Before Jolie finished introducing herself, she and Liam looked uneasy simultaneously.
Liam was very shocked. By rights, it was impossible for Stella to know Jolie. But how did she know that her surname was Young.
When he met Stella’s eyes again, he could feel the warning in her eyes.
He quickly realized what she was thinking and told Jolie, “They’re calling you over. I have to accompany my girlfriend now.”
“Is having a girlfriend a big deal?” Jolie averted her eyes and left there reluctantly.
Liam went to coax Sherry, “Don’t be angry. She’s like that. She likes to joke around, but it’s my fault that I didn’t introduce you two to her clearly.”
Sherry moved away his hand, “I’m not angry. Never mind, you just go and accompany your friends. Don’t mind me.”
“I do not want to accompany them, of course I want to be with you.” Liam whispered something in Sherry’s ears, then he pulled her outside. Sherry walked a few steps and turned around, “Stella, wait for me for a while. I’ll be right back.”
“Okay.”
Soon after they left, Jolie approached Stella again, holding two glasses of wine in her hand, “Oops, I’m really sorry for just now. I will punish myself with a glass of wine.”
Stella said, “I don’t drink.”
Jolie retracted her hand embarrassedly, “I heard from Liam that you are a jewellery designer. You must be quite good. When are you going to design jewellery for me? I will help you to promote it to my friends so that they will come to find you to design for them.”
Stella smiled, “Nice. The price of the customized jewellery will be at least two hundred thousand Yuan. If Miss Young wants to buy, you can pay the deposit now.”
Hearing her words, Jolie’s expression slightly changed, “Two hundred thousand?”
Jolie thought that Stella was not a famous designer and she thought the jewellery would only cost ten or twenty thousand at most, but she didn’t expect that it would be at least two hundred thousand.
Stella added with a friendly tone, “This is just the design fee, not counting the cost of the materials needed to do the jewellery.”
Holding her glass, Jolie’s became a bit unfriendly, and said perfunctorily, “Then I’ll think about it.”
Just as she was about to leave, Stella’s voice came from her back, “Ms. Young, your tactic to drive a wedge between them is really nasty.”
After Stella finished her words, she did not care about her anymore and left straight away.
When she walked to the door, she met Liam and Sherry who came back from outside.
It was obvious that Sherry had been coaxed by Liam, and she asked Stella, “Stella, where are you going?”
“I’m going to the toilet.”
“Then I will accompany you.”
Hearing her words, Liam became very nervous and he hurriedly said, “Sherry, didn’t I say that I would bring you to meet my friends and colleagues? None of them have ever met you…”
Sherry looked at him strangely, “I can meet them when I come back after accompanying Stella to the toilet also right?”
Liam who was very nervous became stunned and didn’t know how to answer her question.
Stella smiled coldly when she looked at Liam’s anxious face, thinking that he was so brave to two-time Sherry and was finally afraid now when he knew that she might reveal his cheating.
Stella ignored him and only looked at Sherry, “Sherry, I’ll go by myself. I will be back in a minute.”
“Okay,” Sherry said. She warned her that the road to the bathroom was a bit slippery and asked her to be careful.
“Okay.”
After Stella left, Liam pulled Sherry to his side and complained to her, “Baby, you care more about her than me.”
