Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 57:.

The man who had earlier offered RK a cigarette and tried to introduce him to women dared not say another

word. Now everyone understood that Stella was RK’s female companion, and that he didn’t need any other

women to wait on him tonight.

Due to the previous awkwardness, the private room fell silent again. For a moment, no one knew how to break

the tension.

Finally, James broke the silence and said, “Con, everyone, let's play cards! It's been so long since we've

seen each other; how can we not play cards?”.

As he spoke, a group of people gathered around the square table. James, as the host of the meeting, naturally

took the lead in organizing everything. There were nearly 20 men and women inside the private room.

Smen had one or two partners, so it wasn’t wrong to say that there were more good-looking women than

men in the room.

RK, who was the center of everyone's attention, was naturally surrounded by a group of people and led to a

smaller chess and card room inside the private room to play cards. But RK said nothing before leaving.

Stella remained in her original position, feeling uncomfortable. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to stay

where she was or follow him.

The other women in the room had wealthy partners, so they joined the men in the chess and card room, except

for the couple who didn’t play cards. Like Stella, they stayed on the couch to sing.

“Con, everybody! There are too many people here, so we have two free tables!”

Since the smaller room had no door, from Stella's position she could hear everything. She could even see what

was going on inside.

Under James’ call, the two tables were quickly occupied by the men playing cards while the women sat on the

side to watch. Stella looked at them, unsure if she should stay where she was.

If she didn’t stay, it would mean going over to RK's side. But if she went there, how would she be any different

from the other women? However, staying in the karaoke area also made Stella uncomfortable.

The couple next to her had already started kissing and touching, making her presence even more uncomfortable.

Stella felt shy and embarrassed, like a third wheel in their intimate moment.

After two successive rounds of cards, Stella heard someone say, “Mr. Kingston, you are very lucky today. You've

won two rounds in a row.”

Stella looked the other way. RK was sitting, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and playing cards with the

other.

The woman sitting next to him strikes up a conversation and says, “Hey, why don’t you go over there, how can

you leave Mr. Kingston alone playing cards? It’s irresponsible...”

Then, the women at the karaoke started making fun of her.

“That's right! We stay here because we love each other! Don’t you get lonely staying here alone?”

Stella was speechless. It was obvious that they were trying to push her away. Most likely, her presence made the

couple uncomfortable. At this point, she was clearly an unwanted third wheel. Awkwardly, Stella stood up.

After a moment's thought, he decided to approach where RK was. Anyway, the president was busy playing cards.

He would pay no attention to him. He could sit quietly next to him.

“You're here!”

Stella had stood behind him, hoping to be invisible and not draw attention to herself, but RK spoke directly to

her! Stella awkwardly replied, “Yes..."”.

RK, with the cards in his left hand, nonchalantly pointed with his right, which held the wine glass, to the seat

next to him. He said, “Pull up a chair and sit next to me.”

“Oh, okay!” Stella nodded obediently and took a chair from the side to sit down.

James, who was sitting across from RK, saw this and couldn't help but scoff, “Rene, this girl becquite

obedient after you scolded her!”.

Stella had just sat down next to the man when she heard those words, and she felt very unhappy! Obedient, my

foot! Who wants to listen to you?

If it wasn't for the fact that she was working overtime, this guy would definitely be in big trouble! Let's see if she

still listens to him or not.

If it weren't for overtime, how could | be sitting here next to this man, watching this group of young people play

cards? As soon as James finished speaking, someone else added, “Besides, who dares not listen to Mr. Kingston?

We don’t dare, let alone a girl!”.

These people were friends of RK. In addition, James was a social person who knew many people from other parts

of the world. He had known RK since they were children, so they had a good relationship.

Stella sat silently beside RK, like an invisible person, not saying a word from beginning to end. Let these people

say whatever they wanted.

While everyone was having fun, James, who was straightforward and liked to joke, looked at Stella and said, “RK,

you're getting married next month, and you're still having an office romance with your secretary. That's great...”

“Hahaha...”

As a result, the group burst out laughing. Obviously, to them it was a joke. To Stella, no matter how she heard it,

it sounded like everyone was laughing at her!

It was clear that she had never had a good relationship with this man since he arrived. Should she let herself be

mistaken for a mistress like this?
