Stella hurriedly walked into the elevator.
Roger watched her go. After a long while, he finally retracted his gaze and turned to leave. When she
arrived at the training center, Yvonne immediately greeted her with an anxious look. “Ella, you’re back!
Are you alright?”
She looked very worried. Before Stella could say anything, Yvonne grabbed her arm and observed her
carefully. She was relieved to see that Stella was safe and unhurt. “You scared
me!”
“What’s wrong?” Stella looked at her in confusion.
Yvonne sighed. “I heard all about last night. That man is too unreliable! How dare he send you to a
place like Lowe Garden!”
She knew what Lowe Garden was like. There were times when Lucas had to go there for social
engagements.
Her beloved Lucas was a very loyal man. He was restrained and cold to women outside. Whenever he
came back from there, however, a little scent would occasionally linger on him
Lucas claimed he had never touched a woman outside. However, even if he did not have the slightest
contact with anyone there, it was hard to avoid some smell sticking onto you in such an environment
like that.
The place was catered to the wealthy. They came in expensive clothes, valuable watches, and luxury
cars that normal people could never afford. This did not mean that they were all nice people. Most were
two-faced and loved to have affairs.
A woman like Stella would surely suffer at a place like that. When Yvonne found out about that,
blamed herself for not keeping a good watch.
Stella comforted her, “I’m fine. Look, I came to work well, didn’t I?”
“I’m glad you’re fine. Otherwise, I’d tear Smith into pieces!”
Yvonne knew a little about Smith’s situation. She knew he had a daughter in school who needed a
dance tutor, so she introduced Stella to him.
She thought he would not do anything absurd since it was introduced by an acquaintance. She never
expected his assistant to make such a mistake!
“Do you know who messed up your contact information? It’s his assistant. Mr. Smith is known to have
affairs outside. His assistant is also his mistress. She’s just a pretty bimbo that’s useless and brainless!
I’ve called and scolded him. Mr. Smith has fired that assistant…”
Stella felt warm seeing Yvonne kept talking about it. It had been a long time to feel such warmth from
others other than Roger.
When Yvonne had finished, Stella said solemnly, “Thank you.”
Stella’s tone was so serious and made Yvonne a little embarrassed. “Why are you thanking me? It was
my negligence. You’re working for me. If something happens, it’s my responsibility.”
Then, Yvonne suddenly remembered one more thing. “By the way, do you still want to be a tutor for Mr.
Smith’s daughter? He called me and suggested making an appointment. If you agree, he’ll send
someone to pick you up. The same situation won’t happen again.” Stella thought she would have lost
the job opportunity after this incident. She did not expect such a turnaround.
“It’s okay. Ask him to give me the address. I’ll take a taxi there.”
“You don’t want a free ride? Why are you so nice!” Yvonne looked at her disapprovingly.
The two talked and laughed. When Stella walked through the corridor, she noticed someone was
staring at her. She
followed the gaze and saw Tina’s face.
Tina realized that Stella had noticed her. She hurriedly lowered her head and snorted.
Stella said nothing and retracted her gaze. Yvonne noticed Stella’s strange reaction and asked, “Are
you okay?” Stella shook her head. “I’m fine.” She checked the time. “My class is starting. See you
later.” “Alright.”
