When Stella arrived at the Conrad Group, Clarence was at a meeting and Nathan was also not present.
She then chose to wait in his office.
She waited until seven oâclock. During this period, Sherry and Winnie sent messages to her, saying that theyâd arrived. Channing was stuck in traffic, but he would also arrive soon.
When Stella prepared to go out and ask when the meeting would come to an end, the door of the office was pushed open.
Clarence walked towards her in strides, âDo you wait for long?â
Stella put her phone back into her pocket and smiled, âNot that long. Do you have to deal with any other matter?â
âNope.â
âThen I will take you to a place.â
Clarence slightly raised his brows, âSo you come here for a date with me.â
Stella held up his hand and took a step forward, âYou can think so. Hurry up. Donât be dilatory.â
When the doors of the lift were opened and Stella was about to enter the lift, a man walked out of the lift and reported, âMr. Conrad, Iâve taken back the person. And...â
Maxwell paused when he saw Stella, retreated to a side and nodded his head at Stella.
Clarence replied with a nasal sound. He didnât say anything.
After entering the lift, Stella recalled the scene and asked in a low voice, âWhatâs the matter?â
Clarence grabbed her hand and replied in a composed voice, âNothing. A document of my company was lost and he just took back the employee responsible for it.â
âIsnât it a serious problem? Then I think we shouldnât go out now.â
âItâs not that serious. They will deal with it according to the situation.â
âWell.â
When they went downstairs, it was still raining. Stella told the driver about the address and then took out her phone to select a gift for Clarence. But after browsing for a long while, she found the gifts were all not innovative. Moreover, Clarence was a picky person, so she didnât know what gift he would be satisfied with.
When Stella was focusing on it, Clarence gently tabbed her head, âWhat are you looking at? Youâve paid attention to it for a long time.â
Stella lifted her head and turned off the screen, âNothing. Since weâve moved into the Starry Lake Mansion, I think I should buy some things. Do you have any recommendations? Or what thing do you want to buy?â
Clarence said, âThere will be a charity auction next month. I will bring you there and you can buy everything you like.â
Stella was rendered speechless.
It was unnecessary to be so exaggerated.
She said, âI meant goods for furniture for display rather than for use.â
Clarence raised his brows, âThe auction will auction various kinds of things. Itâs good to buy some paintings and porcelains.â
Stella opened her mouth trying to say something, yet decided not to ask the question in the end.
She couldnât get any referential information from Clarence.
She could think over it later.
Clarence rubbed her head, âI will send you a gift several days later.â
Stella looked towards him, âWhatâs it.â
âYou will know it later.â
âCanât you tell me now?â
Clarence uttered the refusal slowly, âN-O-P-E.â
Stella was rendered speechless.
How did this wretched man learn this trick?
Although there was a small traffic jam, they still arrived at the appointed place before eight oâclock.
After getting out of the car, Clarence looked around and asked, âWhy do we have to date here?â
Stella held up his hand and took a step forward, âWeâve arrived. Letâs come in.â
Sherry messaged her just now, saying that everyone had arrived.
They then walked to a private room. Stella pushed open the door and found the room was prevailed by silence. When she prepared to express her confusion, Clarence wrapped his arms around her waist and asked in a charming voice, âI didnât expect you would choose such a place. What do you want to do?â
âNope. I...â
Before she could finish the words, Clarence landed a kiss on her lips.
However, the moment his lips touched Stellaâs, the lights in the room were suddenly turned on and spray strings exploded above their heads.
âHappy birthday!â
Clarence, â...â
Stella, â...â
When Stella came to her own sense, she hurriedly left Clarenceâs embrace, her face crimson red.
The group of people was frozen on the spot, each holding a spray string bottle, and they all looked away awkwardly.
Clarence expressionlessly took down a colored string from his head and glanced around.
Sherry and the others, who were frozen just now, immediately found excuses after a short while of silence, âOh, the alcohol is cooling down. We should drink it as soon as possible.â
Sherry tentatively said, âCan we begin to eat now? Iâm almost starved.â
Just as she finished the words, Daniel picked up a piece of pizza and handed it to her.
Sherry said, âNo thanks. I wanted to eat that.â
When Sherry reached out to the spicy fish, Daniel stopped her, âItâs too spicy. You canât eat that.â
Sherry pouted, âI will just eat a bit of that. I can eat spicy food after all.â
Daniel said, âIf you really want to eat that, I will ask the waiter for a glass of hot water. You should rinse it in the water before eating.â
Winnie, who just picked up a fruit folk, was rendered speechless when seeing this, âWhat are you doing? To rinse the spicy fish?â
Just as she finished the words, Channing put a fruit pudding onto her plate.
Sherry widened her eyes, âWhat are you doing?â
Winnie laughed awkwardly, picked up the fruit pudding from her plate and put it onto Sherryâs plate, âIâm working hard to lose my weight recently. You guys please enjoy it.â
Channing didnât say anything and placed the bowl of fruit salad in front of her.
Sherry was confused.
She then looked towards Daniel. Daniel raised his brows.
Donald sat on the sofa with a glass of wine at his hand, feeling life quite boring, âI was wrong.â
Vincent asked, âWhat did you mean?â
âI thought Stella would invite many friends here, but I didnât expect she would only invite them. She doesnât give me any space to show my charm.â
Vincent twitched his mouth, âDrop your bad ideas.â
Clarence glanced over them and then turned his head to look at Stella, âWhy are they here?â
Hearing the question, Sherry took the opportunity to congratulate him, âMr. Conrad, happy birthday.â
Clarence crossed his long legs and said in a flat tone, âIâm not happy.â
Stella secretly kicked him under the table, suggesting him not to be so indifferent.
Clarence spoke again, âThank you. Iâm not happy at all.â
Stella was rendered speechless.

Several minutes later, a waiter came in with a cake on the dolly.
It was time to blow out the candles.
Stella picked up the birthday cap, stood on tiptoes and prepared to put it on Clarenceâs head. But Clarence took the cap from her and put it on her head.
Stella asked, âWhy did you put it on my head? Itâs not my birthday.â
Clarence curled his lips into a smile, leaned forward and whispered into her ear, âItâs so silly, and youâre more suitable to it.â
Stella instantly clenched her fists.
Winnie said, âItâs time to blow out the candles. Congratulations, Mr. Conrad, youâre a year older.â
With their congratulations, Clarence quickly blew out the candles.
