Nathan chuckled. “So, the ‘help‘ Wendy was talking about was Jessica.”

Stanley raised an eyebrow. “Help?”

“Well, earlier, you and Wendy were neck and neck,” Nathan continued, “Wendy said that Jessica has a weak heart, and even if you’re the best driver, Jessica can’t stand the speed, and she’s bound to help Wendy out.”

Did she really say that?

Stanley’s gaze shifted toward Wendy’s retreating figure, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.

Nathan nudged him with his shoulder. “She’s interesting, isn’t she?”

Stanley raised an eyebrow, but didn’t answer.

Meanwhile, Jessica stood there, completely ignored, feeling like she was invisible.

Wendy and Nathan entered the Presidential Suite with a breathtaking view of the sea, while Jessica and Stanley headed to the Executive Suite.

Cecelia and Sienna had also arrived, eager to visit the famous hot springs at the resort later that evening.

Cecelia grabbed Wendy’s arm. “Wendy, let’s go buy some bikinis!”

They arrived at the bikini section, where an overwhelming array of styles left them both dazzled.

Cecelia’s excitement was evident. “Wendy, with a body like yours, we have to pick the perfect bikini so you can really show off!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Sienna’s voice cut in, dripping with sarcasm. “An ugly duckling can only ever be an ugly duckling. What makes you think you could compare to a beautiful swan?”

Jessica and Sienna had also joined them.

Before long, Stanley and Nathan walked in as well.

Nathan moved over to Wendy’s side. “Wendy, what are you two talking about?”

Sienna sneered, “Wendy was just picking out a bikini to show off her body in front of all the men.”

Wendy stayed silent.

Cecelia opened her mouth to speak, but Wendy held up a hand, stopping her.

Sienna wasn’t done. “Jessica is the lead ballerina―her body is top–notch. Some people might try to imitate her style, but no matter how hard they try, it’s just laughable.”

Wendy remembered Jessica saying the same thing about her, accusing her of copying her style.

But Wendy wasn’t angry. Instead, she realized Stanley was watching her. His eyes scanned her from top to bottom, and she couldn’t help but look away, wondering if he thought her body wasn’t as impressive as Jessica’s.

Nathan furrowed his brows and, with irritation, scolded, “Sienna, why do you always feel the need to be so rude?”

Sienna’s face went pale, her gaze shifting to Nathan. “Nathan, I-”

Wendy cut in, smiling as she spoke. “It’s fine, Nathan. Let’s just pick out a bikini, Cecelia.”
