“Mr. Hawk, I need to talk to you about-
“I’m busy,” he coldly cut her off. “If you have something to discuss, contact my secretary and make an appointment.”
With that, he hung up without another word.
The line went dead with a loud, hollow beep.
Wendy’s heart sank, but for Cecelia, she had no choice but to approach Stanley.
“Mr. Chapman, wait for my message,” she said quietly.

Wendy arrived at the Imperial Garden, where the maid opened the door with a polite greeting. “Mrs. Hawk.”
“Is Stanley here? Please let him know I’m here to see him,” Wendy said, keeping her voice steady.
“Of course. Please wait a moment.”
Wendy stood outside, waiting. It wasn’t long before the maid returned. “Mr. Hawk is in the study, but he said he doesn’t want to see you.”
He didn’t want to see her.
Wendy didn’t move. “Then I’ll wait here until he’s ready to see me.”
Just then, a luxury MPV pulled up and Luna stepped out, her crystal heels clicking on the pavement.
Luna glanced over at Wendy with a mocking smile. “You came to see Mr. Hawk, huh? Well, he’s not going to see you. He doesn’t have feelings for you. You really need to stop chasing after him like this. It’s pointless.”
With a final sneer, Luna strutted inside, her heels clicking louder with every step.
Wendy’s small hands clenched into tight fists at her sides.
Inside the study, Stanley sat behind his desk, reading through documents. His face, cold and regal, betrayed his irritation at the thought of Wendy.
He had waited for her outside the clerk’s office for what felt like an eternity, only for her to stand him up. She had promised to come, but never showed up. Was she playing with him?
Had he really been reduced to this, toyed around by a woman?
Now, she had the audacity to come here. Well, he didn’t want to see her.
The door to the study opened. Luna entered, a soft smile on her lips.
“Mr. Hawk,” she greeted him sweetly.
Stanley barely glanced up, his eyes cool and sharp. “Why are you here? Get out.”
Luna looked at him, her voice soft as she approached him. “Mr. Hawk, I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me lately. I came to ask if you’d like to join me for a drink at the bar. If it’s a bad time, I can leave, but I couldn’t help noticing Wendy downstairs when I arrived…”
Stanley suddenly changed his mind. “Come back.”

Luna stopped in her tracks,
Stanley looked at her with a cool expression. “Let’s go to the bar now.”
Luna’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes gleaming.
Wendy had been waiting outside for what felt like forever. Spoon, the villa gates opened, and Stanley emerged, Luna by his side.
Wendy quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Hawk, please give me five minutes. I need to talk to you.”
Stanley’s cold gaze settled on Wendy’s beautiful face. “I don’t have time right now.”
Luna stepped closer, her voice laced with mock sympathy.Wendy, I’m sorry, but Mr. Hawk is taking me out. We’ll be going now.”
Luna climbed into Stanley’s Rolls Royce Phantom, and Stanley slammed his foot on the gas, speeding off and leaving Wendy standing there, staring at the fading taillights.
At the luxurious booth in the 1996 Bar, Benny watched with some surprise as Stanley entered, with Luna in tow. “Isn’t that Luna Fisher, the rising star from the entertainment world? Why’d you bring her here?” Benny asked, raising an eyebrow.
Benny knew the entertainment industry well, having dated both rising stars and younger models.
Stanley didn’t answer. His dark shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, revealing the refined lines of his neck. He sat down in the center seat of the booth and downed a whole bottle.
He reached for another bottle of liquor, but Luna’s delicate hand pressed gently on his, stopping him. Her soft fingers rested on his knuckles, her voice playful yet firm.
“Mr. Hawk, don’t drink anymore.”
