In the morning, when Stella arrived at the studio, she saw that Sherry had not arrived yet. So, she
asked the young girls in the studio, “Has Sherry arrived?”
A young girl said, “No, in the past, she would be here at this time. What happened to her today?”
Stella said, “I’ll call and ask.”
When the phone was dialed, no one picked up.
Sherry went back drunk yesterday, and now she was not answering the phone. Stella was a little
worried, so she went to take her car to go the Sherry’s house and take a look. However, she just
reached the door.
Then, she saw Sherry getting out from a Porsche, and the guy who got out from the driver’s seat was
Daniel.
Stella, “?”
What was the situation now? Was she blurred?
In addition to Stella astonished face, several other young girls in the studio came over and watched this
scene with a gossipy look on their faces.
Sherry noticed their gaze and she became a little embarrassed. So, she sped up her steps and walked
into the studio.
Daniel looked at her back and raised his eyebrow. Then he went into the piano room next door.
In the studio, before Stella could speak, the young girls rushed to Sherry and ask, “Sherry, why did you
come with Daniel? What’s the situation?”
“Yeah, are you dating each other? I remember that you tried hard to avoid seeing him the other day.”
“What the hell is going on? Hurry up and tell us!”
Sherry’s face flushed when they asked. It took her a long while to say hesitantly,” In fact, it’s nothing.
He is trying to woo me.”
Everyone, “…”
She couldn’t blame the other for not believing her. She was stammering when she said that.
She nudged the people in front of her, “Alright, alright. Stop gossiping. Go to work and work hard.”
After saying this, she hid inside the lounge.
After Stella finished making coffee, she followed her in and closed the door of the lounge.
She sat on the sofa and looked at Sherry, who was shirking herself into a ball opposite her, “Sherry,
what’s going on?”
Sherry popped her head out embarrassedly, “Just… Just as I just said, he’s trying to woo me.”
Stella didn’t have the slightest look of gossip on her face, she asked seriously, “Is he serious?”
“Who knows? He just said that anyway.” Sherry changed her posture into holding her legs, “Stella,
don’t worry. Although he wanted to date me, I haven’t agreed yet.”
“I think you are not far from saying ‘yes’ to him.”
Sherry, “…”
She couldn’t help it. In order to prevent people from discovering, she needed to act fully. She also had
to act like she was interested in him but refused to be with him.
However, maybe this was the chance for her to fulfill her dream as a scumbag, so that she could
seduce him but refused to be with him.
Stella said, “Even if you want to be with him, don’t agree so quickly yet. There’s nothing obviously weird
about him, but I just feel that he isn’t that reliable when it comes to a relationship.”
Sherry agreed and nodded, “I feel the same too.”
Then, Sherry questioned, “Eh, are you done considering about the matter we said yesterday?”
Stella nodded her head, “Almost.”
When Sherry heard what she said, she knew what her answer was, and she buckled up instantly,
“Then I will tell the other customers that we will not accept custom orders. When the orders you have
now are done, it is estimated that the time will be just right.”
“Okay.”
Stella got up, “Then I’ll go back to the office first. Come and find me if you need anything.”
“Okay, go.”
After returning to the office, Stella hesitated for a moment and then decided to give Clarence a call.
Soon, the man’s low voice came into her ears, “Babe, miss me so early?”
Stella, “…”
She said unpleasantly, “I guess you haven’t woken up yet.”
Clarence smiled, “What’s the matter?”
Stella asked, “Did you ordered someone to go and sue Phoebe?”
After Channing’s incident happened, she was very angry, but she was busy with the competition at the
time. She wanted to wait for everything to be over and then think about how to use Bernice’s incident to
fight back, but she didn’t expect Clarence to arrange everything in advance and hid it from her.
Clarence said slowly, “It has nothing much to do with me.”
Stella didn’t believe it, “Nothing much? How much is that related to you?”
“She wants to fight for her own rights, so I just introduced a lawyer to her.”
“Donald?”
“Yup.”
Stella finally understood. Now it seems that Donald’s sudden return to China was not a coincidence.
Bernice had been conscious for quite some time. According to her personality, how could possibly
allow herself to suffer such a great loss for nothing? She would definitely fight back against Phoebe
until she was seriously punished.
As for Donald, although he was only a lawyer, his family was also a well-known figure in City N. Hence,
Charles wouldn’t turn against him. Hence, he planned to start from her.
Clarence had started planning all of this so early, but she hadn’t noticed it at all.
Without hearing her response, Clarence said, “What condition did you offer Charles?”
Stella pursed her lips, “Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from you.”
“I directed the show. If I can’t even guess this, wouldn’t it be a waste of my time?”
“I asked him how much land he wants.”
“He agreed?”
Stella said, “He rejected.”
Clarence said indifferently, “It’s within my expectations. If he agreed to it so easily, then there must be a
problem.”
“Anyway, I’m not the person who is anxious. So, let it progress slowly.”
“Donald’s side is clinging tightly onto this matter. Within three days, Charles will come and find you
again.” After a pause, Clarence added, “When this matter is over, I will bring you out."
Stella asked, “Where to?”
“Where you want to go?”
Before Stella could answer him, she heard several knocks on the door, followed by Nathan’s voice, “Mr.
Conrad, the meeting will start soon.”
Clarence nodded and then said to Stella, “Wait for me after work.”
The corners of her lips lifted, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Stella took out the business card that Louis gave her yesterday from her
bag and dialed the number.
She said, “Hello Louis, this is Stella.”
When he heard her voice, Louis smiled, “I think I already know your answer.”
Stella smiled, “Thank you.”
She continued, “But I may need a little more time to prepare. I still have a lot of things to finish in the
studio right now.”
“There’s no need to rush. It’s still a few months before Fashion Week anyway. You still have plenty of
time to prepare.”
After they finished talking, Louis said he would send the contract to Stella once it was ready.
After hanging up the phone, Stella looked at the previously accepted orders and sighed. Then, she
started to focus on her work.
