Chapter 70 Stanley Is Doing It on Purpose!
Samuel couldn’t help the disappointment surging within him. “All right. I understand”
As the call ended, Stanley helped the children get dressed and took them downstairs.
“Daddy, did Mommy tell you she’s going to Sunnyvale?”
He chose to lie to them. “She did, but I didn’t hear her. Come on. Let’s have breakfast.”
He stayed in the backseat of his Lamborghini on the way to the office. The driver was adept at controlling the speed.
A pot of earl grey on the portable tea table was giving off a fragrance. Classical music was playing in the
car.
Setting his chin on his palm, Stanley watched the scenery outside the car. He tried to focus on the landscape, but his thoughts kept wandering to a certain woman.
After leaving Taylor’s place last night, he came to realize that he had feelings for her.
And the feelings only grew since he woke up this morning.
Her absence left a void in his heart.
He was supposed to be alert around her, but the feelings were replaced by pure admiration when he learned another of her identities, Chloe Blackwood, the Herbs Expert.
Stanley snapped out of his thoughts when he got out of the car.
He found Monica waiting in front of his table when he walked into the president’s office. She looked like, she had been there for a while and was expecting his arrival.
She wore trendy clothes to the office. A smile stretched across her face at his arrival. “Good morning, Mr.” Fox.”
Stanley walked toward the table without a change in his expression.novelxo.com fast update
Then, he noticed a gift box with her name signed on it on his table. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
The idea of what was under the lid immediately occurred to him.
His cold face didn’t light up with surprise as she expected. Instead, a resisting frown pulled at the corners of his mouth.
“I designed a suit for you when I was abroad. I asked them to sew it as soon as possible when I came back.” A sweet smile was plastered on her face as she added, “I used to give you a suit every year and you liked them as well. I remember you told me my design suits your taste the most. Do you know how much your -word means to me?”
“Don’t bother from now on. Just focus on your work,” he answered in a flat tone.
Monica watched his handsome face with an intense gaze. “I don’t agree with you on that. I’m always dedicated to my work even before you said this.”
Indeed, her work performance was always excellent and Stanley couldn’t deny it.
“Don’t worry. I get what you mean.” She was smiling the whole time. Being able to watch him at a close distance put her in a good mood. “Try it. I hope you like it.”
After that, she began to walk away.
She didn’t want to hear him say no to her.
Max came in after Monica left. Stanley walked over to him and set the gift box on his table. “You can have
it.”
Max noticed the logo on the gift box, so he shot Stanley a hesitant look.
“We’re about the same size,” Stanley continued. “You won’t have a problem wearing it.”
“All right,” Max belatedly replied. As Stanley’s assistant, he instantly got what the other man meant.
The sight of Max showing up at the design department in the suit Monica specially designed for Stanley hurt her as if she had been stabbed in the heart. Her good mood vanished within an instant.
Stanley is doing it on purpose!
Even more, Max came to her table with a document for her to sign.
She was boiling in anger, but she couldn’t take it out on Max.
Meanwhile, Stanley hadn’t heard from Melinda for a while. I wonder what she is doing at the moment.
After signing the agreement last night, he made a call to notify his men to stop following her. However, his anxiety grew as he sat in his office. His thoughts wouldn’t stop wandering to her. Meanwhile, in Sunnyvale, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers filled the space.
The fluffy clouds floated in the blue sky. The colorful sunflowers were blooming on the roadside and the breeze sent a sweet aroma down the road.
Melinda inhaled deeply. Freedom, here I come! Even the air tastes sweet!
The car stopped in front of the wooden house. Jaxon rushed out of the house with a grin on his face to greet her.
As soon as she got out of the car, he wrapped her in a bear hug. “You’re back, Ms. Melinda!”
He picked her up and twirled her around in excitement. “Why didn’t you call? I could’ve made preparations!”
