Standing outside the door, Stella placed her hand on the door handle, took a few deep breaths,
knocked on the door and entered the lounge.
Daniel sat there and greeted her as usual, “Ms. Radomil.”
Stella smiled faintly and acknowledged his words. She then looked at the person beside him and spoke
softly, “Mr. William.”
Seeing the situation, Daniel hurriedly said, “I ran into Mr. William at the entrance of the studio. He also
has come here to talk to you, so we have come together.”
She forced a smile and sat across from them, “Is there anything Mr. William wishes to discuss with
me?”
William didn’t beat around the bush and directly spoke, “I heard that Ms. Radomil has decided to take
control of the Steward Group?”
Stella gently nodded, “Yes.”
“I have always been the business partner of the Steward Group. Nobody knows the current state of the
Steward Group better than I do. It is already a fact that the Steward Group is barely surviving.
Internally, it is in a mess. Whoever touches it will be in deep trouble. So, Ms. Radomil, you should
reconsider your decision.”
Stella replied, “I have already thought it over. As you said, based on the current situation, the Steward
Group is barely surviving. This proves that how much influence the Steward Group has on other
people. These days, which piece of news regarding the Steward Group doesn’t involve a lot of innocent
people?”
After pausing for a while, Stella pursed her lips and continued, “Things have gotten to this point. It is no
longer a question of whether the Steward Group can save itself. If we want to solve all of the problems,
the Steward Group is only the beginning.”
William slightly furrowed his brows and didn’t say anything for a while.
After seeing the situation, Daniel spoke at the right time, “Ms. Radomil, it is true that a lot of people are
currently involved because of the Steward Group. However, we also have been thinking of solutions. I
believe that all of the problems will be resolved soon.”
Stella gave a chuckle, “I can wait, but can the workers and the companies that are facing bankruptcy
wait?”
“But that is also…”
“I know that all of you mean well. Since the beginning, I have been living under everyone’s protection.
But there are things that someone has to do. Now, I am the best candidate for the job so there is no
reason for me to run away.”
After a moment of silence, William spoke with an emotionless tone, “Based on the current situation,
nothing can be done to save the Steward Group. The best thing to do is to let it disappear silently. The
Complex Corporation has already decided to move its headquarters to City N. As for the people who
are affected by this matter, the Complex Corporation will give them the best treatment. They will have
the chance to start over. The effects brought about by the Steward Group are just temporary and will be
overcome soon.”
Stella replied, “I don’t know much about the things in the business world. But I know that whether they
are the companies which have gone bankrupt or are facing bankruptcy, or the workers who don’t know
what to do and can only wait at the construction site, all of them desperately need to find hope in their
lives. They don’t need empty promises which cannot provide a secure future for them.”
After Stella had finished speaking, there was dead silence in the lounge.
Daniel covered his mouth with one hand and gave a cough. After knowing her for so long, he knew that
Stella actually had a good personality. Everything can be discussed with her. Even if she occasionally
suspected that he had ulterior motives, she would not talk in such a harsh way.
But this time, she didn’t show any mercy indeed.
Just when he was thinking of words that could make the awkward situation more comfortable, there
was a knock at the door of the lounge.
While carrying a tray, Sherry brought two glasses of water to the lounge.
Noticing the atmosphere in the lounge, she couldn’t help but swallow hard.
‘Why is the atmosphere so depressing?’
After placing the glasses on the table, she was about to leave the lounge. Daniel grabbed her wrist,
“Why don’t you sit here and talk too?”
Sherry didn’t reply to his question.
‘There is something wrong with that person!’
She even thought that she was too slow in escaping from this place.
But there was an outsider here at that moment. She was also nervous, “What should I talk…talk
about?”
“You should persuade Ms. Radomil not to go to the Steward Group.”
After Daniel had finished speaking, Stella got up, “There is no need for that. I have already made my
decision. I will not change my decision.”
While speaking, Stella slightly nodded at them, “I still have work to do. Excuse me.”
Seeing that Stella had left the lounge, Sherry lifted her leg and wanted to follow her.
But Daniel was still holding her wrist.
As for Daniel, he had totally no intention of letting go of her wrist.
William got up, didn’t say anything and left the lounge silently.
After he had left the lounge, Sherry struggled and said, “What are you doing? Let go of my wrist now!”
Daniel said, “We didn’t finish talking yesterday.”
“We have nothing left to talk about. If I get married, you will not give me money as a wedding gift. What
else can we say?”
“Must you get married?”
‘That is certainly not a must for me.’
After pausing for a while, Sherry raised her head and looked at him, “Yes. If I don’t get married, I will be
single for the rest of my life.”
Daniel frowned, “Do you have to get married to him?”
“I think that he is quite a nice person. Why not?”
“You have known him for only one day. How can you tell?”
“It is called love at first sight. You don’t understand.”
After Sherry had finished talking, she pulled her hand out of Daniel’s palm and left without looking back.
Daniel looked at her back and licked his teeth.
……
After exiting the lounge, Sherry went to Stella’s office. She knocked on the door, pushed the door open
and saw Stella. Stella was in a daze while looking out the window.
Sherry walked up to her and reached out to wave her hand in front of Stella’s face, “Stella, what are
you thinking about?”
Stella recollected herself and shook her head, “Nothing.”
She didn’t know what had happened to her just now. She actually talked in such a harsh way.
In the past, it was Daniel who had been contacting her. In the worst-case scenario, Emmett would
communicate with her.
But he personally came and met her this time.
It was apparent that he really didn’t want her to go to the Steward Group.
No matter what, it was for her own good.
However, she was unable to control her emotions for some time.
Sherry pulled a chair and sat beside her. She let out a sigh, “But everything they said just now also
actually made sense. Your opinion is also right. In this world, there is no solution that can benefit both
parties at the same time. Since you have already made your decision, you should go ahead and do it.”
Stella rubbed the area between her eyebrows and smiled, “Okay.”
At that moment, Sherry’s phone vibrated. She took her phone out, glanced at it and then said, “Stella,
are there any good movies recently?”
Stella raised her brows, “The man you met on the blind date?”
“Yes. He is asking me out for a movie and wants me to choose a movie.”
Stella replied, “I have not recently gone to a cinema. But it seems that Winnie’s movie has been
released. I see that the reviews of this movie are quite good. You can go and watch that.”
Sherry immediately started to type her response. She said at the same time, “Okay. We will go and
watch that movie. No wonder I have not seen her a lot of times lately. It turns out that she has been
busy promoting the movie. Last time, she complained to me that she has only a few days off for the
whole year. Poor thing! Her boss is really heartless.”
Stella didn’t reply to her words.
