On the way back, sitting in the car, Annie couldn’t suppress her anger. She dialed her mother’s phone
number and said impatiently, “Mom, just tell Dad, don’t cooperate with that fucking Star Ferry
Technology. Their boss is with that bitch!”
Her mother was taken aback, “Annie, what are you talking about?”
Annie looked quite annoyed, “That damned company is cooperating with us, isn’t it? Ask them to fuck
off.”
On the other end of the line, Annie’s father took over the phone, “Annie, what did you say? Which
company are you talking about?”
“Star Ferry Technology,” said Annie with a disdainful sneer, “He knew that his company isn’t qualified.
Nowadays, so many junks want to cooperate with us. I must teach them a lesson!”
Annie’s father frowned. He knew his daughter’s character. His heart skipped a beat, “Annie, what have
you done? Whom from Star Ferry Technology have you met?”
“The person with the surname Cater or Kate. I don’t remember. That kind of person doesn’t deserve me
to remember his name.”
He frowned more deeply, “Is his name Emmett Carter?”
Annie answered carelessly, “It seems so. He looks decent but he’s blind, unfortunately. He insisted
defending that bitch.”
Upon hearing it, her father almost stopped breathing, “Annie, you! What have you done outside? You’d
better hurry up and apologize to Mr. Carter! Probably we can save the cooperation.”
Annie raised her voice and yelled, “Why should I? Who is he? Does he deserve my apology? Isn’t it
just cooperation? It’s fine if it stops. It wouldn’t bring any impact on us. He has lost the qualification to
work with Conrad Group. I bet he must regret it a lot!”
Her father said in anger, “Conrad Group? Does it have anything to do with you?”
“I...”
When she was about to retort, Annie suddenly realized something, and her expression changed. She
had almost forgotten that Conrad Group was managed by that bastard.
After a moment, she said, “So what? He’s just a bastard. Sooner or later, Uncle Dempsey would drag
him down and change to another successor.”
“Will you become the successor after Clarence Conrad is dragged down? Annie, think it over, the
reason why your surname has been changed to Conrad because the Conrad family felt sorry for your
aunt. In other words, you are nothing in the Conrad family. You even can’t compare to that bastard in
terms of the family status.”
“Bull crap! My surname is Conrad. I’m the daughter of the Conrad family. I’m far more superior than
that bastard!”
“Annie, make an apology to Mr. Carter tomorrow.”
“Impossible! You can do it yourself.”
After finishing her words, Annie hung up the phone directly.
She gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes full of hatred.
Annie smashed her cell phone in the car and yelled herself hoarsely, “You are all assholes! Assholes!”
...
In the restaurant.
When the dishes were served, Sherry glanced at her cell phone and coughed. Then she said seriously,
“I’ll answer a call outside. Please go ahead eating. Don’t wait for me.”
Stella looked over at her with warnings in her eyes.
Sherry immediately raised her phone and shaking the phone at Stella, on which the screen was
blinking, “There’s truly a call coming in.”
After Sherry left, Emmett curled up his lips and looked over at Stella, “Are you usually quite busy in the
studio?”
Stella slightly smiled and answered, “Not quite, but Sherry and I were the only two employees there
and we were quite busy. After we hired another two employees, it got much better.”
Soon, Emmett started other subjects. The way he talked and behaved was quite gentlemanly and
humorous.
Sine Sherry left, the faint awkwardness between them vanished.
They enjoyed chitchatting with each other a lot.
When Vincent came out from a box with his friends after dinner and was about to leave, he caught a
glimpse of a familiar figure beside the window.
He stopped and raised his eyebrows. From afar, he pulled out his cell phone and took a photo.
He believed that it was time for Clarence to have a bit of a sense of crisis.
Otherwise, if he kept using his stubborn and awkward way, he wouldn’t be able to win Stella’s heart
even in eight lives.
After sending the photo, Vincent put away his cell phone and left in satisfaction.
Sherry didn’t go back until she wandered outside for almost twenty minutes. When she went back, she
found that Emmett and Stella had a pleasant chat. Immediately, she felt that it was worth wandering in
the cold wind for twenty minutes.
If they could be together in the future, Sherry believed that definitely she had made the largest
contribution.
After dinner, Emmett suggested sending them back, but Stella refused.
She said, “We’ve troubled you a lot today. Our apartment isn’t far away from here, we can go back on
foot.”
Emmett nodded slightly. After a thought, he said, “My friend will hold a concert this weekend. Do you
girls have time? If yes...”
Before Stella answered, Sherry, took the initiative and answered, “Yes. We have. We do have time!
We’re worried about what we should do at weekend, right, Stella? Music can help us to relax and
soothe our minds. Besides, it’s your friend’s concert, we should go there to support him or her.”
Stella was speechless.
Emmett said with a smile, “Then that’s the deal. I’ll come to pick you up at the weekend.”
Sherry answered, “Sure. Of course. See you at weekend.”
Watching Emmett leave, Stella exhaled. She looked over at Sherry.
The latter took a few steps back and said immediately, “Well. We’ve agreed just now. You can’t go back
to your words.”
Stella retorted crossly, “I didn’t say yes.”
“What’s the difference? Emmett said he will come to pick us up. Do you have the heart to disappoint
him?”
Seeing that Stella was silent, Sherry took her arm and shook, playing at being cute, “All right, Stella?
Please! I do really want to go. All the cells of my body have been attracted by the concert. If we won’t
go, I’ll suffer from insomnia for many days.”
Stella choked up.
She answered helplessly, “Okay. Okay. We’ll go. We’ll definitely go.”
Sherry’s eyes were lit up. Before she was overjoyed, Stella said, “I must make it clear - you can’t make
any excuse to let me stay with Emmett alone. I know you are trying to matchmake us, but...”
Before she finished her words, Sherry nodded continuously, “Don’t worry. Don’t worry. I won’t do it
again. Stella, have you considered him? Emmett is indeed a good man. If he has a crush on you, would
you like to develop with him?”
Stella smiled, “How could your assumption be possible? As you said, he’s handsome and successful. A
lot of girls must have crushes on him. How could he like me?”
Sherry frowned, “Don’t disdain yourself, Stella. You are quite competent. Besides, Clarence Conrad the
wretched man also has regretted divorcing you, hasn’t he?”
Stella was speechless, wondering how Sherry jumped to such a horrible conclusion.
