In the elevator, Joe, who was standing next to Grace, stole a glance at Stella.
Stella stood upright as she stared at the changing floor numbers on the display screen.
She looked even fairer than when she appeared on TV, as if she was glowing with whiteness. Her face without makeup looked more natural with a hint of vulnerability, making her even more striking.
Joe secretly took out his phone, snapped a side profile of Stella, and sent it to someone with the nickname “Stella’s Ex-Husband.” The text said: [Hey, I got a new girlfriend.] In the General Manager’s office at Vinci Rivera, Keegan rested his chin on his hand as he scanned through the data on the computer screen. However, his mind was elsewhere.
He wondered if things went smoothly on Stella’s side. From what he knew about her, she could probably handle the situation well. With that young man’s help on her side and the fact that she was always able to put up a front, he figured that she would be fine.
Humans are truly strange creatures. When they were married, and Stella was a devoted stay-at-home wife, Keegan thought it would be good for her to have a job so that she could interact more with the outside world, regardless of her income.
However, he always said the opposite of what he meant, and things between them always ended badly.
