Chapter 292
His only woman?
Stella could barely contain her derision. Did Weston really think that she’d believe that? If she was his only woman, then how did Guinevere’s child come about?
Not only was Weston disrespecting her, he really took her for a fool. “I have no intention to interfere with your private affairs,” she told him, looking straight into his eyes. “You can have however many women as you please, so… can you please not interfere with my work?”
As soon as she said that, the atmosphere grew tense. The remaining warmth on Weston’s face disappeared completely and his eyes turned icy cold.
“Did you bring this whole thing up just so I would agree to let you work?” he asked, his voice brimming with threats. “Yes,” Stella admitted, bracing for the worst.
She then heard Weston’s cold, mirthless laugh.
“Go on, then,” he said. “Tell me what sort of work this is, that you’ve risked everything for.”
Stella had wanted to hide the truth for a little longer, but she could tell from his expressions that he must’ve already found out about it. If that were the case, it would be better if she come clean now to minimize the chances of him getting too angry about it.
“I’ve gone for an audition with Bradley Lane,” she confessed to him. “And I’ve been accepted too. I want to work with them starting tomorrow.”
Weston tugged at his collar and scoffed. It really was as he had surmised.
He knew all along that Stella had lied to him about going to the restroom. He assumed that it must’ve been an excuse to find a secret place to contact someone he didn’t want her in contact with. Hence, once she got into the car, he had the club’s manager show him the surveillance video.
Stella’s voice in the video was almost inaudible, but Weston could read lips and he could roughly guess what she was saying. That was when he realized that he’d been fooled by her all this time. She’d been telling him that she was going out to meet Roger at the university, but she’d actually been at a film set all along.
