Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

When Sebastian Brenand saw the call, he immediately picked up. He then leaned lazily against his chair. "What is it, Stanley? Did you miss me?"

"We haven't met up in a while. Let's have dinner tonight at seven o'clock. Take Rachel with you. We'll be dining at Room 808 in Palace Hotel," Stanley Batton said.

Sebastian would have directly agreed when his friend extended an invite like this in the past.

However, he didn't hesitate at all to reject him today. "Sorry, but I can't make it. I've been so busy lately that I only have time to spend with my wife at night. That's what I'll be doing after work.

"I'll take a raincheck and meet up with you guys some other time, okay? I'll go to your office and drink with you another day if you missed me that much," he suggested with a laugh.

"You know I don't drink during office hours," his friend replied drily.

"In that case, I'll drink while you watch me."

"Fine, whatever you want," Stanley agreed before quickly hanging up.

Sebastian set his phone aside and resumed work, feeling motivated by the thought of seeing his wife at home right after work.

He would feel particularly at ease no matter how tired he was whenever he thought about Rachel Wood.
