After going back, Daniel looked at the room door behind him, as if thinking of something.
At this moment, his phone rang.
The call was from Emmett, he asked, “How’re things?”
Daniel sat on the sofa, he crossed his long and slender legs, “I did it myself, of course it was
successful.”
Emmett said, “Phoebe is smarter than you think. As for the things that had happened in the Conrad
family recently, she was largely involved.”
“I won’t take it lightly, what’s more…” Daniel paused, and said, “He came back earlier.”
“When?”
“Should be today.”
Emmett asked, “He’s seen Phoebe?”
Daniel got up, pulled open the fridge door, and took out a can of beer, “Seen, I intentionally brought
Phoebe out.”
“Then should we move forward the plan.”
“No need.” Daniel added, “Oh right, I met Stella today, she was with Clarence.”
Emmett stayed silent.
Daniel said, “There are so many pretty girls, why do you only want Clarence’s.”
“You wouldn’t understand.”
Without waiting for Daniel’s answer, Emmett had already hung up.
Daniel held his phone and tutted, he raised his head and downed half a can of beer.
The initial plan today was that he would go get acquainted with Phoebe, so to ease their future plan,
but he hadn’t thought that…
Looking at the situation, Phoebe still held a grudge towards Clarence.
If not, she wouldn’t have said all those things in public to make things awkward for him.
Daniel finished his beer, with a single hand he crushed the can, and raised his hand to throw it into the
bin.
The can felt into the bin.
…
Sherry looked at the half of the leftover cake, and gave a burp, “I really can’t eat anymore.”
Stella looked at her, “Put it in the fridge then.”
“No, didn’t Daniel say that it wouldn’t be good anymore if we leave it overnight.” Sherry wanted to take
another bite, but she was so full that she really couldn’t take it anymore, she instead fell straight on the
sofa and said, “He’s quite strange, bringing over a cake but not eating any himself. All these were
eaten by me.”
Stella stayed silent, she realized, the reason Daniel came today.
It was to catch wind from her the relationship between Phoebe and Clarence.
But Stella couldn’t think of the reason he would do this. After a moment, she got up and said, “I’ll head
to bed, you stop eating, go rest earlier.”
Sherry gave another burp, and stood up with difficulty, “You go sleep first, I need to go for a walk, this is
making me very bloated.”
“There’s some digestion medicine in the drawer, take some of that.”
“Alright.”
Days passed peacefully.
These few days, not sure if it was because Clarence was busy with discussion about the cooperation,
but he finally stopped looking for trouble with her.
Stella’s uptight mood relaxed a little.
When she was looking out the window and zoning out, Sherry’s voice passed through from outside,
“Stella, quick come and look.”
Stella got up and headed out of the office, “What’s wrong?”
“The environment protection project outside has completed.” Sherry exclaimed, “After this project, the
view is indeed not bad, the air has also gotten a lot better. And guess what?”
“What.”
“Besides the greenery, baby breaths are planted all over outside in so many different colours. The
meaning of baby breaths is that I am missing you, that you are innocent and pure, giving me a
dreamlike state, I really like you, having you makes me happy, and this is the romance I want to give
you.”
Stella, “…”
Sherry continued, “Are you really not curious on who is the philanthropist that did this without leaving
his name.”
“Nope.”
“That’s too bad.”
At that moment, Emmett came in from outside. Hearing the conversation, he asked, “What’s too bad?”
Sherry gave a dry laugh, “Nothing, nothing at all.”
Speaking of this, Sherry continued, “Emmett, are you very busy recently, I haven’t been seeing much of
you.”
Emmett nodded, “I went overseas for a work trip, just got back.”
“No wonder, I noticed you’ve even gotten thinner recently.”
Emmett laughed, “Tomorrow is winter solstice, do you guys have any plans?”
Sherry sighed, “I don’t have a boyfriend, how do I make plans. But we are planning to make hotpot at
home, do you want to come?”
While speaking, Sherry was desperately trying to hint at him.
As if slightly hesitant, Emmett looked at Stella and said, “Can I?”
“Of course.”
Anyway she had also invited Chan and Winnie, it doesn’t matter if there’s one more person.
Emmett breathed a sigh of relief, “Then do I need to bring anything.”
Sherry said with melancholy, “Bring me a boyfriend.”
Emmett, “…”
Stella covered Sherry’s mouth, laughed and said, “She’s just joking.”
After that night of finishing half the cake, Sherry had already thought things through, and had officially
given up on Daniel.
Since she had already decided to become the king of the seas, how can she still be stuck with a fish.
Emmett lowered his head to look at his wristwatch, “Then I’ll see you guys tomorrow, I have something
on, I’ll head off first.”
Sherry asked, “So rush?”
“I was just passing by here, so I dropped by to visit you guys.”
Stella said, “Alright then, see you tomorrow.”
Emmett nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
After a few steps, he realized his surroundings had changed, those greenery seemed like they had
sprouted out of nowhere. Standing in front of him, it was as if they were silently declaring war on him.
After Emmett had left, Sherry said, “Chan, Winnie, and Emmett, we already have five of us, looks like it
will be busy tomorrow.”
Stella said, “Do you want to call Daniel?”
“Forget it.” Sherry said softly, “Compared to hotpot, I think he prefers canned food.”
Conrad Group.
Clarence put down the pen in his hand, and pinched his nose bridge, “Is there anything else for today.”
Nathan said, “Nothing else, but we have a meeting tomorrow at 9 in the morning, we have to come to
the company early tomorrow.”
Clarence acknowledged that, got up and said, “Go back then.”
Nathan followed behind him, “Mr. Conrad, there’s one thing…”
“What?”
“There’s a dinner tomorrow with Winnie, but she said she’s not going.”
“Reason.”
Nathan couldn’t answer, Winnie didn’t mention specifically too.
Clarence reached out his hand, “Give me your phone.”
Nathan quickly searched for Winnie’s number and called her, then passed the phone to Clarence.
The phone rang for a while before she answered.
Clarence said, “If you’re not going for the dinner tomorrow, then treat it as you’re absent.”
Winnie, “…”
She said, “Mr. Conrad, this is unreasonable, I was only informed of the dinner this afternoon, and I had
already promised my friend to celebrate the festival with them.”
Hearing this, Clarence paused for a second before saying, “Which friend.”
“A pretty girl.”
“…”
Clarence paused in his tracks, after a few seconds, he said, “Where is that.”
“At her house.”
“You can choose to not go for the dinner tomorrow, but I have a condition.”
