Prev Chapter Next Chapter

By the time Stella went back to the studio, it had been dark.

After taking the processed silhouette out and confirming with Stella for the release time and content

copy, Sherry smelled a smell of smoke on her body and couldn't help but ask, "Stella, where did you go

afterward?"

Stella said, "I went to find Adolph."

"Adolph Miller?"

Stella nodded gently, "I wanted him to help me find someone."

Sherry was a bit scared, saying, "The place where Adolph is staying is rather dodgy. Weren’t you afraid

when you went there just now?"

Stella smiled, "Not at all. I grew up in a place like that when I was a child."

The nearby surroundings of the place where they had lived before were similar to where she had been

today.

Every time she went home after getting off school, she would inevitably pass by there.

The women standing on the street teased her frequently. And she was no less threatened by the

gangsters.

But the women teasing her would also curse and drive the drunken men away who stood in her way.

The gangsters who threatened her would also push her home with a small cart when she fell and hurt

her leg.

Only after she went to junior high school was the area demolished.

So she knew very well that no one would want to live there for a long time unless they were forced to

do so for a living.

Smiling, Sherry didn’t continue. She quickly brought up another topic, "I checked the weather tomorrow.

It is gonna be sunny. So the photos should look quite nice."

Stella said, "I won’t go with you tomorrow. I'm going back early this evening to cook. Donald has been

complaining for many days. After you are done, come to my home with Winnie. Call me if there's

anything."

"OK," Sherry paused, adding, "Then… Should I call Chan as well?"

Stella was silent for a few seconds before saying, "This time, no need."

With what happened between Chan and Winnie, they’d better not bump into each other on such an

occasion.

The two of them should handle their affairs first.

Stella said again, "Have you contacted the models?"

Sherry responded, "Yes. I've contacted two backups. No more issues will occur this time."

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office.

A young girl in the studio said, "Sherry, your boyfriend is here to pick you up."

Sherry smiled less brightly. And she turned back, saying, "I know. Ask him to wait for me outside for a

while."

The little girl agreed and left.

Stella flipped open the draft book in front of her, saying, "Well, it's late. Go eat."

Sherry said, "What about you? When are you going back?"

Noticing the smell of smoke on her body, Stella found that it was indeed strong.

If Clarence came back and smelled it, he would lecture her again.

She said, "I'll revise this draft and get ready to go home."

"Okay." Sherry said, "Then I'm leaving."

Stella nodded: "Okay."

Sherry went back to the office to fetch her bag and left the studio.

Holding a bouquet in his hands, Brandon was waiting for her not far away.

Sherry walked over, saying, "Sorry. I just finished my work, making you wait for too long."

Brandon smiled, "It's okay."

With that, he handed her the flowers in his hands, "It's for you."

Feeling stunned, Sherry didn’t take it over for a moment, hesitantly saying, "It is not a holiday today,

right?"

Brandon said, "No, it's just that I saw this bouquet on my way here, thinking that they look quite

beautiful and you will like them. Of course, I am here to apologize to you."

Sherry was confused, asking, "Apologizing to me?"

Brandon said, "I worked overtime late last night, failing to come to pick you up."

Sherry laughed, "Well, in fact, I worked overtime for shooting yesterday. And I wasn’t in the studio.

Fortunately, you didn’t come. Otherwise, you would have come in vain."

After she finished her words, neither of them spoke again.

Both of them felt slightly awkward.

A few moments later, Sherry reached out and took the flowers over, saying, "Thank you, they are

indeed quite beautiful. I like them very much."

Brandon smiled, "It's good if you like it."

Sherry walked while saying, "What are we going to eat today?"

"My friend recommended a Japanese restaurant to me. It is said that the food there tastes delicious.

And the ingredients are directly transported from Japan. Go try it?"

Sherry said, "Will the food there be too expensive?"

Working in a state-owned enterprise, Brandon had a stable job and yet didn’t earn a high salary.

He had been treating Sherry to free meals all these times, for which she was embarrassed.

So she had mentioned that they could treat each other to a meal by turns.

But Brandon dismissed it, saying that a meal wouldn’t cost him much money.

It wasn’t appropriate for her to say anything else, so she could only give him some gifts of a similar

price as that of a meal.

But if the ingredients were transported from Japan, the meal should cost them at least a few thousand

dollars.

Brandon said, "It's okay. My friend is a regular customer there. He can give us a discount."

Seeing that he was eager to eat there, Sherry nodded, "Okay, let's go here then."

At worst, she would go dutch with him then.

When they arrived at the Japanese restaurant which Brandon recommended, Sherry put down the

flowers in her hands, saying, "Order first. I'm going to the bathroom."

Brandon said, "Okay."

Upon coming out of the bathroom, Sherry saw a woman applying lipstick there.

The woman was wearing a tight burgundy dress with curly hair. And her makeup rendered her flashy

and beautiful.

Sherry looked at her in the mirror, smiling politely.

However, the woman grunted, put away her lipstick, and left.

Sherry was speechless, thinking, “What the hell! She is much more detestable than Madison!”

She walked back while sending a voice message to Stella, "Unexpectedly, she ignored me! This is the

first time I've met someone who is even more rude and annoying than Madison. I swear that I will never

say anything bad about Madison again!"

By the time she finished sending the voice message, she had been back to her position.

After she was seated, Brandon asked, “I ordered the dishes. What would you like to drink?”

She ordered a cold drink.

The waiter took the order and left.

Brandon initiated a conversation, "You told me before that you are going to find a spokesperson for

your studio. Did you film a commercial endorsement yesterday?"

Sherry nodded, "Yes. We originally wanted to shoot today as well. However, because of the rain before,

it was postponed to tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow, you..."

Before Brandon could finish his words, someone stood next to them.

Sherry looked up and saw that it was the woman she had met just now in the bathroom.

As Brandon saw her, his face changed.

The woman, on the contrary, smiled and said to Brandon, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Between her words, there was a bit of disdain and mockery.

Brandon responded gloomily, "What do you want?"

"Nothing." The woman took out a pen from her bag, adding, "You left this at my house last

night."
