The reality proved that Stella’s worry was reasonable.
When hearing the knocking sound the door, Stella pushed away the man on top of her with great force and abruptly got up and sat on the sofa.
Right at this moment, the door of the office was opened.
There came Sherry’s voice, “Stella, you…”
Sherry paused when she saw Stella sitting on the sofa with her cloth messy and her face red.
A man was sitting on the ground in front of Stella with one of his legs crossed. He looked towards Sherry while licking his teeth.
Sherry immediately sensed a dangerous signal. She hurriedly closed the door and said quickly, “Oh, it’s so weird. Why is Stella not here?”
Stella, “…”
How ridiculous!
When the door was closed, Clarence looked towards Stella and kept down his voice, “Go on?”
Stella stood up sulkily, “Go on your ass. I have to work now.”
She sat down in front of the computer, pressed the power button to turn on the computer and took out a small mirror in an attempt to refine her make-up. But when she saw her reflection in the mirror, she had an impulse to cut Clarence into pieces.
No wonder that when Sherry saw her just now, her expression became so weird.
Stella quickly smoothed her clothes, took out a tissue to wipe away the lipstick around her mouth corners and fixed her make-up.
Sitting on the safe box behind Stella, Clarence grabbed the arms of the chair and swiveled the chair to force Stella to face him, “Are you so busy with your work that you even have no time to accompany me?”
Stella put down her lipstick, “Of course I’m so busy. If I don’t work harder, those people would gossip that I depend on you to get the achievements I have today.”
Clarence raised his brows, “Is it awful to depend on me? I can give everything to you if you want.”
“Thank you. I don’t want it.”
Stella exerted some force in an attempt to revolve the chair back. But Clarence didn’t intend to loosen his grip.
Stella heaved a sigh. All right, just let it be.
She asked, “Have you eaten the breakfast?”
“Not yet.”
Stella said seriously, “Have a rest on the sofa. I will order a takeout for you. It will arrive soon.”
Clarence, “…”
Seeing his slightly pressed lips, Stella couldn’t help but chuckle, “Just a joke. I haven’t eaten yet either. Let’s go out together.”
Clarence stared at him and narrowed his black eyes dangerously, “You dare to fool me now, hmm?”
Seeing that he intended to do something to her again, Stella hurriedly dodged him. She stood up and coughed, “All right, let’s go. I’m hungry.”
Before leaving the office, Stella checked again and again to make sure that there was no weird point on her.
When she walked out of the office, she found that there were several guests in the studio. The employees didn’t stand outside of the door than. Instead, they had begun to work. But Sherry wasn’t present.
Stella guessed she was in the neighboring house.
On the way, Clarence asked her, “Did Charles come to find you?”
Stella gently nodded her head, “He negotiated with me and only gave half of the properties I required before.”
Clarence said in a flat tone, “This is like the way of doing things of that foxy man.”
“But I required Phoebe to apologize to Channing?”
“Did he agree?”
Clarence curled his lips into a smile. Before leaving, he gently kissed her forehead.
He then turned around and left. Sherry suddenly appeared. She couldn’t help but tsk, “Oh, you two begin to show affection publicly early in the morning.”
Stella’s temples thumped. She turned around and said, “You…”
Sherry hurriedly raised her hands, “I didn’t see anything. It was a comment on the TV drama I watched just now.”
Stella didn’t plan to talk about this topic with her. She pulled Sherry into the office, “I didn’t have time to ask you before. Why were you still together with Daniel late in last night? Didn’t you say that you haven’t accepted his love?”
Sherry didn’t expect that she would suddenly ask this question. A touch of unnatural emotion flashed across her face. She then sat onto the sofa and stammered, “Er… actually it’s nothing special. He sent me home and drank a glass of water at my home.”
“How could he drink until 12 o’clock?”
Sherry tried to cover it, “Nothing. It was just that we talked about poems and life.”
Stella, “...”
Sherry had an impulse to slap herself when she realized what she said just now. What the hell was she talking about?”
Stella heaved a sigh, “I have no opinion on Daniel. I just feel that you should wait for several days even though you really like him.”
Sherry hurriedly nodded her head, “I see. Rest assured. I know what I should do.”
Stella prepared to say something else and moved her lips. But she suddenly realized that their conversation now was like how Sherry persuaded her before she decided to be with Clarence.
This world was really like a circle.
When thinking of this, Stella felt it hard to persuade Sherry again.
But Sherry was spirited. She leaned forwards with excitement, “Stella, did you see the news on the Internet? They’re all scolding at Phoebe. I felt so excited when I browsed the comments. After seeing those comments, I finally realized how gentle I was when I scolded at other people. I was not mean enough. But I learned from those people and now I will continue to criticize her. Phoebe must have not expected this. The public image that she took great efforts to build before was ruined overnight. This is the karma!”
Seeing this, Stella also took out her phone and sent a message to Donald.”
