When Stella woke up again, she felt her whole body feeble. She stretched lazily with her eyes closed.
Her face seemed to rub against something, and it felt like a suit jacket.
Stella twisted her neck. At the next moment, she felt a strong aura aside.
Stella then opened her eyes. When she was about to yawn, she saw the man’s jaw.
Stella was stunned for several seconds as she couldn’t figure out why she would see this scene when
she woke up. She remembered that she slept on the sofa just now.
When she gradually came to her sense, Stella finally realized what posture she had at the moment
when she saw the man’s popping Adman’s apple.
Stella abruptly sat up and widened her eyes.
Clarence closed the document and crossed his long legs, “Oh, you woke up.”
Stella asked, “Why did I sleep on your legs?”
“You should ask yourself. I have been sitting here, but why did you suddenly move here and put your
head on my legs?”
It was not the first time for Stella to witness how this man shifted the blame. It must be Clarence who
put her head on his legs when she was sleeping.
Moreover, he even…
How indecent!
Clarence leaned backwards with his arms stretched on the sofa and looked towards her, “Did you have
a good sleep?”
“I…”
“I think you must have had a good dream. What did you dream of?”
Stella denied it without a second thought, “Nothing. I didn’t dream of anything.”
Clarence curved up his lips, leaned towards her and asked in a low, husky voice, “Really? But why did
you droop just now?”
Stella hurriedly raised her hand and wiped her mouth. Only then did she realize that he was just joking.
She picked up a pillow and hit him several times.
When she was satisfied, Clarence took the pillow from her while pulling her into his arms and placing
her on his legs, “Well. Don’t you know that you love to move here and there when you’re sleeping? I
was so uncomfortable.”
“It was you who…”
Before Stella could finish the words, Clarence grasped the back of her head.
At the next second, he landed a kiss on her lips.
Stella beat her chest, but her hand was then grabbed by Clarence. Wrapping one arm around her
waist, he deepened the kiss.
When the long kiss finally ended, Stella felt a bit breathless and her eyes became a bit watery.
Clarence placed his chin on Stella’s shoulder and said in a charming voice that was so low that only
both of them could hear, “Honey, can you compensate me?”
Stella suddenly pulled herself together, “You…”
Why was he still thinking of those dirty things at this point? How shameless he was!
Clarence replied with composure, “You haven’t allowed me to make out with you for a month.”
Stella was infuriated, “Do you mean it’s my responsibility?”
“I can’t shift all the blame to you. Otherwise, you won’t be as simple as it is now.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
Oh, should she thank him?
Clarence bit her ear softly, put his palm on the back of her hand and said in a husky voice, “Hurry up.
Or shall we change a place?”
Stella struggled, yet she couldn’t withdraw the hand that was grabbed by Clarence no matter how hard
she tried.
He really deserved the nickname “wretched man”!
When it ended, Stella couldn’t raise her arm as she was so tired. She directly walked into the bathroom
to take a bath.
When she was taking a bath, someone knocked at the door of the bathroom and there came
Clarence's voice, “I put your clothes at door.”
Stella ignored him.
Clarence continued, “After a second thought, I think that you don’t need them, so I will take them
away.”
“Put them there!”
The smile on Clarence’s face became brighter as he said, “Alright. They’re at the door.”
Stella finished the bath angrily and then slightly opened the door. She reached her hand out of the door
and rummaged for her clothes. After a long while, she finally found the paper bag and then she abruptly
pulled it into the bathroom.
When she went out after changing her clothes, she found Clarence had changed his clothes and was
waiting for her at the door.
Clarence said, “Let’s go.”
Stella sat down on the sofa, “I will not go with you.”
Clarence walked to her in strides, “Go out for dinner. Let’s walk around. Didn’t you say you feel
uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time?”
“You can go first. I will go out for a walk later, alone!”
Clarence was rendered speechless.
He stooped, carried her into his arms and strode towards the door.
Stella struggled, “Let go of me!”
Clarence ignored it. He opened the door and said to Nathan who was waiting for them outside, “Take
the shoes at the door.”
When seeing this scene, Nathan widened his eyes in shock and several seconds later, he returned to
be a qualified, professional assistant who would remain composed no matter what was happening. He
received the order, picked up the unopened paper bag which had a shoebox in it near the door, closed
the door and then followed Clarence.
It was time for dinner and there were some staff on the corridor. They were on the way to sending
dishes to the guests and some guests were having dinner downstairs.
When seeing this scene, they locked their eyes on them with curiosity and gossiped about it.
In case that they would attract more attention, Stella gave up on struggling. She gritted her teeth and
said, “Didn’t you notice that other people are looking at us? Put me down!”
Clarence asked, “Don’t you know that their gazes are bearing jealousy?”
“What the heck…”
“They’re jealous of me because I’m hugging such a beautiful woman.”
Stella, who prepared to curse him, suddenly swallowed her criticism.
She was so angry, yet she wanted to chuckle. This man was so cheeky, but now he thought it was
merit and even tried to give full play of it.”
When they stopped in front of a lift, Stella finally made a compromise, “I can walk myself. Put me
down.”
Clarence turned around and gestured to Nathan with his eyes. Nathan immediately walked over with
the shoes.
After putting on the shoes, Stella tucked her messy hair and fixed her eyes on the lift. She didn’t want
to talk with him now.
The lift arrived soon.
There were two persons in the lift.
Stella couldn’t imagine how horrible and embarrassing the scene would be if Clarence refused to put
her down and carried her into the lift.
This man was sometimes annoying.
Clarence followed her into the lift.
The two girls, who were already in the lift, approached each other and whispered excitedly, “He’s drop-
dead handsome.”
“Come on. Ask him about his number.”
The girls nudged each other. After a while, one of the girls took a step forward and said to Clarence,
“Excuse me, can I have your contact method?”
Clarence turned his head to look at her. He took the phone handed by the girl and quickly entered his
number with his slender fingers.
The girl’s friend covered her mouth with excitement written all over her face.
Leaning against the wall of the lift with her arms crossed in front of her chest, Stella showed no
expression on her face.
After entering the number, Clarence returned the phone to the girl. The girl asked shyly, “Thank you.
Hmm, can you invite me to drink a…”
“This is my wife’s number. I think you will have a pleasant talk.”
Both the girl and Stella were rendered speechless.
Nathan looked up at the ceiling and sighed in his heart for the girl’s superficial understanding of that
man.
Mr. Conrad had been sharp-toned and merciless when refusing his wooers.
Right at this moment, the lift came to a halt. Clarence grabbed Stella’s wrist and left in
strides.
