Her eyes went wide with shock, and she tightened her grip on the file as she read through the top-secret information.
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe Faymon Group managed to secure this project!
After going through the file, Stella quickly put it back where she found it.
She thought her job would be a simple one when she first came here. It wasn’t until Curtis saw right through her intentions that she realized things were a lot more complicated than she had expected.
Stella’s lips curled into a faint smile as she stared at the letter “R” on the folder.
Heh… This may be a difficult task, but I enjoy a good challenge! The harder it is to conquer a man, the more I feel like accomplishing it!
“Did you manage to find it, Stella?” Gabriel asked while making his way back.
“No, there are too many files here,” Stella said with a helpless sigh.
After going through a few more stacks of files, she finally found it on the top part of the shelf. “I see it! It’s on the top! Could you get it for me?”
“Where is it?” Gabriel asked while leaning in. He glanced in the direction of her finger and retrieved the file she was pointing at.
He was handing her the file when Stella wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the lips.
Gabriel panicked so much that he didn’t even know where to place his hands.
A few seconds later, he slowly rested them on her waist and pulled her in closer.
They kissed for a really long time before letting go of each other.
Stella let out a giggle and said, “You haven’t changed a bit! You’re still spacing out all the time as you did in school!”
Gabriel blushed slightly in embarrassment. “N-Now that we’ve found the file, let’s get out of here.”
“Okay! How about we go for some Jetroinian food?” On their way out, Stella added, “Thank goodness you were here to help me find this file. Had it been someone else, they’d have asked me to get this file registered before letting me view it. They would have also limited my time in the file archive and kicked me out when the time is up!”
“There’s a reason why the people working in the file archive do that. There’s a risk of people viewing top-secret documents in there, so they need to keep a close eye on those entering. Just let me know if you ever need any files in the future.”
Stella nodded. “It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted your mother’s cooking. I kind of miss it.”
Gabriel seized the opportunity and asked, “How about coming over to my place for dinner this weekend?”
“Are you sure? I don’t want to trouble your mother.”
“Don’t worry about it! I’m sure my mom would be happy to have you over!”
Stella pursed her lips and flashed him a faint smile. “All right, then. I’ll drop by this weekend.”
As the Faymon residence was quite far away, Rayna brought Carl over to Curtis’ house instead. She was expecting to have to wait for him outside his door, as he probably wouldn’t be home just yet.
Upon arriving outside the house, however, she saw that the lights were on.
She brought Carl up to the front door and rang the doorbell.
Curtis answered the door shortly after.
He was still wearing a white dress shirt, which suggested that he had just gotten home not long ago. He froze in surprise when he saw Rayna standing at the door. “What are you doing here? Is it—”
“Hi, Mr. Curtis!” Carl cut him off before he could finish.
It wasn’t until Curtis lowered his gaze that he saw Carl standing next to her.
Carl was grinning from ear to ear as he waved at him.
