathan now. She’s his girlfriend, so it’ll be a double date.”

Wendy was now Nathan’s girlfriend.

The events that had happeited in the car that day? They were just her way of paying him back. She didn’t want to owe him anything.

She told him to stop coming after her.

Was she really planning to be with Nathan?
