On the other end of the phone, Amanda said, âI donât know. This is the bossâs business. I canât just simply ask him about it. But I heard before that this child was born prematurely because of the bossâs family. His familyâs situation is quite complicated. I guess he wants to finish all those messy things at home.â
âSo whatâs going on in his family wonât get you involved, right?â
âNo. Donât worry about it.â
Logan withdrew his eyes, âThen Iâll come and pick you up now.â
Amanda said, âAlright.â
After hanging up the phone, Logan tossed his phone aside and loosened his tie, looking a bit contemptuous.
...
In the studio...
After Armand and Logan left, Sherry walked in, âStella, what are they seeking you for?â
Stella pursed her lips, looking aimlessly ahead, âSomething about the Steward Group.â
âThe Steward Group? What happened to it?â
âSince Lyndon ran away, no one manages the Steward Group and itâs in a mess.â
âThat has nothing to do with you either. What are they doing here looking for you?â
Stella whispered, âThey want me to step in and take over the Steward Group, just to get investments and bank loans for the Steward Group.â
Sherry thought it was a scam, âDonât say yes. Whoever who takes over the Steward Group in such a state will get into big trouble. They can just do whatever they like, and it has nothing to do with you anyway.â
Stella hummed, âI also think so, but...â
âBut what?â
âBesides the thousands of the Steward Groupâs employees, many others were affected by this incident too. They are all innocent.â
Sherry frowned hearing this, âThatâs true. That Lyndon is such a shit, not just harming everyone and also leaving such a big mess behind. But...
Stella, this really doesnât have much to do with you. You donât need to take any responsibility, and you donât need to care at all.â
Stella lowered her head, âI know.â
Sherry sighed, looking at her.
Knowing was on the one hand and what to do on the other.
After a while, Stella suddenly said, âSherry, are you still in contact with Daniel recently?â
Sherryâs face turned slightly red, âNo... Why should I have contact with him?â
They hadnât seen each other since the last funeral of Stellaâs mother.
That was good to avoid any troubles.
Stella said, âI want to talk to him.â
Sherry tilted her head slightly, seemingly puzzled, âHe has a solution to this matter?â
âNope.â
Stella didnât know what to say, and only after a pause did she say, âJust that... he would know more about the Steward Groupâs situation than I do.â
Sherry nodded, âThatâs true. He had taken great pains to get close to Phoebe in the first place.â
At that, Stella smiled, âAre you jealous?â
âNonsense... Why should I jealous of him. I just think heâs quite capable, even Phoebe is fooled by him.â
Stella said, âFine. Then Iâll go find him later. Do you want to join me?â
Sherry said, âNo way Iâm going. I have a blind date tonight.â
Stella remembered this, and she was stunned, âItâs today?â
âYeah, itâs just a dinner anyway. After that Iâll just find a reason to refuse, and we go our own way.â
Stella nodded thoughtfully, âSo when are you going?â
Sherry looked at the time, âThe date is six oâclock, and Iâll leave at about five thirty. Itâs close anyway, and itâll take me ten minutes to drive there.â
Stella said, âThatâs good. Let me give you a lift.â
âNo need, Iâm driving myself.â
Stella babbled seriously, âYou didnât get it, right? If you think your date is okay, you can hint at him to take you home after dinner and promote your relationship too. If not okay, you can just take a taxi and leave. So if you drive, you wonât have any chance.â
Sherryâs eyes lit up, surprisingly felt that Stella had a point too, âYouâre right. If heâs a big handsome guy, Iâm willing with it.â
âThen itâs a deal. Iâll send you over later.â
âOkay. Iâll go change and put on my makeup then. Iâm in a hurry to get out this morning and I havenât prepared anything.â
âGo on.â
Stella let out a sigh of relief after Sherry left the office. She then called Daniel.
Stella said, âDo you have time to come out for a chat?â
Daniel agreed readily, âSure, where is it?â
âIâm still at the studio. Iâll send you the address later.â
âOk.â
Stella curled her lips after hanging up the phone. After thinking a while, she sent a message to Clarence, asking when he would be home tonight.
Clarence hadnât replied yet after ten minutes. It seemed that he would have to work until midnight again.
Stella put down her phone, opened the webpage and searched for the Steward Group.
Every single message that popped up was not good.
Many workers were sitting on the ground in some of the suspended projects, with their eyes blank and unsure what to do.
When reporters interviewed them, they said they hadnât received a single penny and didnât dare to go home. So they just waited there, not knowing exactly waiting for what.
In another project, the partnerâs boss even tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building because he couldnât bear the pressure. He was found and saved, but he also broke his leg.
The list went on and on.
These were just the tip of the iceberg.
Stella closed the browser and leaned back in her chair, letting out a long breath.
He should have seen the news too. What on earth was he thinking?
Stella looked at the babyâs breath outside the window and was slightly lost in thought.
After some time, Sherry came knocking on the door, âStella, itâs five oâclock. Letâs leave.â
Stella retrieved her thoughts and got up, âLetâs go.â
As it was a weekend, there was no traffic at this time, and they just arrived in ten minutes.
After the car pulled up in front of the restaurant, Sherry unfastened her seatbelt, âStella, Iâll go in then. Take care on your way.â
Stella smiled at her, âAlright.â
After Sherry entered the restaurant, Stella drove forward to find a spot where she could park. After she stopped, she sent the address to Daniel.
Daniel was coming from home, which wasnât far from here, and would be there in twenty minutes.
Stella stood next to the restaurant and waited for him.
After parking the car, Daniel walked over to her, âSorry to have kept you waiting, Ms. Radomil.â
Stella said, âItâs fine as Iâm the one who finds you first.â
âLetâs go in.â
When she entered the restaurant, Stella saw Sherry sitting by the window and a man sitting opposite her. Stella couldnât see his face as his back was to her.
Stella chose a seat that was just visible from their side, âLetâs sit here.â

When he sat down, he looked up and found that Sherry was just not far away.
