In Stella’s studio…
After Arthur’s leaving, Sherry walked into the office and asked with her brows knitted, “Is that person
the evil one who’s now having a conflict with Modesty?”
Stella slowly nodded her head.
“Oh my,” Sherry pulled a chair and sat beside Stella, “Why does he come to you? Moreover, look at
him, he looks so complacent. Those who don’t know about the truth will think that he wasn’t disqualified
by the design community, instead, he was mounted and hung on the wall like a famous picture.”
Stella said, “Probably he wants to add fuel to the fire when seeing that I plan to fight against Modesty.”
Sherry couldn’t help but click her tongue, “Although I think Modesty deserves whatever she’s suffering
now, that Arthur Barnett is an evil person too. All in all, whenever I think of his look, my hair will stand
up. It’s so disgusting.”
After pondering for a while, Sherry asked again, “By the way, you came to meet Louis today, right?
What do they plan to deal with the two judges?”
Stella leaned against the chair and said slowly, “We have no evidence so far. So it can only end up like
that.”
“What? How can you let go of them so easily?”
Stella chuckled, “Rest assured. As long as they had done it, they won’t be able to escape from the
punishment. The truth will be revealed one day.”
Sherry nodded her head in approval, “That’s it. It’s reasonable.”
Stella stretched her arms lazily, “Well, let’s start working.”
“Then I will go out. Call me if you have any problem.”
“Okay.”
After Sherry’s leaving, Stella prepared to begin drawing. But her phone that was placed on the table
vibrated.
She picked up her phone, took a glance and found it was a junk message.
Stella put down her phone and pressed her eyebrows.
Two hours later, there came a knocking on the door. Stella lifted her head and said, “Come in please.”
Sherry pushed open the door with several jewelry boxes in her hand. She put them onto the desk while
saying, “Stella, we sent the design drawings to the manufacturing factory last time and these’re the
jewelries they produced. They’re all finished. Have an examination on them to see if there’re any
problems. If there’s no problem with them, I will contact our customers to come here to take the
jewelries.”
Hearing her words, Stella put down her drawing pencil and opened the jewelry boxes one by one. After
examining all the jewelries, she said, “There’s no problem. You may call the customers to come over.”
“Okay.”
When Sherry was about to go out, a girl ran into the office with a jewelry case, “Sherry, a box is left in
the car.”
Sherry patted her head, “Oh, that’s it. I almost lost it.”
She took the jewelry box from the girl and then handed it to Stella, “Have an examination on this.”
Stella opened the box. Looking at the necklace in the box, she was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Sherry asked in a low voice, “Stella, what’s wrong? Is there any problem?”
“Nothing.” Stella shook her head with a smile, “This is a necklace I designed before and I sent the
drawing to the factory too.”
Looking at the necklace in the box, Sherry suddenly thought of something. She asked tentatively, “Is
this the necklace you designed for the charity party before? And it was lost later, right?”
Stella replied, “It’s based on that design. I modified it according to the aspiration I got in this contest.”
Sherry finally figured it out and said, “No wonder. But this necklace looks so good. Are you inspired by
that pocket watch?”
Stella pressed her lips together and lightly nodded her head.
Seeing this, Sherry decided not to probe into this and said, “Stella, may we have dinner together
tonight?”
“What?”
“You got the championship, Phoebe’s real face was exposed, Modesty and Arthur are now fighting
against each other, and you signed the contract of the special brand performance. Four good things to
celebrate for! Shall we celebrate them together?”
Stella pondered for a while and said, “Okay. Who else will come?”
Sherry blinked at her knowingly, “Rest assured. I’ve invited your Mr. Conrad.”
Hearing the words, Stella’s ears uncontrollably got red. She coughed, “My… My Mr. Conrad? What
nonsense are you talking?”
“Alright, alright, he’s not yours.” Sherry continued, “By the way, I also invited Channing and Winnie.
Who else do you want to invite?”
Stella replied, “Invite Daniel too.”
Stella chuckled, “Didn’t he send you back every evening? Today can’t be an exception.”
“But…”
“It doesn’t matter. Just invite him. He does have helped me a lot.”
Sherry cleared her throat, “All right. But it seems like he’s not in the piano room now. I will call him and
ask him.”
“Okay.”
When the door of the office was closed, Stella withdrew the lowest drawer, took out a box and opened
it, and then took out the pocket watch and put it on the desk.
She found Charles through this pocket watch.
But Charles’s identity was fabricated and maybe her biological father had died long time ago.
Maybe this was the last thing he left in this world.
Stella studied it for a long while, put the pocket watch into the box together with the necklace that was
sent here just now and then put them into the drawer.
When Stella walked out of her office, she found that Sherry was waiting for her on the sofa.
She said, “Sherry, I finish my work. Let’s go.”
Sherry stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
When they walked to the door of the studio, a black Rolls-Royce stopped by the roadside.
Sherry sensibly ran to her own car, “Stella, I’ve sent the address of the restaurant to you phone. See
you at the entrance of the restaurant later.”
Before Stella could say something, Sherry had disappeared in her vision.
Stella withdrew her lines of sights and walked to the Rolls-Royce. Clarence winded down the window
and tilted his head towards her, “Get into the car.”
Stella pulled open the door. When she prepared to get into the car, she found a bunch of flowers on the
seat.
She couldn’t help but smile as she didn’t expect that this wretched man was quite romantic.
Clarence put the flowers aside for her. Stella then got into the car and closed the door.
Stella said, “Sherry said she has sent Nathan the address. We’re not at the same direction. Why do
you still come here?”
Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “Because I want to see you in advance.”
The smile on Stella’s face became brighter. She took the roses from him and held them in her arms.
Stella lowered her head to sniff the flowers. She then suddenly lifted her head, looked towards
Clarence and asked with her brows knitted, “Did you do anything sorry to me?”
Clarence was confused.
“You never think of gifting me flowers before.”
Clarence moved his thin lips and slowly spit out a word, “Never?”
Stella looked at him, feeling that what he really wanted to say was ‘you brute’.
But thinking over it, it was true that this wretched man did gift her flowers for several times before.
But he seldom gifted flowers to her. Only once or twice, she remembered.
“All right. Forget it.”
Clarence curled his finger and flipped her forehead, “You brute.”
Stella didn’t want to argue with him. With the flowers in her arms, she winded down the window to
appreciate the sceneries outside.
