Chapter 849: Chapter 849

On the way back to the studio, Stella had been absentminded.

After arriving at her studio, when Sherry discussed the remodeling matter with her, Stella didn’t listen at all.

Noticing her mood wasn’t good, Sherry stopped and asked, “Stella? Stella?”

Stella suddenly returned to her senses. “Yes?”

Sherry asked, “Has Daphne told you anything?”

She boldly guessed. “Is Daphne the half-sister of Donald from a different mother, or from a different father? Would it be an incest?”

Stella didn't know how to reply to that.

She was amused. “No... It’s not because of them. Some other things.”

Seeing that Stella was unwilling to tell her, Sherry didn’t insist on asking. She said, “Well, I’ll make my own decision on the remodeling then. I’ll show you the drafts later.”

Stella nodded. “Sure. Thank you so much, Sherry.”

Sherry patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t mention it. Please go home and have a rest. Leave the studio to me.”

Stella nodded in agreement. “Okay. I happen to have something to deal with.”

She wanted to go to Steward Group.

When Stella arrived at the president’s office, Clarence was in a meeting.

His assistant gave her a glass of water and left.

Stella sat for a while, feeling bored. She stood up and walked around. Then she saw a data analysis report on Clarence’s desk.

She picked it up and browsed but couldn’t understand anything.

Then she put it down and saw photo frames next to it.

There was their group photo at Yue Lao Temple.

Earlier, when she went to Conrad Group, she had seen it in Clarence’s office as well.

She hadn’t expected him to take the photo here.

There was another photo on which Stella held Noah with a bright smile. She could tell that Clarence had taken it secretly.

She couldn’t remember when it happened. However, judging from the surroundings, she could tell they were in the private villa of Riverside City.

Stella gazed at Noah without a blink.

When Clarence entered his office, he saw the scene.

He strode to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “When did you arrive?” he asked.

Seeing that, Nathan left the office in silence and closed the door.

Stella turned to look at him. “Not long ago. Have you finished the meeting? Are you still busy? Would you like to eat something?”

Clarence answered, “I need to deal with a few files. Let’s talk later.”

He asked, “Have you signed the contract?”

Stella knew Donald had told him.

She nodded slightly. “Yep. We’ve contacted the interior design companies already.”

She put down the photo frame and added, “Please go back to your work. I’ll wait for you to go home together.”

Clarence pecked her behind her ear. “I’m not in a hurry. Tell me why you came to me.”

Stella was shocked, wondering if her intention was too evident.

She turned around and asked slowly, “What’s your plan for the New Coast project?”

Clarence probably hadn’t expected her to mention this suddenly. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, “Hmm?”

Stella explained, “I heard there were many problems with this project. I know it was done purposely by your bro... Justin Conrad, but you should have ways to deal with them. I shouldn’t have asked you so, but...”

However, as she said to Daphne, it was way too dangerous.

She didn’t think even Clarence would get rid of the trouble easily.

Besides, she had a feeling that Justin wasn’t afraid of letting Clarence join the project. Instead, he was thrilled.

It meant that Justin had already set up traps to wait for Clarence in the project.

No matter what those traps would be, once there was something wrong with the project, it was a fatal thing.

Clarence knew what she was worried about. Stroking the back of her neck slightly, he said, “I’ll be fine. Don’t you believe me?”

Stella looked at him. “But, Justin has been reckless already. I’m afraid...”

“No worries. Things wouldn’t go that far.”

His voice was gentle and low, utterly different from usual.

Stella’s heart sank. It meant that even Clarence himself didn’t know how things would go in the future.

As he said before, he wouldn’t do anything uncertain.

For a matter like this before, if it didn’t harm his interest, he wouldn’t take care of it.

However, he had to take care of this matter this time.

Clarence pulled her into his arms and said steadily, “As long as you are safe, I’ll be fine.”

Stella wrapped her arms around his waist. All she could do right now was not to trouble him.

After a while, there were a few knocks on the door. Nathan said, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. Two files need your signature immediately...”

Instantly, she withdrew from Clarence’s arms and adjusted her mood. “Then... Go back to your work. I’ll wait for you.”

If it hadn’t been something urgent, Nathan wouldn’t knock on the door now.

Clarence laughed in silence and said, “All right.”

While he was working, Stella sat on the sofa, browsing Noah’s photos from Archer.

Noah grew up gradually along with her browse.

While she was staring at the photos, she received a message from Donald: ?

Stella replied to him: ?

Donald: Any feedback? I’ll decide whether to hire a bodyguard home.

Stella was speechless.

She replied: I asked her. It has nothing to do with you.

Donald: I’m confused.

Stella: Have you met Daphne before?

Donald: Why?

Stella: She seems to trust you a lot. It’s not like blind worshipping.

Donald: Don’t you know a handsome man is born easygoing and attractive to others? Then others can trust me easily.

Stella: Thank you for your narcissistic explanation.

Donald replied to her with a smiley face emoji.

Stella was relatively idle, so she started exchanging emojis with him to kill time.

Sherry had sent her quite a lot of funny emojis.

A few minutes later, Stella put down the phone, feeling exhausted.

Right then, Clarence asked, “Are you sleepy?”

Stella was about to say no, but she yawned.

Clarence walked over, took off his suit jacket, and put it on her. “Take a nap. I’ll wake you up when leaving.”

Stella nodded and lay down on the sofa.

Clarence rubbed her hair, turned around to pick up the files on the desk, and walked out.

Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 848: This Matter Is More Dangerous Than You Could Imagine An Eight-year-old Princess Chapter 1410 Go And Return Quickly Critic Chapter 105: Missing Drake Nathan immediately took them over. “Thank you, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence said, “Send the quarterly reports of all departments to my office.”

Nathan answered. When he was about to leave, Clarence added, “Well, I’ll wait for you here. Hurry up.”
