"Don't worry, you wait here and I will go to tell Tabitha." Lily stood up and went out. Nara was left scratching her fingers because she was so anxious. Alternatively, when Stella arrived in Kelvin’s office, he sat there grinning and said, "Radomil, you are here." When Stella heard it, she scowled a little and said, "Kelvin, what can I do for you?" Kelvin continued to give her a gentle stare. His seemingly gentle glance was actually a harsh punishment for her. She couldn't help but remind him, her eyes oily and numb. "Mr. Kelvin, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave first!" "Wait, I want to ask you, is breakfast still good for you?" Kelvin remarked nervously as she turned around. How absurd... After giving it some thought, Stella blurted out, innocently, "Breakfast? I failed to notice any breakfast. I have to work if there isn't anything else." Kelvin circumnavigated the table and gripped the door tightly, preventing her from leaving. Stella seemed distant. Her expre
"Very rigid," Stella remarked. "Please, how did the Conrad Group become the largest company group in B City?" John asked, rolling his eyes at her. By promising that everyone can purchase the greatest and most authentic items here." Stella,"... no wonder the profit can be tens of millions of dollars a month, and it's still in season-off..." "What? By "tens of millions of dollars in profit," what do you mean?” "Nothing." Stella finally thought, "Let's head over to that mall. The items here are not inexpensive, by the way. Is it truly necessary to shell out so much cash for a dress? only for the occasion?" Stella could still recall breaking a skirt in the past. According to the waiter, the skirt had a value of almost $300,000. These people were incredibly wealthy, as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands of dollars they spent on a skirt for an occasion. "It's alright. I believe attending an event is worth spending tens of thousands of dollars on a dress. Girls at this age s
Consider it a bribe? John’s expression shifted. Jude seemed to be acknowledging with a sideways glance that he was pursuing Stella. God, I'm so sorry. John was unable to stop blinking. What about Clarence and Stella if Jude was truly after them? John felt that Stella’s identity was similar to theirs, even though he didn't think Stella needed to rely on Clarence to get into the Conrad Group. However, it appeared that her identification was more complicated than that at this point. How else could they...? As John considered this, he couldn't help but cough a little. "Are you serious about Stella, Mr. Jude? While all of us are just regular folks, you may think that regular girls are... I would like to clarify, nevertheless, that we are also human. Mr. Conrad recently demoted Stella, and you..." He spoke just half as much because of his hesitation. He was afraid that by accident offending the other person, he wouldn't dare say anything at all. Jude grinned a little, though, becaus
Stella noticed Clarence car when she came downstairs. Then Joseph saw her and greeted her. "Assistant Radomil!" At first, Stella treated him kindly. However, she had lately engaged in a cold war with Clarence, and when she met Joseph, she gave him a hard time. She gave him a quick, stern gaze before turning away, avoiding him, and walking away. Joseph gave his head a tap. What had gone wrong, he wondered? Clarence came down shortly after that. He brushed him by without even looking at him as Joseph grinned and greeted him. Maybe they got back together and started fighting again? Stella took a day off and visited the hospital the following day for a physical examination. Upon reviewing the data, the physician advised her to increase her rest and avoid becoming overly fatigued because the fetal position was not stable. Stella took notes, closed the report, and turned to go. She was strolling outdoors when she suddenly recognized someone. Examining it more closely revealed that
Riley once mentioned her older brother to Stella. She always concerned that she would not be taken seriously because her eldest brother didn't appear to care much for her and that she was the younger sister who would eventually acknowledge her. Riley had been consoled at the time by Stella. However, she was clueless as to why Riley had suddenly become irritated. Now that Jeff had asked, Stella felt obligated to speak on Riley’s behalf because they are friends. Jeff did not respond to her as his expression somewhat darkened. "Then you know everything about her and she knows everything about you too?" he asked her after some time. Stella nodded, even though she didn't know what this question meant. Of course, she and Riley were together all the time. Jeff remained silent, the car fell silent again, and Stella was at a loss for words. They reached their destination not too long afterward. Stella thanked Jeff for the ride and said as soon as the car came to a stop, "Thank yo
"Yes, by myself. No matter what I suffer in the future, it has nothing to do with you,” Stella said with a pursed lip and a chilly gaze at Kelvin. “I'm hoping you won't entangle me anymore. Our company is structured in a very transparent way. Workers aren't allowed to fall in love with one another. I believe you are married, am I correct? You have constantly hounded me, a single girl, as a married man. I am able to file a direct complaint against you. Next, however...” Kelvin’s expression darkened. "I had no idea you had such a sharp tongue. Have you ever considered whose land you currently occupy? Would you dare say such a thing to me? Do you not think you would be kicked out of the Conrad Group by me?” "When did you have so much power that you can expel people from the Conrad Group casually?" Stella was cut off from speaking by a frigid male voice. The sound was not unfamiliar to her, and before she could respond, Kelvin blurted, "Mr. Jude , why are you here?" Jude? Stella’s
Stella gave her a quick glance but remained silent. "Have you heard? I'm conversing with you.” "You roar so loudly, do you think others can't hear it?" Stella asked with a cool smile after hearing it. "So you should answer me," Lily gave her a fierce gaze. "Are you lacking anything to say? I have to leave work soon, so hurry up." Lily wanted to run over and rip Stella apart because she was so furious, but she had to restrain herself because of her plan. "I am to blame for what we did earlier. I'm sorry to you." Stella hesitated, unable to resist raising an eyebrow and giving her a quick look. All she could see of Lily was a depressing appearance, and the intensity of the rage in her eyes made it seem as though she was eager to get over and start beating her up. "Miss Lily , you came to apologize to me with a vicious hatred," Stella remarked. “I believed you harbored a strong animosity toward me before you stated this." "You!" "To be honest, I don't really care what
Clarence halted his mobility aid. He raised his head and studied Stella’s pale face with his icy gaze. His tone was mocking, as was the way he stared at her. "Did you intentionally do it? Stella, you have too much confidence in yourself." She bit her lip and became pale, saying, "It is obvious whether or not I am telling the truth." Clarence wore a neutral expression. "Get out of way." Stella "..." After bearing with it, she turned around and walked away from him. Before he arrived, she shut the elevator door and thought angrily that he could wait for the next one. What a bastard! With the intention of going after the bath, she went straight back to the room and started to take a bath. John texted her as she lay there, asking if she had gone to sleep and if she had prepared the dress for tomorrow. He promised to come over and apply her makeup before they went to the event. Stella questioned John about Riley’s appointment while she was thinking about it. She felt better
