In the morning, Sherry wanted to go to the park for a walk. But it was so hot that she went to the shopping mall. It had been a while since she went shopping and now, she had a throbbing need to satisfy her so called material desires. She ended up buying quite a few things before going home.
Once home, Sherry said, âOkay, Iâve bought what I wanted. Now letâs go to the studio this afternoon. Iâm curious how Mr. Conrad is like at the studio!â
Stella nodded and stood without speaking a word.
Sherry asked when she noticed Stellaâs expression, âStella, whatâs up?â
Stella looked up and said, âSherry, thereâs something I had kept from you.â
Sherry saw that her expression had turned solemn and became nervous, âWhat... was the half-year report out and the studio had been losing money?â
âNo,â Stella replied.
Sherry patted her chest and said, âThatâs great. So long as weâre not losing money. Tell me.â
Stella said, âDaniel had been missing for a month.â
Sherry was stunned for a while before saying, âWhatâs the reason for his disappearance...â
âWhen we went to London a while back, it wasnât that my father was sick. He had been assaulted and was hospitalized because of his injuries. Daniel went missing just before his assault. Daniel had discovered the perpetrators and went missing thereafter.â
âBefore we came back, Darnell had already found them but according to the information, Daniel had been taken away by Lyndon.â
Sherry asked, âLyndon Steward?â
Stella gently nodded, âLyndon had left City N for a while. He is responsible for Danielâs disappearance and my fatherâs assault.â
âSo now Daniel...â
âSince Lyndon had taken him away, that meant that Daniel was still of use to him. At least... Daniel would not be in danger.â
Sherry sat on the sofa and her face was colorless. After a long while, she said, âYes... so was he already missing when I couldnât contact him? It wasnât that he was too busy at the office or William was sick...â
Stella pursed her lips, âYes.â
Sherry was at a loss, âNow I donât know... I...â
Stella hugged and comforted her, âSherry, rest assured. William has people looking for him. Additionally, Clarenceâs men are also looking for him.
Lydon could not escape. We will find Daniel soon.â
Sherry laid on Stellaâs shoulder and was choked with sobs. âHe...heâll be fine. Heâs so intelligent and will find a way...â
âYes, heâll be alright.â
After a while, Sherry released Stella and wiped her tears from her face, âI must brace myself up and should not cry. I had shed more tears within these few days than in my life.â
She then hugged Stella again, âIf a shitty person like Liam can live so well, then Daniel will be fine. He had not done anything unscrupulous other than lie to me. If he comes back safely, I will stop quarrelling with him and scolding him.â
Stella felt a lump in her throat and her eyes turned red. She patted Sherryâs back and said, âHeâll be home safely.â
Sherry cried so much that her eyes were swollen and could not go to the studio in the afternoon. She rested at home and asked Stella to go to the studio without her. She would rest at home by herself.
Stella agreed.
Before Stella left, she asked Sherry, âCall me if you have any engagement tonight or if you want to eat anything.â
Sherry said, âI want to eat hot pot.â
âIn a month,â Stella said.
Sherry waved at her, âDrive carefully.â
Stella smiled and closed the door.
The few female colleagues were working on tenterhooks when Stella arrived at the studio. They were relieved when they saw Stella. They rushed over to her and said, âStella, youâre finally back!â
âStella, howâs Sherry? When will she be back?â
âStella, donât leave us...â
Stella chuckled to hear their pleas and said, âIâll leave at the end of the day.â
From the looks of it, they had been traumatized by Clarence. In the past, they all liked Clarence. In the past, they would be excited for days after catching a glimpse of Clarence.
Nathan was present as Stella went to her office. Nathan smiled and greeted, âMs. Radomil.â
Stella acknowledged and said, âI would have brought your present if I knew that you were here.â
Nathan took out something from behind him and asked, âDo you mean this one?â
Stella was dumbfounded.
Clarence said calmly, âI saw it on my way out so brought it with me.â
Nathan said, âThanks, Ms. Radomil.â
âNo... donât mention it.â Stella continued, âYou two continue, Iâll come in later.â
Clarence said, âNo need. Heâs leaving soon.â
Nathan said, âYes, Iâve finished reporting to Mr. Conrad. Goodbye, Ms. Radomil.â
âBye.â
After Nathan left, Stella looked at Clarence, âIs Nathan going back to the Conrad Group or...â
âJustin gave him a monthâs paid leave.â
Stella pondered for a while before saying, âYou lost.â
Clarence was puzzled.
Stella said, âThink about it. Your brother is so generous to give him a monthâs paid leave. And you? You made him work during his leave. If I had known about this, I should have prepared a more valuable gift.â
Clarence said, âHe is not someone who could be bought with money.â

Clarence was speechless. He glared at Stella.
Stella sat beside him and said tenderly, âHavenât you realized how much youâve traumatized the ladies outside?â
âHow did I traumatize them?â
âItâs not that you traumatize... itâs that... oh forget it. I donât know how to describe it.â
Clarence had a strong presence. He could be intimidating by merely standing there. Occasionally he would rebuke sternly. He had the ability to make those around him love him, afraid of him, and hate him.
When it came to work, there was no room for mistakes.
She had seen the senior management of the Conrad Group behaving nervously during meetings with him.
Stella thought for a moment before she spoke, âYouâre too hard to be a sponger.â
âThatâs true, honey, I know you like me hard.â
Where the hell did this come from?
She was stating the facts and how did his warped mind drift so wildly?
After a couple of seconds, Clarence said, âThen what should I do?â
Stella didn't catch on, âWhat?â
Clarence said nonchalantly, âHow do I become a good boss without scaring them?â
