Chapter 71 Watching Liam
"But Mr. Christopher, I found that..."
Eric wanted to talk about the emerald ring, but halfway through the conversation, Christopher's phone rang. His subordinate handed it to him and gave Eric a warning look. Eric shut up at once.
Christopher slowly got up to answer the call and came back after a while.
After he returned, he glanced at Eric coldly, "You can go now."
"Mr. Christopher?"
"Noah is in Mintwale, Bramore!" Christopher lost his patience totally, "He's going to Linton tomorrow, and to Praville the day after tomorrow! Where the hell do you get this wretched information?"
He threw all the documents about Liam into the air. The pages scattered like snowflakes.
Eric was startled, and then Christopher's subordinate showed him a video. The person in the video had his back to the camera, but one could see easily that the person was dressed in luxurious clothes.
The background in the video was Abbott Square, the landmark of Mintwale.
"This... is impossible!"
"What's impossible?" Christopher rolled his eyes at him, "I would have known the back of Noah's head even if it had been pressed into a meatloaf! Besides, he will go to Abbott Square to feed the pigeons whenever he's free. It has been his habit since childhood!"
Eric swallowed what he wanted to say with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Could he have really made a mistake? It was true that there were tens of thousands of people who look alike in this world. Apart from that, knowing Noah taste, how could it be possible for Noah to marry Stella?
But that ring was too suspicious...
"Go back to Eldoria if there's nothing else!" Christopher said impatiently, "Don't act as if I have helped you a lot in front of people! Remember, we don't know each other! Sir Martinez has his eyes on me now, and I'm so annoyed, with no idea how to solve my own problems!"
"Yes." Eric bowed obediently.
"One more thing." With a cold gaze, Christopher thought for a moment and commanded slowly, "As for Liam Anderson, keep an eye on him, and report to me in time if there is anything."
Eric nodded and went out, then quickly disappeared into the night.
...
Stella's life was much better now at work without Benjamin Thompson and Daniel Clark.
As for Ava Brown, her status plummeted without Benjamin's support in the board of directors. Colleagues who usually did not have a good relationship with her all kicked her when she was down now to vent their long-suppressed resentment.
At a recent meeting of the company, the board of directors announced that Ava would be dismissed from her position as supervisor, and Stella would take over.
Stella moved into Ava's former office. She was filled with emotions and sat there in a daze without responding to Annie's knocks on the door. She came to her senses only when Annie walked in and stood in front of her.
"What's the matter? You look distracted!" Annie put the documents in front of her, and said with a chuckle, "Boss, please sign!"
Stella smiled, went through it quickly, and signed at the end.
Since she became a supervisor, she had to sign a lot of documents every day. She felt strongly of the great responsibility on her shoulders and did not dare to be negligent at any moment.
"I don't think you look well." Annie looked at her worriedly, "Are you too tired recently?"
"I'm very busy with work." Stella smiled lightly, "I didn't know this before, but now that I'm in Ava's position, I have come to understand that it's not easy to be a supervisor actually!"
"Of course, position is associated with responsibility! The higher the position, the greater the responsibility!"
"By the way, Stella," Annie whispered, "don't take those rumors in the company lately to your heart..."
Stella became suspicious, but she could not figure out what was suspicious about Eric.
"I think Mr. Smith is very interested in you."
Stella was tidying up the room at home. She could hear the sound of Liam boxing on the balcony from time to time.
She stopped what she was doing and looked over there in a daze. The sun was setting, and the last clouds were doing their best to sprinkle the golden glow on the earth.
Liam punched hard blow after blow in this glow.
His naked upper body was clearly muscular. Sweat was dripping down his firm chest. His already handsome facial features became a little more severe and macho.
Stella was suddenly reminded of Apollo, the god of war in Greek mythology. Apollo walking forth in the sunlight would look exactly like this, wouldn't he?
"Honey, what did you just say?"
Stella was stunned for a moment, then looked down shyly. Her little face flushed.
"Oh, it's nothing." She walked up to Liam lightly, helped him take off his gloves dexterously and removed the sweaty bandage.
Liam caressed her hair. His eyes were full of tenderness. If he was not covered in sweat, he would like very much to hug her and bully her on the sofa...
"By the way," Stella suddenly remembered what she wanted to tell him, "I think I better tell you about what happened just now."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"It's about Eric Smith." She frowned slightly, "Honey, he's a bit strange. He's been constantly asking me about you lately!"
Liam's eyes turned gloomy. He held the removed bandage in his hand and kneaded it into a ball.
