Chapter 1008

“Why… Why don’t I just wait in his office?” asked Stella.

“I’m afraid that’s inappropriate. It’s best if you wait outside, Miss Lindsay,” said the secretary.

Stella gritted her teeth and sat down on the couch outside.

She only felt that the secretary was treating her differently today. Although she seemed respectful and even offered her a of coffee when she sat down, she was no longer fawning over her.

cup ‘Is it because… Brian has openly stated that we’re not a couple in the interview?’ Stella’s heart was filled with rage at the thought.
