Stella tilted her head to the side and purposely avoided listening to him on the phone. Justin was annoyed when seeing her behaving that way through the rearview mirror. âHurry up and tell me already.â
The person on the other end of the phone laughed nonchalantly. âWhatâs wrong with you, bro? You sound so pissed.â
He massaged his glabella. âI donât have time to listen to your nonsense. Iâll hang up if there is nothing important.â
âHey, donât! I need your help.â
After the person told him something on the phone, he hung up and cast an apologetic look at her.
âThere is something urgent I need to take care of. I need to send an important document to my relative.
Itâll not take long-about half an hour. I wonder if it would cause you inconvenience if I go there first and send you back later.â She answered, âItâs okay. You can go and take care of your things. I can get a cab.â âNo, itâs already very late. Itâs not safe for a woman to take a cab alone.â He frowned before he stopped her. âForget it. Iâll send you back first.â She quickly said, âItâs alright. You should settle the matter first.â He let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense face. âIâll be quick.â
The car quickly turned around. The chauffeur obviously sped up a bit and arrived at a villa area not long after. The area was very tranquil. Although it was not as luxurious as the one they left from just now, it was still very high class.
The car stopped in front of a small white villa, and a man in gray casual wear standing at the door came over right after he heard the sound of the car.
When she looked out and met the manâs eyes, she was shocked.
Wasnât he the man that night?
The man looked over the window subconsciously when the window was rolled down. He confirmed that she was Stella only after he fixed his gaze on her.
He ignored Justin, who was getting out of the car, and walked to the car window in surprise. Arm resting on the window, he looked at her with much interest. âWhy are you here?â
She was equally taken aback. âYou are Mr. Hallâs relative?â
Seeing their interaction, Justin frowned. âSince when do you know each other?â
The man turned to Justin and laughed. âDidnât I tell you that I went on a blind date a few days ago? The one I met with was her. Why is she in your car today?â
He looked at Justin and Stella for a while. Then, he burst into laughter and looked at Stella.â Could it be that you donât fancy me because you fell for him? Do you think he can deal with your ex?â
He talked with a teasing voice, not at all aware that the atmosphere was already cold and heavy. Justin looked at Stella and asked with a serious tone, âWhat is going on here?â ***
Justin drove the car to send Stella back home. Stella felt that the heavy atmosphere was suffocating.
After a while, she heard the man say with a deep voice, âAre you looking for a man to marry to get rid of Weston?â When he heard what Charles said, his first reaction was delight.
He originally didnât think that Stella was a woman who would lose herself because of Westonâs status, and he admitted that he was a bit disappointed before. When he got to know that she didnât plan to be with Weston, he felt rather relieved. But when he realized that she would rather go on a blind date with a stranger than seek help from him, he suddenly felt annoyed again. Holding the steering wheel, he asked, âAm I that lousy in your eyes?â
