Chapter 226

Chapter 226:

“Stella, are you okay? Are you alright?”

Kelly also rushed to Stella’s side from a short distance away, looking at her to check on her.

At that moment, Stella’s heart was full of mixed emotions. Originally, it was because this man wasn’t home that she dared to touch his horse, but now... The president not only came home without telling anyone, but he also caught her riding his horse with his own eyes! She was in a panic.

Perhaps RK had already taught her a lesson before. Things were happening one after another, and she hadn’t even fully processed the first incident when another one occurred. Stella couldn’t help but feel upset.

“It’s okay. It’s not a big deal,” Stella said, lowering her head.

To be honest, Kelly and RK had met before, but it had only been limited to two brief occasions—once when Stella went back to the karaoke, got caught, and went home. After that, they didn’t have much to do with each other.

Additionally, the president was a cold and indifferent person by nature. Even after spending so much time with him, Stella was still not used to it. Kelly, who had only met him a few times, certainly wasn’t either.

Although Stella usually brought her friends to play at the RK mansion during parties, she was always careful to pick a good time.

She only invited friends over when RK wasn’t home. She didn’t dare allow any unrelated people in, for fear that the president, who was often displeased with her, would drive them out on the spot, without regard for her dignity.

Therefore, the current situation was quite embarrassing.

“Mr. Kingston... hello,” Kelly greeted RK, who was standing next to Stella.

Kelly had heard how RK usually treated Stella. She knew about the man’s character and had probably heard everything from Stella herself. That was why, now that she was meeting him in person—and at his house, no less—she didn’t know what he thought of her.

To put it bluntly, Kelly was a bit afraid.

She had said many things about him while she was with Stella, but those were just words. Now, in his presence... The aura this president exuded was something that an ordinary person couldn’t withstand.

Then, silence. That was all. The atmosphere grew quiet and awkward.

Stella, still worried because she had ridden the president’s horse, found her mind going blank for a moment. She didn’t know how to handle the awkwardness between the two of them.

The calmest person there was, of course, none other than RK himself.

The president seemed to treat them as though they didn’t exist. He held the reins with one hand and stroked the horse’s head and body with the other. The wild black horse suddenly became docile and tame under RK’s touch!

It didn’t move at all—it was incredibly obedient! Stella, watching from the side, felt even more embarrassed. A master with a temper! A horse with a temper! It was so true!

That black horse had the same arrogant character as its master.

Ordinary people couldn’t tame them.

Stella looked awkwardly at the man beside her and asked, “Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn’t say anything...”

If she had known the president would return today, she wouldn’t have dared ride his horse, no matter how brave she was. And she certainly wouldn’t have let Kelly come over. This was awkward.

Usually, RK didn’t restrict her from bringing her classmates or friends to the house. As long as it wasn’t a boy, there were no limits on who Stella could invite over. Of course, she always chose times when RK wasn’t home.

Most of the time, people assumed the RK mansion was hers, not his.

“I came back because I saw you ride this horse,” came the man’s cold voice from above.

Stella was speechless.

It seemed the president had been watching her.

Then RK spoke again. “I told you before that you are not allowed to touch my things, especially this horse. You can’t tame it.”

There was silence.

At that moment, Stella wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. She was beyond embarrassed.

“Mr. Kingston,” Kelly suddenly spoke up as the tension increased. “Mr. Kingston, I’m sorry. I rode Stella’s horse, so she didn’t have one to ride. She had no choice but to ride yours. I apologize on her behalf.” Kelly was very protective.

What was the relationship between the two? Although Kelly had never seen it with her own eyes, she could only guess what it was like.

The situation Stella was currently in...

This was the first time Kelly had ever seen it.

RK didn’t respond. He remained completely silent, as if he hadn’t even heard what Kelly said.

Then, without another word, he led his black horse away.

Stella pursed her lips. She didn’t know how to explain her complicated relationship with RK to Kelly, but her friend just gave her an innocent look, not wanting to pressure her too much.

“Shall we go?” Kelly asked.

Stella nodded.

“Ahh...”
