Chapter 180
What order?
Wendy closed the door behind her and stared down at the bed. There were condoms and lingerie scattered across the sheets.
She froze. She hadn’t ordered these things!
Could it be a mistake by the room service?
Just then, Nathan came out of the bathroom, his hair still damp. He paused when he saw the items. “Wendy, what’s this?”
Wendy immediately realized that Nathan hadn’t ordered them either. So how did these things end up here?
Ding–dong!
The doorbell rang again.
“I’ll get it,” Nathan said, heading toward the door.
When he opened it, Stanley and Jessica stood in the doorway.
Wendy’s long eyelashes fluttered. Weren’t they staying in the Executive Suite next door?
“Stanley, what are you doing here?” Nathan asked in surprise.
Stanley’s voice was deep and smooth. “Our room’s security system malfunctioned, and we need to have it tested. So, we’ll be staying here with you tonight.”
Wendy froze. So, Stanley and Jessica were going to stay with them tonight? In their room?
Four people, in one room.
It wasn’t that the Presidential Suite couldn’t accommodate four, but it felt awkward.
Jessica didn’t want to stay, but just earlier, the resort manager had come to their room, explaining that there was an issue with the Executive Suite. The manager also said that all rooms were fully booked, so they had no choice but to squeeze into the Presidential Suite for the night.
Jessica couldn’t believe how perfectly timed the situation was.
Stanley looked at Nathan. “What’s the matter? Do you not want us here?”
Nathan moved aside, laughing. “You’re always welcome.”
Stanley and Jessica stepped inside.
Wendy hadn’t expected them to show up so suddenly. The condoms and lingerie were still scattered across the bed. Panicked, she quickly grabbed them and hid them behind her back.
But Stanley’s gaze didn’t miss a thing. His eyes lingered on her before they shifted to her hands, now hidden behind her back.
“Wendy, we’ll be disturbing you and Nathan tonight,” Jessica said, her words laden with meaning.
What could Wendy say? Feeling incredibly uncomfortable with her hands still hidden behind her back, she forced a smile. “It’s fine. I’ll just go take a shower.”

Wendy stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
The sound of rushing water echoed through the room.
She stood at the sink, her slender fingers hesitating over the lingerie. The design was bold and suggestive–how on earth was she supposed to wear something like that?
As she tried to figure it out, the bathroom door suddenly creaked open.
Wendy looked up, her reflection in the mirror revealing a handsome, imposing face.
Stanley.
While she was showering, Stanley had snuck into the bathroom.
And Jessica and Nathan were still outside.
Wendy’s clear eyes widened in shock, and she quickly turned around to face him. “Who said you could come in? Are you crazy? Get out, now!”
