Chapter 64 Can You Reconsider Your Decision?

Monica felt her heart thumping at the sight of Stanley. She could feel desire burning inside her and herspirits heightening. “Good morning, Stanley.” Monica positioned herself directly in front of him to stophim from walking away. They gazed at each other for a moment, and Monica realized that it had been awhile since he last looked at her like this.

Upon shifting her gaze to Stanley’s fringe, Monica reached her hand out to touch his hair. He leanedback a little. “There was something in your hair, she uttered after brushing it off and pulling her handaway. “You keep heading out even though things are busy at work today. Did something happen? Doyou need. any help?” she asked with a smile.

“Everything’s fine,” Stanley replied with a rather icy look on his face. He circled past her and continuedwalking forward after that. Monica felt her heart sink a little as she watched him walk off. Then, shehurried after him and followed him all the way into his office. Stanley took a seat in his custom-madeoffice chair before looking up, only to see Monica again.

Monica felt like she could drown in his eyes whenever he looked at her, but she managed to keep hercool then. She gathered the documents in her hands and placed them in front of him before changingthe topic. “The design team came up with 28 samples recently. You can go through them. I’ve alreadydone an initial screening of the samples, and these are the ones that really stood out,” she announcedwith a smile.

However, as she was speaking, she realized that there wasn’t even a slight change in the expressionon Stanley’s handsome face. It was almost as if he hadn’t heard her at all. “Everyone seems to haveput a lot of effort into the design this time,” Monica continued with a smile. A lot of these samples are aresult of late nights in the office. It seems like these creative people get more inspiration once the sunsets…”

Monica’s voice trailed off as she watched Stanley pull his phone out before dialing a number in front ofher. “Hey Taylor, are you home today? I’ll go over to yours after I’m done with work,” he said. The smileon Monica’s face stiffened. It’s almost like there’s no point in all the talking that I just did. He wasn’tlistening to me at all! She stared at him until he ended his call.

“I brought Mervin over to Taylor’s.” Monica said with a smile. “We got some special medication that’llheal the bruises in a few days, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it.” In other words, Monica wastelling Stanley that his time was too precious to be spent visiting Taylor just for Mervin’s sake.

Stanley finally looked at Monica after that. His gaze was stone cold as he stared at the woman. “Whatis it?” She felt rather uneasy having him scrutinize her that way. “You can leave if there’s nothing else.”Stanley opened his laptop and shifted all of his focus to his work after that. Monica felt her heart turningcold. upon hearing his words. Am I just invisible to him? He wasn’t like this in the past. He used to bewilling to communicate with me, at least when I talked about work. Monica took one last glance at thedesign samples on the table. She felt too shameful to stay for much longer, so she shuffled off with adejected look on her face.

That afternoon, Melinda was in an especially good mood after she managed to print the agreement. Ijust have to wait for Stanley to come home and sign this! She decided to personally prepare a fewdishes just to ensure that Stanley would be in a good mood when he signed the papers. “How manytimes are you going to wash these vegetables, Mommy?”

“Three times. It’s just like how I do it back in Sunnyvale. Melinda replied in a gentle voice while tying anapron around her waist. “I have to wash it really thoroughly.”

Pamela tottered over to her mother. “It has been a while since you last cut any meat, right, Mommy?You should be really careful. The knife looks really sharp.”

“I got it, darling. I’ll be really careful. Why don’t you help me wash those mushrooms?” Melinda asked.

“Okay!” Melinda and the kids got busy in the kitchen. A scene like this would typically put a smile onGael’s face. After all, Gael knew that Stanley would be pleased to have a meal prepared by his wifeand children after a long day at work. However, after Gael went through the agreement, he had mixedfeelings. at the sight of Melinda’s actions. This just seems like a manipulative tactic now!

“Mrs. Fox…” Gael eventually made his way to the kitchen. He managed to shoo the children out beforehe continued speaking. “Are you sure you want Mr. Fox to sign that agreement?” he asked.

“Of course.” Melinda continued preparing the food as she responded to him.

“Can you… reconsider your decision, Mrs. Fox?”
