Chapter 439 âOkay.â
The door closed. Stella went to the balcony and watched as his car drove away.
From the rearview mirror, Weston watched as her reflection lengthened and finally faded into a black dot. He pressed his temple, but the joy on his face remained.
The driver could tell that he was in a very different mood today.
âMr. Ford, did something good happen? You seem really happy.â
âIs that so?â Weston closed his eyes.
Joan did not quite understand their matter, but she was happy to see them getting along nicely.
When she came out after some simple housekeeping, she saw Stella sitting in the living room and sipping her soup. As she stopped in her tracks, her smile faded.
Stella appeared happy and excited earlier, but she looked a little gloomy after that. âMs. Steele, do you need help?â
Stella came to her senses and looked at Joan. She then shook her head and smiled. âNo, Iâm fine. Iâm going out later. Can you get me some clothes?â âSure.â
Fern University.
Stella laughed and teased Roger, âYou said you were already a grown-up, but now you need me to accompany you to submit your documents.â
Roger just came out of the printing room. He laughed helplessly at her comment. âIf I do study abroad soon, we wonât have much time like these together. Canât you think of it as spending more time with me?â
âOf course. I took half a day off from work today.â
When Roger heard of that, he was a little puzzled. âBy the way, did they arrange accommodation for you? I heard that the hotel next to the set is very expensive. If you live there, wonât you spend more than you earn?â âDonât underestimate Bradley. Heâs a big shot. Thereâs certainly no problem with the money. Anyway, Iâm the second supporting actress on the set. The pay is better than you thinkâ¦â
Roger was relieved to hear that. He suddenly sighed, âI still donât feel comfortable letting you go to that kind of place.â
âDonât worry. Iâll take care of myself. When you get abroad, you have to keep in contact with me at all times.â âWhat about the time difference?â
âItâs fine. You can call me at any time.â
Roger smiled. He felt a little melancholic, but he refused to show it to Stella.
When the two of them were walking to the school building, a random girl suddenly stopped them on the way, âHello, Robb!â
Stella stopped in her tracks and looked at them with great interest.
The last time, a pretty girl had confessed to him, but he had rejected her. Roger could see the look in Stellaâs eyes. He felt a little troubled. âMay I ask what you want?â He looked at the girl in front of him.
âIâm busy with some matters now.â âI wonât take too much of your timeâ¦â
This girl was not as pretty as compared to the last one, but she had an innocent and nice face.
She was holding a pink envelope in her hand. With just a glance, Stella could tell that it was a love letter or something. She never thought there would be people who still wrote love letters these days.
She seemed innocent and naïve. This reminded her of her days in college. Everyone communicated via text messages and confirmed their relationship via texting. Rogerâs expression changed. He seemed to understand her intention, so he quickly rejected her. âSorry, I have no intention to get into a relationshipâ¦â The girl handed out the love letter anyway. However, she froze a little when he said that.
âI know⦠I donât need you to accept my confession now. I just wanted to tell you how I feel. Even if you donât like me, itâs fine.â As she said that, she could not help but look over at Stella. Then, she asked with some uncertainty, âRobb⦠are you still single?âWhen Stella heard that, she knew the girl misunderstood their relationship. Hence, she explained, âIâm not his girlfriend.â
