“Say.” The tone was cold, simple and direct.
While holding the earpiece, Stella licked her lips before speaking cautiously, “I just found out that my…antacid is missing, I don’t know if I’ve left it in your office…”
“No.”
After Clarence finished, he did not wait for her to speak again and hung up the phone without hesitation.
Stella was speechless.
It was fine if he did not have. Why did he have to be so fierce, what a wretched man.
Stella was lying on the bed. Although she deliberately said that the folic acid was antacid, if it was really left there, with the function of folic acid, the wretched man would definitely criticize her for having wishful thinking.
But even if the situation was like this, Stella was still a little worried. She did not manage to sleep soundly that night. When she woke up the next morning, she went to the café and restaurant she went to yesterday to ask but the staff of both places said that they did not see it.
She could only hope that it was left on the road.
Stella was not free in the afternoon. She made a few appointments to look at some houses and was preparing to sign a contract to move out when she saw the suitable one.
…
In the Conrad Group.
Clarence looked up from a pile of documents. He coldly gazed at the IOU and folic acid placed next to him. He suddenly sneered.
She surprisingly said that it was antacid.
Clarence’s thin lips were pursed. After a long time, he took out his phone, found the number that Stella called her last night, and called back.
He wanted to see how would Stella look like when she received the bottle of folic acid in front of him. He also wanted to see what kind of fresh excuses she could use.
After the call was answered, a gentle female voice sounded, “Welcome, you’re calling Cloud Top Hotel, how may I help you?”
Clarence’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Hotel?
Wasn’t she staying at her friend’s house, why did she go to the hotel.
Thinking of a certain possibility, Clarence’s face instantly turned cold. A thin layer of coldness was covering his eyes.
After hanging up the phone, he got up and strode out of the office.
When he walked to the door, he walked back to pick up the folic acid on the table and put it in his shirt pocket.
Seeing him coming out, Nathan hurriedly followed him, “Mr. Conrad…”
Clarence’s tone was slightly cold, “Go to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine.”
“Yes.”
Halfway through the journey, Nathan received a call and his expression was somewhat gloomy, “Mr. Conrad, the members of the Jason family has gone to the Conrads’ Mansion and I hear that they are going to discuss the marriage of Mr. Jason and Miss Conrad.”
No emotions could be found on Clarence’s facial features that were fully covered with coldness. He spoke only after a few seconds, “Go back.”
The Rolls-Royce made a turn and moved in the direction of the Conrads’ Mansion.
…
In addition to Horace’s parents, the people who came to the Conrad family this time also included Phoebe.
The Steward family and the Conrad family had been friends for generations. Phoebe was gentle, quiet and well-educated so Joanna liked her very much.
After greeting the elders, Phoebe knew that she was not suitable to stay on such an occasion, “Auntie and uncle, I’ve found some classical music records abroad this time. Justin will certainly like them, I’ll take them to him.”
Joanna said while smiling, “Go ahead, he’s in the garden. You guys haven’t seen each other for long, he’ll definitely be jubilant to see you.”
This was originally a matter between Annie and Horace so logically, Annie’s marriage should be decided by her parents as she was only the daughter of Joanna’s younger sister and even though she had changed her last name to Conrad, she was still not a real member of the Conrad family.
However, both families knew very well that Annie was not important. What really needed to be accomplished this time was the marriage between the Conrad family and the Jason family.
