Stella had no idea the hotel belonged to Shaw Group, nor did she know about this employee rule.
“Miss Shaw, Mr. Shaw dotes on you so much!” the students gushed, envious almost to tears.
Getting paid to spoil the boss‘ little sister–with a bonus boost? Who wouldn’t want this job?
The coldness in Stella’s heart seemed to be filled up in just one day.
She’d offered to treat everyone, but in the end, the manager said she could get a free pass with just her face.
She called Frederick, who said in a domineering yet gentle tone, “Spoiling my little sister is only right.”
His words melted the somewhat emotionally detached Stella. When she hung up, there was a smile on her ips.
Text the group to let me know when you’re safely back at school,” she told the students.
As she reached the hotel entrance, Stella didn’t expect to run into Sienna.
The students immediately stepped in front of her, shielding her tightly. “What do you want?”
ealousy blazed in Sienna’s eyes.
The girl beside her, Seraphina Thorne, stared at Stella without blinking. So this is the girl Elias likes? She’s nothing special.
‘Sienna, we won’t let you hurt Miss Shaw!” one student shouted.
Sienna sneered. “You’re in my way.”
She linked arms with Seraphina and walked inside.
‘Miss Shaw, we’ll walk you home! Just in case that woman loses her temper,” a student offered.
Warmth touched Stella’s heart. “Don’t worry, I have bodyguards with me.”
Only then did the students feel reassured and leave.
Seraphina’s face crossed Stella’s mind. A stranger, yet she felt hostility from her.
She didn’t dwell on it–she’d deal with whatever came her way.
In their private room, Sienna turned to Seraphina. “Seraphina, can you take me to Mr. Cross‘ seventieth birthday banquet?”
Seraphina narrowed her eyes. She didn’t want to take Sienna–after all, the Cross family wouldn’t welcome her. It would be a thankless task.
But she knew what Sienna was up to. Spiking drinks? How ridiculous. Does this woman really think she’s worthy of

Elias?
Still, if Sienna wanted to drug someone, she didn’t mind playing the victim.
“Sure,” she agreed.
“Thank you!” Sienna said eagerly.
Seraphina smiled faintly. “No heart–saving pills at the auction these past few days?”
‘No,” Sienna frowned. That’s what Aaron wanted most.
‘Seraphina, why did you suddenly decide to stay in Azure Peak City long–term?”
‘I heard Master Celeste is in Azure Peak City. I want to apprentice under her.”

Once she did, heart–saving pills would be as easy to make as candy. Currying favor with Aaron was her first step into the Cross family.
Isn’t Master Celeste a pharmacist? I thought you studied painting?” Sienna asked.
Seraphina didn’t answer, and Sienna didn’t press.
Sienna thought. Ever since I fell on hard times, everyone has looked down on me.
Vait until I get pregnant with Elias‘ child–then we’ll see who dares to give me attitude!
At Imperial Crest Towers, Stella used her fingerprint to unlock the door. She walked into Elias‘ home and placed the takeout she’d brought on the dining table.
she tiptoed up to the second floor. As soon as she opened the bedroom door, a fist came flying at her from he darkness. She dodged slightly, bent down quickly, circled behind him, and wrapped her arms around
is neck.
Elias realized it was her and stopped his fist just in time.
Her playful voice whispered in his ear. “Handsome, let me steal a kiss.”
A smile tugged at his lips. “Granted.”
Stella blinked in surprise. Before she could react, he grabbed her hands, lifted them up to free himself, pushed her against the wall, and kissed her.
In the darkness, all her senses heightened. The sound of their heartbeats mingled with the intimate rustle
of movement.
The temperature in the bedroom rose steadily.
Suddenly, she felt herself lifted off the ground. Thud–she landed as if on a trampoline.
The bright moonlight cast a faint glow in the room. When she met Elias‘ loving eyes, her breathing quickened.
