Chapter 7 His Friend Request
Jennifer curved her rosy lips, her heart fluttering. She leaned against Wayne’s embrace softly and looked up at him, saying coquettishly, “I knew it. You would never abandon me.

As the richest man in Marinburg, Wayne was handsome, noble, and powerful enough to make everything happen as long as he wanted to. He was everything she had ever ached for.
But that accident three years ago had put him in a vegetative state, and even the doctors said he’d never wake up again. Of course, she wouldn’t waste the prime of her life on him.
So, she fled, and Danica married him instead.
To her surprise, Wayne woke up within just three years.
Up until now, she still didn’t know how.
Maybe it was a miracle–like the doctors said.
She came back.
She knew Wayne loved her and would surely take her back in.
Looking at her pretty face, Wayne said, “If it weren’t for what happened back then… do you think I’d spoil you like this?”
At the mention of the past, she froze slightly, a trace of guilt flashing across her eyes.
She changed the subject. “Have you slept with Danica?”

His gaze fixed on her face. “What do you think?”
She knew exactly that he had never slept with Danica.
Knowing this, he threw the question back.
Jennifer loved this side of him. He, a seasoned man, could be mischievous if he wanted to, and a few words from him were already enough to stain her cheeks crimson.
He was such a walking contradiction of allure and aloofness. She couldn’t help but have the urge to strip him just to see the real him beneath the facade.
She rolled over, sat on his lap boldly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, “You wanna sleep with me?”
Being Wayne’s private secretary for years, Todd was sensible enough to raise the partition in time.
Wayne looked at Jennifer without saying anything.
She was wearing a red strap dress. Because of her position, its hem rode up, revealing her legs.
Right now, the most slender, beautiful pair of legs in Marinburg were wrapped around Wayne’s black suit pants, and the scene was simply tantalizing.
She exerted more force, tightening her thighs around his lean waist while saying, “Answer me. Do you wanna sleep with me?”
As long as he said yes, he could have her right now.
Of course, Wayne knew what she meant.
Yet, somehow, Danica’s pair of legs emerged in his mind.

Danica’s legs were curvaceous and nicely toned.
She had asked him, “Mr. Hamilton, whose legs do you like better? Mine or Jennifer’s?”
Honestly, Wayne didn’t know why he thought of Danica now of all times.
Back in the bar, she lifted her foot and brushed her toes against his leg. The crystal chains on her stiletto cast fractured light as she asked him whether Jennifer had ever wrapped her legs around his waist.
He pulled Jennifer’s hands away from his neck. “I’m not divorced yet.”
After a few seconds of silence, Jennifer asked, “So?”
“I have no interest in infidelity,” he said flatly.
Jennifer didn’t say anything.
He put an end to the titillating tug–of–war.
Jennifer’s mood was ruined as she sat back in the seat. She had her pride, too, and wouldn’t make any more advances unless he wanted.
She then asked, “When are you gonna divorce Danica?”
Wayne looked outside the window. Maybe it was a good thing that Danica proposed a divorce because it was what he wanted, too.
He replied, his tone indifferent, “Soon.”

After going back to the apartment with Florence, Danica lay in her soft bed.

She indeed had fun tonight. Tomorrow, her life would return to normal.
She took out her phone and opened WhatsApp.
In fact, she had two WhatsApp accounts. For the past three years, she had been using the one under the name “Mrs. Hamilton“, but it was time to say bye to it.
She logged into the other account.
Immediately, she received heaps of notifications from “Happy Family“, a group chat.
Cale: “Finally! Danica is back online!”
Tyrell: “Welcome home!”
Jimmy: “I miss you so much, Danica!”
Her senior fellow apprentice Cale Nash, second senior Tyrell Murphy, and third senior Jimmy Elliott all welcomed her comeback
passionately. The four of them were all apprentices of Jerome Titterington
Cale: “You left us and Jerome three years ago and insisted on being with your crush. Well? Have you had fun?”
Danica: “No.”
Tyrell: “Gee, I think she got dumped.”
Jimmy: “Seriously? There’d actually be a man she couldn’t charm?”
Cale: “Guys, show some sympathy here. Let’s just hope she can learn her lesson… I’m sorry, Danica, but this is so hilarious.”

Danica felt speechless for a second.
Could she kick them out of the group?
She decisively changed the group chat name to “Annoying Family“.
Jimmy: “Enough jokes. Danica, time to come back—the OR is fully booked. I’ve scheduled you for a tricky cardiac case at Charhelm Hospital tomorrow.”
Danica replied to him with an “OK” emoji.
As she exited the group chat interface, she noticed a friend request, and it was actually from Wayne.
Wayne wanted to add her on WhatsApp.
How ironic–she had texted him daily for the past three years from her other account, and he had never replied. And now he was trying to add
her on this one?
He should pay for how he looked down on her.
She tapped the screen.

At the Hamilton Group.
The Hamilton Group, Marinburg’s landmark, controlled the city’s economic lifeline. The skyscraper pierced the clouds, looking even more magnificent and grand at night.
After sending Jennifer home, Wayne came back to the CEO’s office, reviewing documents in his black leather chair.
With the pen in hand, he signed his name at the bottom of the paper

with bold, decisive strokes. The polished floor–to–ceiling windows behind him reflected the lights of the city, all reducing to a mere backdrop for his presence.
His phone dinged.
It was a notification from WhatsApp.
He picked it up and opened WhatsApp, knowing it was the reply from his junior.
As his gaze fell upon her reply, he was stunned for a second. Then he curved his lips into a cold smile.
