Stella wished so much that she could find a hole on the ground to hide herself when she heard the words. She felt so embarrassed for him.
Could this wretched man not be so shameless?
William still maintained a smile on his face. He was in his forties and had been engaged in the business world for a long time. It was not his first time to see such a shameless person.
William looked at Stella with a touch of gloominess flashing across his eyes. He then complimented her, âMrs. Conrad, youâre beautiful.â
Clarence said, âBeauty always matches with temper.â
Stella, â...â
Was he suggesting that she had a bad temper?
Stella sneered in her heart and then took the initiative to talk with William, âMr. William, according to your accent, I guess that youâre a citizen of City N. Am I right?â
William paused when he heard the words. He then nodded his head, âYep. But Iâve been living abroad for a long time.â
âOh, then why do you come back to City N this time? Are you visiting your relatives, or travelling?â
William didnât reply her question. He said, âI have no special schedule. And Iâm here mainly for the cooperation.â
Stella also noticed that William evaded the question just now. She knew that she wasnât supposed to mention that topic in front of William.
She pondered for a while, and still chose to touch his bottom line, âMr. William, youâve been abroad for a long time, do you have any relative in City N?
William picked up his cup and curled his lips into a light smile, âNo.â
âThen...â
When Stella was about to ask some other questions, Clarence put a piece of cake into her mouth.
Clarence said, âDonât talk when youâre eating. Be careful that you may bite your tongue.â
When Stella swallowed the cake with difficulty, Clarence and William had started to talk about others and she couldnât find a chance to get a word in.
So Stella could only remain silent again.
During the meal, Stella went to the restroom.
But she hadnât expected that she would bump into an acquaintance here.
Daniel was also surprised when he saw Stella.
He asked, âMs. Radomil, Iâm surprised to meet you here.â
Stella replied, âIâm here to have dinner. What about you?â
Daniel shook his head and said slowly, âI was invited to have a performance here.â
âOh,â Stella said, âThen I will not bother you. Letâs talk later.â
Daniel slightly nodded his head.
After Stellaâs leaving, he squinted at her back, seeming to be thinking of something.
Stella didnât want to come back to the private room so quickly. She walked to a gazebo of the hotel to enjoy the cold breezes.
When she calmed down, she realized that she had gone too far just now.
Although she wanted to mess up the cooperation, no matter what, it was inappropriate to touch Williamâs painful past.
What was her difference with Clarence then?
Stella took a deep breath. When she felt it chilling, she headed towards the private room.
There was only William in the room.
William broke the silence, âMrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad is looking for you.â
Stella replied, âIâm sorry. I went to the gazebo just now.â
William chuckled, âIt must be boring to hear we two talking about the business.â
âNope. Itâs just that I...â Stella pressed her lips together, âMr. William, Iâm sorry for my rudeness just now.â
William added some tea into his cup, âOh, Mrs. Conrad, what are you mentioning?â
âI shouldnât have asked you about your private affairs. Iâm so sorry.â
âIt doesnât matter.â William continued, âI noticed that there seems to be some conflicts between you and Mr. Conrad. So you deliberately asked those questions just now, right.â
Stella gently nodded her head as a tacit approval.
William continued, âI didnât want to answer your questions just now because I donât want to recall the past. But Mrs. Conrad, this has nothing to do with you. And you donât need to blame yourself.â
Stella said after a short while of silence, âMr. William, I have a request.â
âMrs. Conrad, please say it.â
Stella said in a low voice, âEr... Can you not call me Mrs. Conrad? My name is Stella Radomil and I divorced Clarence half a year ago.â
William was stunned when he heard the words, âIâm sorry. I didnât know this before.â
âIt doesnât matter. Iâm not blaming me for this. Itâs just that the address âMrs. Conradâ is really too...â
âI understand it, Ms. Radomil.â
Stella curled her lips into a smile, âThank you.â
William was in a trance when he saw her smile. He lowered his head to take a sip of the tea and said, âMs. Radomil, you said your name is Stella just now, right?â
Stella nodded her head.
William continued with a smile, âStella, what a good name.â
He paused and then asked, âMs. Radomil, are you the only child in your family?â
âI have a younger brother.â
William slowly nodded his head, âYour parents must be happy with a son and a daughter.â
Stella only smiled lightly when she heard the words. She didnât say anything about it.
William asked when noticing this, âMs. Radomil, did I mention something that Iâm not supposed to mention?â
Stella shook her head with a smile, âNope. Itâs just that my parents had all died and few would mention hem.â
âItâs me who feels sorry this time.â
Stella asked tentatively, âDo we get even?â
Probably William hadnât expected that she would say this and he was stunned. After a short while, he pulled himself together and the smile on his face became brighter, âYep, weâre even.â
Clarence came back after a short while.
Clarence sat beside Stella and looked askance at her while licking his thin lips.
It seemed like he was very dissatisfied as she disappeared for a long time just now.
Stella ignored him and lowered her head to enjoy the food in her bowl.
When the meal was finished, they walked out of the private room.
But Stella hadnât expected that she would bump into Phoebe here.
And the one standing beside Phoebe was Daniel.
Noticing Phoebeâs gaze, Stella subconsciously kept a distance away from Clarence.
She felt guilty out of no reason.
The smile appeared on Phoebeâs face soon. She said with a smile, âClare, Ms. Radomil. What a coincidence.â
Clarence replied with a nasal sound. He didnât have any other reaction.
They all felt it awkward.
Daniel suddenly asked, âMs. Steward, Ms. Radomil, do you two know each other?â
Stella was a bit surprised when she heard the question, âSo you two also know each other?â

âWhat a coincidence,â said Phoebe. She then looked at Stella with a smile, âNo wonder that Ms. Radomil didnât come to my birthday party today.
Turns out that you had an appointment with Clare. If I had known this, I would not send the invitation letter to you. Iâm sorry that I almost bothered you.â
Stella had never been so vexed. She wanted to explain it, but she couldnât. So she could only suppress her anger.
Clarence looked at Phoebe coldly, âIâve told you to stay away from her.â
Phoebe chuckled, âI just want to befriend Ms. Radomil. Do I have to get your permit first? Clare, please remember it, itâs true that we had an engagement before, but you regretted it later. Are you qualified to intervene in my private affair?â
