Chapter 15

Chapter 15:.

Stella thought, “I don’t need to introduce myself. You know perfectly well who I am. Then why is he doing this? Of course, he’s doing it to annoy me...”

Stella rolled her eyes.

But just as she was about to stop rolling her eyes, suddenly the man she had been staring at all along turned his head and looked in her direction. Stella was so startled that she forgot to roll her eyes....

Did this man have eyes in the back of his head, she thought. If he didn’t, why did he suddenly turn his head when she rolled her eyes at him? So far he had ignored her, treating her as if she were invisible.

“Stella Richard, do you have a problem with me?” RK looked at her with a slight smile. His voice was calm and low.

This damn man is so calm... It’s like nothing affects him.

Stella cursed him silently.

Elena listened to the president’s words and said in a strict tone, “Stella, don’t be rude in front of the boss. Introduce yourself again and propose a toast”.

But Stella remained still, refusing to move. Rude and disrespectful to him? she thought. After all he’d done to her, this was nothing.

But... Stella didn’t move. She didn’t want to introduce herself to this man. Rude and disrespectful to him? What he had done to her before...

She didn’t want to forget her past and how this man had proposed divorce. After what had happened six years before, she couldn’t pretend nothing had happened and accept him as her boss.

On the other hand, Stella didn’t want to see his face at all. She didn’t want to hear about him. She wanted to vent all the anger and hatred she had built up over the past six years. She wanted to unburden herself to him.

“Maybe it’s love and hate...”

While Stella was scolding and cursing that man in her heart... he suddenly called out to her.

For a moment, Stella was in shock. She wanted to rub her ears because she felt that something was wrong. She felt that she had heard something wrong....

It was not only Stella who was shocked. So were Elena, the others present, and even.... Sofia.

Sophia was sitting next to RK. When she heard him call Stella in such a familiar way, hatred and anger were evident in her eyes.

At that moment, she just wanted to kill Stella with her bare hands.

Stella also felt uncomfortable being called that.

During their three years of marriage, that man had never shown any closeness to her, let alone something like that in front of someone like Sophia; not even in a simple way of addressing her....

But today... Not only had he called her that in front of Sophia, but there were also people from the project department. Everyone in the project department was surprised and looked at RK.

There was only one word on their minds.... The boss was...

RK picked up his glass of red wine from the table. The man who had been sitting like a king the whole time suddenly stood up, glass in hand.

Twenty people surrounded the round table, so close together that they were practically squashed together, waiting for RK to glance at them and remember their faces. Now that RK was standing, they were squeezed in even tighter.

When RK had been sitting, Stella was able to look down at him from above. Now that he was standing, he was a little taller than her, which made her feel smaller in front of him as he looked down on her....

Standing in front of her, he made her feel inferior. Wow! Amazing.... He’s so tall he can even intimidate people just with his height, Stella thought.

The man stood before her, holding the glass in his long, slender fingers. The red wine inside it swirled like blood, giving it an intimidating look....

When he had been sitting, it had been no problem, but now that he had stood up, he was suddenly close to her. Stella felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to step back. But she almost stepped on Elena’s foot, who was behind her.

So... she couldn’t move and stayed still.

Being so close to him, I could even see the emotions in his deep blue eyes. I could see his face so closely from this distance. His skin was smooth and clear.

RK reached out and clinked his glass with hers. Stella was half a step away from him. “As you wish.”

His lips were pressed in a straight line, but in his eyes was a faint smile. Her eyes crinkled at the corners, creating almost invisible wrinkles that only added to her charm, speaking of experience and hardship rather than age.

This time even the big boss had taken the initiative to toast with her. How could he disrespect her now?

As soon as Stella picked up her glass and was about to drink, Elena quickly said, “Stella, you haven’t finished your toast to Mr.

RK. Now you have to finish it. Don’t be rude.”

A few moments ago, everyone had emptied their glasses after toasting him, but Stella had only taken a sip, dutifully following RK’s earlier suggestion. To Elena, this was almost offensive to the big boss.

“No need,” RK interjected, his voice cold. He was responding to Elena, but his eyes were still fixed on Stella.

“You still have to work tomorrow. Drink while you get dressed.”

Stella felt goose bumps all over her body. Everyone’s eyes fell on Stella once again....

Without further ado, Stella raised her glass, which had just clinked against RK’s, and said, “Thank you, Mr. RK.”

“Hmmm.”

They both drank face to face. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Stella and RK.

Suddenly, Stella felt that if someone stood next to her, the person around her also began to shine and become the center of attention.
