Chapter 598

Stella’s face turned bright red, a touch of hurt in her eyes as she gave Kamron a pitiful look.

But Kamron didn’t say a word in her defense. Instead, he just looked at Elnora, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“I’ll just wait for Albert to let me know when it’s time to eat,” Stella said.

Elnora nodded. “Okay.”

With that, she closed the office door, leaving Kamron outside without another word.

Kamron had wanted to say a few more things to Elnora, but before he could even open his mouth, she shut the door right in his face.

‘She’s really an ice queen, Kamron thought to himself.

A wry smile tugged at Kamron’s lips as he finally headed toward the elevator.

Stella followed closely behind Kamron, looking up at him with hopeful eyes as she asked softly, “Kamron, will you take me with you to dinner tonight?”

Kamron nodded with a gentle smile. “Of course.”

‘If Stella wasn’t here, Albert and Elnora wouldn’t have any issues at all,’ Kamron thought to himself.

Stella’s worried expression instantly brightened at his words.

She beamed up at Kamron, her eyes shining with gratitude.

“Kamron, thank you so much for always looking out for me,” she said softly.

Kamron didn’t answer her, and he kept his gaze elsewhere.

A flicker of doubt crossed Stella’s mind.

But that worry quickly faded away.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

But she just couldn’t put her finger on what it was.

Maybe Kamron was acting this way out of consideration for Albert.

After all, he and Albert had been longtime friends.

If helping her ended up causing a misunderstanding between Kamron and Albert, that would be really

awkward.

The elevator doors slid open.

Kamron stepped inside.

Stella hurried in after him.

:

Kamron kept quiet the entire ride, not uttering a single word.

Stella tried to break the silence, her gaze a little pleading and eager to please.

All her hopes rested on Kamron now.

Only Kamron could help her win the wager.

After Kamron and Stella left, Albert stepped out of his office.

The staff in the CEO’s office were all talking about the wager between Stella and Elnora.

“How does Stella have the nerve to sign a wager with Ms. Finley? She hasn’t even found her footing in the industry yet, and the only reason anyone knows her is because of Mr. Campbell,” someone remarked.

“If she loses, she’ll be stuck working for Supernova Entertainment for the rest of her life, and her salary and profit share will be pitiful,” another added.

“Who knows? Maybe she’s just relying on Mr. Campbell, and that’s probably why she’s so bold. Plus, I heard the investor she brought in today is actually Mr. Campbell’s longtime buddy,” someone else said.

“Isn’t Mr. Campbell openly siding with Stella and helping her win the wager?” another person questioned.

“No one can say for sure what’s really going on behind the scenes,” someone else chimed in.

“But honestly, Stella’s guts are unreal. She actually dared to suggest that Ms. Finley and Mr. Campbell should get divorced as part of the wager,” someone remarked.

“Yeah, that’s just way too bold. Luckily Ms. Finley doesn’t care about Mr. Campbell at all-if she did, having an ex like Stella stirring things up would be enough to make anyone lose their mind,” another chimed in.

“Right, Elara? What do you think?” someone asked.

Elara, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly got singled out by her coworker.

She kept her eyes on her computer, nodded absently, and replied, “Yeah, sure.”

“Yeah,” Elara mumbled without looking up.

Elara had been glued to her computer for a while, and curiosity finally got the better of her coworker, who peeked over at her screen.

“Hey, what are you so busy with? That market analysis report isn’t due until next week, right? Why are you

already working on it, trying to make the rest of us look lazy?” the coworker joked.

Elara shook her head and said quickly, “I just want to get this market analysis report to Ms. Finley as soon as I

can.

“That way, we can get the most out of our artists, help them earn as much as possible, as fast as possible, and bring in more profit for the company.”

The coworker shot her a puzzled look, clearly not getting it.

Elara continued, “If the company turns a profit, Ms. Finley can finally start paying off her debt.”

Elnora owed the Campbell family a huge sum. Even though they never asked her to repay it, Elara understood exactly how much pressure Elnora felt.

It was only because of that debt that Stella got the chance to stir up trouble in front of Elnora.

After all, Stella was Albert’s ex, and because she owed the Campbell family a debt of gratitude, Elnora had no choice but to endure it.

And that meant she had to tolerate Stella’s fake sweet act, too.

If this were the old, decisive Elnora, she would never have swallowed such humiliation.

Even though Elnora never showed any sign of being upset, Elara could sense her silent endurance.

When Elara said that, the coworkers suddenly got it. Everything clicked.

‘Ms. Finley’s family background really messed things up for her,’ they thought. ‘With her skills, she could’ve married into any family and been cherished like a queen.

Albert stood in the doorway, listening to everything.

He frowned, pressing his tongue against the inside of his cheek as he remained where he was.

He’d been planning to wait until Stella and Kamron left, then head into Elnora’s office to try and clear things up with her.

But now, from the way Elnora acted, it was like he was just her creditor-nothing more.

Any explanation he had was pointless now.

Albert pressed his lips together, annoyance flickering in his eyes as he turned and headed back to his office.
