Nathan chuckled. \u201cSo, the \u2018help\u2018 Wendy was talking about was Jessica.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley raised an eyebrow. \u201cHelp?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, earlier, you and Wendy were neck and neck,\u201d Nathan continued, \u201cWendy said that Jessica has a weak heart, and even if you\u2019re the best driver, Jessica can\u2019t stand the speed, and she\u2019s bound to help Wendy out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did she really say that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s gaze shifted toward Wendy\u2019s retreating figure, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan nudged him with his shoulder. \u201cShe\u2019s interesting, isn\u2019t she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley raised an eyebrow, but didn\u2019t answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jessica stood there, completely ignored, feeling like she was invisible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy and Nathan entered the Presidential Suite with a breathtaking view of the sea, while Jessica and Stanley headed to the Executive Suite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cecelia and Sienna had also arrived, eager to visit the famous hot springs at the resort later that evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cecelia grabbed Wendy\u2019s arm. \u201cWendy, let\u2019s go buy some bikinis!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They arrived at the bikini section, where an overwhelming array of styles left them both dazzled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cecelia\u2019s excitement was evident. \u201cWendy, with a body like yours, we have to pick the perfect bikini so you can really show off!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No sooner had she finished speaking than Sienna\u2019s voice cut in, dripping with sarcasm. \u201cAn ugly duckling can only ever be an ugly duckling. What makes you think you could compare to a beautiful swan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica and Sienna had also joined them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before long, Stanley and Nathan walked in as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan moved over to Wendy\u2019s side. \u201cWendy, what are you two talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna sneered, \u201cWendy was just picking out a bikini to show off her body in front of all the men.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cecelia opened her mouth to speak, but Wendy held up a hand, stopping her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna wasn\u2019t done. \u201cJessica is the lead ballerina\u2015her body is top\u2013notch. Some people might try to imitate her style, but no matter how hard they try, it\u2019s just laughable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy remembered Jessica saying the same thing about her, accusing her of copying her style.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Wendy wasn\u2019t angry. Instead, she realized Stanley was watching her. His eyes scanned her from top to bottom, and she couldn\u2019t help but look away, wondering if he thought her body wasn\u2019t as impressive as Jessica\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan furrowed his brows and, with irritation, scolded, \u201cSienna, why do you always feel the need to be so rude?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna\u2019s face went pale, her gaze shifting to Nathan. \u201cNathan, I-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy cut in, smiling as she spoke. \u201cIt\u2019s fine, Nathan. Let\u2019s just pick out a bikini, Cecelia.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wendy glanced around, then her eyes settled on a pink bikini. \u201cI\u2019ll take that one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The shopkeeper smiled. \u201cGood choice. That pink bikini is perfect for someone with your fair skin and stunning looks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the shopkeeper took the bikini off the rack, Jessica\u2019s voice suddenly piped up. \u201cI\u2019ll take that one too!\u201d Jessica had also set her sights on the same pink bikini, and how, the two of them were competing for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy glanced at Jessica, who had a smug, dismissive look of her face. For Jessica, showing off her body was her specialty. She might have lost the race, but she was determined to outshine everyone in the hot springs, drawing all the men\u2019s attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wondered if Wendy, the simple country girl, dared to compete with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The shopkeeper hesitated. \u201cBut\u2026 There\u2019s only one left in pink\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, you\u2019re a businessman. It\u2019s simple\u2013whoever pays more gets it,\u201d Jessica said, smiling sweetly as she linked her arm through Stanley\u2019s. She fluttered her eyelashes at him. \u201cStanley, I want that pink bikini. Get it for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
