Daniel frowned with the sudden shone of light onto his good-looking face.
Looking at the messy blanket and clothes all over the floor, what happened yesterday resurfaced in her
mind.
Sherry took a deep breath, she must have been crazy.
What had she done?
She grabbed her hair and wanted to kill herself.
Although she always told Stella that she wanted to go for one night stand, she was just saying, never
really meant it.
But it became true.
It was still okay if it was with a stranger, they could go separate ways once it was done. But he was
Daniel. She was totally annoyed.
Sherry picked her clothes up on the floor, put them on, and took some clean clothes before entering the
shower.
She hoped that he could take this as a one-night stand and leave silently. And pretended nothing
happened when they meet in the future.
Sherry deliberately made loud noises in the shower thinking about all that, the noises she made were
loud enough to wake him up. She took her sweet time to dry her hair too and waiting for him to leave.
She spent over an hour in the washroom before she stepped out.
When she walked to the dining room for water, someone greeted her from behind.
"Morning."
Sherry was speechless. Why was he still here?
Sherry choked up on the water but didn't turn her head.
Daniel walked to face her, "Are you going to the studio? I can send you along the way."
"No thanks, there's something else I need to take care of."
Daniel raised his brow and continued, "Find a new place, he might come here again."
Even without his suggestion, Sherry already thinking about moving.
She nodded, "I'll have a look online tonight."
After a moment of silence, Daniel continued, "The place you used to stay with Ms. Radomil seems still
available, do you want…"
"No, I'm staying alone, I don't need a huge place."
At this moment, Sherry's mobile rang from the bedroom and helped her out of the situation. She hurried
in and closed the door, distancing herself from the outside.
Daniel raised his brows, paused for a few seconds, and left.
Sherry sighed out of relief after hearing the door closed. Her energy was drained from her body and
she fell laying on the bed.
…
The flight landed at Aqock at about one in the afternoon.
It was the same as in City N, showering outside.
Stella felt the air was fresher once she stepped out of the plane.
This place was better for living compared to City N.
Stella peered through the windows on the way to Anqiao Street looking at different curves created by
the falling rain on the window.
"If it's still raining tomorrow, will the reconstruction starts as scheduled?" Stella turned to Clarence and
asked.
"The rain might delay the construction but not for long."
"Will you go back when it's fully dismantled or you can go anytime as you want to?"
Clarence stared at her, "How long do you want to stay here for?"
"It's up to you, the studio is not busy lately, I don't mind staying a few more days if you want to," Stella
said.
"You can't be separated from me?" Clarence teased.
Stella turned speechless, the wretched man was never serious.
They arrived at Anqiao Street and the car was parked at the entrance.
The driver got down with an umbrella and moved to the back seat door.
Clarence pulled Stella back as she was about to get down, "Wait."
He got down the car and took over the umbrella from the driver before moving to another side of the
door.
Stella saw Clarence with his umbrella the moment the door was opened, it was such a rare view.
That wretched man had a very handsome face. This face sometimes even made her less angry during
their argument.
Stella and Clarence walked side by side on the street.
There seemed to be no one living here anymore, both sides of the street were quiet and the floor was
filled with yellow wilted leaves.
Stella stopped in front of Dolores's house.
"Want to go in and have a look?" Clarence asked softly.
Stella shook her head, "No."
She was no longer living here, what's the point of visiting?
Stella looked at the raindrops in the river and recalled her memories.
It was still the same as before, nothing had changed.
After standing there for some time, Clarence asked, "Where else do you want to go?"
"It's raining, there's nowhere else to go, let's go back to the hotel," said Stella.
Clarence looked at his watch and said, "Okay, I have a meeting scheduled at four, let's go."
Stella's eyes shone hearing he had a meeting to attend.
It was a golden opportunity.
Everything was easier since Nathan didn't come along.
Clarence ordered room service once they arrived at the hotel.
The timing was perfect after they finished the meal.
"I'm going now, have some rest and I'll bring you out tonight," Clarence said.
Stella stood up too, "Where is the meeting?"
"In this hotel," Clarence said, "I'll be back latest at six."
"Let's go together; I've got nothing to do staying in the room anyway." Stella added, "I'll wait outside
and won't interrupt."
Clarence's brows moved. She behaved like how she was three years ago, obedient.
Stella on the other hand pulled him out at once, not giving him chance to reject, "Let's go, you have a
meeting to attend, don't be late."
Stella realized she knew all the people that attended the meeting after they arrived at the meeting
room.
"I'll wait for you outside," she told Clarence after greeted everyone.
"Okay."
Stella turned back after a few steps, "Do you need me to keep your mobile?"
"Huh?" Clarence doubted.
"I remember you said you let Nathan keep your mobile whenever you are in a meeting. If someone
calls, I can answer it for you and let you know after the meeting."
Stella's tone was calm trying not to show her true intention.
Clarence pressed his lips, it was hard to know if he smelled something fishy.
He didn't say a word but handed her his mobile.
"Don't worry, I won't check your phone," Stella said.
"You won't find anything."
"You mean I'm free to browse through your mobile?"
She read an article online saying that no woman could smile after seeing their boyfriend's phone.
Clarence said casually, "Yes, the passcode is your birthday."
Stella didn't know what to say. When did he change the passcode?
She felt guilty out of a sudden.
