Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Feeling Terrified

Stella was abruptly stunned.

She would automatically be on her guard whenever she heard Daniel's voice, staring at the latter vigilantly.

Daniel got close and saw her demeanor, so he inevitably chuckled. He first turned to look at Annie at the side. "You can get off work now. But Stella stays."

Hence, Annie had to leave first. While leaving, she turned to look at Stella in worry.

Everyone knew Daniel's ulterior motives toward Stella.

Of course, one wondered if he was harboring any schemes by detaining her alone.

Annie stopped when she reached the door of the company.

Based on the company's rules, the employees had to submit an emergency contact to the company and their partners as precaution. Annie remembered that Stella submitted Liam, her husband's contact number when they went on a business trip together the other day...

Annie found Liam's number on her phone. After a brief hesitation, she texted him.

...

Daniel smiled cunningly at Stella in the office.

"You're indeed my junior." He sized her up. "Our company failed to reach an agreement with the Wilson family after so many years but you managed to hand in your marketing proposal to them right away. Humph! You're awesome!"

Stella wore an indifferent expression. "Mr. Clark, do you ask me to stay to say that?"

"Of course not." Daniel cleared his throat. "There's a dinner party tonight. Go with me!"

Stella shot him a disdainful stare.

However, Daniel grinned unconcernedly.

He knew that Stella hated that kind of occasion the most. But he used it to disgust her.

Since he could not win her over, he would use her as a stepping stone to help him.

"Alas, I didn't want to invite you." Daniel smiled sinisterly. "But you're the only pretty woman in this company. Sometimes it's troublesome for women to be so pretty!"

"I'm sorry. I can't go," Stella refused him coldly. "My husband is still waiting for me at home. I have to..."

"Do you want to go back and cook for him?" Stella scoffed. "Can't your husband take care of himself?"

"Daniel, watch your tongue." Stella glared at him. "It's none of your business whether my husband can take care of himself or not. If you dare to provoke me again, he'll beat you up until you can't take care of yourself!"

Daniel's face turned gloomy as he fell silent.

"After all, Mr. Thompson requested you to join the party. I just passed the message along. If you refuse to go and offend the client, our company won't tolerate you anymore!"

After that, he left. Stella watched his back fiercely while gritting her teeth.

After all, it was related to her work. Even if she was reluctant, she had to compromise for the time being.

So, Stella texted Liam and rushed toward Universe Hotel reluctantly.
