After Leonard had gone up to the penthouse. Stella received information from Wandy as she asked the woman to do. When Mary purchased ingredients and products for the restaurants. Wandy had made copies of original receipts and bills she actually paid for everything.Stella compared the two reports, one was from Mary and one was from Wandy. She saw what she expected to see. The difference between numbers in the lists. Stella had gathered all the evidence and reported it to Chase immediately. Chase then furthered the report to Michael.After that Mary was called to Chase's office immediately."That isn't true! You are incriminating me, Stella!"Mary's angry voice rang in the room with Michael Duncan sitting on the large sofa and listening quietly."We are here, not to waste time, Mary. All the evidence we have here has indicated clearly of your fraud. Can you explain why your numbers and the actual expense bills are not matched? "Stella spoke in her cool and calm voice. She and Mary wer
After cuddling and clinging together for a while. Stella held his happy face with her two hands and looked into his beautiful deep blue eyes. Then she gradually recalled the reaction of the man since the morning when he kept ringing her all day, telling her not to lift heavy things. And he asked for her urine. "And what made you think I am pregnant?"Stella asked out of her curiosity when she had a chance. Why on earth did Leonard suspect that she was pregnant? Should it be her, the first person to catch what happened with her own body?Leonard stopped smiling immediately. He stared back into her eyes and did not blink. Trying to keep his face still and serious. He had learned that if he dodged or skipping eye contact or blinking rapidly, she would know that he lied to her."I dreamed."He said with a straight face. Stella raised her eyebrow up."Yeah? Really?"He nodded again as a confirmation."Yes, really."He confirmed once again."About what?""I dreamed about a tiger cub. A ti
The next day, Leo took Stella to the doctor at his friend's private hospital but he chose a female doctor for her. His doctor friend shook his head for Leonard's attitude but let him do whatever he wished. The doctor apologized to Stella. She forgave him as she knew it was Leonard who forced the doctor and the doctor was a good friend and powerless enough to let Leonard ordered him.Stella was not a person who held anger and hate in her heart too long because she took the Buddha's teaching seriously about not to feed her soul with the negative feelings and learned to let go easily. Life was too short to play with time. She wanted to make the best out of it and especially, now she was not only one but having her baby inside her belly. She would make sure she gave her best to her baby. So anger was no good to plant in the baby's pure soul.Two weeks later, Stella was two months pregnant. After telling her about her pregnancy and confessing all sins, the father-to-be was very crazy about
Stella changed from her work clothes to a white T-shirt and a pair of dark shorts at knee length. Then she went to join Jacqueline in the kitchen. They started to cook.It had gone five o'clock when she heard the penthouse door opened and closed."Why didn't you wait for me? Who allowed you to come up alone?!. If the elevator got stuck or if you fall... "The vociferous voice came before the man himself. Stella turned to smile at Jacqueline who was laughing to hear his son shouting like a mad man.Leonard walked into the penthouse. Ben and James had gone to their rooms to rest, leaving the boss to stay with the family alone.Leo popped into the kitchen and saw his mother and Stella were cooking. His handsome face lighted up with a smile and walked to his mother. He kissed her on the cheeks."Hello, mother. So happy to see you here. I missed you. How was your journey?"He said and hugged his mother tightly."Everything was good. Do you want anything to drink?"The mother was the mother
When Stella and Leo had finished showering, they came out and went back to the kitchen. They were sneaking at the door. Leo saw his mother stirring vegetables in the pan. The aroma spread throughout the room. His father was stood leaning on the counter behind her and watching.Stella did not hear any dialogue between Leo's father and mother. The used dirty equipment and pots and bowls sat on the counter had not been washed yet. She was thinking quickly then she pulled Leo's arm back to the living room."What is it? Or do you want another round? I don't mind that. Let's get back to the bedroom."The lustful man said with sparkling eyes, only thought of hot stuff under the belly button!"No, don't be silly. Listen to me carefully."Stella whispered and looked back to the kitchen direction. Making Leo shut up and follow her eyesight."I am always listening. Just tell me."Leo whispered back, took the opportunity to hug her from behind and put his chin on her shoulder, his ears were up re
Everyone came to sit at the table when it was time to enjoy their meal and Stella served rice to everybody. There were bowls and plates of food put on the table. The aroma was making Leo mouth-watering."Wine, don't eat too salty,"He scolded at her when seeing her pouring some soy sauce on her rice. The Thai did have ways to eat differently and lots of types of sauces that got him dizzy and Leo still could not get his head around it."It isn't salty. I have made it quite plain, for mum and the president."Stella explained. But Leo still did not believe, he proved it by reaching for a spoon to scoop the food on Stella's plate and put it in his mouth. After that, he immediately grabbed the glass of water and drank the whole lot."Woh! That's too spicy, Wine. You can't eat like this!"The man who did not eat spicy food said with a loud noise. Stella shook her head. This was just three chilies!"Sam can eat more spicy than me."Stella said. It was true that Sam liked eating very spicy fo
The next day, the company began to prepare for the banquet. Leo used the main hall of the hotel to hold the event. He did not have to go to the company. He walked around to see the work in the banquet room.He was happy to work under the same roof as his love for today. When seeing everything was going well then he left the room to explore the lobby. The hotel staff was very enthusiastic to see the boss walk to see them work."If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. "The security guard at the door said to the doorman who stood together."Me too. I don't know how she did it. Was it Judo or Karate or Taekwondo? She kicked so high and it was extremely cool. " The doorman replied."I haven't got a clue but it was so damn amazing. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to help her." The security guard continued."She definitely didn't need your help. That bastard was half dead in two minutes like that. Good job that they didn't fire you as you didn't look after
The father-to-be got up from the floor to sit next to Stella after feeling satisfied kissing her stomach to soothe his baby."I think you should rest. Don't have to go down for today. And if you still feel a little dizzy, you should take a shower. I'll help you."The man offered with sparkling eyes. Stella did not trust him when he made a cheeky smile and eyes glistering like this. Her experience with him helping her for a shower so far was...not just a shower he gave a service! She still did not trust him if he would go out after they had a long talk. You never knew with Leo. He might just trick her by pretending to be easy to make her not to worry and then he might sneak out behind her back. Perhaps, she should make sure of it."Um, taking a shower could be a good idea."She said and saw the man was delighted, a little obvious. She put on a straight face, pretend not to notice."I'll give you the full service and will make sure your dizziness will be gone very soon."He said with a
