Stanley narrowed his deep eyes as he looked at Jewel's graceful figure.
She blushed." Stanley..."
Then, she leaned into his arms with her soft body, caressed his chest with her fingers, and slowly went down.
Stanley grabbed her wrist and said in a calm voice, "You were still deeply asleep when I carried you upstairs, and you're awake so soon?"
Her expression froze, she bit her lip and mumbled, "I woke up suddenly, I..."
"You didn't pretend to be asleep, did you?"
He asked in a sharp and merciless way.
Jewel opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Stanley pushed her hand away, got up, and put down the glass in his hand. "It's getting late. Have a good rest."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
Jewel ran over and hugged his waist from behind. "I love you! I've loved you for so many years. Don't you feel anything toward me? I don't believe it!"
Stanley frowned.
"Stanley, I can wait for you. I know you have a woman named Rebecca Lambert in your heart, and I know I'm no match for her, but I..."
"Who told you about Rebecca?"
He interjected her with his cold voice while glaring at her with his sharp and cold black eyes like an unsheathed sword.
His question and glare brought goosebumps to Jewel's scalp. "1-1 heard it from someone. I didn't mean to pry into your past. Don't be angry. Stanley, please don't be angry."
She kept explaining, hoping that he would not be angry at her.
Stanley looked at her with cold eyes, it sent a chill down her spine.
Just as Jewel shuddered in fear, Stanley looked away and turned to leave.
Looking at his back as he left, Jewel's legs went jelly and she sat on the ground with sadness in her eyes.
He only had a place in his heart, and the place was occupied by Rebecca that no one could replace. Even though she had been with him for so many years, she could not make him fall in love with her.
He could give her everything under the sun but not his love.
Under the apartment building.
Inside the Hummer.
Sitting in the back seat, Stanley puffed out the cigarette smoke with a gloomy face. Anthony hesitated for a moment and then said, "Boss, are we going back now?"
He didn't answer.
Anthony could only wait. After a while, Stanley glanced out of the window, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, "Call Troy and ask him where the KTV is, and then we'll go there."
"Okay."
Anthony agreed and immediately followed his order. He took out the phone and called Troy, to which he answered quickly, and got the address very soon.
After putting the phone away, Anthony reported, "Boss, they're at Golden Glory."
Leaning back on the seat, he closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he said, "Go there now."
"Yes."
Anthony started the car immediately.
About twenty minutes later, the Hummer stopped in front of the KTV entrance, but Stanley made no move to get off the car.
"Uh..." Anthony reminded him, "Boss, we're here."
"Okay."
Stanley in the back seat answered.
"What? Get out of the car then!" Anthony dared not say it out loud, so he could only complain to himself.
Instead, he asked, "Are you here to see Troy?"
Finally opening his eyes, he glanced outside gently and said faintly, "Sharon is here."
"Oh, I see!" Anthony came to a realization.
Anthony thought that it would be embarrassing for Stanley to get off the car and pick Sharon up in person, so he suggested, "Do you need me to ask Madam to come out?"
Stanley thought for a moment. She was now with her colleague. If he went to find her, it would definitely cause a stir.
So, he shook his head and said, "Call her."
