In Conrad Group...

After delivering the documents to the conference room, Nathan came out and poured a glass of water

over to Stella.

Stella took it and said thank you. She thought for a moment before saying, "Has Conrad Group been

very busy lately?"

Nathan replied sternly, "The Conrad Group has been fine lately."

Hearing his words, Stella froze, "Then what is Clarence busy with? I see that he is very busy."

Saying that, she couldn't help but frown, "Or is something wrong with the Conrad family?"

Seeing that she misunderstood, Nathan hurriedly said, "Ms. Radomil, it's not the Conrad Group, and it's

not the Conrad family, it's ..."

Nathan was a little hesitant. Since Mr. Conrad did not say, it indicated that he did not want Stella to

know these things, and he did not know whether he should tell her about this.

Stella said calmly, "Then he's having an affair."

Nathan was so scared that he immediately said, "Mr. Conrad has actually been dealing with things with

the Steward Group lately."

Stella was slightly stunned, "Steward Group?"

"Yes." Nathan nodded, "Ms. Radomil, you may not be aware that when Lyndon was still around, he had

already messed up the Steward Group, and many of the accounts were in serious deficit. Coupled with

Steward Group's current situation, all project is halted, many businesses, large or small, have gone

bankrupt as a result, and many employees have been affected."

Stella said, "Is that what he's been working on ... lately?"

Nathan continued, "No matter what, Steward Group is one of the country's leading large companies.

Both its influence and its size are huge, and it's a completely independent business, so there's only so

much the Conrad Group can do."

Stella did not speak for a moment.

She would never have guessed that Clarence was dealing with matters of the Steward Group.

Thinking about it, she closed her eyes.

Even Clarence and Daniel together couldn't handle the matter, so it could be seen how troublesome

and tricky it was.

If this was the case, then there was really no other way.

No wonder Armand and Logan had approached her.

Nathan said, "Ms. Radomil, you can trust Mr. Conrad. He can handle these things. It's just that the

Conrad family is watching too closely, so it's going to take a little while."

Stella pursed her lips for a few seconds before she said, "I understand."

Nathan nodded and left the office.

Stella sat on the sofa and looked blankly at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her. No one knew

what she was thinking.

Time passed by. The sky turned from bright to gray and finally returned to black.

The streets were lit up with one street light after another.

She had been thinking about it since Logan and the others came looking for her.

Even though both Sherry and Daniel had told her not to say yes…

They were all saying how much trouble this thing would get her into, but no one was saying that if she

chose to go down this path, it must be wrong.

Everyone knew that she might be the only one who could temporarily pull the Steward Group back from

the brink of death now.

Probably caused by the environment she grew up in, Stella just wanted to live her life well and in

peace, and it was enough for her to protect the people who mattered most to her.

But now, no matter what purpose those people were holding, they made her have to take care of this

matter.

Whether it was for herself, or for the tens of thousands of employees, or even for Clarence.

Just as she was lost in thought, a low male voice came from behind her, "When did you get here?"

Stella turned her head and saw that Clarence had already returned.

She said, "It wasn't that long ago. Are you ... finished?"

Clarence sat next to her and pulled his tie with one hand, then pressed his brow, "No, there's still a lot

of paperwork to be done."

Seeing this, Stella asked softly, "Do you have a headache?"

"A little."

Stella said, "Shall I press it for you?"

Clarence looked at her and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Yes."

Stella was just about to get up when Clarence moved his body slightly and lay down on the sofa, with

his head on her lap.

Stella was speechless.

All right.

She reached out and gently rubbed the man's temple.

Clarence closed his eyes and rested.

After a while, after making sure he wasn't asleep, Stella whispered, "I heard that you've been working

for the Steward Group recently."

Clarence said, "Did Nathan tell you that?"

"It doesn't matter who said it." Stella paused, then said, "Why?"

"What why?"

"Steward Group and Conrad Group have been out of business for a long time. So even if Steward

Group collapsed, it wouldn't have much to do with Conrad Group. You've always been a cold-blooded

businessman who knows the pros and cons very well, so you shouldn't have done such a thing."

Clarence was speechless.

He slowly raised his eyes and stared at her with his dark eyes.

Stella felt so guilty as he looked at her that she put a hand over his eyes, "I'm giving you a massage.

You just close your eyes and enjoy."

Clarence pulled her hand down, "In your eyes, I am a cold-blooded and cruel capitalist?"

"No, I'm just asking." Stella closed his eyes for him and continued to massage him, then added, "If

you're doing it for me, there's even less need. You should know that I don't really want to get involved

with the Steward Group either."

"Are you scolding me or undermining me?"

"No, I'm complimenting you. I'm impressed by your sense of social responsibility."

"..."

After a few seconds, Clarence said, "Lyndon has made such a big mess that, to date, it's not just the

Steward Group. There are many aspects involved, and even if I'm a cold-blooded, ruthless capitalist,

there are times when I occasionally want to be a good person."

Stella was speechless.

This sounded so familiar.

She was silent for a moment before saying, "I want to be a good person too."

Clarence reopened his eyes and looking at her, then his good-looking brow furrowed slightly.

Stella continued to block his eyes with her hand, "Gee, didn't I tell you to close your eyes?"

"Did someone say something to you?"

"Not ... It doesn't matter whoever said something to me. I was seeing all those news related to Steward

Group and thought ..."

Stella felt a breath of air bottled up in her chest, which could not come up or down and made her feel

quite uncomfortable.

Without waiting for her to think of what to say, Clarence added, "You can leave that alone."

"I know. But ... I'd kind of like to be like you and occasionally be a good person."

Clarence said, "You've thought about it?"

Stella hung her head and mumbled softly, "Almost."

Since Clarence had been dealing with this, what reason did she have to avoid it?

The feeling of fighting alongside him seemed pretty good too.

Hearing what she said, Clarence sat up, cupped her chin with his long fingers, and laughed silently, "I

knew you'd do that."

Stella met his eyes and also smiled, "It means I also quite have a sense of social responsibility."
