“Just go,” replied the coworker as he waved his hand. “You folks with kids are a pain.”
She wasn’t upset since they were so close. However, if the same remarks had come from others, she
would have fought them.
Tina sighed. “I’m so sorry. If you’re in trouble next time, I’ll cover up for you as well.”
At the restaurant.
Justin was still walking down the hallway. When no one replied, he pulled out his phone and dialed
Stella’s number.
Inside the dark room, her phone lit up.
Before it could ring, Stella jumped forward and immediately rejected the call.
She didn’t want Justin to find out that she was in a room with Weston,
Afraid that the drag racing incident might happen again, she didn’t want anybody to be injured
With a placid expression, Weston observed the whole thing. When he saw how terrified she was, he
became delighted. “Are we cheating?”
He purposely whispered the last word besides her ears, provoking her.
She shoved him away with her hand. She would occasionally look at the door, terrified Justin would
discover she was in the room.
Outside the corridor.
Justin’s face darkened as he stared at his phone.
“Hi, can you help me go inside the washroom and check if there’s a lady?” He stopped one of the
waiters passing by. The waiter glanced at him skeptically but agreed when he noticed Justin’s
demeanor. “All right, sir. Wait a minute.”
Not too long later, the waiter walked out. “There’s no one in the washroom,” he informed.” Do you need
our help?”
“No.” Justin firmly rejected.
However, after a moment of silence, he changed his opinion. “Excuse me, can you ask your manager if
I could check the surveillance camera?” Sounding a bit anxious, he continued, “I came here with my
fiancé and son. Please help me take care of my son. My flancé went to the toilet half an hour ago but
hasn’t come back since. I called her earlier, but she rejected my call.” Now that he’d put it that way, the
matter seemed serious, and the waiter nodded immediately
“I’ll inform my manager now. Please don’t worry sir.” Right after she left, Justin dialed the number once
again. When Stella saw her phone lighting up again, she quickly hung up the call. However, she
shuddered upon feeling a sudden warmth behind her ear, and the phone noisily clattered to the ground.
Her whole body froze at that instant, and she didn’t dare to move one inch. She didn’t even dare move
away from Weston.
The next second, the corridor went dead quiet. Not long later, a flurry of footsteps gradually made its
way in her direction.
At first, Justin was merely a little worried, but after being hung up on twice, his mood had. become
complicated, and a million things raced through his mind. Suddenly, a sound came from the private
room beside him, prompting him to instantly tighten his grasp on his phone. His gaze froze as he
remembered Stella telling him that Weston had returned.
He walked slowly to the private room’s door and knocked. “Is anybody inside?” he asked, his voice
steady and calm.
Although he was doing everything he could to suppress his seething anger, Stella could still hear the irk
in his tone.
She sucked in a deep breath and look at Weston. “What are you doing?”
Her whole body trembled, but he took pleasure in seeing her like this. A smirk appeared on his face as
he whispered, “What did he call you? Fiancé?”
