On the second day, the black Rolls-Royce was pulled over at the roadside.
Nathan pressed down the car window and peered out. Then he withdrew his gaze. He said gingerly as if he was going to be killed the next second, âMr. Conrad, the studio seems to be closed. I guess Mrs. Conrad has taken the weekend off.â
Clarence pressed his thin lips and looked up at Nathan, âDo you think she has done it purposely?â
Yesterday he told her that he would come to fine her today, but she deliberately closed the store today.
Nathan could only smile bitterly inwardly. It was just the loversâ temperament and interest between the Conrad couple. How could he know?
Clarence inhaled, âCall her and ask her where she is now.â
Upon hearing it, Nathan immediately pulled out his cell phone. A few seconds later, he whispered, âMr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad has also blocked my number.â
Clarence was speechless.
Right then, Nathan saw a written notice pasted at the door of the studio. He pulled the door open and approached closer to read.
There was a contact number on the notice. It said that the client could call this number if there was something urgent.
Nathan immediately dialed the number. After a few beeps, the phone was answered.
Sherry said, âHello, who is that please?â
Nathan said, âMiss, I want to buy a designed necklace, but after Iâve arrived at your gate, it turns out that your studio is closed. May I know when youâll be back?â
âOh... Iâm sorry. My friend and I came to our classmate reunion today. If you are not in a hurry, you can come to our store tomorrow and have a detailed discussion.â
âI see.â Nathan turned around and looked at the man sitting in the black Rolls-Royce, âOur boss needs it as soon as possible. Would you mind giving us your location, please? We can go to discuss with you right now.â
Sherry hesitated.
Nathan immediately added, âOur boss will be on a business trip tonight and wonât come back until half a month later. He wants to design a gift for his girlfriend, so heâd like to meet the designer in advance.â
Sherry thought for a moment and agreed, âOkay, Iâll send you a location later. We can meet here. Thanks for your understanding.â
Since the client came to them and insisted, she couldnât send them away.
Besides, they would only discuss the design. It shouldnât take them much time.
âNot at all. Iâm sorry for troubling you.â
After hanging up the phone, Nathan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least, they could meet Stella later.
Although he played a trick, at least he could save his job in danger.
...
In a private box.
After returning from answering the call, Sherry whispered something in Stellaâs ear.
Stella nodded, âSure. Itâs fine.â
A woman who was sitting next to them suddenly said, âAlas, Sherry. How come your studio is so busy? Weâre in the reunion with our classmates, but you are still busy working.â
This woman was named Madison Taylor. She was from a middle-class family. It was said that she married an executive manager of a big company.
Right now, she was a housewife at home and enjoyed her life very much. She didnât get along with Sherry or Stella in college. She always spoke sarcastically and put a wedge between others.
Sherry originally invited some college classmates with whom she got along very well, but she didnât expect that one or two disgusting people also came here.
Sherry smiled perfunctorily, âPlease excuse me. I donât think you would understand about being busy like us.â
Madison retorted disdainfully, âIn my family, itâs enough for my husband to be busy alone. I just need to stay home doing skincare and taking care of myself. In my spare time, Iâll have high tea with my besties or spend a holiday in a seaside city. Isnât there an old saying like a woman is better married than born? But I donât think could understand it now. I heard that Liam cheated on you a few months ago. What a pity! I thought I would attend your wedding.â
As soon as Sherry heard that disgusting name, her temples popped. Thinking of her purpose of organizing the classmate reunion today, she tried her best to suppress her anger instead of blow up on Madison.
Right then, other people at the table noticed the embarrassment. They meddled, âBy the way, Liam Keith is just a scumbag. Iâve thought that heâs a nice man before. How come heâs such a jerk!â
âExactly. I heard that it was a big scene that his mistress was caught in adultery that day. How I wish I could be there at the scene! Then I could witness how miserable the son of the bitch and the bitch were.â
âRight. I heard that Liam realized that he was framed by someone but he couldnât find who that person was. Sherry, was that you?â
Sherry answered calmly, âHow could I be that capable? This exactly explains that if you do much injustice, you will die eventually. Maybe itâs the justice comes from heaven.â
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Stella to see how her expression was.
However, Stella kept a slight smile at her mouth corners. She didnât react at all.
After bitching about Liam for a while, someone suddenly changed the subject to Stella, âBy the way, Stella, what have you been doing in the past three years? Someone said you got married. Some said you went abroad. Some also said...â
When the person who was speaking hadnât finished the words, the other person poked her with the elbow. Suddenly, she realized something and shushed.
Stella looked up slightly and said with a smile, âIâve divorced.â
Upon hearing it, all people at the table quieted down, âWe all thought that you would marry Horace. Unexpectedly...â
Sherry chimed in, âOh, by the way, where is Emmett? Why hasnât he arrived yet? Heâs half an hour late already.â
Someone answered, âIt seems he encountered a traffic jam. I just asked him. Heâs arriving soon.â
Emmett Carter used to be their classmate. He was an excellent student, wearing a pair of big black-framed glasses. However, he always kept a low key. Both his parents were scientific researchers. He was polite and well-educated. Usually, he was quiet and not talkative.
Sherry had asked around - he hadnât got married and was still single and available.
In her opinion, with Emmettâs background and character, he should be the best candidate for the other half.

Some of them became fat. Some of them were bluffing about their tiny projects, quite unreliable.
Now, she had to put all her hopes on Emmett.
Shortly after, the door of the box was pushed open, âIâm sorry. Iâm late.â
All of them looked over in the direction of the voice. A woman said, âExcuse me. Are you entering the wrong box...â
The man smiled, âIâm Emmett.â
Upon hearing it, not only the woman who asked him but also others all gaped. A man stood up and said in disbelief, âAre you Emmett? Gosh! Youâve changed tremendously.â
The quiet boy with the black-framed glasses had become a handsome businessman. All of them were agape.
Sherry couldnât help but praise herself inwardly. Sure enough, she had made a wise decision.
Immediately, she stood up and pull the chair next to Stella, âCome on, Emmett. Weâre waiting for you. Have a seat, please.â
