When Stella just went back to the studio, she received the confirmation email from the sponsor, informing her that they had received her work. The next would be the filtering and selection process. She should wait patiently.
It turned out her guess was correct.
Stella put down the cell phone, exhaling deeply.
Finally, she could be relaxed for a few days.
Shortly after, she heard the knocks on the door of her office. Sherry poked in her head, âStella, are you busy?â
âNot really. Whatâs up?â
Sherry closed the door and entered, âWe havenât been out for the team-building for a long time. I was discussing it with them just now. How about going barbecue this weekend?â
Stella nodded in agreement, âSure!â
âOkay. Iâll plan it now.â As she spoke, Sherry approached her and whispered, âWe can take along boyfriends with us this time. I must remind you about it. Otherwise, you would be fed up PDA.â
Stella was surprised.
She tugged the hemline of Sherryâs blouse, âAre you also taking a man with you?â
Sherry giggled, raising her eyebrows, âOf course. I recently met a handsome young man online. His voice is so charming. He also sent me photos of his abs. Iâll take this chance to ask him to meet me in person.â
âBe careful, Sherry. You canât be deceived.â
âNo worries. I wonât be that silly. Probably Iâll deceive him. Besides, weâll soon meet. I can get to know him more in reality.â Sherry looked so expectant, âIf this one worked, I finally could have a boyfriend.â
Stellaâs mouth corners twitched, âI donât think itâs reliable. Youâd better watch out.â
Sherry patted her on the shoulder, âI know what Iâm doing. What about you? Will you ask your Mr. Conrad to go with you?â
Upon hearing the words âyour Mr. Conradâ, Stella blushed, âItâs just the team-building of our studio. Why should I take him with me? If he went with us, no one would enjoy it.â
Sherry was speechless.
She couldnât agree with Stella more.
She said in disappointment, âOkay. In that case, you can only watch us PDA then.â
Weekend.
All people were gathering at the door of the studio. They would set off from there afterward.
Almost all the girls brought their boyfriends. It was pretty quick for the young men to get to know each other. Soon, they found a lot of things in common.
Stella checked the time and asked, âWhere is your handsome friend online? Why hasnât he come yet?â
Sherry looked around, âHe said he has arrived at the intersection five minutes ago. He should be here soon.â
Right then, a Maybach was parked in front of them.
One young man said, âHoly shit! Would it be him? Is he so rich?â
Sherry also gaped, subconsciously gripped Stellaâs arm. She wondered what kind of handsome guy would this be.
As the door of the car was opened slowly, a slender and straightened figure appeared in their sight.
Everyone fell into the silence.
Their expectation was in vain.
Clarence cast an indifferent glance at them, âAm I not expected?â
Instantly, the group of people felt his cold aura. Some of them went to buy bottled water, and some of them went to use the restroom. They left the scene with different excuses.
Sherry was the one who felt the most disappointed. She asked, âMr. Conrad, why did you change your car?â
âIâve sent the other one for maintenance.â Clarence looked over at Stella, âWhere are you going?â
Last night, Clarence asked her what she would be doing this weekend. Obviously, he wanted to date her. However, since it would be the team building today, she made an excuse that she would be busy working in the studio.
Much to her surprise, the wretched man came to find her directly.
Stella let out a hollow laugh. When she was about to run away, she turned around and saw an elementary student, who had a school bag on his shoulders and looked quite adorable.
His gaze swept between Sherry and Stella. Then he asked in a calm tone, âExcuse me. Who is Magical Pretty?â
Stella, Clarence, and Sherry gaped at him.
Sherry had never thought that when someone said about her WeChat ID, she would feel so embarrassed.
In difficulty, she walked up and squatted down. Trying her best to force a smile, she asked, âHi, Little fellow. What can I do for you?â
The boy offered her a hand and said in a polite manner, âIâm Little Rabbit. Itâs so great to meet you in person.â
Sherry was confused.
She looked around, âLittle fellow, where are your parents? Did you come here with your older brother or your uncle?â
âI came here myself. Didnât you ask me out for a barbecue?â As he spoke, he exhaled, âIâve tried to convince my mother for a long time before she finally agreed to let me join you. But you must send me home after the barbecue. My mother is afraid that you are a bad person.â
The smile on Sherryâs face was breaking down gradually, âIs she... afraid that Iâm a bad person?â
Little Rabbit slowly nodded, âYes.â
âIf I were a bad woman, how would I send you home?â
âYou donât need to worry about it. I have my own plans.â
Sherry thought that if it werenât that she had experienced a lot of scumbags and become extremely strong, at this moment at the scene, she should have been sent to the ICU for a rescue.
Beside them, Stella gripped Clarenceâs arm. Her face turned so red because she tried so hard to hold back her laughter.
Clarence looked at the boy opposite Sherry indifferently, lost in thought.
Sherry inhaled deeply and stood up, âLetâs go. Iâll send you home now.â
âNo way!â âLittle Rabbitâ took a few steps back. He insisted, âI havenât eaten the barbecue yet. You promised to invite me for it!â
Right then, those people who left the scene came back. Seeing that Sherry was talking to a boy, they walked over, âSherry, is he your younger brother? Heâs so cute.â
As they spoke, they pinched his chubby face.
âLittle Rabbitâ wasnât happy. He frowned and hid behind Sherry.
One of the young men didnât know what happened. He asked, âWill your boyfriend still join us?â
Sherry just wanted to bypass this matter. Hurriedly, she said, âNo. He wonât join us. His car broke down on the way. Letâs go. Go! Go! Go! Letâs set off!â
âLetâs go!â
They originally planned to have Sherry and Stella drive and they could fit in two cars. Right now, Clarence and the boy would also join them.
Sherry was quite decisive. She pressed âLittle Rabbitâ into Clarenceâs car. Before Clarence said no, she immediately said, âMr. Conrad, please help me take care of him. In the future, if you need any help from me, just feel free to let me know.â
As she finished her words, she closed the door immediately.
Watching the scene, Stella whispered, âArenât you afraid that he wouldnât be able to get off after sitting in Clarenceâs car?â
âYou don't understand. It's called raising poisonous insects. The strongest would survive.â
Stella choked up.
Since they were in a hurry to leave, Stella had no time to talk to Clarence. However, although the wretched man had a sharp tongue, Stella didnât think that he would trouble an elementary student.
The venue wasnât far away. They would arrive in an hour.
Nothing serious would happen.

In the Maybach, Clarence cast a glance at the boy on the backseat, âFasten the seat belt.â
âLittle Rabbitâ put down the bag, âOkay.â
