Chapter 99 To Stella, Weston had gradually become no different from Guinevere, both control freaks that played with the lives of others at will.
His fingers gradually tightened on her. Stella felt a compelling pressure from him-she could sense the manâs displeasure. Even so, she did not flinch and just looked into his eyes like this. âStop wasting time and tell me. What should I do to make you let me go?â The hint of gentleness in his eyes gradually faded. He simply looked at her and enunciated carefully, âNever.â
Stella never imagined that Weston would drive her to work one day. She sat in the passenger seat with no expression on her face. Weston tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and occasionally glanced in Stellaâs direction. The black Cullinan attracted the attention of many people on the road.
A luxury car like this was a sight to behold wherever it went. When they were approaching the training center, Stella finally spoke. âDrop me off at the next intersection. Iâll walk there myself.â
âWhy? You donât want others to see us?â
Stella ridiculed, âMr. Ford, youâre a family man now. Iâve told you before. Even if I tell others that Iâm forced, Iâd get a bad name. You donât care about that, but I do.â
Weston wrinkled his brows a little. He looked like he was carefully considering her words.â Relax. No one will dare to say anything about you behind your back.â
Stellaâs expression remained unmoved. She knew Weston could protect anyone if he wanted to. Even so, she did not know why he was suddenly interested in her, and how long his interest would last.
TFC Maybe it was just like his sudden whim when he married her. Maybe after a while, he would say goodbye to her as coldly as before.
Stella was no longer apprehensive about his unpredictable thoughts. She was not interested in what he was thinking, so he unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
Weston did not make things difficult for her.
He had seen her stubbornness this morning, and he had no intention of making her change her attitude completely overnight.
For him, the most difficult projects in the business had to be done bit by bit. It might take a while, but Weston never lost either.
It was the same for Stella too. The woman he wanted had to be in his arms. After watching Stella go upstairs, he smoked a cigarette in his car before turning around and headed to the company.
The Ford Corporation had several branch offices in Fern City as well. After some consideration, he decided to move several key projects from Ahn City.
He was at Lowe Garden last night to explore the area and meet the people here. However, he did not expect to meet Stella. Everything after that got out of control. When he arrived at the company, the receptionist hurriedly greeted him and informed him,â Mr. Ford, Ms. Cohen wants to see you!â Weston stopped with a frown and looked a little annoyed. âI see.â âFrom now on, anyone who wants to see me must make an appointment,â he ordered âUnderstood, Mr. Ford.â
Weston stepped into the elevator and stared at the moving numbers with an impassive face.
The elevator led directly to his office.
As soon as the door opened, a slim figure rushed at him. âWeston, why didnât you answer the phone last night? I was so worried. I was afraid something bad had happened to youâ¦â
Guinevereâs eyes were full of worry. She asked with a crying voice, âDo you know how scared I was?â
Weston did not respond to her hug. After a while, he pulled her hand away and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
