Clearing her throat, she decided that it'll be best if she speaks up at least it's better than standing like a pile of nothing. "Good evening sirs my name is Stella and I'll be the one to serve you guys this night" she bowed lowly and placed the drinks on their table.
"Stella, what an interesting name" the man that first looked up earlier was the one who spoke up.
"Thank you Mr…
"Awwwn sweetie, there's no need for Mr. You can just call me Richard and I'm pretty sure that you've heard of me," he smiled.
Stella looked up at his face and studied it thoroughly then concluded that she hadn't seen or heard of him before. "I'm sorry Mr... I mean Richard but you're wrong I haven't heard of you before" she replied in a polite tone.
The moment that sentence left her mouth, the other two guys stared at themselves looking slightly shocked. "You haven't heard of him before?" The second man sitting next to Davis spoke up and Stella creased her brows. Yes she hasn't heard of him before so what was the big deal?, Stella thought, feeling slightly annoyed and irritated already.
"Then I'm sure you're gonna say that you don't know me" he added and Stella looked at his face too, after studying it thoroughly, she shook her head still concluding that she doesn't know him.
Marcus gasped. Did she just say no, who doesn't know the famous Marcus Gonzalez- a famous actor or who doesn't know Richard Thornton a famous model and if she doesn't know them then that means she won't know this other man sitting next to them, "I bet you're gonna tell me that you don't know this guy sitting beside us" he said and Stella shocked him with her reply.
"Davis McClure, the famous CEO of McClure Investment, a long time producing technology investing factory" she replied.
Richard and Marcus stared at themselves in shock then stared at Davis who just smiled slightly. "Oh don't feel too ahead of yourself Mr, I only know you because my brother is a huge fan of you and talks about you a lot, if he wasn't then I won't even know you" she added causing the rest to blink.
Davis's phone slowly fell from his hand and he slowly looked up at her. "What did you say?" He asked.
"You heard me right sir" she replied and began pouring their drinks in their cup.
Davis began staring at her then it all became clear to him, she must be one of those coy girls who needed attention. Maybe that was why she had acted like she didn't know his friends or maybe that was why she had talked to him this way, well if she was one of those girls who needed attention then...
He stared at her from head to toes. Then she has finally gotten his attention because she has everything that he wants, judging from the body and all so maybe a night with this one won't hurt.
"How much?" He spoke up and Stella stopped pouring the drinks.
"Sir?" She looked up slowly and asked.
"I said how much should I pay to have a one night stand with you?" He asked more loudly and clearly and it seems like the other guest sitting on their table heard it because they began turning back to look.
Stella got a bit embarrassed with his question, her cheeks turned slightly red and she looked at Davis with a small and controlled smile. "I'm sorry sir but I'm not interested, '' she replied with a short bow and turned around to leave immediately. If there was one thing she needed to do then it's to get out of here before she loses her temper, things like this are what pisses her off, when a guy feels like he has money, he thinks that he can do whatever he wanted with it not caring if he was going to degrade others feelings.
But before Stella could touch the door handle someone grabbed her forearm and pulled her back. It was the Davis guy, he had just stood up from his seat and chased after her.
"Don't you think you've acted enough, I know you want to accept my money so just accept it already" he said, gripping on her forearm a little tighter.
"Mr Davis please I'd prefer you let go of my arms this instant" Stella replied in a warning tone because she was really losing her temper already.
"Come on Miss, okay I must commend you, you are really a good actress and I promise to make you feel really good to..
Before Davis could complete the word 'Tonight,' Stella had already used her free hands to slap him right across the face, her eyes sparkling with anger as she stared at him. "I think I was clear enough when I told you to let go of my arm" she said with full authority.
Davis, whose face got bent to the left when she slapped him earlier, slowly faced her. Shock and surprise was definitely present on his facial expression, I mean who wouldn't be?
"It seems like you didn't get that quite well Mr, you won't mind me resetting your brain again right?" Stella added and before he could reply, she gave him another slap on his other cheeks, making everyone gasp. "Need more?" She asked again.
Davis slowly let go of her arm and she smiled. "I'm glad that I was able to reset your brain Mr" she smiled and walked out of the room immediately.
The people present at the table were laughing and whispering silently, Davis slowly turned back to see his friends laughing at him too, he clenched his fist tightly and stormed out of the room in anger. Whoever that girl thought she was, she had just messed with the wrong person. He thought as he found his way out of the bar, ignoring all the callings and then entered his expensive car and angrily drove off.
Stella got to the backroom and shut the door angrily then sat on the small stool to calm her breathings. After calming down she began reminiscing about what she had just done. She had promised to be calm no matter what and yet she had lost her temper again, just what exactly has she done?What have you done Stella?, She clenched her fist tight and angrily scolded herself, she bet that if Landon hears about this then he would be angry with her. While thinking, someone opened the back door and she looked up to see her friend coming in with a kind of expression."Stella" Arya called and slowly bent in front of her. "I heard the gist about you, why did you do that?, I thought we agreed to be obedient?" Arya scolded.Stella looked up with her usual pout and bent her head back down. "Arya, I really didn't mean to have acted that way but the man was literally harassing me and I couldn't bear it" Stella replied.Arya sighed, "I know and trust me I really understand your feelings, I know you d
When Stella got to her mother's room, she met her tucked like a baby in bed, looking as peaceful as ever while sleeping. Stella let out a low smile and moved closer to her then on the edge of the bed that was just beside her mother's head, she brought her hands to her mother's face and traced it lightly then bent her face slightly lower to kiss her mom's forehead. She would do literally anything just to see this woman smile because this woman right here has done quite enough for her, Stella was sure that her father's death had affected her mother the most because she really loves him, back then when her father was still alive, Stella would always get tired of watching them practice their lovey dovey and all but now that he's gone, she wishes that she could just see everything one more time.She heaved and raised her head up, she wiped the tears that were threatening to fall off her eyes then stood up. "Goodnight Mom" she flashed a smile before leaving the room. Stella went straight t
The alarm kept ringing nonstop, indicating that it was time for Stella to get up from bed but as lazy as she was, she was finding it really hard to, even though she was inwardly awake but after seeing that there was no use in pretending to be asleep anymore, she lazily stretched her hands towards her alarm clock and turned it off.It was another day, another morning that was going to be like the usual morning, a morning that will be filled with nothing but pure stress. It'll start with her getting up and going to the bathroom, brushing her teeth, showering, drying her hair, looking for a corporate cloth to wear for her morning shift but before that making sure she prepares breakfast for her mother and her brother.Letting out a cute yawn, Stella found her way out of her bed then dragged her lazy ass to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she doesn't know why but she was having the kind of vibes that says everything about today is going to be sour but who's she kidding. This is the kind o
Jace's eyes widened at the lie that his sister had just spat out, he turned to look at her abruptly and she secretly cut her eyes for him. He just smiled and faced his front, his sister will surely make it up to him today."You went to Arya's house? why did you forget your phone at home then, do you know how worried I was" Hannah complained and Stella let out a sad pout. "I'm sorry mom, I didn't mean to make you worry, I thought I'll come back earlier, I didn't know that I'll be back late" she pouted."Naughty girl, don't tell me that you'll be going to Arya's house this evening too?" Hannah rolled her eyes and came to think of it, she has to use that Arya's house excuse again because she would be going on another night shift right?, "Mom actually, Arya isn't done fixing her house yet so I might wanna go there again this evening" she muttered.Hannah could only just look at this daughter of hers. Just what did Arya buy that they would have to spend hours fixing? Shaking her head, she
The moment Stella stepped into the bar, everyone began looking at her, some were even pointing their fingers at her and murmuring. Stella just sighed inwardly knowing that it was the gossip with Davis, I mean if it's not it then what else?"Stella" Stella heard her name and she looked forward to seeing Arya rushing towards her. When Arya got to her, she held her shoulders and stared at her face closely. "Have you seen what is trending all over the news and Media?" Arya asked.Stella just slowly slapped her hands off, walked over to the counter to drop her bag before facing her. "I saw," she replied."And... Don't you have anything to say about it?" Arya asked again, making Stella roll her eyes."What do you expect me to say? It's a rumor and it'll clear up soon" she replied. 'Hopefully' she added that one in her mind."You're in trouble Stella, what if Charles sees this, what are you going to do?" The moment Arya asked that question, Stella realized that it was actually making sense
It was already three o clock and as promised, a car stopped at the front of the bar. It opened and Charles stepped down from it with both hands in his pocket. He had promised to take his girlfriend out for lunch and he is not going to miss it for anything.When Charles stepped foot inside, he noticed how everyone began looking at him and murmuring but he just decided to ignore them. His eyes searched around for his girlfriend and he saw her standing at the counter and having a chat with Arya. A smile appeared on his face and he began moving closer to her."Stella your boyfriend is here" Arya whispered to Stella and Stella immediately spranged up. She turned to her side to see Charles waving at her and she smiled at him. Damn, he was so early and she hasn't even finished packing her bags yet, seems like he misses her a lot and couldn't wait to have lunch with her."Babe you're really early" she pouted."Didn't we agreed three o clock?" He asked casually causing Stella to blink.Yes th
"Boss, the report you asked for yesterday" a man dressed in a neat and corporate suit dropped a white envelope on Davis' table."Thank you Alex" Davis replied in a casual tone, he took the envelope at his front and stared at it before staring back at Alex who was still standing at the front of him like an unmoving statue. "Is this all I need to know about her?" He asked again just to confirm.Alex nodded in nothing but pure assurance and Davis smiled slowly. "You can go" he ordered and Alex could only just do as he was told.Davis sighed and began opening the envelope. Since yesterday when the news about how that girl had humiliated him publicly, the media refused to allow him to rest, his company kept getting calls, reporters had surrounded the company since yesterday, asking questions and causing all these tantrums. Over twenty bodyguards or more had to join hands to drive them out.Yesterday when Davis had got home, his father was waiting for him and just as he had expected, his f
The next morning the same annoying sound of the alarm clock woke Stella up again, she groaned and sat straight. A new day without Charles, how boring would it be? Sighing she dragged herself up from bed, deciding to shower and to do her usual morning routine which was showering then making breakfast for her brother but before that, how about she try calling Charles again, maybe he might finally agree to pick and talk to her.Stella walked up to her phone that was on the small table beside her bed and picked it. The moment she twitched it on, the name and picture Charles appeared on her home screen. Of course last night, Stella had tried calling Charles but he didn't pick despite his phone ringing over and over. She even sent him lots of text messages but he still didn't bother to reply despite seeing them and she could tell that he was really angry at her.Ofcourse Charles wasn't happy since yesterday the moment he saw the news. The fact that his girlfriend couldn't tell him that she
