Chapter 644
She had assumed that he’d been really busy at work today, which was why he came home late at night.
But in fact, he’d been accommodating two women simultaneously while handling a multi-billion dollar project. Stella had to begrudgingly admit that he was a rather impressive man.
She shook her head, wondering why she’d waste her time thinking about all these meaningless things. She picked up her phone and called Roger.
“Sis?” he answered almost instantly.
“Roger,” she replied as she got into the car. “I heard that you came looking for me on set. Why didn’t you call me first?”
Roger had just come out of the cafeteria, with Riley close on his heels. He was initially delighted to see that Stella was calling him, but hearing her question made him pause.
“I was planning to give you a surprise,” he explained,“ but you weren’t there, unfortunately. Anyway, where do you stay right now? Can you give me your address? That way, I can go straight to your house when I want to meet you next time.”
“You should let me know in advance next time you’re coming on set,” she told him. “I’m not the boss there. If you show up suddenly and go straight to Bradley Lane like that again, you might cause delays for the shooting.” “But Bradley Lane didn’t seem to mind…”
“He was just being polite,” argued Stella. “You shouldn’t take advantage of people just because they are being gracious to you.” “Okay,” Roger relented. “I got it…”
“Have you finished your classes yet?”
“One more lecture, and I’m done for the day.”
“Great! I’ll go see you later then. I’m done with filming for the day myself.”
“Really?” Roger’s eyes lit up. “I’ll be waiting for you then!”
