Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 82

The banquet was reserved in a famous restaurant that sold the local specialties. When Stella arrived downstairs, she saw Alexander who was waiting for her at the entrance.

She looked over and Alexander also saw her. Waving at her, he said, “Stella, over here.”

Stella walked over. “I’m sorry, but there was traffic on the way. I’m a bit late.”

Alexander rubbed his head shyly as if he still felt a bit embarrassed for what happened last night. “It’s alright. Mr. Conrad hasn’t arrived yet. It’s cold outside. Let’s get in.”

Alexander took Stella to a private box, in which there were a few managers from his company, who were all senior executives. Alexander introduced Stella to them one after another.

After the introduction, Alexander’s direct manager said with a smile, “I’ve heard Alex mention you a lot of times, Ms. Radomil. You are really gorgeous.” As he spoke, he patted Alexander on the shoulders and whispered in his ear, “How lucky you are!”

Alexander smiled shyly.

Other executives might have heard Stella’s name as well, so they started echoing and praising Alexander, putting on a lot of good words for him.

In such a circumstance, Stella couldn’t retort for the sake of their dignities. Moreover, she had made it clear to Alexander last night. Hence, she echoed, “Yeah. Mr. Hans is a nice man.”

As soon as she finished her words, the private box suddenly quieted down.

Alexander’s direct manager rushed over to the door of the box. “Good evening, Mr. Conrad.”

Stella was speechless.

Other executives also followed over and greeted Clarence.

Clarence responded to them indifferently. Finally, he gazed at Stella.

One of the executives said, “Mr. Conrad, this is Stella, living in Anqiao Street. She’s also Alex’s neighbor.”

Clarence hummed. Then he bypassed her and walked into the box.

The executive coughed and followed him. “Mr. Conrad, please sit here.”

At the round table, Clarence was sitting in the host’s seat. Next to his both sides were sitting the most senior executives, and others sat sequentially.

Stella was sitting next to Alexander.

During the dinner, Alexander noticed that Stella almost didn’t eat anything, so he kept picking up food for her. “Stella, try this. This is the most famous local specialty here. It’s quite tasty.”

Stella raised her head and smiled at him. “Thank you.”

“You are welcome.” As he spoke, Alexander picked up another dish for her. “This is good, too. Try it.”

Wondering if it was an illusion, Stella could feel a cold gaze on her. She didn’t feel quite cozy.

However, when she raised her head, she could only see Clarence talking business with a man next to him and looking quite normal.

Stella rubbed her nose. She mocked herself for her illusion that Clarence was gazing at her. She must have overthought.

Right then, Alexander’s direct manager said, “Alex, you can’t only take care of Stella. We’re all watching you.”

Although he sounded like blaming Alexander, he was kidding.

Alexander picked up his glass and stood up. “I’m terribly sorry. Please allow me to punish myself with a glass of wine.”

For some reason, they started making toasts.

Stella was sitting there, feeling too bored to keep sober.

Right then, someone suddenly suggested, “Stella, come on. Let’s have a toast.”

Stella returned to her senses, only to find a man opposite her was talking to her. She was about to speak, Alexander chimed in, “Excuse me, Mr. Brown. Stella can’t drink. How about I’ll drink it for her?”

Probably everyone had drunk a lot, the man was a bit drunk. He said, “Gee, what’s so fun to drink with a man. Stella, I’m not making trouble for you. Just one drink. I’ll bottom up. Just suit yourself.”
