Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417

The room was dimly lit while the curtains were closed, seemingly out of concern of disturbing Stella’s sleep. 

She rubbed her eyes, shrugged off her blanket, and rose to her feet. 

The instant she left the breakroom, someone promptly approached her. “Ah! You’re awake, Miss Steele.” 

Hearing Ben’s voice, Stella paused for a moment before looking at him. “How did I get here?” 

“You fell asleep in the car, so Mr. Ford carried you up here.” 

Stella was naturally acquainted with Ben, since he was the one who had taken care of matters when she and Roger Sealey assumed new identities. It was obvious that Weston trusted him very much, or he would not have left her with Ben. Taking a seat on a couch and having a drink, she asked, “Is Weston having a meeting?” “Yes,” Ben replied. “However, he will probably be done soon, and he is hoping to go home with you.” 

With that, Ben passed her a tablet, obviously having arranged something for her to do in the meantime. “You can ask me directly if you have any request. Everyone in the secretaries’ office outside are people that Mr. Ford trusts, so you don’t have to feel constrained.” Stella nodded, but she still felt uncomfortable since she did not expect Weston to take her to his office. Was he really not worried that others would find out? However, Ben seemed to read her mind, and assured her, “You don’t have to worry too much, Miss Steele–just leave it to Mr. Ford.” 

Still, Ben found sympathy for the harshness of her situation even as he watched her.
