Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 

She became famous once and for all, but people would never see her again. Chris excitedly asked over the phone, “Estelle, who the hell is your uncle?” Estelle’s eyebrows arched in surprise as she asked, “What do you mean?” 

Chris laughed, “Yesterday afternoon, I went back to Barry’s to get something, but their security guards stopped me from going in. They said their boss was furious and wanted us to compensate for all the losses or they would sue us. However, after just one night, my friend called me over, and their boss was personally waiting for me at the company entrance. His attitude was unbelievably good. Not only did he waive the compensation, but he also doubled the original pay for the painting job, saying it was for our mental anguish.” He chuckled incredulously, “My parents didn’t know about this, so it must have been your uncle’s help. And Annetta’s situation coming to light probably was due to your uncle as well. He’s really awesome!” 

Estelle replied, “Some people went too far, and it was time for karma to catch up.” 

Chris laughed heartily, “Anyway, it’s all thanks to your uncle. Pass my gratitude to him. Oh, and Barry’s boss gave us 20,000. We agreed to split it evenly. I’ll give you the money later. If it’s okay, I’ll treat you and your uncle to dinner tonight.” 

Estelle smiled lightly, “How about another day? I already have plans to treat a friend to dinner, and my uncle has something going on tonight too.” 

Chris immediately replied, “Then, I’ll treat you and your friend, and we can have dinner with your uncle another time! Let’s make it a deal. See you tonight!” 

And with that, he hung up. 

When Estelle was about to head out, Emily was setting up breakfast. She said, “Come on, I made your favorite sandwich.” 

Estelle laughed, “Someone wants to treat us to dinner tonight. Are you available?” 

Emily looked up in surprise, “What friend?” 

Estelle took a sip of her milk. “The classmate who was painting with me. We got our pay today, so he’s treating.” 

Emily replied “Sure!” and then smiled slyly, “Does he like you?” 

Estelle took a composed bite of her sandwich and replied casually, “No.” 

Emily playfully teased her, “Don’t be so sure. Why else would he be so attentive?” 

Estelle shook her head and brushed off the notion, “You’re overthinking it!” 

Observing that Estelle was not entertaining the idea of any romantic feelings, Emily chuckled and said, “Alright then, I’ll return early in the afternoon.” 

In the evening, Estelle and Emily arrived on time at the agreed–upon restaurant, Serenity Heights. Emily looked up and sighed, “The food here is expensive. Is your classmate going to spend all his earnings on this?” 

Having spent a few days with Chris, Estelle knew that his parents were both business people, and their family was not short on money. They took on the painting job purely to pass the time.
