On the other end of the line, the huge meeting room was pin-dropping quiet.
All the senior executives held their breath while exchanging glances with each other.
In the past, it happened that Mr. Conrad retorted the keyboard men online by using the official micro-blog ID of Conrad Group. Hence, this scene was really not worth mentioning at all.
However, this was the very first time that they witnessed Mr. Conrad doing that. In their impressions, Mr. Conrad wasnât so afraid of his wife.
As the call ended, Clarence put down the phone. He coldly looked around the meeting room. âWhere did we stop?â
Nathan reminded him, âAbout the development progress of the projects last year.â
Clarence hummed, rubbing his nose bridge. âGo on.â
The silent and lifeless office had more warmth as if the winter was gone.
After the meeting ended, Nathan followed Clarence and whispered, âMr. Conrad, Daniel went to Star Ferry Technology. As for William, he hasnât taken any action yet.â
Clarence said, âCharles Steward watched him so closely. Of course, he wouldnât take any action.â
Upon hearing it, Nathan asked in confusion, âMr. Conrad, if what we guessed was true, wouldnât it be safer for him to give up the project of Steward Group?â
âHow can a flying bow be turned back? They have been planning for such a long time to take one step today. How could they give up so easily?â
âBut if they insisted on carrying out their plan, Mrs. Conrad would be dragged in danger certainly.â
After a moment of silence, Clarence said, âIf thatâs the case, itâs too late to regret it now, anyway.â
Nathan understood what he meant. William had already shown up in front of Charles. It would be just fine if the project went on smoothly. Charles sent someone to watch him just for inspection. However, if William directly gave it up, it would increase Charles's suspicion of him. In that case, Stella would be pushed into a much dangerous situation.
Sometimes, the destiny was quite ingenious. If they could have got the information earlier, things would be quite different.
After taking a few steps, Clarence continued, âDo I have any other arrangements tonight?â
Nathan answered, âNo, you donât.â
Since Clarence was reconciled with Stella, he had always canceled the business dinner in the evening.
Clarence said indifferently, âStella will go to a gathering. Iâll go to my motherâs tonight.â
Nathan slightly nodded. âOkay, Mr. Conrad. Iâll arrange it right now.â
Clarence added, âWhat actions has Joanna Perez taken?â
âShe should take the action pretty soon.â
Clarence curled up his lips and said with a cold look, âItâs almost time. If sheâs still not anxious, I will be anxious definitely.â
...
The studio.
Stella finished packing when there were a few knocks on the door of her office. A girl stretched her head in. âStella, are you ready? We are about to leave now.â
âYeah, Iâm ready. Letâs go.â
The birthday celebration was planned in a bistro nearby the studio. A lot of snacks were sold there. All the alcoholic drinks were fruit wines. Most of the customers were lovers or friends.
After Stella sat down, a girl next to her whispered to ask, âStella, isnât your younger brother joining us?â
Stella smiled. âHeâs busy at school. Probably next time.â
The girl looked a bit disappointed but she couldnât do anything. She said, âThatâs alright.â
Since it was a girlâs gathering, besides talking about their favorite idols and gossips, they talked about their love lives. After each other shared something, one girl asked, âStella, what about you?â
Stella was absent-minded just now, so she didnât listen to them carefully. Upon hearing the question, she was a bit stunned. âWhat?â
âHow did you get to know your boyfriend?â
Everyone seemed to be quite interested to know it.
Probably they didnât know the aloof and handsome man who always came to the studio was the CEO of Conrad Group. After the farce caused by Selina and the relevant events such as the hot search, they naturally knew it.
Another girl echoed, âExactly. Stella, is Mr. Conrad your ex-husband? You are together now, arenât you?â
âMr. Conrad is so handsome. Heâs rich and gentle. Awe! Iâm so envious.â
Stella was shocked, wondering how come they thought Clarence was gentle.
âBesides Mr. Conrad, another handsome man who always came to find Stella in the studio is also quite charming. Stella, he should be your admirer, right?â
âStella is so pretty, so she must have a lot of admirers. But I believe Mr. Conrad suits her the most.â
âI donât agree with you. If they truly fit each other, they wouldnât have divorced. Thatâs why we should try to fall in love several times. We canât stick to only one man.â
âYou are wrong. How could Mr. Conrad be the same as an ordinary man? He should be the most charming one among them all, OK?â
âBy the way, Stella, why did you divorce Mr. Conrad in the past?â
The girls discussed with each other, and the topic changed from how she got to know Clarence to how they divorced.
For a moment, Stella didnât know how to answer them. After thinking for a moment, she answered, âProbably it was because of lacking trust. But I believe the most important is to meet your Mr. Right at the right time. Love runs in both ways. No one would be absolutely right or wrong in it.â
If she hadnât met Clarence in Twilight Club, and they were with different identities when meeting in a different place, there wouldnât have been so many troublesome things.
Right then, one girl gently bumped the elbow of the girl sitting next to her. âDid you hear it? Stella also said so. Donât bitch about your boyfriend all the time. Love runs in both ways.â
The girl pouted. âIf my boyfriend were so handsome as Mr. Conrad. Not to mention understanding him, Iâd rather slap me across my face when fighting with him.â
Upon hearing it, all of them burst into laughter.

Those girls were almost fresh graduates from the college. They were in their early twenties. Some of them were still in the last year of college.
In their lives, there might be quite limited time for them to laugh out so freely in the future.
Right then, a girl sitting next to Stella asked, âStella, may I ask you a question in private?â
Stella nodded. âSure. Go ahead.â
The girl whispered, âWell... Does your younger brother have a girlfriend?â
Stella said, âI donât think so.â After a pause, she added cautiously, âAt least, so far as I know, he doesnât have one.â
The girl continued, âDo you know which type of girl he likes?â
Stella felt the question was quite difficult to answer.
She used to ask Channing as well, but he didnât answer her in detail at all.
