Chapter 41 How Well Do You Know Your Husband?
Mia's expression changed, and her gaze toward Stella became different.
She really didn't expect this!
If she put herself in Stella's shoes, she would definitely prioritize her own selfishness.
After all, she wasn't a saint.
"It seems that I lack the most basic judgment of human nature!" Mia smiled and said, "Stella, you're usually quiet, but your speech makes a lot of sense!"
"My judgment may not always be correct." Stella chuckled. "But Liam told me that one should never let their guard down and should always be cautious. He also said that those who hold high positions have gone through a very difficult process to get there, so they are far from being as simple as they appear."
"Oh, so has your husband become your life mentor?"
Mia originally meant it as a teasing remark, but Stella couldn't stop boasting about her husband.
"Of course, Liam knows so much!" Stella couldn't hide her pride. "Mia, you know what? I often see him browsing foreign websites. He can read several languages, and he is interested in current politics and economics!"
"What?" Mia also found it unbelievable.
Thinking back to when she first met Liam, she could feel the imposing pressure and strong aura emanating from him. If she didn't know that he had been in fights and even been to jail, she would have thought he was an extraordinary figure.
"Stella, how much do you know your husband?"
Stella was taken aback. "Why are you asking this?"
Mia smirked and said, "Just casual conversation! You make him sound so amazing, so I'm curious about him now!"
Stella smiled innocently, but then she realized that she didn't know much about Liam. Besides knowing about his "glorious past" and that he had no family, she didn't know much else.
......
The next day, as soon as Stella went to the office, she was called into Benjamin's office.
Stella felt a bit uneasy, but Benjamin smiled kindly at her and asked his secretary to bring her coffee. He sat across from her, calmly observing her.
"So you're Stella." Benjamin chuckled. "I've heard that there's a talented person in the Sales Department who secured a deal with Mr. Davis in just the second month of joining the company. I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got the chance!"
"Mr. Thompson, you flatter me." Stella put down her coffee cup, maintaining a confident attitude. "Actually, you can meet me whenever you want. But you're usually busy, and my performance in the Sales Department is not particularly outstanding."
Benjamin squinted his eyes and scrutinized her from head to toe again.
Stella not only looked beautiful but also spoke properly. Her few sentences were flawless. She didn't embarrass him, nor did she show off her achievements. She was indeed a talented individual.
