Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 341

Stella came back to her senses, smiling at her, “Nothing.”

Sherry picked up the drafts, “I’m taking off then. Call me if you need anything.”

“Sure. Please go ahead.”

In the morning, when Stella went to the lounge for water, a girl timidly approached her. She whispered, “Excuse me, Stella. May I ask you a question, please?”

Stella’s hand shook when she heard her question. Subconsciously, she recalled the embarrassing scene in the morning.

She put down the water glass, turned around, and smiled faintly, “Of course. Please go ahead.”

“Well...” The girl was a bit hesitant as if she didn’t know how to start.

Stella wasn’t rushing at all, waiting for her patiently.

After a while, the girl said, “Stella, do you still remember all the customers that have been to our studio? I meant the mid-aged men in their forties and fifties, who looked quite rich with strong charisma.”

Stella was confused, “Why do you suddenly ask me about them?”

The girl exhaled, “Yesterday, the man who came here should be your father, right?”

Stella pressed her lips, hinting at the girl to go on.

“When I saw him, he reminded me of another man. They are extremely similar to each other in terms of charisma. The other man should have been to our store before, but I couldn’t recall who he was. I thought about it for a whole night but failed to ring the bell. Stella, please don’t mind me. I have OCD since I was a child. I couldn’t let go a matter unless I’ve figured it out.”

Stella smiled, “It’s alright. I’m like that sometimes as well.”

The girl said, “There are so many customers to our store every day. I don’t think you could remember the man either. But, it’s alright. I’m just asking.”

If she had asked Stella such a question earlier, Stella might not have any impression.

However, the whole morning today, she kept thinking about such a man.

Hence, when the girl mentioned it, Stella knew who she was referring to.

However, Charles and William were quite different.

Charles deliberately pretended to be gentle and elegant. After so many years, it almost had become a thick mask on his face, which had merged with him. He never easily exposed his emotions.

William was born a gentleman. However, Stella agreed with Clarence - William was a businessman and he should have his schemes and purposes when doing things.

These two men were like each other to a certain extent. However, if they were looked closer, they were completely different.

Stella said, “I’m sure there should be such a man. I have such an impression as well.”

Upon hearing her confirmation, the girl exhaled, “Exactly! That was what I believed. When I asked others, they didn’t believe me at all. Good, there’s such a man indeed. It means that it wasn’t my illusion at all. Stella, I’m going back to work now.”

“Okay.”

Back to her office, Stella pulled out her cell phone. After thinking for a long while, she dialed Emmett’s number, “Hello, Emmett. Are you quite busy now?”

“Not really. What’s up?”

Stella whispered, “Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?”

Without any hesitation, Emmett said yes.

After they made the appointment, Stella picked up her bag and left the studio after informing other girls.

Sitting in the car, when Stella had just inserted the key, she thought of something.

Emmett felt amused, “Stella, you should know that man.”

Before Stella reacted, he continued, “In the series of things that happened to the Steward family, Mr. Conrad has done no less than what we did.”

Emmett added, “In fact, Charles Steward has operated Steward Group very well, but in secret, he has done a lot of things that couldn’t be disclosed at all. Hence, he has a lot of enemies. Besides, in business, there’s no eternal friend at all. Only the interests exist.”

Stella seemed to have expected that he wouldn’t tell the truth, and she didn’t insist. Instead, she slightly smiled.

Right then, the waiter served the coffee.

It ended their conversation.

Emmett started another subject in time, “I heard that you’ve joined the designer contest. How’s your preparation going?”

Stella nodded, “Not bad. It’s still the preliminary contest phase now. I still have to wait and see what happens next.”

“You have the capability. You should have become famous worldwide. It’s just...”

“Let the bygones be bygones.”

Emmett heaved a sigh in secret, “Right. Let the bygones be bygones.”

However, some could be bygones, but some couldn’t be.

After they bid each other farewell, Emmett called her, “Wait, Stella.”

Stella turned around, “Yes?”

“You...” Emmett pressed his lips, “If possible, don’t good into Charles Steward’s background. He’s more dangerous than you’ve imagined.”
