She knocked on the door, feeling a bit nervous as she waited.What if Stephen was in a robe again tonight? She wasn’t sure she’d be able to keep her composure this time.Just as her thoughts started to spiral, the door opened.“There you are.” Stephen stood there, fully dressed. His white shirt was buttoned all the way to the top, neat and proper, giving off a cold, almost ascetic vibe.The moment Stellar saw him, a flicker of disappointment crept across her face. The light in her eyes dimmed.Well, maybe it wasn’t just a flicker. It was quite a lot of disappointment.Stephen noticed it. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.The same tactic might be charming once, but used two or three times, it started to feel deliberate.Tonight, he had intentionally covered up, knowing it would stir something deeper—something more instinctive. And next time? He’d pick a different setting. The payoff might be even better…With that thought, he turned and walked back inside. “Come in.”“Oh…” S

"I must apologize to this lady for my rudeness earlier at the exhibition," the man said as he took a business card from his pocket and handed it to her. "I actually admire your capabilities. I just couldn’t bring myself to admit it earlier due to pride. I wonder if I could still have the honor of exchanging contacts with you?"The speed at which this foreigner flipped his attitude was faster than turning a page.Still, since he had made the gesture, Stellar accepted his card out of politeness and handed over hers as well.Stephen didn’t trust the man’s intentions, but he had always respected Stellar’s choices. He didn’t intervene.After a few more pleasantries, they finally walked away.Once they were some distance away, Stephen spoke up. “Be careful. He might not be as well-meaning as he seems.”“Don’t worry. That guy’s no match for me. If he really wants to stir up trouble, I won’t back down,” Stellar said, clearly confident.Stephen agreed and didn’t press the issue. He changed the

Linus accepted the order. "Yes, Boss. I’ll do my best to get it done."Meanwhile, Stellar remained unaware of any of this. She was busy exchanging insights with representatives from various countries. The atmosphere was warm and collaborative, with her quietly becoming the focal point of the gathering.Watching her command the room with such confidence, Percy felt a jolt in his chest. He couldn’t look away.He had just seen with his own eyes how capable she was. Even in front of a crowd of foreign delegates, she remained poised and fearless.Once the group conversation naturally eased and a gap formed around her, Percy gathered his courage and stepped forward again."Stellar, you were incredible just now. I didn’t see your worth before. I overlooked your talent." His voice carried a trace of genuine remorse.But Stellar didn’t even flinch. Her tone was cool. "Then do me a favor and stay away from me. That would be the greatest respect you could show."She turned and went on chattin

The moment those words were spoken, the entire venue buzzed with discussion."Exactly! Technology in Capital City has advanced rapidly over the years. With a larger population, it’s only natural that finding elite talent is easier for them.""That Linus was way too arrogant! He completely dismissed them, and now it’s backfired on him. Serves him right."Seeing Linus's face turn ashen, Stellar didn’t hold back. Her voice was clear and carried through the room."As aerospace engineers, we should respect and learn from one another. Every country has its strengths. Take your B250 airliner, for example—it’s impressive, yes, but over 30% of its components come from suppliers in our country. "Without our contributions, could you really have built it on your own?"Someone from Capital City chimed in, "Exactly! What’s with Norton city always acting so high and mighty? Our technology has already surpassed theirs in many ways, yet they still live in a chauvinistic fantasy."At that moment, Step

The distant roar of jets from the outdoor flight demonstration echoed through the exhibition hall, blending with the sharp scent of metal and the sleek atmosphere of high technology.“Whoa, look over there…” Winnie pointed excitedly toward the Norton city pavilion just ahead. A crowd had gathered around, listening intently as one of the engineers gave a passionate explanation. Media crews swarmed the area, cameras rolling, flashes going off nonstop.“This is seriously impressive,” she said, her eyes full of envy.Stellar let out a soft laugh. “Well, it is their home turf, after all.”The mood remained relaxed as the trio continued to take in the sights of the exhibition.Until the peace was shattered by a cutting voice laced with mockery.“Guess what I just saw? Can you believe there are people from Capital City who actually think they belong at a show of this level? "Where do they even get the nerve? I doubt they could put together a basic passenger jet, let alone an advanced fight

Stellar was still feeling a little awkward about the events from the night before, so she didn’t notice anything unusual about him as she followed him inside to wait.But then, her gaze inadvertently swept over the bed and landed on a trash bin beside it, where some clothing had been tossed."Why did you throw your clothes away?"She frowned in confusion. After all, Stephen was wearing pajamas from one of the most expensive brands. What a waste to just throw them out.Stephen froze, realizing too late that he’d forgotten about that. His mind went blank for a second, unable to come up with an excuse in time.Stellar, oblivious, walked straight over. “Did they get dirty? I can take them back and help wash them later.”Just as she reached out, Stephen’s eyes widened. In a flash, he rushed over and stepped in front of her, blocking her hand.“No need!”Stellar blinked, confused.His heart pounded like a drum as he quickly came up with a reason. “They’re ruined.”“Huh?”She was surprised

It made her feel like some kind of shameless flirt.Feeling irritated, she shot back, “I don’t need any.”Stephen didn’t seem to mind. With casual grace, he brought the glass to his lips and tilted his head back, draining it in one smooth motion.A trickle of deep red wine slid from the corner of his mouth, down his collarbone, and disappeared into his chest.The air thickened with the scent of wine and something darker—intoxicating. It was enough to make her head spin, like all rational thought had been poured out with the wine.Stellar shot up from the sofa. “Well, the issue’s resolved, so I’ll head back and rest! Good night!”She couldn’t stay a second longer because she was afraid she’d completely lose control.She rushed out the door, closed it behind her, and practically fled back to her own room. She turned off the lights and went straight into bed. She shut her eyes and forced herself to sleep.But no matter how many times she turned over, her mind kept replaying Stephen—ev

Just as she was about to knock, she realized the door was slightly ajar. A warm amber glow spilled out from the gap."Come in," came a deep, magnetic voice from inside.It was so inviting in a way that sent a strange tingle down her spine.Stellar’s heart skipped a beat. "I must have been reading too many romance novels," she scolded herself, quickly shaking the thought away before pushing the door open.What greeted her, however, made her freeze in place.Stephen was lounging on a sleek black leather sofa not far from the entrance, a glass of red wine in hand. He was wearing a loose silk robe, lazily tied at the waist, revealing a sculpted chest and the faint lines of his abs beneath.His legs were casually crossed, the hem of the robe parting to expose toned calves. As he swirled the wine in his glass, the tension in his muscles shifted ever so slightly, making the entire picture somehow more magnetic.Stellar couldn’t look away."Why… why are you dressed like that?" she blurted

The girl looked at them with genuine gratitude. “Thank you both for helping me. I’m Winnie Warren. I owe you a huge debt, and I promise I’ll find a way to repay it.”“No need to be so formal,” Stellar said with a casual wave. “We’re all from Capital City. It’s only right we help each other out.”“I can’t accept that,” Winnie insisted, her tone firm and sincere. “I was raised to repay kindness, or I’d have no conscience. If it’s alright, would you mind sharing your contact info with me?”Perhaps it was the seriousness in her expression—or how earnestly she asked—but Stellar eventually gave in and exchanged contact details with her.“By the way, are you studying abroad here, or just visiting?” Stellar asked politely.“I’m not a student. I’m actually here on behalf of my company to attend an international exhibition…”Winnie shared a bit more about herself, completely at ease. “I’m currently staying at the Hilton Hotel.”Stellar blinked in surprise. “What a coincidence.
