Wendy returned to her apartment. Just as she was about to settle in, her phone rang.
It was a call from Samuel.
Wendy pressed the button to answer. “Hey, Samuel.”
“Wendy, you’re awake! How was it, sleeping at Mr. Hawk’s last night?” Samuel teased.
Wendy furrowed her brows. “How did I end up sleeping at Us place?”
“He carried you back last night. He just took you straight to his place. I tried to take you, but he wouldn’t give you to me. I don’t think I would’ve won if we really got into a figh
Wendy was dumbfounded.
It seemed she had fallen asleep in Stanley’s car, and he had carried her back to his apartment.
But why had he taken her to his place?
“Is there something new going on between you two?” Samuel asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
We’re divorced. Nothing like that will happen again,” Wendy replied firmly.
She and Stanley were no longer together, and she would keep her distance from him from now on.
“Alright, then. How about we meet tonight at Velvet Vogue? I invited Dr. Binder for dinner. Your surprise visit to NovaHealth last night really startled him.”
Wendy nodded. “Okay, I’ll see you tonight.”
In the CEO’s office at Hawk Group, Stanley sat behind his desk, while Zayn stood by, delivering his report. “Mr. Hawk, I’ve had people look into it, but the cave from back then was well–hidden, so we didn’t find any leads. The only way we’ll know for sure who saved you that night is by focusing on Ms. Wendy and Ms. Jessica.”
Stanley wasn’t surprised. If there had been anything to find, he would have uncovered it years ago. That was why he had always believed Jessica’s version of the story without question.
But now, things were different.
Now, he had doubts.
Stanley stood up, his tall frame cutting a striking figure by the floor–to–ceiling windows. “Call Jessica. Tell her to meet me at Velvet Vogue tonight. I’ll be buying her dinner.
Zayn nodded. “Good idea. Ms. Jessica has been calling a lot lately. If she knows you want to have dinner with her tonight, she’ll be thrilled.”
Stanley’s gaze grew dark, his tone cold. “We’re not going to tip our hand yet. I want to see who’s lying. Whoever is deceiving me will regret it.”
Zayn hesitated before asking, “Who do you hope that girl from back then is Ms. Wendy or Ms. Jessica?”
Stanley’s thoughts paused. Who did he hope it was?
He didn’t know.

Right now, all he wanted was to uncover the truth.

That evening, Jessica was dressed to the nines. With her makeup flawlessly done and a white evening gown hugging her figure, she arrived at the restaurant.
She was absolutely delighted. Stanley inviting her to dinner was a rare treat–he had been distant lately, and this was the first time in a long while that he had taken the initiative,
Stanley and Jessica were seated at a window–side table at Velvet Vogue. The waiter pulled out their chairs, and they sat down across from each other.
Jessica smiled brightly at Stanley. “What made you decide to spend time with me tonight?”
Stanley’s expression softened. “A lot has happened recently, I realized I’ve neglected how you’ve been feeling, so I wanted to spend some time with you tonight.”
Stanley had always katown how to use his charm, and any woman would fall for his gentle attention. Jessica, especially, was no exception.
Her worries melted away, and she immediately reached for Stanley’s hand resting on the table.
Just hearing you say that means everything. I thought you didn’t love me anymore.”
Stanley took her hand in his. “How could I not?”
