The elevator had a spooky aura. Joseph was the one who was most uneasy about it. He was limited to tolerating their feelings, particularly Clarence’s. Luckily, the elevator showed quite quickly. Clarence rolled his wheelchair into the elevator before Joseph noticed. without turning around. Distressed, Stella stood in the corner and peered at his back. When she approached, Joseph retreated a short distance and softly questioned, "What's going on? How well did you get along yesterday?" She remained silent and refused to respond to his query. Since she remained silent, Joseph gave up. Returning to her desk, she studied the text in the page while remembering the disdain in Clarence’s icy gaze. It was right that he hated her. Odd. That's what she told him. Nothing to be concerned about. Start working now! Stella gave herself a boost and got back to work. Riley texted her when lunchtime arrived, asking if she had time since she needed to talk to her about something crucial. U
"Well?" Clarence had icy, profound eyes. Stella stood staring at him while holding the quilt with one hand. There appeared to be a crust of ice in her cool eyes. She put it back a few moments later and whispered, "Nothing, as long as you are happy." After that, she turned and strolled over to her ground-level bed. She then went outside. Clarence took offense at her. "Sorry, Mrs. Conrad, we have washed all the quilts today, so they are wet now, so we can't give you now," the embarrassed servant said to Stella as she went to retrieve the quilt. "Not even one?" Stella scowled after hearing that. Serving lady shook head. "Really?" Stella scowled, not believing it. Fearful, the servant bowed her head and said, "Mr. Conrad has ordered me to apologize; I hope you will forgive me, Mrs. Conrad." Stella seems to be aware of it. She laughs, "Ok, since it was like that, I will give up." The servants started to whisper as she turned to go. "What's happening? They became closer a f
With a grudge, Stella trailed Clarence into the conference room. Jude was also present. He smiled gently, warmly, at Stella when he finally met her gaze. Despite her unpleasant attitude, Stella felt considerably better when she saw his smile and returned the favor. Clarence recorded the brief exchange. As a result, his breath become chilly. After arriving, Jeff and Ava were picked up by Vice President Jude . As a result, when Stella spotted Jude , she noticed Jeff and Ava seated next to him. Jeff sat there as icily as he had yesterday, as though he could not see anyone. He looked down, studying the contents. He saw it until Stella stepped in, at which point he looked up at her and nodded. Stella gave him a nod, then turned to face Ava . Clarence was breathing a puff of rage at the moment. What a well-liked woman. People would greet her wherever she was. She ought to be pleased. Clarence sat down and tugged at the table with his fingers, saying, "Coffee." With a nod, Stella s
"Am I a devil?" Jude said, his eyes darkening as he watched her take a step back. "What?" Stella stared up at him, confused, not understanding what he meant. "If I am not a devil, then why are you so afraid of me?" Jude asked with a sardonic smirk. Stella : "I apologize, Jude. " Although she didn't fear him, Clarence would cause her problems if he discovered it. That individual... Despite his dislike for her, he was extremely possessive as she was legally his wife. "It is ok, I don't blame you." With a soft smile, Jude said in a whisper, "Let me go, you go upstairs first." At that she made a small facial adjustment and said, "No, let me do you, you can go back to work." He had helped her in the canteen the previous time, but Stella had not thanked him. She would now run away if she saw him. With regret, Stella said in a hushed voice, "By the way, thanks for helping me last time in the canteen." “Alright, did Clare come get you later?" Jude said.”Clarencecares about you.”
With a crimson face, she withdrew her hand and gave him a hateful look. "You don't have to stop the bleeding for me. Oh no!" "What?" snorted Clarence. “Would you prefer that someone else halt the bleeding?" Clarence , on the other hand, chastised her, saying, "What is wrong with your brain?” Stella didn't bother to argue with him. It will become worse if they kept talking. She was to kneel down to clean up the debris again. “Why do you pick them up by hand?" "...." "Do you agree with me to use a broom?" Stella abruptly raised her head. Even if she went to grab the broom, it would be useless since, when she first knelt down to pick up the rubbish with her hands, she believed that Clarence had deliberately tormented her and should have wanted her to do so. She was in shock that he had let her use the broom. "What did you say?" Clarence responded aggressively, narrowing his gaze. "Nothing." She abruptly sprang up and turned to retrieve the broom. She would never have bee
She snapped to reality, blew her nose, and took two backward steps. "Sorry, Jude, I didn't expect you to stop suddenly." Carefully turning to face her again, Jude remarked, "It doesn't matter, as long as it does not hurt." Naturally, it didn't hurt. Once they took a seat, Jude placed a large order for her favorite dishes. She sighed in appreciation of the man's consideration and care, but she also started to feel bad. She consistently believed that she shouldn't eat supper with him. Upon further reflection, though, she realized that they were merely eating and that she had no reason to feel bad about it. When the hot fish was presented, these thoughts vanished. She was a big fan of spicy seafood, but she never ate with anyone. She had not eaten it for years, but when she smelled it, it was familiar, even though she couldn't finish it herself. "I haven't had this in a long time, but are you able to handle spicy food?" she asked, grinning as she placed a piece of fish in the d
After over thirty minutes, Stella and Jude left the restaurant after finishing their meal, walking past Riley’s room on their way out. Riley saw this and snatched up her luggage to follow. Acting like a thief, she followed them, pulled out her phone, took another picture, and then hid once again. She followed them to the parking lot, where she shot numerous pictures. Stella abruptly stopped and turned to look behind her. Jude came to a halt. "What's wrong?" Stella said after glancing around the deserted parking lot, "Why do I feel like someone is following us?" After hearing it, Jude turned to face the empty space and mumbled, "There is no one." Was it incorrect? Stella thought she could be mistaken after hearing that. "Maybe I was wrong." "Leave now and head home. It's becoming later. Clare will not tolerate your tardiness." With his hand on the automobile, Jude opened the door. Riley pulled out her phone to record this scene while hiding in a corner and panting as
the upcoming half-year? He didn't know what she was talking about at first, but a second later it dawned on him that she was referring to the contract they had signed. Clarence then uttered the harsh words while furious, "You still remember that agreement?" She was standing with his back to her. She clearly shuddered when she heard that, and a second later, she nodded. How could she have forgotten that deal? They had drawn an impenetrable barrier with that pact, and as long as it remained in place, she would force herself to stop falling in love with him. "So you're mad at me about the agreement?" Clarence’s tone lightened as if he realized something. “No." Clarence’s heart stopped glowing when Stella said those words. His once-bright eyes now grew dull, the surroundings growing black, and hundreds of stars all of a sudden hidden in clouds. She could feel the chill in the air around her and felt the man's breath grow icy behind her. She immediately lay down, having already
