Actually, Stella wasn’t surprised at this result at all.
But this was good. They had tried and Chan would not feel guilty any longer.
After a long while, Channing said in an upset tone, “I will try other means.”
Stella looked askance at him, “Chan, haven’t you planned to be in a relationship?”
“Nope.”
Stella suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively, “Could it be that you like boys? Rest
assured, as long as he’s the one you like, I will not have any rejection…”
Channing pulled a long face, “Nonsense!”
He then added, “Don’t worry about to. I will handle my own business and you should consider for
yourself more.”
Stella chuckled, “Aren’t I having a good life?”
“I heard from Sherry that someone is pursuing you.”
Stella said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. We’re just normal friend.”
Channing had disbelief written all over his face.
Stella directly asked him to leave, “All right, I don’t need your help now. Go back to your school.”
Before leaving, Channing asked after hesitating for a while, “Will that man come here again?”
Stella was bewildered, “Which one?”
“Your friend. That celebrity.”
Stella came to her own sense, “Are you talking about Winnie Truman? She’s quite busy. Maybe she will
visit me when she’s free. What’s the matter?”
Channing replied in a flat tone, “Nothing. It’s just that my classmates longs for her signature and they
asked me to get it.”
“Then I will ask her for her signature when she visit me next time. How many do you want?”
“As you like.”
After finishing the words, Channing left in hurry without turning around.
Looking at his back, Stella chuckled. When she was about to withdraw her gaze and continue with her
work, she saw an uninvited person standing at the door.
It was Phoebe. She watched Channing leaving and then walked into the studio.
Her eyes met with Stella’s in the air and she curled her lips into a light smile, “Is that your friend, Ms.
Radomil?”
“He’s my younger brother.”
Phoebe raised her brows when she heard the words, “I haven’t expected that your younger brother is
also so good-looking. I begin to be jealous of you, Ms. Radomil.”
Stella knew that this was just a high-sounding polite formula, so she simply smiled politely, “Ms.
Steward, do you have any matter?”
Originally, Stella thought that after she said those words to Phoebe last time, they would not meet
again.
But she hadn’t expected that Phoebe would visit her two days after that conversation.
Phoebe said, “I’m here for two things today.”
She said with a smile, “Let’s talk about the business first. Ms. Radomil, I want to ask you to customize a
necklace for me. But maybe it’s a bit urgent because I want it by Saturday.”
“Ms. Steward, I’m so sorry. We don’t accept rush order. Moreover, our orders of customization are
scheduled until several months later.”
Phoebe seemed to be a bit upset, “Oh, that’s it. It’s my fault. I didn’t investigate this before. Ms.
Radomil, sorry for troubling you.”
Stella maintained her smile, “Ms. Steward, do you have any other matter?”
Phoebe took out an invitation letter from her bag, “I will hold a birthday party on Saturday and I’ve
invited many friends. I hope Ms. Radomil can join us.”
Stella hadn’t expected that Phoebe would invite her to her birthday party. She couldn’t understand what
Phoebe was thinking for the time being, nor could she figure out what she was planning.
Several seconds later, she replied, “Ms. Radomil, thank you for your kindness. It’s just that I’m not
family with your friends, so…”
“Ms. Radomil, please rest assured. They are all of our ages and I’m sure that you will get along well.
Moreover, I told them that I wanted to befriend you before, so they also know about you. I know that
you have some misunderstandings of me and I hope we can solve it by this chance. It’s unworthy to
miss such a wonderful friend like you because of a man.”
Her words prevented Stella from refusing her invitation again.
Stella suddenly didn’t know whether she was sincere or not.
If she was sincere, then she had to admit that she misunderstood her before. But if she was
pretentious, Stella had to admire her shrewdness and composure as she still came to invite her after
that unpleasant conversation.
When Stella was pondering about how to answer it, Phoebe had placed the invitation letter in front of
her, “Ms. Radomil, you can’t consider it slowly. No matter what, I will be waiting for you.”
After finishing the words, she slightly nodded at Stella and then turned around and left.
Stella looked down at the pinky invitation letter, her temples thumping.
Right at this moment, Sherry walked out of the lounge. She took a glance at the invitation letter and
clicked het tongue, “Rich people are different. They even send invitations for a birthday party.”
Stella looked up at her, “You heard it?”
Sherry raised her hand and gestured her, “A little bit.”
She then asked, “Are you going to her party?”
Stella shook her head and put the invitation aside, “Nope.”
Although Phoebe had cancelled the engagement with Clarence, Stella didn’t want to any relationship
with a rich and powerful family like the Steward family.
Not to mention befriending her.
After all, their worlds were so different.
In the afternoon, there suddenly came a commotion outside. Stella felt it so noisy that she couldn’t
concentrate on her drawing. So she walked out of the office and looked towards the outside, “What’s
happening outside?”
A girl, who went out to check the situation just now, came back and said, “Seems a like an estate
developer has bought this area. It’s said that he thinks that this area has been seriously polluted over
the past years and wants to focus on environmental protection. He’s planning to green this area.
Stella was rendered speechless.
Which estate developer would be so kind?
Capitalists were all like the cold-hearted exploiter Clarence after all.
Sherry asked, “Will he has this dismantled?”
“They didn’t say this and simply said that they will plant many flowers, grasses and trees in the vicinity.”
“But how can we do business if it’s real?”
Before the completion of the project, the soil in the vicinity would be turned over and their customers
would see the messy scene. It would be more troublesome if there was a rain because there would be
muddy water everywhere.
Sherry felt it unacceptable when she thought over it. When she rolled up her sleeves as she was about
to go out to reason them, a man in a business suit entered the studio.
The man said, “I’m the person in charge of the greening project. My boss asked me to apologize to the
store owners who are affected by this project. I promise that all the construction will be done during the
night and it won’t affect your normal management.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Sherry slowly rolled down her sleeves.
The man handed a name card to her, “This is my phone number. Feel free to contact me if you have
any problem.”
In the face of his politeness, Sherry felt a bit embarrassed for her impertinency just now.
“All right. Thank you for your hard works.”
The man slightly nodded at her. When he was about to leave, Stella walked over, “Can I know about
your company?”
“Erm…” The man recalled what Nathan told him before and replied, “Our boss often does good deeds
without asking for appreciation. You don’t need to have any burden.”
