Winnie had dinner and chatted with them until half past ten.
Because she drank a little wine and didn't drive her car, she took a taxi to go home.
On the way back, Winnie leaned against the window and kept looking out. Nobody knew what she was
thinking.
She looked a little distracted.
She entered the building and took the elevator. Her mobile phone vibrated. It was her friends who
reminded her to ask about the new product of Starry Sky.
She almost forgot.
Winnie kneaded her swollen painful temple and sent a voice message to Stella while getting out of the
elevator.
"My friend wants the pair of earrings I wear today, but they are out of stock online. I want to ask if there
are those in your studio. If so, I'll ask her to come tomorrow..."
Winnie suddenly stopped and release the voice button.
She asked, "Why are you....?"
Channing squatted at the door of her house, looking at his mobile phone. His jaw was sharper under
the reflection of the light from the phone screen.
Next to him were two bags of fruit and vegetables from the supermarket.
Seeing Winnie, Channing packed up his cell phone and stood up.
Winnie said, "When did you come here?"
Channing pursed his lips, "Not long ago."
Winnie didn't believe it. She looked at the supermarket shopping bag on the ground in which some ice
had melted. There was a small pool of water on the ground.
A guess arose in her mind. She asked in surprise, "Did you come here after school?"
Channing didn't speak, and just picked up the shopping bag.
Winnie knew that she was right.
As she opened the door, she said, "Why didn't you call me when you came, or you could stay in the
security room. I can't believe you've been here for so long."
Channing whispered, "I'm afraid you're busy, so I didn't bother you."
Winnie's action of opening the door paused for a moment. For a moment, she had a flutter that even
her breathing got heavier.
What he just said captivated her.
In the morning, he acted like a gutsy little wolf, but in the evening, he became an obedient puppy.
He switched between the two so freely.
Who could resist that?
Winnie coughed and finally opened the door, "Come in first."
Channing took the things in his hand and went directly into the kitchen.
Winnie came over, and stood behind, explaining hesitantly, "I'm not busy with my work tonight. I just
had dinner with your sister and... Don't wait for me like this next time. Call me directly. Even if I'm really
busy, I'll reply immediately when I see your message. It's better than waiting here for a few hours."
Channing took out the things in the shopping bag one by one and put them in the refrigerator. He
replied with a light voice, "I thought you would tell me the password directly."
Winnie, "..."
Winnie, "No way!"
A faint smile flickered across Channing's lips. He agreed with a gentle "hm".
Winnie sat at the table. Probably because she had not slept well last night and had been running
around all day, she was really tired. She asked in a feeble voice, "Is there anything to drink? The wine
makes me thirsty."
Channing took a bottle of juice from the shopping bag, unscrewed it and handed it to her.
Winnie drank half a bottle at one sitting.
Channing put the food in the refrigerator and said, "There are fruits, vegetables and vegetarian food. If
you don't know what to eat, open the fridge and have a look."
Winnie slowly put down the juice and said idly, "I think you're wasting your time. When I open the fridge
on a whim, the things in it should have gone bad."
Channing paused and said, "I said before. I'll come here and cook for you."
Winnie supported her head on the table with one hand. She didn't know whether it was because she
had drunk the wine, but her question became bolder, "Why do you like me? I seem to have nothing but
good looks and better acting skills. What's more you are not starstruck, so there's no reason...
"I am superficial, and I like beautiful women."
Winnie said seriously, "There are many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, especially young
girls. JH Film has signed several girl groups recently. They are around your age. You should spend
more time with them."
Channing said, "They are not as beautiful as you."
Winnie probably didn't expect him to talk so directly. She was stunned, but the trace of a smile
appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Everyone likes to be called beautiful. Especially by the boys they like.
She felt very excited.
Channing closed the refrigerator door and took his bag, "I'm leaving. Go to bed earlier."
Winnie was dizzy. He came and went in a hurry, which made her a little confused.
After a long time, she said, "It's so late now. Is there a subway?"
Channing said, "I'll take a taxi. I have class tomorrow morning."
"Well... Be careful on the way."
After walking a few steps, Channing suddenly turned back, tenderly hold her face, and gave her a
passionate kiss, then turned to leave.
Winnie was in a daze.
After Channing left, she felt the whole room become quiet.
What had just happened was like a dream for her.
Winnie laid prone on the table and suddenly began to wonder who's taken for a ride?
She felt that they seemed to be going in the opposite direction of "just having fun".
At this time, her phone on the table vibrated. Stella sent a message.
Stella: [There seems to be a pair of samples in the studio. You can ask your friend to come and get
them tomorrow.]
Looking at the text, Winnie was even more reluctant to face the reality....
After sending a message to Winnie, Stella remembered what had happened that afternoon.
She took out her phone and wanted to ask Channing what had happened, but she gave up one second
before the phone was dialed.
Well, he knew his own feelings.
It's not appropriate for her to ask too many questions.
But it was almost twelve o'clock, and Clarence hadn'tome back yet.
Stella was so drowsy, but she was worried that Clarence didn't have dinner. She ordered lots of take-
out and go to sleep after leaving Nathan's number.
Not knowing how long it had been, she woke up and it was already morning. Looking at the figure in
the room, Stella rubbed her eyes and sat up for a few minutes. She said with a tired voice, "Have you
just come back, or are you going out?"
Clarence turned around and asked in a hushed voice, "Did I wake you?"
Stella shook his head.
Clarence came over and gently hugged her, "Go back to sleep."
His body was cool, and it was obvious that he had just come back.
Stella slept well this night and gradually regain her full consciousness. She found a comfortable
position to lean on Clarence's chest, "Have you been busy lately?"
" A little, but I can squeeze time for making a baby."
Stella wanted to punch him.
"Can't this man be serious for a minute?!"
Stella didn't want to talk to him.
Clarence said with a smile, "Alright. Sleep with me for a while."
A glance at the clock. It was just six o'clock.
It's early indeed.
Stella closed her eyes again, but whispered, "Aren't there lounges in the office? You might as well
sleep over there."
Clarence replied with a low voice, "I'm afraid you'll worry that you won't see me when you wake
up."
