At this time, most of the restaurants had closed down, so they chose a sidewalk snack booth.
It was a clean booth with delicious food. Earlier, Sherry had always come over to dine with the employees of their
studio, so the booth owner was quite familiar with her.
After making orders, Stella found her phone was ringing. She checked the caller ID, only to discover that it was
Clarence.
Stella stood up, walked aside, and swiped to answer the call, “Hello?”
Right then, a car roared past the booth on the street.
Clarence paused a bit on the other end of the line and asked, “Aren’t you home?”
“Chan and Winnie are filming a program today. We waited for them and planned to have dinner together.”
“Have you finished yet?”
Clarence added, “Give me the address.”
Stella asked, “Have you knocked off?”
Clarence said, “Yeah. I’ll go pick you up.”
Stella curled up her lips and said, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, she sent the location to Clarence and walked back to her seat.
Stella looked at Elaine, who couldn’t help yawning, and asked, “Sherry, how long will it take Winnie and Chan to
arrive?”
“I just called them. They’ll be here in ten minutes. When the dishes are served, they should be here.”
Stella nodded. Then she said to Elaine, “If you are too sleepy, go ahead to nap in my car. I’ll bring you some food
later.’
Elaine rubbed her eyes, “No, thanks, Stella. I’ll be better while eating.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSherry smiled and said, “I do envy you for getting asleep easily. I used to be like you before. As soon as I closed my
eyes, I could fall asleep.”
Elaine asked in confusion, “Aren’t we supposed to sleep as soon as closing our eyes? Why can’t you sleep?”
“When you are older, you’ll know what insomnia is.”
Elaine was relatively young. With her current sleep quality, Sherry didn’t think she would understand what insomnia
was.
Sherry looked at Stella, “Who has just called you, Stella? Mr. Conrad?”
“Yeah. He’ll come here later.”
“Mr. Conrad is always busy. When will he have a break?”
Stella was silent for a moment. Then she curled up her lips into a faint smile and said, “Probably soon.”
After ten minutes or so, Winnie and Channing arrived. The barbecued dishes they had ordered were served as well.
Sherry looked over at Winnie and said, “Why were you arranged to shoot the same program with Flora?”
Winnie raised her eyebrows, “Probably I’ve done a lot of wrong things.”
“That’s too ridiculous. Why did the program team hire her? All through the filming, she didn’t do anything. Wouldn’t
she be scolded when the show is on?”
“I heard she was hired to save the viewing rate of the program. They would put more sense of hers during post-
editing. Besides, she’s smart. She knows when to appear on the camera. She didn’t do anything, but she had
enough filming.”
“No wonder. She has a lot of negative news, but her fans still keep defending her and try to whitewash her,” said
Sherry. She added, “Did she make trouble to you?”
Recalling the few minutes before filming, Winnie subconsciously looked over at Channing, who opened a can before
putting it in front of her. He met her gaze.
Winnie immediately withdrew her gaze and said thoughtfully, “Nothing serious. Her tricks don’t work on me.”
Winnie kept chatting with Sherry. After putting a tin of drink in front of Winnie, Channing opened other cans and put
them in front of Stella, Sherry, and Elaine.
Elaine took it over and blushed slightly, “Thank you,” she said.
Stella asked, “How long will this filming last?”
“Till the end of this month,” answered Channing.
“After this show, will your company assign you with other jobs?”
Channing nodded and answered, “Yes.”
When Stella was about to speak something, a black minivan parked next to them.
Flora got down from the minivan a few seconds later.
Looking at Winnie, she held her arms and curled up her lips, “Your friends have been waiting for you for such a long
time. How can you invite them to eat these things? If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to do it.”
As she spoke, she pulled out a business card from her purse and continued, “Well, my friend has opened a
restaurant nearby. Take this and tell them I ask you to go there. This dinner is on me. After all, we’ve been working
in the entertainment business for so many years. We are old friends.”
Winnie was expressionless. She said indifferently, “I don’t remember when we’ve become friends.”
Flora wasn’t angry. Instead, she covered her lips and smiled, “How can you still remember the thing that happened
so many years ago. I’m a person with integrity. I hate those women who destroyed others’ families. That’s why I
was quite excited back then. I understand why you have made such a choice. We work so hard just for money,
don’t we? The shortcut is always good. However, you should have the luck to enjoy it, right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had thought that she would disgrace Winnie in front of her friends and Channing. However, they all lowered
their head and enjoyed the barbecue, ignoring her.
Flora put away her smile. Looking at Winnie, she continued, “I’ve said that out of my kindness. You can be so
arrogant just because Mr. Conrad always likes you, isn’t it? Mr. and Mrs. Conrad are getting well right now. How
could he have any chance to fool around with you? You’d better give up as early as you can. Don’t always destroy
others’ families.”
Channing frowned slightly. When he was about to stand up, Winnie pressed his arm.
Stella raised her head, looking over at Flora, “Do you know you should take the legal responsibility when speaking?”
Flora snorted, “I didn’t create those rumours out of nothing. All people in the entertainment business know she gets
popular because Conrad Group is her backer. Why didn’t Conrad Group make others but only her popular? It’s
because she’s good at tricks. She was the most famous one among so many stars and models in the Conrad Group.
Isn’t she Mr. Conrad’s favourite one?”
Sherry chimed in, “Then, according to your logic, Mr. Conrad has done the right thing. He needs to make an actress
popular by spending money, so he must choose a beautiful, capable, and hard-working one. Of course, he wouldn’t
support an ugly, mean, and jealous bitch like you.”
Flora instantly looked annoyed, “Who do you think you are speaking to?”
“You know who I’m speaking to. If you still haven’t heard it enough, I can repeat it. Jealous bitch, jealous bitch,
jealous bitch!”
Elaine watched the scene and saw Sherry was so brave, so she also didn’t want to be defeated. Obviously, she
hadn’t cursed others in this way. She followed Sherry and stammered, “Jealous... Jealous bitch!”
Flora was so furious. She cursed aloud, “You lunatics! Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. Just wait and
see, Winnie Truman. I heard Mrs. Conrad is a tough nut to crack. If she knew you have hooked up with Mr. Conrad,
you would be so doomed!”
