When Stella just went back to the studio, she received the confirmation email from the sponsor,
informing her that they had received her work. The next would be the filtering and selection process.
She should wait patiently.
It turned out her guess was correct.
Stella put down the cell phone, exhaling deeply.
Finally, she could be relaxed for a few days.
Shortly after, she heard the knocks on the door of her office. Sherry poked in her head, “Stella, are you
busy?”
“Not really. What’s up?”
Sherry closed the door and entered, “We haven’t been out for the team-building for a long time. I was
discussing it with them just now. How about going barbecue this weekend?”
Stella nodded in agreement, “Sure!”
“Okay. I’ll plan it now.” As she spoke, Sherry approached her and whispered, “We can take along
boyfriends with us this time. I must remind you about it. Otherwise, you would be fed up PDA.”
Stella was surprised.
She tugged the hemline of Sherry’s blouse, “Are you also taking a man with you?”
Sherry giggled, raising her eyebrows, “Of course. I recently met a handsome young man online. His
voice is so charming. He also sent me photos of his abs. I’ll take this chance to ask him to meet me in
person.”
“Be careful, Sherry. You can’t be deceived.”
“No worries. I won’t be that silly. Probably I’ll deceive him. Besides, we’ll soon meet. I can get to know
him more in reality.” Sherry looked so expectant, “If this one worked, I finally could have a boyfriend.”
Stella’s mouth corners twitched, “I don’t think it’s reliable. You’d better watch out.”
Sherry patted her on the shoulder, “I know what I’m doing. What about you? Will you ask your Mr.
Conrad to go with you?”
Upon hearing the words “your Mr. Conrad”, Stella blushed, “It’s just the team-building of our studio.
Why should I take him with me? If he went with us, no one would enjoy it.”
Sherry was speechless.
She couldn’t agree with Stella more.
She said in disappointment, “Okay. In that case, you can only watch us PDA then.”
Weekend.
All people were gathering at the door of the studio. They would set off from there afterward.
Almost all the girls brought their boyfriends. It was pretty quick for the young men to get to know each
other. Soon, they found a lot of things in common.
Stella checked the time and asked, “Where is your handsome friend online? Why hasn’t he come yet?”
Sherry looked around, “He said he has arrived at the intersection five minutes ago. He should be here
soon.”
Right then, a Maybach was parked in front of them.
One young man said, “Holy shit! Would it be him? Is he so rich?”
Sherry also gaped, subconsciously gripped Stella’s arm. She wondered what kind of handsome guy
would this be.
As the door of the car was opened slowly, a slender and straightened figure appeared in their sight.
Everyone fell into the silence.
Their expectation was in vain.
Clarence cast an indifferent glance at them, “Am I not expected?”
Instantly, the group of people felt his cold aura. Some of them went to buy bottled water, and some of
them went to use the restroom. They left the scene with different excuses.
Sherry was the one who felt the most disappointed. She asked, “Mr. Conrad, why did you change your
car?”
“I’ve sent the other one for maintenance.” Clarence looked over at Stella, “Where are you going?”
Last night, Clarence asked her what she would be doing this weekend. Obviously, he wanted to date
her. However, since it would be the team building today, she made an excuse that she would be busy
working in the studio.
Much to her surprise, the wretched man came to find her directly.
Stella let out a hollow laugh. When she was about to run away, she turned around and saw an
elementary student, who had a school bag on his shoulders and looked quite adorable.
His gaze swept between Sherry and Stella. Then he asked in a calm tone, “Excuse me. Who is Magical
Pretty?”
Stella, Clarence, and Sherry gaped at him.
Sherry had never thought that when someone said about her WeChat ID, she would feel so
embarrassed.
In difficulty, she walked up and squatted down. Trying her best to force a smile, she asked, “Hi, Little
fellow. What can I do for you?”
The boy offered her a hand and said in a polite manner, “I’m Little Rabbit. It’s so great to meet you in
person.”
Sherry was confused.
She looked around, “Little fellow, where are your parents? Did you come here with your older brother or
your uncle?”
“I came here myself. Didn’t you ask me out for a barbecue?” As he spoke, he exhaled, “I’ve tried to
convince my mother for a long time before she finally agreed to let me join you. But you must send me
home after the barbecue. My mother is afraid that you are a bad person.”
The smile on Sherry’s face was breaking down gradually, “Is she... afraid that I’m a bad person?”
Little Rabbit slowly nodded, “Yes.”
“If I were a bad woman, how would I send you home?”
“You don’t need to worry about it. I have my own plans.”
Sherry thought that if it weren’t that she had experienced a lot of scumbags and become extremely
strong, at this moment at the scene, she should have been sent to the ICU for a rescue.
Beside them, Stella gripped Clarence’s arm. Her face turned so red because she tried so hard to hold
back her laughter.
Clarence looked at the boy opposite Sherry indifferently, lost in thought.
Sherry inhaled deeply and stood up, “Let’s go. I’ll send you home now.”
“No way!” ‘Little Rabbit’ took a few steps back. He insisted, “I haven’t eaten the barbecue yet. You
promised to invite me for it!”
Right then, those people who left the scene came back. Seeing that Sherry was talking to a boy, they
walked over, “Sherry, is he your younger brother? He’s so cute.”
As they spoke, they pinched his chubby face.
‘Little Rabbit’ wasn’t happy. He frowned and hid behind Sherry.
One of the young men didn’t know what happened. He asked, “Will your boyfriend still join us?”
Sherry just wanted to bypass this matter. Hurriedly, she said, “No. He won’t join us. His car broke down
on the way. Let’s go. Go! Go! Go! Let’s set off!”
“Let’s go!”
They originally planned to have Sherry and Stella drive and they could fit in two cars. Right now,
Clarence and the boy would also join them.
Sherry was quite decisive. She pressed ‘Little Rabbit’ into Clarence’s car. Before Clarence said no, she
immediately said, “Mr. Conrad, please help me take care of him. In the future, if you need any help from
me, just feel free to let me know.”
As she finished her words, she closed the door immediately.
Watching the scene, Stella whispered, “Aren’t you afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get off after sitting
in Clarence’s car?”
“You don't understand. It's called raising poisonous insects. The strongest would survive.”
Stella choked up.
Since they were in a hurry to leave, Stella had no time to talk to Clarence. However, although the
wretched man had a sharp tongue, Stella didn’t think that he would trouble an elementary student.
The venue wasn’t far away. They would arrive in an hour.
Nothing serious would happen.
Thinking of that, Stella came back to her senses and got in the car.
In the Maybach, Clarence cast a glance at the boy on the backseat, “Fasten the seat belt.”
‘Little Rabbit’ put down the bag, “Okay.”
