Chapter 1420: Chapter 1423

The man was very attentive and enthusiastic. “Don’t worry. I know the boss here. He’s a friend of mine.

Just tell me if you have any car you like.”

Stella hurriedly shook her head and rejected him. “No, it’s too expensive for me to accept.”

The man’s smile became derisive. “So you don’t find the cars here any better than Mr. Ford’s Maybach and Rolls–Royce?”

Stella was stunned for a moment. She did not think if her words had expressed anything like this, but she simply found it inappropriate to accept such an extravagant gift from someone she had just met.

She wondered if it was just an imagination, but she found the man’s speech strange.

“A small business owner like me is certainly no match for a powerful man like Mr. Ford… But I’m not too bad. I can’t provide you with a luxurious life, but you’ll live better than most women.”

Stella finally knew what was wrong. Stella only had the intention of making friends. Although this was their first meeting, the man was already treating her like his property.

“Sorry,” Stella said to him with a smile, “but I can give myself a good life.”

The man frowned a little and seemed to disapprove of her words. However, he did not want to embarrass her. He nodded briefly and said perfunctorily, “I heard that actresses nowadays can make a lot of money…”

Despite saying that, he had a prejudice against her at heart. Even if actresses could make a lot of money, they had to sell themself and please men around them to get there. Besides, Stella was not a popular actress. She was just a pianist with a good reputation. How much could Stella earn? He thought she was just living off Weston. Seeing that he did not take her words seriously, Stella told him, “You seem to be very interested in the car show. I have something to do, so I can’t accompany you any longer.

Enjoy.”

Stella was about to leave right after saying that.

The man was quite surprised and looked at her. “You’re leaving?”

Stella answered with a nod.

The man seemed unhappy and was holding back his temper. “You don’t like any of the cars here? It’s okay. The next show…”

“Excuse me,” Stella interrupted him coldly, “I don’t need a car.”

The man finally got the message and laughed. “If you didn’t have the intention, why go on a blind date with me?”

Stella said, “Blind date?”

‘Roger!‘ Stella grumbled at heart. Roger had set her up! He never said it was a blind date and told her to make some new friends.

That explained why he wanted to buy her a new car at their first meeting. No one would settle down as soon as they meet on a blind date, right?

The man saw her displeased look and said solemnly, “Miss Cicily, let’s be frank. I know you have high standards because of your ex–husband. However, youth and purity are the most important thing for women. You have two children with another man. Although still young, this will be your second marriage.

That alone makes you less desirable in the market!” 1 The man eased his expression after seeing Stella’s coldness. “Well, I’m not saying that you’re worthless.

You’re beautiful and only in your twenties. You’re also an internationally famous pianist. Many men will still find you attractive, but successful men may go for less talented but young, beautiful, obedient women.”
