And just like that, the tension in the air was smoothened out, and they got out of being in the
spotlight.Weston asked, “How are you feeling?”
Stella nodded.
“Fine."
"If you don't feel well, you can go upstairs and rest first.” She responded and glanced at her toes.It had
been a while since she wore high heels, so it was a little uncomfortable.He told her to lean on him to
save some energy.
When she was in the Stardust Mansion , she practically ran around the house in her slippers, not
having to care about her behavior.Weston was watching her demeanor.
Xavier and Daisy came from the other side.
"How rare it is that you are actually willing to bring out such a precious woman to meet people.” He
spoke with a smile, but his words smelled of gunpowder.
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.Weston frowned and stood in front of Stella in silence.He
looked at Xavier.
"Why don't you care about your company since you have time to care about my woman?”
Although most of the executive power of the FordCorporation was slowly moving into Weston's hand,
Xavier still held a certain amount of weight in the company. It was just that he had been fooling around
some years ago and couldn't reach the center of power.But now, he was working hard.
Unfortunately, although his performance was fairly good, he was still not as convincing as Weston.
If there was no Weston, or if he were mediocre, he would never get his turn to be the heir.It should be
Xavier, in any case.
This had always been his sore spot.
When Weston said that, his face changed immediately.
“It’s Father’s eightieth birthday today.There is no need to talk about work.” Daisy also tried to smooth
things over.
“Indeed.Let's not talk about work on such an occasion.” She smiled and looked at Stella asif trying to
butter her up.
“Where have you been all this time? I've tried to contact you several times for shopping, but I couldn't
find you in person." Not only her, but even Bradley, Yvonne, and Angelina had also failed to get in touch
with her.
Stella curled her lips.
“I don’t like to go out much.Sorry.” She was not targeting Daisy, but she had no way out.
Weston wrapped his arm around her waist and swept a glance over the two people in front of him
briefly.
"If there's nothing else, we shall leave first." Xavier sneered.
He emptied his glass of wine and put the glass on the tray heavily.His eyes were filled with reluctance.
Daisy advised him.
“You know Stella is his sweetheart .You should not use her to provoke him every time...”
When Xavier heard that, he glared at her.
“Since when can you teach me what to do?”
“I am not.I just don't want to see you two going at it…Besides, what's in it for you to go against him?"
“And what good does it do if you speak up for him?” he interrupted her icily.
“Don't forget that you were my woman when you were his secretary.”
“I haven’t forgotten about that.”
“Good.” He coldly shook off her hand and turned to leave.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from afar and paused in his tracks.It was as if he saw Zeta walk past
him.
"Zeta..." He called out her name out of instinct and automatically walked in her direction.
They had not met each other for a long time.
Zeta had disappeared from his life since the last time he announced that he had broken off his
engagement with her tobe with Daisy.It hadn’t made much of a difference at first.
He felt that he had always treated Zeta with the same affection as a sister and never had any other
feelings toward her.
The kiss…It could only be regarded as an accident.
