“Getting pregnant is a good thing, get…” Sherry reacted and instantly widened her eyes. “The baby’s that bastard’s?”
“Yeah.”
“Damn! Then what are you going to do? Tell him?”
Stella shook her head and said, “No, we’re going to divorce anyway.” Sherry paused and asked, “Then…are you going to keep the child?” Stella fell into silence and did not know how to answer. Her instant reaction when she knew she was pregnant was to abort the child. Yet she had pondered for a very long time when she got back. The child in her tummy should not be involved in the resentment between her and Clarence.
Every time she closed her eyes, she felt like she had travelled back in time to three years ago, when the child’s life slowly drained away from her body. She did not want to experience that kind of feeling again. Yet, if she kept it…Stella answered, “I don’t know, let’s see after some time.”
Sherry could tell she refused to discuss about that matter any longer, she then digressed with a cheerful look, “Oh yes, I want to tell you a good news. The necklace and ring from the “first love” series produced have received all praises from the magazine, many have started to place orders themselves, they would be extremely popular when going into the market. What’s left now is the bracelet…There is less than one week left until the press conference, do you think you’ll make it?”
“Yes, it would be finished in three days at most.”
Sherry heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Since you’re pregnant now, could you still make the product? After all, the usage of chemicals is unavoidable during production, why don’t you let the agency shop do the job?”
“It’s okay, I can wear mask and gloves.”
“Do be careful, tell me if you have any difficulty.”
Stella smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
After going out of the bathroom, Stella held her phone and hesitated for a very long time. She then finally called Clarence’s number. The call was picked up after a while, and Vivian’s complacent voice was heard. “Mr. Conrad is now with me. Stop seeking embarrassment.”
“Oh.” Stella hung up without hesitance.
Meanwhile, Clarence was walking out the washroom. Seeing Vivian trying to put his phone back into his clothes, he went there and took over his clothes, asking indifferently, “Did someone call?” Vivian replied with an evasive look, “No, no…” Clarence took his phone and saw the call history from Stella one minute ago.
He looked up and glanced at Vivian. Vivian spoke, “Mr. Conrad, Stella Ramodil asked where are you, I knew you don’t want to see her, therefore I use some excuses to dismiss her, I didn’t say anything more.” Clarence kept his phone away and did not care for the brainless little tricks she used at all.
Just then, his business partner came while smiling from ear to ear. “Mr. Conrad, luckily you’ve not left. I’ve booked a cabin at the Twilight Club, let’s have fun there.” Clarence replied, “Miss Sean is the main one involved in this collaboration, I’ll not go now, please enjoy yourselves.” Vivian quickly said, “Mr. Conrad…” Clarence nodded at the business partner and left with large strides.
