Stella stayed and waited in the resting room after the meeting started, she stared at the mobile on her
knees.
She never intended to check Clarence's mobile, she just wanted to prevent him from communicating
with people from City N.
Stella took a deep breath, reached for her mobile, called Sherry, and asked her to go now.
Sherry was prepared and departed once she received her call.
Stella sat in the resting room looking at the time passing while started her wait.
Clarence's mobile had never rung once the entire time.
About an hour later, Sherry called Stella.
She felt slightly nervous and answered it at once, "Sherry, how was it?"
"I've checked each apartment, there is a middle-aged couple, a single man, and the other two were not
in. I asked the couple, they said a young couple and someone who always goes on business trips lives
in another two apartments. They said the person who always goes overseas hasn't been back since
two months ago."
Sherry continued, "I met the security guard on patrol, they didn't know about the person you mentioned
and has never heard baby's crying sound."
Stella pressed her lips, she didn't know if she should be happy or sad about this.
So, this was another coincidence.
The apartment card she picked up did not belong to Amanda.
But she…
Sherry added, "Stella if you are still worried, I'll wait until the evening to check or ask for the CCTV
recording?"
"There's no need, just go home," Stella said.
Stella flung herself against the sofa after she hung up, she felt exhausted and pressed gently on her
glabella.
If this continued, she would be under too much pressure, overthinking, and could fall sick.
She felt like she was closed to the truth every time, but regardless of asking Clarence or investigating
on her own, the results were always not what she had hoped for.
Every single time.
She peered out the window blankly.
The door of the resting room opened after some time, Clarence walked towards her, "What's wrong?"
Stella came back from her deep thought, "Nothing, I feel a little dizzy."
Clarence put his hand on her forehead, frowning, "It's a little warm, let's visit the hospital."
Stella shook her head and pulled down his hand, "It's alright, perhaps it is because the weather turning
cold due to the rain, I'll have medicine for cold and a nap in the room later."
Clarence pressed his lips, removed his jacket, and put it on her shoulders, "All right then, let's go."
"The meeting is over?"
He nodded.
Stella stood up as she handed him over the mobile, "No one called but there was a few texts, I guess
it's work-related, I didn't read it."
Clarence raised his brows, "Why didn't you read? I told you the passcode, didn't I?"
"I'm afraid reading it will make me sad or angry, so I'd rather pass."
Clarence was speechless.
Stella held his hand, "Let's go back, I'm sleepy."
"Sure."
Stella continued, "I mean if everything here is settled, let's go back to City N, I don't want to stay here."
"Can we go back tomorrow morning? If the rain continues until tomorrow, we need to reschedule the
construction."
Stella nodded, "Sure."
Clarence rubbed her head, "Why are you so obedient today?" he smiled.
That was not the only time she was obedient, she surprised him when they arrived at the room.
Clarence had just received the cold tablet from the reception and approached her with a glass of water
when Stella grabbed his collars and threw herself onto him.
He fell seated on the sofa as a result of that and held tight on the glass of water in his hand. He looked
at her and asked, "Don't you want medicine?"
She wrapped around his neck and said, "No."
"What do you want to do then?" his tone was seductive.
Stella gazed at his lips and kissed him.
Clarence held her waist and put down the glass on the table, held her head, and returned her kiss
passionately.
Stella was pressed against the sofa while she grabbed tightly on his shirt.
The room temperature rose and the entire atmosphere turned flirtatious.
Clarence rose and kissed her on her lips, "Wait a second."
She knew what he was up to and held his arm.
"Huh?" he responded with a husky tone.
Stella's breath was a little shallow, "Let's do it this way."
"This way?"
"Yes."
Clarence stopped talking in the middle of darkness.
Stella was collaborative and was exceptionally active tonight.
She stopped only at midnight where her energy was almost drained.
Clarence held her up and said, "Have the medicine before you sleep."
Stella was tired, "I let you do it without protection and you are feeding me pills?"
Clarence was confused for a second and then held her up, "Come on, you have lost your mind due to
the cold."
Stella couldn't utter a word, she struggled to open her eyes and put the pills into her mouth.
Clarence turned for the water and put her back on the bed after she drank some.
Noticing he was leaving, Stella grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"
"Tidy up the sofa," he said.
Stella thought of something and immediately turned her body, "Bye-bye."
Clarence smiled. He put a blanket on her before moving to the living room.
The sofa was a mess.
Twenty minutes later, Clarence went back to the room while Stella was already sound asleep.
He knelt on one knee next to her and gently touched her ears, "Stella, do you want anything to eat?"
He received no reply.
Clarence tidied up her hair before walking out of the room with his mobile.
He made a call and was almost immediately answered, "Mr. Conrad."
"What's the situation today?" Clarence asked.
Maxwell reported, "Ms. Radomil's friend came, but don't worry, everything was arranged according to
your instruction, no information was leaked. We've moved Madam Anderson and Noah to another
building."
Clarence leaned against the railing of the balcony, lighted up a cigarette, and replied with a rather cold
tone, "All right, got it."
