After arriving at the entrance of Conrad Tower, instead of going upstairs right away, Stella went to a dessert shop to buy some pastries for takeout.
Then she went to the CEOâs office.
When she arrived, Clarence was in a meeting.
Nathan said, âMs. Radomil, the meeting will last another half an hour. Please have a seat and wait for a moment.â
Stella smiled at him, âOkay. Thanks.â
She took a dessert out of the bag and handed it to him, âI bought a lot of them. This is for you, Nathan.â
Nathan probably didnât expect that Stella would also buy him a pastry while visiting Mr. Conrad here. He said in surprise, âThank you so much, Ms.
Radomil.â
As he spoke, he reached out to take it over.
Right then, another assistant knocked on the door. Nathan was informed to deal with the documents delivered to this floor.
He coughed and hurriedly said, âMs. Radomil, I must go back to work now. If you need any help, please do let me know.â
Stella nodded, âSure.â
After Nathan was gone, Stella sat on the sofa for a while, browsing news on her cell phone. Shortly after, she felt quite sleepy.
Last night, she didnât sleep at all. Now the sleepiness was attacking her, and she found it so difficult to open her eyes. Soon, she fell asleep.
When Clarence entered the office after coming out of the conference room, he saw the woman napping on the sofa.
He instantly paused his pace.
The two senior executives behind him also stopped walking. However, their sight was blocked by Clarence, so they didnât know what was going on in the office.
Clarence looked back at them and said flatly, âGo back to your work first. Come back in an hour.â
The two senior executives understood and left right away.
Clarence closed the door, strode into the office.
He sat down next to Stella. He wanted to wake her up, but when he saw the dark circles under her eyes, he realized that she must have not slept very well.
Loosening his necktie with one hand, Clarence took off his suit jacket and covered her with it. Then he picked up the documents on the tea table, starting to read.
Stella had napped for four hours. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
She stretched, yawning. Her hands touched something.
Then she heard the manâs indifferent voice, âWhat did you do last night?â
Stella raised her head, only to find Clarence was reading documents while sitting next to her.
She sat up slowly, feeling quite dizzy. However, she didnât forget to flatter him, âI missed you too much so I couldnât sleep at all.â
Clarence looked at her, raising his eyebrows, âFor real?â
âOf course not.â
Clarence was speechless.
After napping for so long, Stella felt hungry. She reached out to get a cupcake and ate it.
Watching her for a while, Clarence suddenly asked, âDid you buy the pastries for yourself?â
Stella swallowed the food before answering, âYou canât finish them all, can you? Iâm sharing your burden.â
As she spoke, she reached out her hand again.
Clarence grabbed her wrist, âPut it down. I can finish them all.â
Stella choked up.
Inwardly, she cursed him for being so petty.
She nestled back on the sofa, looking ahead aimlessly in a daze. It seemed that she hadnât sobered up completely.
Clarence asked, âArenât you busy in the studio today?â
âYes, I was quite busy.â
âWhy didnât you come over?â
Stella looked at him, blinking, âI missed you.â
Clarence laughed out. He put his arm behind her on the sofa, licking his lips, âWhat trouble have you made?â
Stella curled her lips, âIâm not a kid anymore. What trouble can I make?â
She moved a bit. When Clarence didnât pay attention, she picked up a cupcake again. This time, she didnât eat it herself. Instead, she put it next to his mouth, âThis is quite yummy. Have a try.â
Clarence bent down his head and took a bite expressionlessly.
Stella looked at him expectantly, âHow do you like...â
Before she finished asking, her lips were sealed by him.
Clarenceâs tip of the tongue reached into her lips. Wrapping his hand around her waist, he lifted her and put her to sit on his lap. With one hand pressing the back of her head, he deepened this kiss.
Stella could hardly breathe while being kissed by him. She slightly pressed his chest as an objection.
A moment later, Clarence released her. He whispered in a low and hoarse tone in her ear, âWhat do you think?â
Stellaâs mind was still blank, âWhat?â
âDidnât you ask me if I like it?â
Stella repeated his words inwardly and finally understood what he meant. She couldnât help blushing.
She clicked her tongue secretly. âHeâs so disgusting!â she thought to herself.
Clarence asked slowly, âWhat on earth do you want to tell me?â
âI...â
âEhn?â
Stella licked her lips.
They had kissed, he had eaten the cupcake, and she had flattered him. Hence, the foreshadowing went on very well.
She said in a low voice, âWell... I want to discuss with you again about moving out from the Stewardsâ Mansion.â
Clarence said, âThatâs not negotiable.â
âI havenât told you anything yet.â
âHavenât you told me clearly?â
Stella still didnât give up, âWell... Iâve considered carefully. I indeed want to move out and live with you, but itâs not a proper time right now.â
Clarence snorted, âAre you making up to me after disappointing me?â
Stella ignored his question. She continued, âI know if I continued staying in the Stewardsâ Mansion, there would be no benefit for me at all. But Iâm not a woman who gives up halfway. I must carry what Iâm doing to the end, right?â
âSince you do want to carry everything to the end, why did you divorce me back then?â
Stella choked up.
She was shocked that Clarence could connect those matters together. They were indeed different, werenât they?
Clarence released her. He stood up and walked to the desk, âWait for a moment. I still have something to deal with.â
âOh, I see. In that case, I should go now...â
âI dared you to go.â
Stella looked at the leftover desserts on the tea table. She regretted buying them now.
She moved to Clarence slowly. Lying prone on the desk, she watched him deal with the documents without a blink.
After a few seconds, she suddenly uttered his name, âMr. Conrad.â
âYes?â
âYou are kind of handsome.â

Stella took a deep breath. She wasnât in the mood to talk any longer.
When she heard the sound that Clarence put down the pen, she looked over at him, âDone?â
Clarence hummed to answer. Then he said, âLetâs go home.â
âIn fact... Thereâs another thing I want to tell you.â
Clarence leaned against his chair, looking at her expressionlessly as if he was waiting for her to make other ridiculous excuses.
However, Stella looked quite solemn, âI know where Charles Steward has been hiding Jeffrey Radomil. When Iâve found Jeffrey Radomil, Iâll move out.â
âIf youâve found him, whatâs next?â
âI...â Stella thought for a moment and continued, âI believe once Jeffrey Radomil has lost his value, Charles Steward will definitely kill him, but I still want to ask Jeffrey Radomil some questions.â
Clarence asked, âWhat questions?â
Stella said lightly, âI wanted to know where my motherâs graveyard is and if Chan is his biological son.â
The manâs slender fingers knocked on the desk. He asked slowly, âDo you think he would answer you honestly?â
