Clarence looked colder. He looked up at Emmett, âFuck off.â
Emmett turned around and cast a glance. Then he withdrew his gaze, âMr. Conrad, I heard you call Stella just now. Do you know each other?â
âNone of your business.â
âBut I can tell that Stella didnât want to meet you, Mr. Conrad. In that case, why do you have to force her?â
Clarence sneered, âDid she tell you in person that she didnât want to meet me?â
Emmett was speechless.
She didnât.
But her behaviors told him obviously.
However, Emmett didnât want to make the way.
When they were stalemated, Clarence saw a figure out of the corner of his eyes. He indifferently called, âSherry Perry.â
That figure stiffed and then sped up to escape.
Clarence called in a colder tone, âSofia Cooper.â
Sherry choked up.
She had a hunch that this name would be with her forever.
She dared not to escape anymore, afraid that Clarence the wretched man would get even with her later. With a wry smile, she moved over reluctantly, âHahaha... Mr. Conrad, how are you doing? I wondered who was calling me just now. It turns out to be you, the most handsome Mr. Conrad. You are so stunning that I couldnât recognize you just now.â
Nathan thought to himself, âWhat an ass kisser! Sheâs better than me in doing so.â
Emmett calmed down and asked, âSherry, do you know Mr. Conrad?â
Sherry was about to answer, but suddenly she recalled that she aimed to matchmake Stella and Emmett. How could she tell Emmett that Clarence was Stellaâs ex-husband? She lost her tongue and couldnât utter a beep.
Right then, Nathan took the chance and walked to her, âExcuse me, Ms. Perry. I contacted you earlier.â
Sherry was taken aback, âEarlier?â
Nathan answered, âYeah. Half an hour ago.â
Sherry choked up.
She was wondering how come the wretched man could have appeared here. It turned out that she was trapped.
Sherry digested the information and her brain worked fast. Then she said to Emmett, âMr. Conrad is the client of our studio. He came to ask Stella to design a necklace. Emmett, you can go back to the box. Iâll talk to Mr. Conrad about the design and go back later.â
Upon hearing it, Emmett was relieved. He nodded in agreement and turned away.
After he was gone, Clarence said impatiently, âCall her to come back.â
In front of the aggressive stress from capitalism, Sherry could only compromise. In Clarenceâs presence, she dialed Stellaâs number. She whispered, âStella, the client who called me earlier has arrived...â
The next second, she let out a hollow laugh, âWhat a coincidence! The client turns out to be Mr. Conrad... What? Youâve already gone home because of your tummy. Okay. What a pity. I guess Mr. Conrad is kind enough to understand it...â
Before Sherry finished her words, her cell phone was snatched.
Clarence said in a cold tone, âCome to me in five minutes. Or your friend canât go back.â
Stella was speechless.
The wretched man was always good at threatening her.
After hanging up the phone, Stella had to come out from the corner of the corridor.
When she answered Sherryâs call, she didnât talk at all. Sherry was speaking all by herself.
It was quite obvious - Clarence came over from their studio. Sherry was reminding her to escape.
Thinking of that, Stella couldnât help frowning, wondering if the wretched man was still on his right mind recently.
In the end, Stella stood in front of Clarence at the very last second of the five minutes he offered.
Suppressing her anger, she asked calmly, âMr. Conrad, why are you doing this?â
Clarence was unhappy, âIs this your attitude to your client?â
Stella didnât answer.
Sherry suggested, âMr. Conrad, look. Itâs not quite convenient for us to talk here. Why donât we find a place to sit down and discuss?â
She was worried that if Madison saw this scene, the woman might raise some rumors again.
The most important was that Sherryâs main purpose was to matchmake Stella and Emmett. She couldnât make her effort in vain because of Clarence.
Clarence glanced at Nathan, and the latter immediately went to find a place.
Two minutes later, the manager of the hotel came out and led them to the VIP lounge.
On the way, Sherry whispered, âStella, weâll offend the God of Wealth if we sent away the client coming to use. Anyway, the wretched man doesnât lack money. You can ask him as much as possible.â
Stella gradually calmed down. Judging from Clarenceâs expression, he didnât plan to let go of her easily. She might not be able to send him away pretty soon.
In the lounge, Stella tabbed to open the notepad on her cell phone for the record, âMr. Conrad, what do you want us to design for you? A necklace? A bracelet? Earrings? Or others...â
Clarence answered indifferently, âWhatever.â
Stella held back her anger and wrote down the word on the notepad.
She continued, âWhat kind of style do you like, Mr. Conrad?â
âWhatever.â
âOkay, Mr. Conrad...â
âWhatever.â
Stella put down her cell phone and looked quite aloof, âMr. Conrad, if you are making fun of me purposely, you use another way. You donât need to waste your time here. So boring.â
Clarence pressed his thin lips, âSorry for that. You can ask me again.â
Stella choked up.
Inwardly, she cursed the wretched man.
Stella said, âMr. Conrad, I wonder what else you want to get from me until now. Or, arenât you happy because Iâve only lost a child? You want me to lose my job so that you could let go of me completely?â
Clarence remained expressionless. He ignored what she said directly, âI donât have any requirements on the design. As long as you like it.â
Stella was speechless.
He must be nuts.
Clarence stood up to leave. Before that, he said, âStella, what I want from you isnât what youâve thought of. When you are willing to give it to me, youâll know what I want.â
After he opened the door, Sherry and Nathan, who were all ears to eavesdrop, immediately took a few steps back.
Sherry coughed, âMr. Conrad, we have a lot of orders and your order will be waiting in line for several months. Hence, you might need to wait for a while...â
Clarence hummed. Without saying anything else, he turned away.
Nathan immediately followed him.
After they were gone far, Sherry entered the lounge. Seeing that Stella was in a daze sitting on the sofa, she waved her hand in front of her, âStella, is everything all right?â
Stella came back to her senses. Shaking her head slightly, she answered, âEverythingâs fine. Letâs go.â
Sherry only overheard their conversation roughly outside, so she couldnât comment on anything. Immediately, she changed the subject, âHow did you like chatting with Emmett earlier?â
Stella confused, âWhy?â

Stella was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she said, âThereâs something wrong with you, Sherry.â
