“Amy, do you know what I’m telling you these?” Stanford tested her.
Amanda was stunned and then snapped to her senses, “Sorry, you must be mistaken. I’m Amanda and
not Amy.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I mistook Ms. Flores as my ex-wife. You look so much like her.” Stanford did not hide
and looked at her in detail and said, “I thought of her when I saw you.”
Amanda turned away and said, “Mr. James, you’ve had a little too much.”
He stood up and walked towards the window and stared into the darkness, “We had an open
relationship. She loved me very much and gave herself to me over here…”
Amanda bit her lips to remain in control of herself and not rush to ask him why did he hurt her since he
knew that she loved him. She managed to control herself.
“Mr. James, are you done?”
“She liked to hug me from behind and kiss my cheeks and remain in my embrace. She would tell me
how much she loved me.” Suddenly he turned around and said, “Would a woman stop loving a man
she once loved deeply?”
Amanda tightly pursed her lips. She reason why she liked to hug him from behind was that she noticed
that whenever he had something troubling him, he would stand alone and stare into the distance. She
wanted to surprise him, give him warmth, comfort him. So each time she would creep up behind him
and hug him tightly and ask him coyly, “Guess who?”
However, each time he would not play along and expose her. She would not mind and said,
“Congratulations, I’ll give you a kiss as a reward for guessing correctly.”
She knew that Stanford was not doted upon by his parents. That was why she kept telling him how
much she loved him to show him that there was someone who loved him even if his parents do not.
Perhaps it was Stanford who kept it from her, she did not know that his mother was a stepmother.
At that time, she endeavoured to give him a warm family and let him feel what it was like to have a
happy and loving family. In the end, it was he who destroyed all the opportunities.
“If Mr. James did not disappoint her, then she should be happy wherever she was. However, If Mr.
James betrayed her, then she would definitely be cursing you to hell.”
Stanford grabbed his glass tightly and then asked, “Would she really curse me to hell?”
Amanda laughed, “You seem to love her very much so you must not have hurt her. That meant that she
wouldn’t hate you.”
She seemed to have touched a nerve and caused Stanford’s expression to change for the worse.
He did hurt her very deeply. Did she hate him?
Amanda looked at the time and said, “Mr. James, it’s getting late. Shall we continue with our business
discussion?”
Stanford held onto the glass tightly and said, “Ms. Flores, I’m not satisfied with your business plan.”
Amanda stood up and asked, “Please elaborate, Mr. James.”
“The first quotation was too high.” Stanford picked an excuse. The business plan was close to perfect
however, that was by itself abnormal. He simply picked a problem with the plan so that he could spend
more time with her.
“Mr. James, please don’t make me doubt your professionalism. The first quotation was already the
cheapest. Now you’re telling me that it’s too high?”
“You may doubt me and similarly I can suspect you.” His words were loaded.
“What do you suspect me of?” Amanda was unsettled. She kept feeling that he had a motive but could
not figure what it was.
Stanford walked towards her which caused Amanda to take a couple of steps backwards to maintain
their distance. He caught her wrist and she was firmly pulled towards him.
“Ah!” Amanda fell into his embrace and she yelled, “What the hell are you doing?”
Stanford grinned, “I can approve your business plan but I have a condition.”
“What condition?”
Stanford looked at her and softly said, “Be my girlfriend.”
Amanda clenched her fists when she thought about how heartless this man was. She had just ‘died’ for
a year and he always had Lindsay by his side. Now that Lindsay was imprisoned, he was so quick to
find another woman?
“I already have a boyfriend. I request Mr. James to respect my privacy.” She struggled but the more she
struggled, the more Stanford he held onto her waist and embraced her.
“Release me!” Amanda yelled.
Stanford held tightly onto her and did not release his grip regardless of how she struggled, “Ms. Flores,
why are you so agitated. Do you want something to occur between us?”
Amanda was speechless.
“You, you scoundrel! My boyfriend would beat you up when he finds out about this!”
“Oh? Does he really love you that much?”
“Yes! He does!”
“Then do you love him?” Stanford whispered into her ear and intentionally let his warm breath caress
her skin. He knew that that area was her erotic zone. Each time he did that in the past she would blush
and become turned on.
Even when they were together every day as husband and wife, she would still be aroused by that
action.
“Hmm… so you are a cradle snatcher. As far as I know, aren’t you much older than your boyfriend?”
