After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
The chatter from the guests grew as Wendy and Michael stood at a standstill, neither willing to budge.
Suddenly, a voice broke through, "There you are, Ms. Corrine Swift! I've been looking for you all day!"
The owner of the voice was Christian. Christian made his way out of the crowd and laughed, "You told me that you would think about my offer, so I've been waiting for you. Were you avoiding me?"
With his appearance, the focus moved to Christian. He carried himself casually, as though he was used to having such attention on him.
"Oh, you tease me, Mr. Lucas. How could I be avoiding you?" Wendy followed Christian's flow.
"Let's step aside to continue our conversation."
"My sentiments exactly," Christian responded as he turned to walk away, Wendy trailing behind him.
