The reality proved that Stella’s worry was reasonable.
When hearing the knocking sound the door, Stella pushed away the man on top of her with great force
and abruptly got up and sat on the sofa.
Right at this moment, the door of the office was opened.
There came Sherry’s voice, “Stella, you…”
Sherry paused when she saw Stella sitting on the sofa with her cloth messy and her face red.
A man was sitting on the ground in front of Stella with one of his legs crossed. He looked towards
Sherry while licking his teeth.
Sherry immediately sensed a dangerous signal. She hurriedly closed the door and said quickly, “Oh, it’s
so weird. Why is Stella not here?”
Stella, “…”
How ridiculous!
When the door was closed, Clarence looked towards Stella and kept down his voice, “Go on?”
Stella stood up sulkily, “Go on your ass. I have to work now.”
She sat down in front of the computer, pressed the power button to turn on the computer and took out a
small mirror in an attempt to refine her make-up. But when she saw her reflection in the mirror, she had
an impulse to cut Clarence into pieces.
No wonder that when Sherry saw her just now, her expression became so weird.
Stella quickly smoothed her clothes, took out a tissue to wipe away the lipstick around her mouth
corners and fixed her make-up.
Sitting on the safe box behind Stella, Clarence grabbed the arms of the chair and swiveled the chair to
force Stella to face him, “Are you so busy with your work that you even have no time to accompany
me?”
Stella put down her lipstick, “Of course I’m so busy. If I don’t work harder, those people would gossip
that I depend on you to get the achievements I have today.”
Clarence raised his brows, “Is it awful to depend on me? I can give everything to you if you want.”
“Thank you. I don’t want it.”
Stella exerted some force in an attempt to revolve the chair back. But Clarence didn’t intend to loosen
his grip.
Stella heaved a sigh. All right, just let it be.
She asked, “Have you eaten the breakfast?”
“Not yet.”
Stella said seriously, “Have a rest on the sofa. I will order a takeout for you. It will arrive soon.”
Clarence, “…”
Seeing his slightly pressed lips, Stella couldn’t help but chuckle, “Just a joke. I haven’t eaten yet either.
Let’s go out together.”
Clarence stared at him and narrowed his black eyes dangerously, “You dare to fool me now, hmm?”
Seeing that he intended to do something to her again, Stella hurriedly dodged him. She stood up and
coughed, “All right, let’s go. I’m hungry.”
Before leaving the office, Stella checked again and again to make sure that there was no weird point on
her.
When she walked out of the office, she found that there were several guests in the studio. The
employees didn’t stand outside of the door than. Instead, they had begun to work. But Sherry wasn’t
present.
Stella guessed she was in the neighboring house.
On the way, Clarence asked her, “Did Charles come to find you?”
Stella gently nodded her head, “He negotiated with me and only gave half of the properties I required
before.”
Clarence said in a flat tone, “This is like the way of doing things of that foxy man.”
“But I required Phoebe to apologize to Channing?”
“Did he agree?”
Stella said, “He had to agree. This matter has attracted great intention and the matter related to
Channing was the main reason.”
Clarence asked, “Are you sure that he will keep his promise?”
“Of course,” Stella blinked her eyes and turned around to look at him, “I recorded our conversation.”
Clarence chuckled and reached out to rub her head, “Looks like the loss you suffered last time is
meaningful.”
Stella pouted. After a short while of silence, she asked, “How will you handle with Modesty?”
“It’s not her turn yet. I will get back on them one by one.”
Stella knew that he planned to handle with the Conrad family first.
She asked again, “I’ve contacted the organizer of the competition and they’re investigating that matter
now. Probably they will give us a result soon. As for Modesty, once her cheating in the competition is
exposed, her career will be ruined.”
Clarence commented, “She should have thought of the possible consequences before deciding to do
these things.”
Stella nodded her head. She didn’t sympathize with Modesty at all. It was just that she felt it pitiful.
Whenever she thought of Modesty, she would uncontrollably think of the other person.
Stella asked, “Is there any news of Adolph?”
“Nope.” Clarence continued, “Vincent is investigating it. Rest assured. He would not die even if Charles
dies.”
It made sense.
Adolph had gone through numerous hardships since childhood and had experienced many dangerous
situations ever since he grew up. He had his own rules of living. As long as he wanted to live, few
people in the world would be able to kill him.
After having the breakfast, Clarence sent Stella back to the studio and said, “I will be busy in the next
few days. Tell me if you miss me and I will find time to find you. Don’t feel embarrassed.”
Stella, “…”
He was so ridiculous!
Clarence curled his lips into a smile. Before leaving, he gently kissed her forehead.
He then turned around and left. Sherry suddenly appeared. She couldn’t help but tsk, “Oh, you two
begin to show affection publicly early in the morning.”
Stella’s temples thumped. She turned around and said, “You…”
Sherry hurriedly raised her hands, “I didn’t see anything. It was a comment on the TV drama I watched
just now.”
Stella didn’t plan to talk about this topic with her. She pulled Sherry into the office, “I didn’t have time to
ask you before. Why were you still together with Daniel late in last night? Didn’t you say that you
haven’t accepted his love?”
Sherry didn’t expect that she would suddenly ask this question. A touch of unnatural emotion flashed
across her face. She then sat onto the sofa and stammered, “Er… actually it’s nothing special. He sent
me home and drank a glass of water at my home.”
“How could he drink until 12 o’clock?”
Sherry tried to cover it, “Nothing. It was just that we talked about poems and life.”
Stella, “...”
Sherry had an impulse to slap herself when she realized what she said just now. What the hell was she
talking about?”
Stella heaved a sigh, “I have no opinion on Daniel. I just feel that you should wait for several days even
though you really like him.”
Sherry hurriedly nodded her head, “I see. Rest assured. I know what I should do.”
Stella prepared to say something else and moved her lips. But she suddenly realized that their
conversation now was like how Sherry persuaded her before she decided to be with Clarence.
This world was really like a circle.
When thinking of this, Stella felt it hard to persuade Sherry again.
But Sherry was spirited. She leaned forwards with excitement, “Stella, did you see the news on the
Internet? They’re all scolding at Phoebe. I felt so excited when I browsed the comments. After seeing
those comments, I finally realized how gentle I was when I scolded at other people. I was not mean
enough. But I learned from those people and now I will continue to criticize her. Phoebe must have not
expected this. The public image that she took great efforts to build before was ruined overnight. This is
the karma!”
Seeing this, Stella also took out her phone and sent a message to Donald.”
