Chapter 018 Don’t Ever Get Involved With Other Men
As it was getting dark, Hogan sat in the car with a cigarette burning between his fingers, flickering on and off.
Unknowingly, Hogan had been downstairs in Stacey’s room for more than half an hour.
He somehow thought of Stacey when he was with that
woman.
The lights in Stacey’s room were dimmed, and he didn’t know whether she was asleep or not. After reaching Stacey’s downstairs, Hogan suddenly didn’t want to go upstairs.
Hogan put out his cigarette and was about to start the car to leave, but a black car drove into Hogan’s line of sight. The number of that car was somewhat familiar to Hogan.
That was Matthew’s car, the young master of the Roger Family.
He went around the car and opened the passenger’s door, and then Stacey came into Hogan’s line of sight.
Hogan’s fist was clenched, and he hit the steering wheel with a ‘bang‘, wasn’t she sick? But she ran out to be with Matthew?
In Stacey’s mind, was Matthew that important?
Hogan sat in the car and couldn’t hear what Matthew and Stacey were saying, so he opened the door and got out of the car, and went straight to Stacey.

The dim streetlights shone on Hogan’s face, his handsome cheeks were a bit gloomy, and his deep pupils were staring closely at Stacey.
Hearing the footsteps, Stacey glanced back slightly, didn’t care at first, but then suddenly froze, was that Hogan?
“Why are you here?” Stacey looked at him in surprise, her face was a little red because of the alcohol.
Seeing that Stacey and Matthew stood together, Hogan looked extremely upset, “Get over here.”
Stacey frowned because the way he always talked with her, was so ungentlemanly.
“Mr. Barnes, although you are her boss now, today is her rest time, so you can’t order her.” Matthew took a step forward and directly protected Stacey behind him.
He never supported Stacey when she went to the Barnes Group, but Stacey had already made a decision, so naturally, he couldn’t say much.
Originally he thought that Hogan and Stacey could be considered old acquaintances, and even for the sake of his father William Barnes, Hogan should treat Stacey well, but he didn’t expect his attitude towards Stacey to be so bad.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Hogan’s face was livid, and the way Stacey looked at Matthew drove him mad with disgust.
Seeing that Stacey didn’t move at all, Hogan glared at her angrily, the anger in his eyes seemed to erode Stacey, “Come here, Stacey, don’t make me say it a third time.”

There was a hint of threat in Hogan’s words, Stacey knew who she was now, she was Hogan’s lover.
Everyone in LA. probably knew that Hogan’s temper was not good. The last time she just praised Pete, Hogan was so angry that he almost strangled her.
He also said,” Stacey, believe it or not, I’ll bring his head up to you?”
Stacey didn’t want to involve Matthew, and she didn’t want Matthew to know about her relationship with Hogan.
So she bit her lower lip, tangled in her heart, and after a moment’s pause, she made up her mind to go to Hogan’s side.
Hogan’s eyes softened at the sight of her sensible manner.
However, just as Stacey took a step, Matthew suddenly grabbed her wrist,” Stacey.”
Matthew’s brows were furrowed. He remembered that Stacey was always a little arrogant, but for some reason now, she seemed to be a little afraid of Hogan.
“It’s okay even if you quit your job at the Barnes Group, you can come to me.” Matthew’s voice sounded in Stacey’s ear, then Stacey’s heart clicked and she panicked.
She knew that Matthew was good to her, but where she worked was not even up to herself. She also wanted to leave the Barnes Group, but Hogan wouldn’t let her.
Hogan had something on her, and he had her now.
“Some people you can only look at, you can’t get, and you
can’t touch.”
Hogan’s cold voice came from behind him. He stepped
forward, grabbed Stacey’s wrist too, and pulled her to his side. Therefore, Stacey was caught between the two, and the scene was awkward.
“Matthew, I’m fine, you go back first.”
Stacey took a long breath. Compared with Hogan, Matthew was easier to talk to.
“He won’t do anything to me.” Stacey gave Matthew a reassuring look, but her heart beat faster.
After a long stalemate, Matthew gave Stacey a worried look, then turned around and left. He got in his back car and then sped away.
This was the second time, between himself and Hogan, Stacey chose Hogan.
The last time was on the day of the auction.
“Are you going on a date with him?” Hogan looked at Stacey gloomily, the anger in his heart was burning to the extreme. Why did she smile so happily when facing Matthew?
While facing him, she was expressionless.
“Are you dumb? Speak!”
In Hogan’s mind, the two of them were just going out on a date, but Hogan still wanted to hear Stacey answer him herself.
“We just went out to dinner together.””

“Then you like him?”
Hogan had investigated the relationship between Matthew and Stacey the day after meeting Stacey.
Matthew and Stacey met in Paris. The relationship between the two was good. According to the survey results, they were good friends, but he did not believe that they were just friends.
“Let go of me, it hurts.”
Stacey anxiously wanted to withdraw her wrist, he had pinched it yesterday, but now, he was still holding her with such force. Stacey’s wrist would break in his hand sooner or later.
Seeing her painful face, Hogan remembered Sandy’s words. Sandy said that her health condition was very concerning.
Thinking of this, the hand holding her wrist loosened slightly.
“Answer my question.”
Stacey tried to change the subject, but Hogan looked like he wouldn’t give up until he got the answer.
“No, Matthew and I are just good friends.”
“You call him Matthew?” Hogan was like a wild beast, wanting to kill his prey, “What do you call me then?”
“Mr. Barnes.”
Stacey answered truthfully, she used to call Hogan’s brother Dave seven years ago, she also tried to call Hogan by his name, but Hogan said to her in a bad tone, “Who do you think
64.643
you are?”
Since then, Stacey had called him Mr. Barnes along with the nanny at home.
And she had called Mr. Barnes for seven years, so Stacey didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
“Warning you, don’t ever get involved with other men,”
“Mr. Barnes, you meddle too much, you know why I agreed to be your woman, but other than that, we should have our own lives.”
“Our own lives? Don’t expect another man in your life.”
Hogan’s words were gnashing his teeth, not letting Stacey sleep with him every day was already his last concession.
Hogan grabbed her arm, opened the car door, and unceremoniously dropped her in the passenger seat.
Hogan then walked around and got into the car.
The air outside was very cold. As soon as she felt the heater in the car, Stacey shivered instantly, “Mr. Barnes, I want to go back to sleep, I’m very sleepy now.”
“Are you sleepy when you go out on a date with Matthew?”
“I told you, it’s not a date!” Because Hogan had such a bad temper and she would try not to piss him off, Stacey went on to explain that.
It was Pete yesterday, and Matthew today, and this was Hogan’s bottom line.

Hogan didn’t answer Stacey’s words, but he suddenly pressed her on the car seat and kissed her lips domineeringly.
Stacey froze at his sudden action, her eyes moved, and she saw an emotion she had never seen before in Hogan’s eye. It was even stronger than that day.
According to Stacey’s judgment, Hogan wanted to force her… again!
“Mr. Barnes, stop!”
