Chapter 158
Hearing her words, Stella raised her eyebrows, “I guess there’s no such thing.”
“I want to go to college again too. How wonderful it was to fall in love when I was a student. I haven’t experienced the feeling of falling in love for a long time.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“I think he will decide it himself. I asked him last time and he…”
Thinking about the conversation they had at that time, Stella couldn’t help but smile and shake her head.
After the two of them chatted for a while, someone knocked on the door of the private room and the waiter started to serve the food.
Just then, a figure passed by the door and subconsciously looked over. She was stunned for a while when he looked at them and reversed his direction, walking into the private room, “Why are you guys here?”
Sherry and Stella looked up at the same time and saw that the person standing at the door was Winnie.
Winnie had been busy shooting for her film for the past few months. When she heard that Stella having an accident, she had called Stella to give regards to her, but she didn’t expect to run into them when she had just returned.
Stella said, “Are you eating here too?”
“Yes, I’m eating here with Cla…” She did not finish her sentences as she felt that it was quite awkward. She laughed dryly and said, “My boss has to attend a dinner here to discuss the investment of a movie. So he asks me to follow him here.”
Sherry didn’t realize at all that who was the boss she was referring to, “Then when are you going to finish the dinner. We will wait for you as we happen to be waiting for Stella’s brother as well.”
Winnie’s eyes moved rapidly for a while and she smiled, “I think the dinner will end soon. I will tell them I’m coming here and come over. You guys can eat first when Stella’s brother is here. No need to wait for me as I’ve already eaten quite a lot.”
“Okay, you may go back first.”
After Winnie left, Sherry picked up a piece of pre-dinner dessert. When she ate the food, she suddenly realized something.
Winnie was an artist under Conrad Group, then wasn’t her boss…
Sherry felt that the food in her mouth instantly became tasteless. The food dropped down from the chopstick and fell into the bowl.
She felt that they were too fucking unlucky. It had been two months since they busy doing their work. Now they came into a restaurant recommended by a friend and they did not expect that the wretched man was also here.
She slowly moved her head around to observe Stella’s reaction. She was drinking water and when she noticed that Sherry was gazing at her, she smiled, “What’s wrong?”
“Hahaha, nothing. Stella, don’t just drink water. We need to wait for Chan for a while. Eat some food first.”
As she spoke, she took her chopstick and kept putting vegetables into Stella’s bowl, piling up the food in her bowl in no time.
Stella was speechless.
Meanwhile, in the private room next to theirs…
Winnie sat down and took a sip of water as she planned. Then, she used the cup of water to hide her facial expression and glanced at the man next to her with the corner of her eyes.
Clarence looked at her coldly. Without saying a word, he made Winnie have a guilty conscience.
After sitting for a while, she guessed that she had the right emotions. She put down the water cup and coughed, “Mr. Conrad, everyone, I just received a phone call. Something happened to my family. I have to go now. Please help yourselves.”
But she didn’t expect that when she had just picked up her bag, she heard Clarence’s cold voice, “What happened?”
“Just… some personal matters. Thanks for your concern.”
Clarence looked up at her as if he could read her mind.
It seemed like he was saying that the look Winnie displayed didn’t look like she was having a personal matter.
Winnie knew that the wretched man was not easy to deal with. She smiled, “Actually, it’s because I met two friends when I went out just now and I hadn’t met them for a long time, so…”
Clarence said coldly, “Are you the main actor of the film or me?”
Winnie knew that he was taunting her for having a bad working attitude and her irresponsibility.
She was so smart to say, “I think the details that we’ve discussed just now are enough, so you can decide the rest of the details. I also know that my actions today are impolite. But I am very sorry. My
friend had a bad relationship before as she met a scum. She suffered a lot of damage physically and mentally. I have to go comfort her and express my concern to her.”
Clarence was speechless.
He said impolitely, “I think you have nothing better to do.”
At this time, the other people in the room laughed to ease the unsettling atmosphere, “Winnie is right. I think the details that we’ve discussed just now are enough. Mr. Conrad, we can discuss the rest of the details. We should really express our concern to them when our friends met some problems.”
Winnie also agreed, “Yes. My friend is a nice person. She is pretty and capable, but I don’t know who the wretched man who is so silly to do something to hurt her feelings is.”
Clarence’s temples pulsed for a moment and his handsome face displayed a cold and gloomy look.
Before Clarence got angry, Winnie quickly left the room.
When she reached the next room, Winnie even deliberately turned her head to check if Clarence suspected her before she pushed open the door.
In the private room, Channing had already arrived.
Channing smiled and greeted him, “Hi, handsome boy.”
Channing remained silent as he didn’t know what to say.
Only after Winnie sat down did Sherry ask her in a whisper, “Didn’t your boss say anything as you just came over like this?”
“No, I scolded him, but I am sure that he doesn’t know what I mean.”
Sherry smiled as if she understood Winnie’s words and picked up her glass to make a toast to Winnie.
Channing frowned and asked Stella, “What are they talking about?”
Stella picked up a piece of fish for him and she looked calm, “It’s their business. Leave them alone. Eat more.”
Channing was speechless.
Halfway through the meal, Stella went to the washroom.
But what she didn’t expect was that just after she washed her hands and came out, she saw the man standing not far away smoking.
Stella wasn’t surprised the moment she saw him.
She slowly averted her gaze from him, pretending that she didn’t see him. She was about to leave when she heard the man’s low and cold voice, “Stella.”
Stella closed her eyes and took a shallow breath before looking at him again with an extremely perfunctory smile, “Oh, it’s Mr. Conrad. I really didn’t expect to see you here. Are you here for dinner too?”
The way she spoke to him was polite and indifferent as if they did not have a close relationship.
Clarence looked at her indifferently, “Of course.”
“Ah… looking at your look, I thought you were going to destroy this restaurant.”
Clarence was speechless.
He put out his cigarette and he looked a bit annoyed, “Can’t you talk politely?”
Stella’s expression gradually turned calm, “Mr. Conrad also knows that the way I speak is like this. If you don’t like me, you can also…”
“Shut up.”
“Okay.”
Stella also had no intention of spending any more time with him there. She directly strode and left the place.
Looking at her back, Clarence licked his teeth. He relit a cigarette and bit it between his lips before smiling suddenly.
She was still so eloquent.
When Stella returned to the private room, Sherry asked, “Stella, what took you so long?”
