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?"
After Wendy returned to Christian's office, he took her hand and led her up the stairs. Wendy flung his hand away forcefully. She stopped short as she said sternly, "I only agreed to be your assistant. I hope that there will not be physical contact between us again in the future."
Christian chuckled. He said, "Wendy, what am I trying to achieve by making you my assistant?"
"You want to anger Michael," answered Wendy.
"That's right. This is why physical contact between us is necessary," said Christian with a thoughtful look on his face. Smiling, he continued, "But don't worry, I know that there is a line you cannot bring yourself to cross. How about we just limit ourselves to physical touch?
"No way," Wendy rejected him immediately, "If that's the case, I think I may not be qualified for this job."
