âJust go,â replied the coworker as he waved his hand. âYou folks with kids are a pain.â
She wasnât upset since they were so close. However, if the same remarks had come from others, she would have fought them.
Tina sighed. âIâm so sorry. If youâre in trouble next time, Iâll cover up for you as well.â
At the restaurant.
Justin was still walking down the hallway. When no one replied, he pulled out his phone and dialed Stellaâs number.
Inside the dark room, her phone lit up.
Before it could ring, Stella jumped forward and immediately rejected the call.
She didnât want Justin to find out that she was in a room with Weston, Afraid that the drag racing incident might happen again, she didnât want anybody to be injured With a placid expression, Weston observed the whole thing. When he saw how terrified she was, he became delighted. âAre we cheating?â
He purposely whispered the last word besides her ears, provoking her.
She shoved him away with her hand. She would occasionally look at the door, terrified Justin would discover she was in the room.
Outside the corridor.
Justinâs face darkened as he stared at his phone.
âHi, can you help me go inside the washroom and check if thereâs a lady?â He stopped one of the waiters passing by. The waiter glanced at him skeptically but agreed when he noticed Justinâs demeanor. âAll right, sir. Wait a minute.â
Not too long later, the waiter walked out. âThereâs no one in the washroom,â he informed.â Do you need our help?â
âNo.â Justin firmly rejected.
However, after a moment of silence, he changed his opinion. âExcuse me, can you ask your manager if I could check the surveillance camera?â Sounding a bit anxious, he continued, âI came here with my fiancé and son. Please help me take care of my son. My flancé went to the toilet half an hour ago but hasnât come back since. I called her earlier, but she rejected my call.â Now that heâd put it that way, the matter seemed serious, and the waiter nodded immediately âIâll inform my manager now. Please donât worry sir.â Right after she left, Justin dialed the number once again. When Stella saw her phone lighting up again, she quickly hung up the call. However, she shuddered upon feeling a sudden warmth behind her ear, and the phone noisily clattered to the ground.
Her whole body froze at that instant, and she didnât dare to move one inch. She didnât even dare move away from Weston.
The next second, the corridor went dead quiet. Not long later, a flurry of footsteps gradually made its way in her direction.
At first, Justin was merely a little worried, but after being hung up on twice, his mood had. become complicated, and a million things raced through his mind. Suddenly, a sound came from the private room beside him, prompting him to instantly tighten his grasp on his phone. His gaze froze as he remembered Stella telling him that Weston had returned.
He walked slowly to the private roomâs door and knocked. âIs anybody inside?â he asked, his voice steady and calm.
Although he was doing everything he could to suppress his seething anger, Stella could still hear the irk in his tone.
She sucked in a deep breath and look at Weston. âWhat are you doing?â
Her whole body trembled, but he took pleasure in seeing her like this. A smirk appeared on his face as he whispered, âWhat did he call you? Fiancé?â
