Halsey pulled Wendy up from the couch. \u201cWendy, wake up What were you doing? You look completely wiped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled, \u201cI just want sleep a little longer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSleep? No way! Get up now. Let\u2019s hit the bar.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny, lounging on the sofa, spoke up. \u201cJessica, Stanley\u2019s been on a business trip for two days, right? Is he coming back tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that night, Stanley left for his trip, and Wendy hadn\u2019t seen him since. Naturally, they hadn\u2019t 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica smiled slyly. \u201cYeah, Stanley\u2019s coming back tonight.\u201c\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica froze, clearly unaware of the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a lesson for everyone to drive carefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the heck? Why was Stanley speeding like that? Was he in a bad mood or something?\u201d Benny asked, curious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy didn\u2019t want to dwell on it. \u201cHalsey, let\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to pull Halsey away, but at that moment, Sienna suddenly shouted from the other side of the room, \u201d Jessica, Stanley bought you a gift while he was abroad!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s face lit up with a delighted smile. \u201cWhat did he get me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna replied, \u201cMy friend just told me she was at a foreign boutique when Stanley ordered this necklace for you- the ruby and diamond necklace from Alber, the one everyone\u2019s been talking about!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s eyes sparkled. She had been eyeing that ruby and diamond necklace for ages. She couldn\u2019t believe Stanley had actually bought it for her. It was truly a huge surprise!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny and the other rich heirs chuckled. \u201cJessica, no doubt Stanley bought it for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk really is romantic, isn\u2019t he? Even when he\u2019s abroad, he still remembers to bring you a gift.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJessica, when Stanley gives you that ruby necklace, you\u2019ve got to show it to me! I haven\u2019t seen anyone else get one of those yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s smile grew brighter. \u201cYou guys are really doubling down on teasing me when Stanley isn\u2019t around, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy tugged at Halsey again, wanting to leave, but Halsey muttered angrily, \u201cMr. Hawk really pampers Jessica. He buys her a ruby necklace when he\u2019s abroad. Has he forgotten who\u2019s really Mrs. Hawk?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mention of \u201cMrs. Hawk\u201d struck Wendy like a dagger. She smiled bitterly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stanley had never given her a gift. He had bought Jessica a bag before, and Wendy had thought it was for her. She even complimented the bag, saying how pretty it was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This made Stanley think she liked bags, and the whole thing had turned into a joke about him advising Nathan to give her one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ding!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her phone vibrated. A message had come through on WhatsApp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy unlocked her phone; to her surprise, it was from Stanley, who had been away on his business trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had sent her a photo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s heart skipped a beat. It was a picture of the ruby and diamond necklace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[You like it?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The message was brief, as always\u2013Stanley\u2019s typical style, asking if she liked it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
