The employee turned to look at Stella.
Stella didn’t want to make things difficult for her and nodded. “It’s fine. Please, carry
on.”
With that, the staff member turned to leave.
Chris walked towards Stella and sat down before her. “I really didn’t expect that he’d
treat you like some precious treasure.”
“It’s just coming out for an afternoon of fun. Is that considered as treating me like
precious treasure?” Stella looked expressionlessly at him.
The two had parted unceremoniously at Ford Corporation’s building the last time, and
Chris even attacked Weston.
Yet, now that they’d met again, Chris acted as if nothing had happened.
It was evident that this man had outstanding mental tenacity.
Chris smiled and said nothing as he poured a glass of wine for himself. He took two
sips and asked, “Where is Weston?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“He went out for some fresh air.”
“Aren’t you worried? He’s been out for so long.”
Stella shook her head. “He’s a full-grown adult. What do I have to be worried about?”
“Aren’t you worried that another woman will seduce him? Beauties abound in this
place.”
Stella smiled sardonically, neither confirming nor denying Chris’ jabs. Initially thinking
that Chris would only sit around for a while, to her surprise, Chris showed no signs of
making a move even after ten minutes.
In fact, he looked increasingly comfortable where he was and seemed to have no
intention of leaving at all.
Stella stood up, unable to take it any longer. “I’ll go and look for him.”
Chris smiled and followed leisurely behind her, “Finally anxious? I’ve already said that
beauties abound in this place. If you don’t keep a close eye on him, a man like
Weston can be easily seduced by one of them.”
Chris was very familiar with The Doghouse, and he managed to find the balcony that
Weston had originally smoked at in no time.
Both of them did not expect to witness the scene before them.
Stella was stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
That woman was Weston’s secretary, and she saw her a couple of times in the office,
looking vastly different from how she looked right now.
Daisy, a white-collared elite, was supposed to be a successful career woman that
navigated her way around commercial skyscrapers while wearing sleek business
attire, making swift and resolute business decisions.
Yet, she now looked utterly out of sorts. Hiding behind Weston, her face was stained
with streaks of tears on her face that made her look pitiful.
Meanwhile, a man with his face contorted with rage stood in front of her, yelling at the
top of his voice.
However, since it was obvious that he was physically no match for Weston, he didn’t
dare to be too aggressive. He merely stood where he was and yelled as loud as he
could.
Before Stella could realize what was happening, she felt tension in the air.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw a black figure rushing out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as she tried to avoid the person, Chris bumped into her, and she almost fell.
“Daisy? What’s the matter! ”
Chris rushed to Daisy’s side, paying no attention to Stella, whom she had bumped
into.
Weston heard his voice and looked over. His brows furrowed slightly, but he collected
himself and retracted his gaze.
It wasn’t a surprise to see Chris at such a place.
But why did he care so much about Daisy? That was something that Weston did not
expect.
Previously, he noticed that Chris had been very attentive toward Daisy. That being
said, as long as it did not affect his performance at work, he couldn’t be bothered
about their personal affairs.
He didn’t want to interfere in his subordinates’ private lives—it had nothing to do with
him as long as work was not affected.
However, Daisy remained highly professional—she rejected Chris several times and
even embarrassed him the last time.
Hence, Weston believed that given Chris’ character, he would back off knowingly.
To Weston’s surprise, it seemed that Daisy had a place in his heart.
Chris pointed to the man standing in front and yelled coldly, “Who are you? How dare
you cause trouble in The Doghouse. Are you tired of living?”
