âHere you go.â Ben immediately handed the files to him.
Stardust Mansion.
Roger had a lot of documents relating to his application to study abroad. Stella made a copy of some important information. She had a lot of things to ask Weston later, which was why she acted so affectionate with him earlier.
As she went through the documents, she found a very difficult problem.
Weston helped resolve the issue of Roger and her identity. If Roger wanted to go abroad, they would need Westonâs help.
Stella sighed. After she made the preparations for her work tomorrow, she checked the time. Since it was about time, she sent Weston a message. (What time are you coming back tonight?] Weston was in the car. He just went to see a client and was on his way back to the company. He leaned back in the car and closed his eyes to rest. When he saw Stellaâs message, he replied almost instantly.
[Soon. About an hour and a half.]
Stella thought about it and sent her reply. (Why donât I pick you up?] There was no reply from him for a long time. Stella thought he did not see it. When she was about to call him, Weston finally replied to her text. It was just a punctuation mark-a question mark. Westonâs face remained expressionless, but his emotions were in a turmoil. After a short pause, he called Stella directly. The call connected quickly.
The manâs low voice came through the phone. âWhat do you mean?â
âI want to come and pick you up.

Canât a man be picked up and dropped off?â Stella found his logic funny. âHavenât you driven me to the training center before?â
âItâs not the same.â
âI donât think itâs different⦠Forget it. I wonât go if you donât want me to.â Stella pretended like she was about to end the call.
Just as she expected, Weston stopped her. âWait.â
Stella deliberately sounded hesitant while asking, âWhatâs the matter?â She heard the man on the other end laugh helplessly. It seemed like he compromised. âCan you drive?â âAre you looking down on me?â
âWhy donât you let the driver drive? You can come in the car.â
âThatâs insincere and meaningless. Why donât you just come back yourself, then.â
Weston furrowed his brow. âIâm worried about you on the road.â âIâll be fine. Iâm good at driving.â
(C Weston could not win against her argument. He had anticipated it too. âPick a safer car. There are plenty in the garage. If yoạâre not sure, ask the driver.â
âI know. Iâll pick you up safely.â âOkay. Then Iâll wait for you at the office.â After hanging up the phone, Weston thought for a moment and sent Stella the full address of his office.
Stella replied to his text with a series of ellipses. Westo
