When Stella arrived at the Conrad Group, Clarence was at a meeting and Nathan was also not present.
She then chose to wait in his office.
She waited until seven o’clock. During this period, Sherry and Winnie sent messages to her, saying that they’d
arrived. Channing was stuck in traffic, but he would also arrive soon.
When Stella prepared to go out and ask when the meeting would come to an end, the door of the office was
pushed open.
Clarence walked towards her in strides, “Do you wait for long?”
Stella put her phone back into her pocket and smiled, “Not that long. Do you have to deal with any other matter?”
“Nope.”
“Then I will take you to a place.”
Clarence slightly raised his brows, “So you come here for a date with me.”
Stella held up his hand and took a step forward, “You can think so. Hurry up. Don’t be dilatory.”
When the doors of the lift were opened and Stella was about to enter the lift, a man walked out of the lift and
reported, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve taken back the person. And…”
Maxwell paused when he saw Stella, retreated to a side and nodded his head at Stella.
Clarence replied with a nasal sound. He didn’t say anything.
After entering the lift, Stella recalled the scene and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
Clarence grabbed her hand and replied in a composed voice, “Nothing. A document of my company was lost and
he just took back the employee responsible for it.”
“Isn’t it a serious problem? Then I think we shouldn’t go out now.”
“It’s not that serious. They will deal with it according to the situation.”
“Well.”
When they went downstairs, it was still raining. Stella told the driver about the address and then took out her phone
to select a gift for Clarence. But after browsing for a long while, she found the gifts were all not innovative.
Moreover, Clarence was a picky person, so she didn’t know what gift he would be satisfied with.
When Stella was focusing on it, Clarence gently tabbed her head, “What are you looking at? You’ve paid attention to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit for a long time.”
Stella lifted her head and turned off the screen, “Nothing. Since we’ve moved into the Starry Lake Mansion, I think I
should buy some things. Do you have any recommendations? Or what thing do you want to buy?”
Clarence said, “There will be a charity auction next month. I will bring you there and you can buy everything you
like.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
It was unnecessary to be so exaggerated.
She said, “I meant goods for furniture for display rather than for use.”
Clarence raised his brows, “The auction will auction various kinds of things. It’s good to buy some paintings and
porcelains.”
Stella opened her mouth trying to say something, yet decided not to ask the question in the end.
She couldn’t get any referential information from Clarence.
She could think over it later.
Clarence rubbed her head, “I will send you a gift several days later.”
Stella looked towards him, “What’s it.”
“You will know it later.”
“Can’t you tell me now?”
Clarence uttered the refusal slowly, “N-O-P-E.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
How did this wretched man learn this trick?
Although there was a small traffic jam, they still arrived at the appointed place before eight o’clock.
After getting out of the car, Clarence looked around and asked, “Why do we have to date here?”
Stella held up his hand and took a step forward, “We’ve arrived. Let’s come in.”
Sherry messaged her just now, saying that everyone had arrived.
They then walked to a private room. Stella pushed open the door and found the room was prevailed by silence.
When she prepared to express her confusion, Clarence wrapped his arms around her waist and asked in a
charming voice, “I didn’t expect you would choose such a place. What do you want to do?”
“Nope. I…”
Before she could finish the words, Clarence landed a kiss on her lips.
However, the moment his lips touched Stella’s, the lights in the room were suddenly turned on and spray strings
exploded above their heads.
“Happy birthday!”
Clarence, “…”
Stella, “…”
When Stella came to her own sense, she hurriedly left Clarence’s embrace, her face crimson red.
The group of people was frozen on the spot, each holding a spray string bottle, and they all looked away awkwardly.
Clarence expressionlessly took down a colored string from his head and glanced around.
Sherry and the others, who were frozen just now, immediately found excuses after a short while of silence, “Oh, the
alcohol is cooling down. We should drink it as soon as possible.”
Sherry tentatively said, “Can we begin to eat now? I’m almost starved.”
Just as she finished the words, Daniel picked up a piece of pizza and handed it to her.
Sherry said, “No thanks. I wanted to eat that.”
When Sherry reached out to the spicy fish, Daniel stopped her, “It’s too spicy. You can’t eat that.”
Sherry pouted, “I will just eat a bit of that. I can eat spicy food after all.”
Daniel said, “If you really want to eat that, I will ask the waiter for a glass of hot water. You should rinse it in the
water before eating.”
Winnie, who just picked up a fruit folk, was rendered speechless when seeing this, “What are you doing? To rinse
the spicy fish?”
Just as she finished the words, Channing put a fruit pudding onto her plate.
Sherry widened her eyes, “What are you doing?”
Winnie laughed awkwardly, picked up the fruit pudding from her plate and put it onto Sherry’s plate, “I’m working
hard to lose my weight recently. You guys please enjoy it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChanning didn’t say anything and placed the bowl of fruit salad in front of her.
Sherry was confused.
She then looked towards Daniel. Daniel raised his brows.
Donald sat on the sofa with a glass of wine at his hand, feeling life quite boring, “I was wrong.”
Vincent asked, “What did you mean?”
“I thought Stella would invite many friends here, but I didn’t expect she would only invite them. She doesn’t give me
any space to show my charm.”
Vincent twitched his mouth, “Drop your bad ideas.”
Clarence glanced over them and then turned his head to look at Stella, “Why are they here?”
Hearing the question, Sherry took the opportunity to congratulate him, “Mr. Conrad, happy birthday.”
Clarence crossed his long legs and said in a flat tone, “I’m not happy.”
Stella secretly kicked him under the table, suggesting him not to be so indifferent.
Clarence spoke again, “Thank you. I’m not happy at all.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
But they were all clear of this wretched man’s personality and they’d been accustomed to it. Therefore, they didn’t
take Clarence’s words to their hearts and continued to enjoy the party.
Several minutes later, a waiter came in with a cake on the dolly.
It was time to blow out the candles.
Stella picked up the birthday cap, stood on tiptoes and prepared to put it on Clarence’s head. But Clarence took the
cap from her and put it on her head.
Stella asked, “Why did you put it on my head? It’s not my birthday.”
Clarence curled his lips into a smile, leaned forward and whispered into her ear, “It’s so silly, and you’re more
suitable to it.”
Stella instantly clenched her fists.
Winnie said, “It’s time to blow out the candles. Congratulations, Mr. Conrad, you’re a year older.”
With their congratulations, Clarence quickly blew out the candles.
