Chapter 136
Stella had nearly forgotten he existed since he hadn’t appeared in a few days. But every time he appeared, she felt bone-chilling anxiety and helplessness clinging to her. Without thinking twice, she hung up the phone. Yet before she could calm down, her phone rang once again. It was still the same familiar number.
It seemed as though he wouldn’t stop calling her as long as she didn’t respond.
She knew it wasn’t the solution, but she blocked his phone for a moment of serenity. She then left the training center without giving it any attention. Yvonne hadn’t been to work in a while, and it seemed that something had occurred at home.
Stella didn’t talk much to the others since some of them didn’t like her.
She walked straight into the elevator and walked toward the parking lot.
A familiar car drove near her and honked.
She took a closer look and found that it was Justin’s car, then her eyes flickered for a moment. She couldn’t help but hesitate as she remembered Weston’s phone call earlier. Justin stopped beside her and wound down the window. When he saw that she stood frozen in place, he asked, “What’s wrong?” She shook her head, but her face was stoic. After some time, she revealed the truth to him.” Weston called me.” When he heard this, Justin’s face sank. “Get in the car,” he urged firmly, his fingertips softly tapping on the driving wheel. “Hold on.” He stopped her after remembering something. He stepped out of the car and went beside her, opening the passenger door for her. Stella got into the car, bending slightly. Justin’s hand was on her head, keeping her from bumping into the car roof. Once she was seated, he shut the door and walked to the driver’s seat. He turned to help her buckle up when he was inside the vehicle.
Seeing that the hair beside her cheek was a little messy, he reached out to help her put it behind her ear and softly squeezed her face, saying, “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”
