After the shooting was done, Stella was responsible for the rest of publicity and promotion. Meanwhile,
the online warm-up was also going quite smoothly.
But Sherry could still tell that Stella was not that happy.
She often looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze. No one could tell what she was thinking
since she had been sitting there for the whole afternoon.
After Sherry was done with what she was doing, she walked to her and called, “Stella, Stella?”
Hearing someone calling her, Stella finally retracted her thoughts and confronted her gaze, “Yes?
What's the matter?”
Sherry replied, “Nothing serious. I am just ordering afternoon tea. What do you want?”
Stella said, “I don't have much of an appetite. You go ahead.”
Sherry didn't leave in a hurry, but sat down and asked in a quiet voice, “Did you quarrel with Mr.
Conrad?”
Upon hearing this, Stella paused and shook her head slightly, “No.”
“Then... Did some happen to Channing?”
Stella continued to shake her head.
Sherry asked tentatively, “Then what's wrong? What can I help you?”
Words were at the tip of her tongue, but Stella didn't know how to tell her the whole story, all these
things. It was complicated and embarrassing.
She just rubbed her eyebrows, “It's nothing, maybe it's because I haven't rested well recently.”
Sherry suddenly remembered that she was getting ready for pregnancy. She smiled knowingly, “I know
you're trying to have another baby, but you have to pay attention to your body. Mr. Conard is too
indulged in this.”
Stella didn't know how she came to such a conclusion.
In order to prevent Sherry from talking any more nonsense, Stella got up and sent her out. And then
she shut herself in the office, watching the sun setting in the distance.
After a long time, she retracted her gaze and stared at the empty draft book.
She hadn't drawn anything for several days.
When it was about to get off work, the medicine that Archer sent to her arrived, including the medicine
for Sherry.
After returning home, Stella put the medicine in the refrigerator and send Sherry's medicine to her with
the box.
She said to Sherry, “This is the medicine for a week. The medicine needs to be kept at a low
temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator. Three times a day. After you finish them, Archer will
send the rest of the medicine in the treatment.”
Sherry nodded, “I see, please do send my gratitude to him.”
Stella continued, “I have already told him about your mother's condition, but he has been a bit busy
lately. Your mother's body also needs to recuperate slowly, and you may need to wait for a while.”
“Sure. No hurry. We can wait.”
“Okay, then, I'll go back first.”
“Stella.” Sherry stopped her and asked suspiciously, “You really didn't quarrel with Clarence, did you?”
Stella laughed, “Of course not.”
“If he bullies you, just tell me, I'll help you...help you scold him!”
“Don't worry, you don't know who is the bully here.”
Sherry was in awe of her instantly and couldn't help but give her a thumb up, “You are so awesome.”
It seemed that she was the only one who could actually "suppress" Clarence.
Stella smiled, “Well, I really have to go now. He'll be back for dinner in a while, I need to cook.”
“Right. Bye then!”
After Stella left, Sherry organized the refrigerator and put the medicine box in.
She cleared out many expired items in the refrigerator.
Most of them were bought while Daniel was still here.
All of these were fresh food and the shelf life was only a few days.
Sherry threw everything into the trash can, and then strolled downstairs to throw them away.
When she came back, she happened to be in the same elevator with Clarence.
Sherry stood at the back, looking at the grim man in front of her. She tried to speak a few times, but she
held back her words.
Clarence glanced at her, “You want to say something?”
Sherry laughed, “Good evening, Mr. Conard. Are you going home?”
Clarence didn't speak. The way he looked at Sherry had fully revealed how stupid Sherry's question
was at the moment.
The reason why Sherry wanted to talk but failed was because she thought it was a personal matter
between Stella and Clarence. She couldn’t say anything to them, and Stella had already said that there
was no quarrel.
But... she was really worried about Stella because she was not in the right mood in the past two days.
Sherry was in a dilemma.
Soon, the elevator stopped.
Clarence didn't go out immediately, just watched the elevator door open and slowly close again.
He spoke, “Is something wrong with Stella?”
“Huh?” Hearing his words, Sherry replied, “Ah...it's not a big deal. It’s just that, Stella looked a bit down
these days. Even I could tell that she had lost weight. She said it’s because she didn't have a good
rest. But I don’t think this is the truth...”
While talking, Sherry murmured again, “Even back then when she was preparing for the Fashion Week,
she stayed up all night to get the design drafts done, and she would still look better than now. Since we
aren’t doing Fashion Week and she is still taking medicine to recuperate her body. Why is she getting
worse?”
Clarence frowned slightly, “What?”
Sherry immediately looked up, “Stella wasn't in the right mood.”
“The next sentence.”
“She wasn't going to Fashion Week?”
Clarence bit his thin lips slightly, and he was silent for two seconds before saying, “The next sentence.”
Sherry thought about it carefully, and tentatively said, “She was taking medicine to recuperate her
body?”
Clarence's voice was a little cold, “When did she started to take medicine?”
“Well... it’s been a while.”
Sherry was a little confused. Didn't Clarence know about this?
Clarence said, “Have you met her doctor?”
Sherry was even more confused, “I haven't met the doctor who sent her medicine. Um…the one from
the James family. Stella said it's the doctor who's also taking care of the little one...”
Clarence pressed the elevator's door button, and strode out without a word.
Sherry scratched her eyebrows. Damn. Did she say something wrong?
She walked to the door of her room. Thinking about the look on Clarence's face just now, she was still
a bit worried. She walked to their door and pressed her ears against it tightly.
No quarreling, please. She prayed.
Inside the department…
Stella had just cut the vegetables and was about to turn on the stove when she heard the sound of
door opening.
She glanced out of the kitchen and said to Clarence, “You go take a shower first. The dinner ready
when you're out...”
Before she could finish her words, Clarence had already walked up to her.
Looking at the man's solemn eyes, Stella whispered, “What's the matter?”
Clarence looked at her pointed chin and suddenly realized that Sherry was right, she had lost weight
recently.
He raised his hand and touched her neck with his big palm. His voice was very low, “Are you feeling
uncomfortable?”
Stella was stunned, “No...”
“Then how come you've lost weight?”
Upon hearing the words, Stella subconsciously looked away, avoiding his gaze.
