Clarence handed over her mobile and said lightly, “Salesperson.”
“Why did you talk so long with a salesperson then?” Stella doubted.
“I explained to him the country economics’ direction this year.”
Stella, “…” Stella was speechless; she didn’t know what to say.
“Stella, Mr. Conrad… the foods are getting cold,” someone shouted.
Stella kept her mobile aside, “Let’s go.”
While sitting, Clarence glanced at ‘Little Rabbit’ who was enjoying his food, raised his chin and said,
“Move a bit to that side.”
‘Little Rabbit’ looked at him angrily, clenched his fists, thought about their power differences and gave
in.
Stella was astonished by his action, “Why do you bully a child?”
“I’m giving him a lesson on how to survive in the real world.” Clarence defended.
Stella chose to ignore him and gave ‘Little Rabbit’ a few more skewers of food.
He took it as he ate, “Thanks Stella.”
Sherry beside him mocked, “Look at your hungry face, you had lunch didn’t you?”
“This is the respect we should give to the food.”
Everyone, “…”
After dinner, someone suggested playing a small game and the punishment for losers was singing.
In the end, it was still the two that rejected.
‘Little Rabbit’ claimed he had school work to do while Clarence said he needed to answer a call from
work.
When he was back, he saw Stella who sat smiling in the crowd around the fire, her smile was as bright
as a shiny star and she became the center of attraction.
Clarence stood and gazed at her with his lips lifted.
“Clarence, you like Stella don’t you?” ‘Little Rabbit’ interrupted out of a sudden.
Clarence moved his sight from Stella to him.
“There’s no need to deny, I can tell by the way you look at her.” Little Rabbit’s tone was like an adult.
“Why would I deny?” Clarence said, “She’s my wife.”
“Oh, it doesn’t look like it.”
Clarence moved his lips and smiled, “Are you challenging me?”
‘Little Rabbit’ defended, “You’ve mistaken, I’m just stating the fact.”
“The fact is you need a lesson.”
Stella walked over and heard what he said; she frowned, “You bullying him again?”
‘Little Rabbit’ noticed the situation; he immediately hid behind Stella and put on a pitiful face.
Clarence let out a chuckle; he looked at the little kid as a sign of warning to him that this was not over.
Since they had a barbecue feast and played games, it was time to head home.
They tidied up the place, kept everything in the car and ready to depart.
The numbers of people were the same, so they went back the way they came.
However, Sherry was a little worried that her car couldn’t keep up with Clarence’s speed but couldn’t
ask Clarence to wait for her in front of the studio either.
She thought for a while, “Mr. Conrad, I…”
Clarence knew what she was thinking and grabbed ‘Little Rabbit’ by his collar. “I’ll send him back.”
Sherry’s eyes shone, “Thank you, Mr. Conrad!”
Stella didn’t expect such an offer from Clarence, she was afraid that he might bully the kid again so she
gave him her number and stroke his head. “Call me should anything happen.”
“Thank you, Stella, goodbye.” He waved at Sherry too.
Sherry waved back with a smile, this nightmare had finally ended.
Soon, three cars disappeared into the darkness.
Inside the black Rolls Royce, Clarence asked, “Where do you live?”
‘Little Rabbit’ held his bag tightly, “Drop me at any station and I can go back on my own.”
Clarence smiled hearing that. “Are you joking? I’m in such a good mood, let me show you a magic trick,
shut your eyes and you’ll be home when I call you.”
Little Rabbits chubby face stiffened and didn’t say a word.
Clarence didn’t continue either, he stepped on the gas pedal and sped up.
The car stopped in front of a high-end condominium.
Little Rabbit’s hands on the bag tightened.
Clarence turned to him, “Too afraid to walk?”
“Thank you for sending me back, I can go home by myself,” ‘Little Rabbit’ replied calmly.
He then quickly opened the door and began running, but was grabbed by the collar by Clarence.
‘Little Rabbit’ struggled in the air with a reddened face, “Let go of me!”
“Walk nicely before I lose my patience.”
“Alright.”
Clarence put him down.
‘Little Rabbit’ picked up his bag on the floor, patted away the dust, put it on his back and walked slowly
inside.
Clarence looked at his watch and urged impatiently, “Faster.”
‘Little Rabbit’ complained, “A gentleman should be polite and patient, you are none, no wonder Stella is
not your wife!”
Clarence chose to ignore him.
‘Little Rabbit’ then pressed on the elevator and the door opened two minutes later.
He pulled on the straps on his bag and repeated, “Thank you for sending me back, I arrived.”
Clarence looked at the number, “Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Go out then,” Clarence pressed on the floor above.
‘Little Rabbit’ frowned seeing that, he couldn’t utter a word but went back into the elevator.
Ding, the elevator door opened and Clarence went out first.
‘Little Rabbit’ followed behind unwillingly.
Clarence stood beside the door and said, “Open the door.”
‘Little Rabbit’ grunted and pressed the password.
He wanted to shut the door close immediately but someone asked from inside. “Aaron, where have you
been? Why are you coming back so late?”
Despite he was quick but Clarence was quicker, he blocked the door with half of his body.
The man that saw this stunned.
Clarence greeted, “Hi Mr. William.”
He then grabbed and pushed ‘Little Rabbit’ aside and entered the apartment.
William looked at the kid and him, “Mr. Conrad?”
Clarence closed the door and said casually. “I have the same question, what is going on?”
While they were talking, ‘Little Rabbit’ struggled free from Clarence and hid behind William.
A few seconds later, William patted his head, “Aaron, go back to your room, I have things to do.”
He then turned to Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, please come in.”
