Addicted to Luring – Mister, Please Behave

On Friday night, Halsey suddenly called Wendy again. She was afraid that Rex, who was next to her, would be suspicious, so she told him it was a call from her mother. She smiled at him and walked to the study to answer the phone.

“Hello?”

As soon as Halsey heard Wendy’s voice, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up, “Wendy, I’ve booked a place to eat. It’s the cafe we used to go to. I’ll wait for you there at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

Wendy frowned, “I’m sorry, I can’t go.”

Halsey replied, “Didn’t you say yes last time?”

“When?” Wendy was confused. Suddenly, she remembered that she seemed to have heard Halsey say something about this when she was in a daze, and she felt a burst of annoyance in her heart.

But on the other hand, maybe he just wanted to treat her to a meal. After all, they were old friends.

“Alright, if that’s the case, tomorrow morning is OK.”

“Mm, Wendy, I’ll wait for you.”

As soon as Wendy hung up the phone, she was shocked by the figure behind her. She quickly hid the phone, “Why…… why didn’t I hear your footsteps?”

Rex narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you mean by tomorrow morning?”

Wendy panicked all of a sudden and pretended to be calm, “Uh…… my mom, she wants me to see her tomorrow morning.”

“Why don’t I go with you?”

Wendy hurriedly waved her hand, “No need, no need. You’re so busy. Ouch, my stomach hurts. I’m going to the bathroom.”

After saying that, Wendy immediately ran away. Rex was such a smart man that she couldn’t afford to let him find out. If he found out, he would eat her alive.

However, Wendy was not a good liar. Furthermore, no one dared to do anything under Rex’s nose. As for why this woman wanted to lie, it was just for a few reasons. She was afraid that he would be suspicious.

Rex would not stop her. Anyway, he had others followed, and he knew where she was, so he wasn’t afraid of her doing anything. He just turned a blind eye to her lie.

Wendy got up early in the morning and did a simple wash-up. She didn’t put on too much makeup and just went out as usual.

Rosaria just happened to be chatting with Rex in the living room. When she saw Wendy, she immediately pulled Rex’s arm, “Wendy, where are you going?”

Rex didn’t move, and his eyes grew cold.

Wendy braced herself and turned her head away with a hollow laugh, “I’m going to the hospital.”

“Oh, the hospital?” Rosaria glanced at Rex, “Rex, aren’t you going to send her off?”

“She has her legs,” Rex said coldly.

When Wendy heard that there was something wrong with his tone, she quickly said, “I need to go. You guys can chat.”

This was the perfect time for Wendy to leave, or Mr. Gavyn would be angry with her.

“Rex, I’m a little sleepy. I’m going back to my room.”

“OK.”

After Rosaria returned to her room, she immediately took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Halsey, informing him that Wendy had left. At the same time, she contacted several media outlets to take photos of the two. No media outlet would let go of such a big piece of news, not to mention the power of the three major families. Once this news came out, it would cause a sensation in Jena City.

Wendy, let’s see what else you could use to compete with me!

After Wendy arrived at the cafe, she searched for a while and finally saw Halsey in the corner, whom she had not seen for a long time. She walked over.

Halsey slowly looked up. When he saw that it was Wendy, his eyes, which were like stars in the night sky, were immediately filled with a smile, “Wendy, you’re here.”

“Right,” Wendy coldly replied as she sat down.

“What would you like to drink?” Halsey asked gallantly.

Wendy only felt uncomfortable and she hoped to end the meal as soon as possible, so she asked, “Why did you ask me out today?”

Halsey looked at Wendy and felt as if a large stone had been placed on his heart. He clenched his fists, “Wendy, how are you doing?”

It was this question again. Did her good life have anything to do with him?

“I’m fine,” Wendy managed a smile.

Halsey suddenly felt a surge of anger at the bottom of his heart. Wendy was not living a happy life, so why did she have to endure it? He suppressed his irrationality and reached out to hold Wendy’s hand, “Wendy……”

It was as if Wendy had been electrocuted. She quickly withdrew her hand and her face immediately darkened, “Mr. Green, I’m married. If there’s nothing important, I’ll take my leave first.”

At least, she did not want to quarrel openly with him and she’d better leave as soon as possible.

Halsey thought that Wendy didn’t want him to worry about her, so he didn’t stop her. He said to her, “Wendy if you have any difficulties, you have to tell me.”

“Thank you, but there’s no need.” After that, Wendy left in a hurry.

It was better to leave this place as soon as possible.

Wendy kept walking out. She accidentally bumped into a reporter, but she didn’t get angry. In addition, she had just been in a bad mood because of Halsey, so she didn’t look happy. She didn’t know that this scene had been captured by several media outlets at the same time. When the matter was suddenly exposed to the public, Wendy felt as disgusted as if she had eaten hundreds of flies.

She was not stupid. It was a plot. Otherwise, why would she happen to be photographed by the media when she met Halsey?

Rex stood on the top floor of his company, his eyes flashing with a cold light. There was no warmth in his deep eyes at all.

“Clare, block the news. Also, investigate thoroughly. Find out who leaked the news and who contacted the media. Several media outlets have appeared at the same time, do they think I’m an idiot?”

Clare did not dare to look at Rex’s eyes and quickly said “Yes”, then he left.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Wendy was frightened by Rex’s phone call for questioning. She came to his office in fear, only to find that he was not there. There were only shattered bottles and pieces of paper all over the place.

This time, the news received a lot of attention. Given Rex’s identity, even if Wendy was framed, his reputation would not be good. He was probably busy dealing with it now.

Wendy opened Twitter and found that she and Halsey were on the trending list. This was the first time she had experienced the feeling of being exposed by someone else. Almost the entire Jena City was shocked, which showed the status of the Gavyn Family.

Netizens expressed their views one after another, and freely vocalized their dislikes of Wendy. Some said that she was improper, some said that she was shameless, and there were even comments spreading false dirt about her and various vague pictures.

In the Internet age, freedom of speech was not the same as saying whatever you want.

Wendy looked at the comments like sharp swords stabbing into her weakest ego.

Could it be that even Rex thought so too?

Anyone in the world could misunderstand her except Rex. She didn’t want him to misunderstand her.

“What are you crying for?”

A low and deep voice interrupted her thoughts. Wendy immediately stood up and looked at Rex with teary eyes, not saying a single word.

“My people don’t need to be judged.”
