Chapter 167
But Joyce was not afraid of Stella. She was just taken aback by her look. She’d never seen Stella acting so cold before…
What was going on with her? What had happened in Yvonne’s office? Why had she changed so much after that?
Stella had enough time to calm herself down that afternoon. She was a dance teacher, after all. Teaching the children was still the most important thing in her life.
When it was almost time to get off work, Stella checked the time on her phone. It was the first time that she resented leaving work. She couldn’t go home now, so she gave her brother a call to tell him that she would be on a business trip for a while.
Yvonne happened to pass by when she was telling Roger she couldn’t go home. She stopped and stared at Stella in dismay.
Stella hung up the phone and turned around to leave, only to bump into Yvonne who was looking at her with a strange expression.
Yvonne looked down at her shoes when their eyes met and said nothing. Stella was about to walk away, but Yvonne suddenly spoke. “You know,” she whispered in Stella’s ear, “If you need me to tell a white lie, just ask. I’ll help
you.”
