Stella wanted him to widely advertise the sale and let every person in the upper-class society know about it.Henry was a person that cared about what other people would think of him very much. He would never want them to laugh at him for returning the bangle.'This is unbelievable. Stella's plan is just perfect. Albert would stop pestering her if Henry gave up the idea of returning the bangle himself. Even I've never done such an evil thing before!'After not hearing any response from Vermont, Stella asked tentatively, "What do you think?""Stella, did you major in public relations?"Stella did not know what to say."I was in the theater department."Vermont licked his lips. "In my opinion, you should've ventured into public relations. I would spend a fortune just to hire you."Stella took it as a joke. "So, what's your thought on this?""It's wonderful. The manager talked to me about the marketing campaign a few days ago, and I think this is a very good opportunity to promot
Keegan said sarcastically, "I would probably believe it if you said that she beat you up and threatened you to help her.""Stella looks so skinny and feeble. Does she really hit you?"Keegan's nose started to hurt again."Are you going to tell me or not? I'm going to hang up now!"Vermont stopped fooling around and told him about what happened truthfully."Stella is ruthless. I heard that Albert is tendering for that project in Northon, and he's risking more than half of his wealth on it, hoping that Henry would pull some strings for him. Henry is a petty man who would stop helping Albert if he could not make things go his way. In that way, Albert won't be able to secure that project. Stella isn't his only daughter. Why would she do this to her father?"Keegan did not say anything.Albert gave Stella enough reasons to hate him for her whole life after how he wanted to give up on treating Rainee not long after the accident.What Stella would do to him was nothing compared to tha
The young lady would not stop talking when Stella filled in her information."Your eyes are so beautiful. I thought you were an actress when I saw you coming through that door. What school are you from?"Stella responded flatly, "Trinity University.""Trinity? We come from the same university! I'm studying I.T. Are you in the theater department?""Yeah," Stella said before she added, "I graduated many years ago. So I'm much older than all of you here."The lady smiled, and both of her canine teeth appeared. "I wouldn't know at all if you didn't tell me. You look so young. Should I address you as my senior?""Just call me anything you like."Then, the lady said softly, "Have you tried voice acting before? I was thinking of going to the recording booth for an audition later. I've only done this online for fun, and I don't even know what a recording booth looks like. However, I wrote that I have a year of voice acting experience while registering. Do you think they would be able to
Chief was a few years older than Keegan. He was already married and had a daughter old enough to attend kindergarten.He was the reason why Stella started voice acting in animated shows. They worked together plenty of times, and he even taught her some pronunciation techniques.He was like a big brother to Stella. In other words, he was a senior who helped her kickstart her career.Stella had a short script and got everything done by the afternoon.Chief was very happy with the final work. He stopped Stella from leaving as soon as they stepped out of the recording booth. "Give me a second. My wife booked us a table at The Fresh Diner. I'll take you there later.""It's fine. I live around here. I'll just eat at home."Stella was about to sneak out as she spoke, but Chief grabbed her wrist and glowered at her. "Why is it so difficult to eat with you? Are you scared that I'll kidnap you?" he asked."It's not that...""Let's go then! Otherwise, my wife will think that there's somet
'Daniel? Why does that name sound so familiar? And he's a director too. It can't be him, right?'Stella turned around hesitantly, and she was shocked.The director that Chief talked about was the same as the one who directed the show she went for the audition, Daniel Wood!'Sort of a director?!'Just how impressive was Daniel in the industry? Let's put it this way; all the dramas that he directed did not have a score lower than seven on the most demanding critic application in the country.Any dramas with a score of seven or more would be selected as must-watch! The lowest score his drama had was 7.8!Stella could not help but feel a little nervous as she was going to eat with Daniel unexpectedly, not to mention that it was a private meeting.Daniel was surprised to see Stella too. Then, he walked toward them naturally and greeted Robin and his wife.Stella found out that Daniel was Chief's senior from their conversation. They had been very close since studying in the same scho
Stella frowned. She felt like Daniel was implying something by saying that.Then, Daniel spoke again, "Let's dig in. We should talk about something unrelated to work now that we finally get to eat together."Chief wanted to say something, but Susan tapped him lightly under the table. So, he gave up the idea.Stella felt very bothered throughout the whole meal.Chief went to settle the bill while Daniel went to the washroom after everyone ate.Daniel came out of the washroom and saw Stella standing in his way.He paused for a second before saying flatly, "Excuse me."Stella cut to the chase and said, "Mr. Wood, what were you trying to say before we ate just now?"Daniel glared at her. "Ms. Jewell, I'm sure you know very well what I meant. Why do you have to ask me?""What do I know?"Stella was ridiculed. "You said some people would go to the audition just to mess with others. Why did you say that? Do you think I used my connections to arrange this meal today, and I'm immoral
Stella could not help but feel disappointed. "Why didn't you say you were a voice actor during the audition?" Daniel asked. Stella shook her head and said, "Because there was simply no need to mention it. No matter how far I've made it in the voice acting industry, I'm still a rookie in acting."'Plus, such experience may not benefit my career as an actor. On the contrary, it may even hinder my future development in the field since my previous achievements may overtake my current,' Stella thought.Daniel stared at her for a while, wondering what she was thinking. Then, after a long time, he said, "Let's keep in contact. What's your number?" Stella was taken aback when she heard that. "I have to give Robin something for introducing you to me," Daniel said lightly. Stella stayed quiet.'There was no need to make it so obvious...' she thought. Daniel had asked for her number but did not give her his. Clearly, it was going to be a one-way contact. The only reason he wanted her number wa
Maya was shaking with anger. Stella had been too kind and gentle for too long. Everyone thought she was a weak little bunny. But she was, in fact, a lion who was ready to bite back. 'How would I ever stand out from the crowd if I continue being an obedient bunny?' she thought.'So what if Dahlia sent her here? She's just a housemaid. Keegan doesn't even bat an eye at her. I'm bound to be the lady of this house if I can secure my place as Keegan's wife. She won't even be able to secure her job!'Maya was unhappy, but she did not dare to provoke Stella again. She had every right to fire her. Maya lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "My apologies, Madam. I won't do it again."Stella did not eat dinner that night. Instead, she went to her room and hit the sheets. Keegan's return was unclear to her, but she was alone in her bedroom when she woke up the next day. She asked Maya about it and found out he came home at around 11:00 p.m. last night. 'He must have spent the night in t
