After arriving at the entrance of Conrad Tower, instead of going upstairs right away, Stella went to a
dessert shop to buy some pastries for takeout. Then she went to the CEO’s office.
When she arrived, Clarence was in a meeting.
Nathan said, “Ms. Radomil, the meeting will last another half an hour. Please have a seat and wait for a
moment.”
Stella smiled at him, “Okay. Thanks.”
She took a dessert out of the bag and handed it to him, “I bought a lot of them. This is for you, Nathan.”
Nathan probably didn’t expect that Stella would also buy him a pastry while visiting Mr. Conrad here.
He said in surprise, “Thank you so much, Ms. Radomil.”
As he spoke, he reached out to take it over.
Right then, another assistant knocked on the door. Nathan was informed to deal with the documents
delivered to this floor.
He coughed and hurriedly said, “Ms. Radomil, I must go back to work now. If you need any help, please
do let me know.”
Stella nodded, “Sure.”
After Nathan was gone, Stella sat on the sofa for a while, browsing news on her cell phone. Shortly
after, she felt quite sleepy.
Last night, she didn’t sleep at all. Now the sleepiness was attacking her, and she found it so difficult to
open her eyes. Soon, she fell asleep.
When Clarence entered the office after coming out of the conference room, he saw the woman napping
on the sofa.
He instantly paused his pace.
The two senior executives behind him also stopped walking. However, their sight was blocked by
Clarence, so they didn’t know what was going on in the office.
Clarence looked back at them and said flatly, “Go back to your work first. Come back in an hour.”
The two senior executives understood and left right away.
Clarence closed the door, strode into the office.
He sat down next to Stella. He wanted to wake her up, but when he saw the dark circles under her
eyes, he realized that she must have not slept very well.
Loosening his necktie with one hand, Clarence took off his suit jacket and covered her with it. Then he
picked up the documents on the tea table, starting to read.
Stella had napped for four hours. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
She stretched, yawning. Her hands touched something.
Then she heard the man’s indifferent voice, “What did you do last night?”
Stella raised her head, only to find Clarence was reading documents while sitting next to her.
She sat up slowly, feeling quite dizzy. However, she didn’t forget to flatter him, “I missed you too much
so I couldn’t sleep at all.”
Clarence looked at her, raising his eyebrows, “For real?”
“Of course not.”
Clarence was speechless.
After napping for so long, Stella felt hungry. She reached out to get a cupcake and ate it.
Watching her for a while, Clarence suddenly asked, “Did you buy the pastries for yourself?”
Stella swallowed the food before answering, “You can’t finish them all, can you? I’m sharing your
burden.”
As she spoke, she reached out her hand again.
Clarence grabbed her wrist, “Put it down. I can finish them all.”
Stella choked up.
Inwardly, she cursed him for being so petty.
She nestled back on the sofa, looking ahead aimlessly in a daze. It seemed that she hadn’t sobered up
completely.
Clarence asked, “Aren’t you busy in the studio today?”
“Yes, I was quite busy.”
“Why didn’t you come over?”
Stella looked at him, blinking, “I missed you.”
Clarence laughed out. He put his arm behind her on the sofa, licking his lips, “What trouble have you
made?”
Stella curled her lips, “I’m not a kid anymore. What trouble can I make?”
She moved a bit. When Clarence didn’t pay attention, she picked up a cupcake again. This time, she
didn’t eat it herself. Instead, she put it next to his mouth, “This is quite yummy. Have a try.”
Clarence bent down his head and took a bite expressionlessly.
Stella looked at him expectantly, “How do you like...”
Before she finished asking, her lips were sealed by him.
Clarence’s tip of the tongue reached into her lips. Wrapping his hand around her waist, he lifted her
and put her to sit on his lap. With one hand pressing the back of her head, he deepened this kiss.
Stella could hardly breathe while being kissed by him. She slightly pressed his chest as an objection.
A moment later, Clarence released her. He whispered in a low and hoarse tone in her ear, “What do
you think?”
Stella’s mind was still blank, “What?”
“Didn’t you ask me if I like it?”
Stella repeated his words inwardly and finally understood what he meant. She couldn’t help blushing.
She clicked her tongue secretly. ‘He’s so disgusting!’ she thought to herself.
Clarence asked slowly, “What on earth do you want to tell me?”
“I...”
“Ehn?”
Stella licked her lips.
They had kissed, he had eaten the cupcake, and she had flattered him. Hence, the foreshadowing
went on very well.
She said in a low voice, “Well... I want to discuss with you again about moving out from the Stewards’
Mansion.”
Clarence said, “That’s not negotiable.”
“I haven’t told you anything yet.”
“Haven’t you told me clearly?”
Stella still didn’t give up, “Well... I’ve considered carefully. I indeed want to move out and live with you,
but it’s not a proper time right now.”
Clarence snorted, “Are you making up to me after disappointing me?”
Stella ignored his question. She continued, “I know if I continued staying in the Stewards’ Mansion,
there would be no benefit for me at all. But I’m not a woman who gives up halfway. I must carry what
I’m doing to the end, right?”
“Since you do want to carry everything to the end, why did you divorce me back then?”
Stella choked up.
She was shocked that Clarence could connect those matters together. They were indeed different,
weren’t they?
Clarence released her. He stood up and walked to the desk, “Wait for a moment. I still have something
to deal with.”
“Oh, I see. In that case, I should go now...”
“I dared you to go.”
Stella looked at the leftover desserts on the tea table. She regretted buying them now.
She moved to Clarence slowly. Lying prone on the desk, she watched him deal with the documents
without a blink.
After a few seconds, she suddenly uttered his name, “Mr. Conrad.”
“Yes?”
“You are kind of handsome.”
Clarence didn’t raise his head at all. He answered flatly, “I know it.”
Stella took a deep breath. She wasn’t in the mood to talk any longer.
When she heard the sound that Clarence put down the pen, she looked over at him, “Done?”
Clarence hummed to answer. Then he said, “Let’s go home.”
“In fact... There’s another thing I want to tell you.”
Clarence leaned against his chair, looking at her expressionlessly as if he was waiting for her to make
other ridiculous excuses.
However, Stella looked quite solemn, “I know where Charles Steward has been hiding Jeffrey Radomil.
When I’ve found Jeffrey Radomil, I’ll move out.”
“If you’ve found him, what’s next?”
“I...” Stella thought for a moment and continued, “I believe once Jeffrey Radomil has lost his value,
Charles Steward will definitely kill him, but I still want to ask Jeffrey Radomil some questions.”
Clarence asked, “What questions?”
Stella said lightly, “I wanted to know where my mother’s graveyard is and if Chan is his biological son.”
The man’s slender fingers knocked on the desk. He asked slowly, “Do you think he would answer you
honestly?”
