Chapter 2252 Stella remained silent. Once outside, she conferred with Keegan about giving Maria a raise.
Not long after Keegan and Aurora departed, Larry arrived to pick her up. Shortly after leaving the villa area, Stella suddenly spotted a familiar figure swaying by the roadside. As the car drew closer, she realized it was Wren Adkin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe promptly asked Larry to stop the car, rolled down the window, and called out, "Wren!" The person turned around, looking surprised. "Ms. Hall, what brings you here?" "I live nearby," Stella replied. "But what about you? What brings you here?" Apart from the villa area, there were hardly any houses nearby, just cars on the road, with few people in sight.
"My house is close by," Wren said.
Stella was surprised. "You live around here?" Wren nervously responded, "Yes, I overslept today and couldn't catch a cab. N Stella didn't say anything, she glanced at Wren for a moment before saying, "Get in the car, we'll talk inside." Wren breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her, and hurriedly ran to the other side to open the car door and get in. Once inside the car, she noticed there was not only Stella and the driver but also an ordinary-looking young man. Stella introduced, "This is Samuel Herston, my personal assistant." Wren greeted him, fastened her seatbelt, and sat nervously next to Stella with her backpack.
As the car began moving, Stella continued questioning Wren, "You live nearby, but it's quite a distance from the company. Isn't the commute timeconsuming?" Wren awkwardly replied, "My grandma was sick, so we sold our house, and the rent near the company is too high. So, I rented a place farther away. Usually, I can catch the bus, but last night... something unexpected happened, and I overslept. Fortunately, I ran into you." Stella didn't press further.
Rent around here was cheap because the buildings were scheduled for demolition, with hardly any facilities nearby. In fact, it wasn't suitable for living.
She felt Wren wasn't telling the whole truth, but she didn't push further.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWren was quiet, seldom initiating conversation. When they arrived at the company, she thanked them and left.
Stella thought it was just a coincidence, but at lunchtit lunchtWren fromther sat across from her with a plate, casually greeting her, "Ms. Hall, may I sit here?" Stella glanced at her and nodded.
Wren sat down, and the group at the adjacent table, including Jaylene, turned their heads toward them, their expressions somewhat puzzled.
Ever since Stella secured Grace Allock, a major client, from Darcie, Darcie had shown\public affection toward her but tried to undermine her behind the scenes.
Despite having fewer shares, Darcie still wielded significant power in the company. Even those inclined to take sides wouldn't dare at this time. Wren was timid and didn't want to offend anyone. Returning the money before was a clear stance. So, why was she getting close to her now?
