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 her spirits heightening. “Good morning, Stanley.” Monica positioned herself directly in front of him to stop him from walking away. They gazed at each other for a moment, and Monica realized that it had been a while 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 leaned back a little. “There was something in your hair, she uttered after brushing it off and pulling her hand away. “You keep heading out even though things are busy at work today. Did something happen? Do you 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 continued walking forward after that. Monica felt her heart sink a little as she watched him walk off. Then, she hurried after him and followed him all the way into his office. Stanley took a seat in his custom-made office 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 her cool then. She gathered the documents in her hands and placed them in front of him before changing the topic. “The design team came up with 28 samples recently. You can go through them. I’ve already done an initial screening of the samples, and these are the ones that really stood out,” she announced with a smile.
However, as she was speaking, she realized that there wasn’t even a slight change in the expression on Stanley’s handsome face. It was almost as if he hadn’t heard her at all. “Everyone seems to have put a lot of effort into the design this time,” Monica continued with a smile. A lot of these samples are a result of late nights in the office. It seems like these creative people get more inspiration once the sun sets…”
Monica’s voice trailed off as she watched Stanley pull his phone out before dialing a number in front of her. “Hey Taylor, are you home today? I’ll go over to yours after I’m done with work,” he said. The smile on Monica’s face stiffened. It’s almost like there’s no point in all the talking that I just did. He wasn’t listening 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’ll heal the bruises in a few days, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it.” In other words, Monica was telling 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. “What is 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 turning cold. upon hearing his words. Am I just invisible to him? He wasn’t like this in the past. He used to be willing to communicate with me, at least when I talked about work. Monica took one last glance at the design samples on the table. She felt too shameful to stay for much longer, so she shuffled off with a dejected look on her face. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
That afternoon, Melinda was in an especially good mood after she managed to print the agreement. I just have to wait for Stanley to come home and sign this! She decided to personally prepare a few dishes just to ensure that Stanley would be in a good mood when he signed the papers. “How many times 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 an apron 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 on Gael’s face. After all, Gael knew that Stanley would be pleased to have a meal prepared by his wife and children after a long day at work. However, after Gael went through the agreement, he had mixed feelings. 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 before he 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?”
