Chapter 029 Uniform Temptation
Stacey’s face darkened, this was not a suggestion, but a reminder at best.
“Come here.” Sitting on the bed, Hogan tickled his fingers at Stacey, “The environment in this hospital is good, we’re staying here today.”
“Mr. Barnes, are you kidding me?”
Even if the environment of the hospital was good, they couldn’t treat the hospital as a hotel!
“Am I like a joker?”
Hogan looked serious.
He never joked.
Hogan’s room was an advanced ward with a TV and air conditioner, and there was a garden outside the window.
Stacey stood by the window, and it was already dark. After what happened today, Stacey dared not go home alone.
Thinking about it now, Stacey was a little scared.
“Mr. Barnes, do you know who hired those people?” Stacey remembered something and looked at Hogan tentatively.
Normally, he would have asked who the employer was, but Hogan didn’t.
“I don’t know.” Hogan said flatly, and said again, “Come here.”
The decoration of the advanced ward was similar to that of an ordinary home. There was only one hospital bed in the room, but fortunately, there was a big sofa. Stacey pointed, “I sleep on the sofa.”
“No.” Hogan frowned.
Stacey was the most clueless woman he’d ever met.
Because she was scared during the day and too tired at night, Stacey slept very peacefully in Hogan’s arms that night.
Because Hogan was injured, in order to express her gratitude to Hogan, at noon the next day, Stacey went to the president’s office with a takeaway.
Stacey knocked lightly on the door, and Hogan’s voice came from inside, “Come
in.”
Stacey took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Hogan was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs leisurely. Opposite was a familiar figure, Oscar Gray, Stacey’s ex–boyfriend.
“Stacey?” The moment he saw Stacey, Oscar’s eyes were full of surprise. He knew that Stacey was Hogan’s younger sister and that the relationship between the two of them was not good, but he never expected that Stacey would appear in the Barnes Group.
Stacey was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, as a response to Oscar’s
words.
Looking at Stacey’s reaction, there was a moment of astonishment in Oscar’s eyes. Time was indeed a terrible thing. Stacey was different from before. Before they broke up, Stacey was innocent and cute, always following him like a little girl.
Now Stacey was much more mature, and compared to her before, she had a little more indifference.
“Unfortunately, I have bothered you, Mr. Barnes, so I’m leaving first.” Stacey’s hand holding the food box tightened even more, and even the joints of her hands were slightly white.
She looked indifferent on the surface, but after seeing Oscar, there was still a little turmoil in her heart.
Hogan’s eyes fell on the takeaway that Stacey was holding, and he said coldly, “Ms. White, you wait here.”
Stacey’s face turned dark, and although she didn’t understand Hogan’s
intentions, she stayed. She stood beside Hogan respectfully. Since returning from Paris, Stacey’s bad luck had been going on and on.
“Mr. Gray, please go on.”
Hogan reminded Oscar, while listening to what Oscar said, he looked at the documents brought by Oscar.
“Okay, Mr. Barnes, you should know a lot about our company. Have you heard about the news recently?”
“Our company is just struggling with cash flow. As long as you are willing to help, our company will soon be able to operate as before.”
“Mr. Gray, I can’t help you with this.”
Stacey paused, it turned out that Oscar wanted to ask Hogan for help, but Hogan ruthlessly rejected him.
Oscar frowned slightly, looking at Stacey’s eyes a little beggingly, he was surprised to meet Stacey here, naturally, this may not be a bad thing for him.
He hoped that Stacey would help him for the sake of their relationship, maybe Hogan would agree.
Stacey did not speak, the ex–boyfriend absolutely was the scariest creature in the world.
“Mr. Barnes, I hope you will think about it again.” Oscar stood up wisely and prepared to leave.
As for the blind eye from Stacey, Oscar felt a little disappointed.
Hogan nodded perfunctorily, Oscar’s company was already facing bankruptcy, and there was no need for reinvestment at all.
“Mr. Barnes, then I’ll go first, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me.”
After Oscar finished speaking, his eyes fell on Stacey again, “Stacey, I want to talk to you.”
Her?

Stacey paused, there didn’t seem to be much to say between them.
Since they broke up, all contact had been severed.
Before Stacey could speak, Hogan beside him had already made the decision. for her, “She doesn’t have time.”
Hearing Hogan say this, Oscar was a little embarrassed, and he said lightly, “I see.” Then he left the office.
Stacey and Hogan were left in the room.
Hogan stood up from the couch with a hint of impatience on his face.
The presence of Oscar made him very unhappy. He knew about the relationship between Oscar and Stacey, and any man who had anything to do with Stacey would make Hogan unhappy.
“What is Oscar looking for you?”
“His company needs money, so he hopes I can help.”
“Will you help him?”
“No.”
Stacey had never paid attention to these things. Now she asked this question because the other party was Oscar, her ex–boyfriend?
Hogan sneered inwardly, this woman had better stop there, if Stacey kept asking, he’d have to punish her.
Stacey did not refute Hogan’s words but just nodded, indicating that she had understood.
“Mr. Barnes, I ordered a takeaway for you,” Stacey said, walked to the table, and opened the box, most of which contained nourishing dishes.
“You haven’t had your lunch, right?”
Hogan went to the desk and sat down, very leisurely, “Feed me.”
Stacey felt that her ears were not very good recently.
“Mr. Barnes, you hurt your left arm. You can still eat.”
“Who am I hurting because of? Don’t you think you should feed me?”
No matter how good–natured Stacey talked to him, Hogan’s tone was as grumpy as ever.
Martin’s efficiency in doing things had declined recently because he hadn’t
found the evidence he wanted.
Stacey lowered her eyes, speechless.
Holding the chopsticks, she picked up a mouthful of rice and fed him, “Open your mouth.”
While obeying Hogan’s order, Stacey thought ferociously that it would be best to choke him, and she even began to wonder if Hogan’s mind was thinking about how to torture her every day.
“Come to a party with me tonight.”
Stacey stopped, and the food she picked up fell on Hogan’s pants in an instant, leaving an ugly stain. Hogan stared at her, and his voice was extremely
indifferent, “Stacey, do you have any problem with me?”
“No.” Stacey shook her head hastily, looking at Hogan sheepishly.
She didn’t mean to.
Stacey took out a tissue and hurried to wipe it for him. She knew that Hogan was a bit of a clean freak, and for such a person, having a stain on his body was
taboo.
“Um…”
Hogan suddenly moaned, and Stacey was startled, suddenly realizing how big a
mistake she had made.
That food landed between Hogan’s legs in an unbiased way.
Stacey stood up hastily, and looked at Hogan guiltily, “Mr. Barnes, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Stacey’s face was flushed, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in right away.
Hogan stood up, put one hand on the table, and put Stacey in his arms, “You are seducing me?”
“It’s a big misunderstanding.” Stacey smiled awkwardly.
Hogan looked straight at her, and at that moment, Stacey saw something other than coldness in Hogan’s eyes, it was lust…
Stacey’s back was against the table, surrounded by Hogan’s arms, and there
was no way out.
“I really didn’t mean it. How about this, you take off your pants and I’ll wash them for you.”
Hogan pressed against her, and Stacey could clearly feel his stiffness and his concentration was poor.
“Take off my pants? You help me then.”
Hogan’s breathing came short, and he slid a hand under her dress.
