Jessica looped her arm through Stanley’s , leaning into him . “ Stanley , let’s share a room . ”
Nathan wrapped his arm around Wendy’s slender shoulders “ Wendy , let’s stay in the same room , too . ”
Stanley glanced at Wendy, watching as she nodded . “ Alright ”
She agreed to stay in the same room as Nathan .
Stanley’s lips tightened into a thin line .
Wendy noticed Stanley’s gaze . She lifted her eyes and met the cold , dark depths of his stare .
What was he looking at her for ?
The memory of the awkward exchange on WhatsApp the night before suddenly rushed back to her . At the time , she had been scrambling to find an escape , but now , she calmly shifted her gaze away .
The hotel manager smiled warmly . “ Mr. Hawk , Mr. Lowe , here we have the Presidential Oceanic Suite and the Executive Oceanic Suite . How would you like to divide them ? ”
Jessica , already aware that the Presidential Suite had the best view , smiled triumphantly . “ I’ll take the Presidential Suite . Wendy , you and Nathan can have the Executive Suite . ”
With a slow , deliberate smile , Wendy responded , “ Actually , the Executive Suite is perfect for you and Mr. Hawk . Nathan and I will take the Presidential Suite . ”
What ?
Jessica’s expression darkened . Was Wendy trying to take the Presidential Suite from her ?
She clearly didn’t know her place !
“ Stanley , I want the Presidential Suite ! ” Jessica pouted , looking at him with doe eyes .
In truth , Stanley and Nathan didn’t really care which room they stayed in , but the two women were already at odds over the room .
The hotel manager quickly stepped in , eager to resolve the situation . “ How about this ? Let’s have a little competition . Whoever wins gets the Presidential Suite . It’s the fairest way . ”
Jessica raised an eyebrow . “ What kind of competition ? ”
“ There’s a ten – minute drive to the beachfront villa , and we have two sports cars ready . You’ll race there . ”
A race ?
Jessica’s lips curled into a grin . “ Alright , I’m in . ”
Wendy nodded . “ Me too . ”
Jessica looked at Wendy with a confident smirk . “ Wendy , you’re definitely going to lose . Stanley and Nathan used to race all the time , and Nathan can never beat Stanley . ”
Turning to Stanley , Jessica cooed , “ Stanley , you have to win the Presidential Suite for me ! ”
Stanley glanced at Wendy before escorting Jessica to one of the cars .
Nathan smirked . “ Stanley , Jessica , you might be in for a surprise . ”

What did he mean ?
Stanley looked up and saw Nathan toss the keys to Wendy . She slid into the driver’s seat , and Nathan climbed into the passenger seat .
Jessica gasped , stunned . “ Wendy , you’re racing ? ”
It wasn’t Nathan and Stanley racing – it was Wendy and Stanley .
Wendy could race ?
Wendy placed a large pair of black sunglasses over her delicate face , then turned toward Stanley . She smiled slowly , her lips curving into a playful expression . “ Mr. Hawk , may the best man , or woman , win . ”
Stanley’s eyes flickered with surprise and curiosity . He hadn’t expected Wendy to be skilled at racing
How good could she be to challenge him ? ▾
“ Ready , set , go ! ”
As the hotel manager’s voice faded , the two sports cars shot forward like arrows , tearing down the road .
Stanley had been racing for years . He was a champion in every field he entered – good at everything , unbeatable . But as he glanced in the rearview mirror , he saw Wendy’s car matching his pace . No matter how much he tried to pull ahead , she stayed right beside him .
Interesting .
If she wanted to play , he’d humor her .
A grin played on Stanley’s lips , and with a swift turn of the steering wheel , he made his move .
