Ch.8 Chapter 8 - When Love Comes Late

With his arms folded over his chest, he reclined in the chair and stared at her.

Stella avoided his gaze.

As she sat down, she moved the chair away a little bit.

Then, she began in a professional tone.

âYou are yet to reach an agreement with us for the use of your piano piece.

Is there a reason for that?

If you have any reservations about it, do tell.

I assure you that we will satisfy you as long as itâs within our power.

Henry remained mute as his eyes wandered all over her.

An icy warning trickled up Stellaâs spine.

She felt uncomfortable under his stare, but she still smiled.

âIâm aware that you are currently preparing to go on a nationwide tour soon.

I promise that this wonât affect your preparations.

On the contrary, we will spare some time to publicize your tour at the banquet as a token of our appreciation.

What do you think?â

Henry rubbed his chin for a while before saying, âI have to say that you make quite an attractive offer.

â He gave her a side look and then smiled.

Stella held out the prepared contract.

âPlease read through the contract.

If you have a problem with any of the clauses, I can have it modified immediately.

Without taking the document, Henry leaned back and put his hands at the back of his head.

âReading is so much work.

Worse yet, the contract looks so bulky.

I donât want to go through it.

Hearing this, Stella was in a dilemma.

âHow about you move closer and read it to me?â Henryâs eyes glistened with interest as he looked at her.

Stella pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

Having worked in the PR industry for many years, she had come across all kinds of clients who requested strange things.

Reading a contract aloud didnât seem that much of a big deal.

With that in mind, Stella moved a little closer while still making sure she was a safe distance from him.

She then cleared her throat and began reading.

Her eyes were on the document, but she could feel his burning stare wandering all over her body.

It gave her the heebieâjeebies.

Nonetheless, Stella straightened up and tried to concentrate on what she was reading.

Suddenly, Henry leaned over sharply.

Stella ducked out of instinct.
