Even if Daisy hated her and was disgusted with her, she still had to take her side. This was so Weston would pay more attention to her.After thinking it through, Daisy said to Weston, “I won’t make such a mistake again. I’ll take care of whoever you care about…”Weston waved his hand and motioned for her to leave. Daisy responded and quickly reverted to being a professional secretary. She arranged his schedule for him and said, “There’s a dinner party at The Dog House tonight. It’s a meeting with the boss of the upcoming steel business in Ahn City. If we work with him, we can have large savings.”“Then arrange it.” Weston agreed to the schedule, so Daisy took the file and left.Weston had no reason to fire Daisy as long as she was efficient and kept her personal feelings to herself at work....Stella finished cleaning up by noon. The nanny was late. “Sorry, Miss Cicily. I’m a little late. Where are the two little ones?”Stella got to know her in Compassvale. She was a nice
“Thanks.” Stella led her to sit down on the sofa and looked at Bradley. She joked with them, “Thanks. You kept your mouth shut and didn’t say a thing, knowing I was still alive. I’m glad Weston didn’t come to disturb my life.”“It was such a big deal.. Of course, I’d keep it a secret!”“I’m not someone with a big mouth,” Angelina said.After she said that, Stella shot her a look.Angelina felt a little weak and covered her mouth. “Well, about Yvonne… It was just a slip of the tongue…”The only people who knew she was still alive were Bradley, Yvonne, and Angelina. She only told them after her situation had stabilized.After all, they were the ones who really cared about her. She did not want to show up one day by surprise suddenly. They might think that she did not take them seriously as friends at all.Stella’s character had matured over the years. She could be indifferent to those she hated but cared about the people she loved more than ever.Bradley did not say anything. H
Weston’s eyes gradually darkened, and his attention drifted from what the person next to him was saying.He was distracted until Daisy nudged him as a reminder. Weston glanced at the people in the room and pointed out all the mistakes they had just said.Daisy froze for a moment. She knew Weston was clearly distracted earlier, but she never expected that he’d still see through their plans at a glance.Weston was born to be in the business world. His perceptiveness and insight were very rare and one of the best in the world.The investors sitting next to Weston heard Weston’s comments and nodded in agreement. “We weren’t going to work with such a young principal initially, but your name is just too big.”One of them casually said, “After this project, we plan to involve ourselves in the entertainment industry. It’s a profitable time. I heard a movie has the potential to earn over a billion or two at the box office.”“That’s true, but you’ll need enough upfront capital to invest,”
Thrilled by his own idea, the man suggested that he introduce someone to Weston. If this worked, a lot of things would be much easier.After all, Weston had abstained from sex for three years. A man would feel the need eventually.The man chanced his arm abroad while observing Weston’s reaction. Weston’s face remained cold and unapproachable in the light.With just one look, he began to feel weak. He thought Weston would reject him.What Weston said next surprised him. Weston said indifferently, “The one in the next room is good.”Everyone in the room was startled by Weston’s reply. Did Weston agree to the suggestion? Did they hear wrongly? Did he not always stay away from women?The guy who proposed it was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted with a smug look. “We’ll get on it!”He knew it. They were all men. How could Weston reject such a suggestion?He probably hadn’t encountered a woman he wanted yet. Was he finally going to break the chaste?“Leave it to us, Mr. Ford.
Stella had a unique sense of charm in the light. Stella’s beauty was immense, so breathtaking that nobody could take their eyes off of her.She had a kind of charm that completely bewitched him. He was staring so hard at her that he almost forgot to reply.When the guy next to him nudged him in the arm, he finally came back to his senses. “I’m so sorry… Come over! Miss, please sit over here. I’ll pour you a glass of wine!”Bradley shot the guy a cold glare. He got up and walked to Stella, “If you don’t want to, I’ll take you out now.”“No, it’s fine.” Stella looked him in the eye and said faintly, “Even if we leave now, he’ll still find ways to come to me later. There’s no need to keep hiding. I’ve done nothing wrong, have I?”Bradley looked at her steadily and did not say anything. At last, he sighed and returned to his seat.Stella glanced at the current seat and saw only one empty spot next to Weston, seemingly left on purpose.She let out a laugh. “I can’t sit next to someon
Daisy kept drinking like she wanted to get herself really drunk.Ben couldn’t stand looking at her like that. “You’re drinking too much. What are you doing to do later? Mr. Ford needs someone to follow up on the details of the contract later,” he asked.Daisy gave him a hard stare. “Can’t I drink a bit? I’m just drinking a little more than I usually do. Was I born to do all the work for him? Can’t I have a little emotion of my own?”Ben gaped, dumbfounded by her question. After a short pause, he said incredulously, “But its’ your job. Mr. Ford is paying you to work. We’re all paid to work, aren’t we?”Daisy spoke and made it sound like Weston was some kind of capitalist who did not pay his employees.Weston naturally had capitalist roots, but he had always been generous to his employees.Ford Corporation did not get to its glory through pure exploitation. It became successful thanks to Weston’s brilliant business acumen and crafty business techniques.Daisy was stunned by Ben’s
Daisy saw how Weston completely lost control of himself. Unable to hold back, he grabbed Stella’s wrist and pulled her to her feet. Stella staggered to her feet and followed him, stumbling a few steps.Bradley was behind Stella, and he wanted to follow her, but Ben immediately grabbed him by the shoulders. He said to him with a cold face, “Sorry. I hope you don’t intervene with Mr. and Mrs. Ford’s private matters.”Daisy watched the two leaving one after the other and felt a little sore in her eyes. She took a deep breath and held back her tears. Then, she said to the others, “It’s fine. Let’s continue with the details of the contract that didn’t work out earlier.”Ben was worried about the way Daisy played it cool. “Are you okay? It’s okay if this project doesn’t work out. Mr. Ford will take care of it.”The project was no longer that important by the look of Weston earlier.Daisy shook her head. She told Ben, “As his secretary, I have to do everything well for him.”...West
Stella’s tone was gentle. She sounded as if she was completely aware of her own hurtful words. Perhaps it was her indifference that cut Weston even deeper.Weston pulled her away to observe her expression from above. Stella’s usually clear eyes seemed a little obscure.She had a smile in her eyes, but she was not smiling.Weston could no longer read her real emotions hidden deep inside. All he could see was just a bubble of illusion.“Stella…” Weston squeezed her shoulder and tightened his grip slowly. “I know you’re saying that on purpose…”“Mr. Ford, you’re overthinking it.”The smile on Stella’s face instantly faded. Stella looked at Weston steadily and cut him off, “Why do I have to say that deliberately? I have a boyfriend. Besides, it has been three years. Do you really think I should keep my chastity for you?”Stella had no idea which word hurt him more.Weston’s eyes changed at once. He clasped her wrist, “You’re my wife. You’re Mrs. Ford. You may have a boyfriend, but
