Chapter 121


    “Atishoo-”


    Ste kept sneezing today. She rubbed her nose, picked up a ss of water aside to take a sip.


    Sherry said with concerns, “Ste, the temperature is dropping recently. Put on more clothes. Don’t get


    sick.”


    Ste nodded, “Okay. Please go on.”


    “Where did I stop? Oh... I recalled it. Liam Keith has been fired by hispany. His scandals were


    spread everywhere, so nopany is willing to hire him now. Fortunately, I’ve moved to your ce. He


    kept waiting for me downstairs of my apartment. I asked the property manager to call the police.”


    “Sherry, you’d better hide from him recently. He has nothing now. It’s possible that he would be


    extreme.”


    “I know. Don’t worry.” Sherry took a bite on the cake and continued, “By the way, how’s going with Mr.


    Conrad and you?”


    Ste was choked up by the way how Sherry called rence.


    She said, “Could you please not be so flexible? You always called him the wretched man not long ago.”


    Sherry smiled dearly, “I must know how to appreciate my benefactor. Mr. Conrad has helped me a lot.


    How can I still have the heart to curse him at his back? Besides, I don’t think he was so wretched as


    we’ve imagined. He treats you not bad, Ste.”


    Ste kept silent.


    Sherry continued, “Take Vivian Sean for example. We have misunderstood him. He has done those


    things all for you. Don’t you feel quite touched? Besides, he...”


    Upon hearing her words, Ste had goosebumps all over her body. Hurriedly, she interrupted Sherry,


    “Stop it, Sherry! Please stop talking about him!”


    She couldn’t meet rence every day. Since the incident happened that night, she could asionally


    see him while having breakfast, but they didn’t talk.


    Ste was quite satisfied with their current status.


    Sherry said, “All right.”


    However, she changed to another subject, “Ste, what are you nning to do about the charity


    banquet tomorrow night? The host is the Jason family, so Horace will attend it. He’s engaged now.


    Would you feel awkward when meeting him?”


    “Nope. I’ve made it clear to him already.”


    She had told Horace what she thought clearly in the evening when they met in the Conrad’s Mansion.


    Horace wasn’t the fact that Ste was worried about.


    She was afraid that she might encounter some acquaintances in the charity banquet tomorrow evening.


    She was fine with others. Anyway, it was getting cold. As long as she put on more clothes, nobody


    would look at her belly deliberately.


    She was truly worried about Annie, the lunatic.


    Annie was the kind of woman that even nobody provoked her on the street, she would pounce at


    someone and bite him or her.


    Ste wasn’t afraid of Annie. It was just that once Annie had known that she was pregnant, the whole


    Conrad family would know it.


    However, Stanford had prepared it already. She must attend it.


    After arriving home, Ste didn’t go upstairs immediately. She heated a ss of milk and waited for


    rence when drinking it in the living room.


    rence didn’t show up until almost eleven o’clock at night.


    Ste stood up, “Good evening, Mr. Conrad.”


    rence looked at her calmly, “Do I know you?”


    Ste was choked up.


    The wretched man started being unreasonable again, didn’t he?


    She knew that he was mocking her for not speaking to him in the past few days. However, she wasn’t


    the only one with the mouth. He didn’t speak to her either, did he?


    She whispered, “I want to talk to you, Mr. Conrad.”


    rence strode over to the sofa and sat down. His thin lips parted slightly, uttering two cold words, “Go


    ahead.”


    Although his attitude was way too bad, Ste was asking him for help, so she had to be humble, “I’m


    going to attend a charity banquet tomorrow night. Annie Conrad should attend it as well. Hence, Mr.


    Conrad, could you please...”


    Before she finished her words, rence interrupted her, “Since you know you’ll meet Annie, why do


    you insist on going there?”


    Ste exined patiently, “I’ll attend it as the designer of SG Jewelry Magazine. It’s my job. I don’t have


    any reason to reject it.”


    “Do you have no reason to reject it or are you unwilling to reject it?” rence crossed his slender legs


    and said indifferently, “You must want to meet Horace Jason, don’t you?”


    Ste didn’t want to argue with him on this matter. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t listen. He


    would only judge based on his thoughts.

    She twitched her lips, “Well, sorry for interrupting you, Mr. Conrad. Please ignore my request.”


    After finishing her words, Ste directly turned around and went upstairs.


    rence gazed at her receding figure. He licked his lips but didn’t utter a word.


    He didn’t think it was appropriate for her to attend such an asion tomorrow.


    Back to her room, Ste was lost in thought for a long time. Then she realized that she couldn’t attend


    the charity banquet no matter what.


    Even if there was a possibility of one in ten thousand only that she would be found pregnant, she didn’t


    dare to bet on it.


    Ste pulled out her cell phone and texted Stanford, telling him that she couldn’t attend the banquet.


    Since she couldn’t attend it, her job would be transferred to Stanford.


    After transferring her jobs to Stanford, Stey on the bed, looking at the calendar on the nightstand.


    It had been a long after she came back to City N. The little fellow in her belly was growing up day by


    day.


    She would give birth in less than four months.


    Thinking of that, Ste became happier. She forgot about the wretched man and the argument with him


    tonight.


    ...


    The next day, Ste was quite idle, so she went to check on Channing.


    It was the weekend, and Channing wasn’t at school. When Ste found him, he was working part-time


    in the cafe opposite the university.


    Several girls were standing at the gate of the cafe. With blushed faces, they were excitedly discussing


    something. It seemed that they came here all for Channing.


    When Ste got closer, she heard what they were talking about.


    “I asked him for it yesterday but he didn’t give it to me. s... I’m too embarrassed to ask him for it


    again. Who would like to go?”


    “I won’t go. I heard that the most beautiful girl in our major asked him for the WeChat ID but he didn’t


    give it to her. How could he give it to me?”


    “Gosh! If he has a girlfriend, his girlfriend must feel quite secured. Jesus! How I wish I were his


    girlfriend!”


    “Oh,e on! Look at him. His girlfriend must be quite pretty as well.”


    “Yeah. I guess she must be better-looking than the most beautiful girl in our major.”


    Upon hearing their discussions, Ste curled up her lips into a smile. She pushed the door of the cafe


    open and walked in.


    In the cafe, customers were almost girls. From time to time, they looked over at the counter.


    The owner of the cafe patted Channing on his shoulder with a big smile, “Chan, you are truly my lucky


    start. Since you started working for me, our sales have be much higher. What would you like to


    have for lunch? It’s on me.”


    Channing was about to speak, and he saw Stee in. He refused politely, “No, but thanks for your


    kindness.”


    After that, he walked to Ste, “Ste, why are you here?”


    Ste said with a smile, “I’m here to check on you.”
