Chapter 211
On the next day, in the Conrad Group…
Ste had been walking slowly ever since she entered the building. She didn’t want to go upstairs at all.
After a long while, the phone in her bag rang.
It was a call from Nathan.
But rence’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone when she picked up the call.
He said in an indifferent tone, “Are you only going upstairs after cleaning the floor tiles of the lobby?”
“…”
Florence lifted her head and looked around. Were there surveince cameras?
rence continued, “Hurry up. I have to attend a meetingter.”
“I see.”
Ste shifted her gaze and walked into the lift.
In the office, rence threw the phone back to Nathan, “Go to the door of the lift to pick her up. Don’t
let her run away.
Nathan, “…”
Why did he feel that it was like Ste was on the way to an execution ground?
Five minutester, Ste showed up in the office.
Leaning against the sofa with his slender legs crossed, rence clicked one of his knees gently,
looking indifferent and nonchnt.
Ste walked towards him and stood in front of him, “Mr. Conrad.”
“Take a seat.”
Ste moved her lips trying to say something. But in the end, she pressed her lips together and sat
opposite to him.
Nathan entered the office with two cups of coffee after a short while and left quietly.
Ste lowered her head. She took a nce at the tea table and said seriously, “Mr. Conrad, I will be
responsible for all the negative impacts on Winnie.”
rence picked up a cup of coffee. He took a sip and said in a t tone, “How will you be responsible?”
“I will try my best to be cooperative if you have any solution.”
“Ste Radomil, do you know why you create troubles frequently?”
Ste didn’t reply.
rence said in a calm voice, “It’s because you always like to take the responsibility for some matters
that have nothing to do with you.”
rence looked at him and replied calmly, “Chan is not an outsider for me. He’s my younger brother
and his trouble is also mine. But I don’t expect Mr. Conrad to understand it. After all, only human being
would have such an emotion.”
rence, “…”
He looked up and fixed his eyes on her, “Remember what you have said. You’ll be responsible until it’s
solved.”
“I will not go back on my words as long as your requests are within an appropriate and reasonable
range.”
rence put down the cup of coffee and curled his lips into a smile, “Great.”
Ste inexplicably had a feeling that she had fallen into a trap.
She stood up and said, “Then I will go back first. Mr. Conrad, if you have any problem, you can ask Mr.
Lance to contact me.”
rence said, “I have a problem now.”
“Please tell me.”
rence lifted his hand and took a nce at his wristwatch, “I have to attend a meeting now. Wait for
me in my office. You’re not allowed to leave before Ie back.”
“But…”
“It doesn’t matter if you want to leave. I never force others to do something against their wills.”
Ste was shocked.
Wouldn’t he felt ashamed when saying this?
rence slowly shifted his gaze onto her and said word by word, “The one who created this trouble
should be responsible for it.”
Ste closed her eyes and sat on the sofa again, “Mr. Conrad, I will wait for you here.”
rence asked slowly, “Why do I feel that you’re not that willing?”
Ste forced a smile. She gritted her teeth, “Mr. Conrad. It must be your illusion.”
“That’s good. Otherwise, someone will use me of pestering her again.”
“…”
Fuck off, you wretched man!
rence turned around and took a nce at Ste when he walked out of the office. Ste
immediately withdrew her gaze, looked at the ce in front of her and straightened her back.
He said, “There’s a lounge in my office. You can have a rest there if you feel sleepy.”
Ste ignored his words, pretending that she didn’t hear it.
When the door of the office was closed, she heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the sofa.
She looked dejected.
After a short while, she received a call from Winnie.
Winnie said, “I’m so busy today and I saw your missed call just now.”
Ste asked, “Is it solved?”
“Er… It’s a bit difficult to solve it. Although the discussion on this matter has been cooled down, it still
has some impact on my subsequent work.”
“Did it bring a big loss to the Conrad Group?”
“I’m not clear of it. But at present all of my work is suspended. Mr. Conrad asked me to go abroad for
voca… exactly, to keep myself away from this trouble. Of course it will bring loss to thepany when
my work is suspended.”
Ste nodded her head, “I see. Thank you for helping Channing.”
“You’re wee. Your brother is like my brother. How could I just stand by?”
“Then enjoy your holiday abroad. I will deal with this matter.”
Winnie asked in a low voice, “Did youe to Mr. Conrad?”
“I’m in his office.”
Winnie coughed and found an excuse, “All right, I have to board the n. Let’s chatter.”
“Okay.”
Ste stayed in the office during the whole day. An assistant sent her a lunch at noon, but she didn’t
eat it.
She was a clear attitude now – she was here to cooperate with them to solve the problem and she
would not have any entanglement with that wretched man again.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, rence finally came back from the meeting. He noticed that Ste
was still sitting on the sofa with the same posture.
He strode towards her, “Have you eaten anything?”
Ste replied in a t tone, “Mr. Conrad, do you have any solutions for this matter?”
rence pressed his eyebrows, “If you haven’t had anything, eat something together with me.”
“Mr. Conrad, if you haven’t figured out a solution, I cane here tomorrow.”
“What do you want to eat?”

Ste, “…”
They were talking about two topics!
rence picked up his suit jacket, “Let’s go to the restaurant.”
After a short while of silence, Ste couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Conrad, I think you should go to the
hospital to check your hearing.”
“Good idea. And you can check your conscience.”
Ste didn’t want to argue with him. She followed her out of thepany and then stopped, “Mr.
Conrad, I…”
rence looked askance at her and then tilted his head, “Get on the car first.”
Ste took a deep breath and got on the car.
rence hadn’t said anything after getting on the car. When Ste pondered that he was fooling her
again, he handed her a document, “Winnie’s personal image somehow represents the image of the
Conrad Group. So it’s a seriously negative scandal for both her career and the Conrad Group.”
Ste took the document from him and asked in a low voice, “Is it more serious than your regret of the
engagement?”
rence looked at her emotionlessly, “I’m not joking with you.”
Ste immediately became serious, “I’m sorry.”
rence continued, “There’s only one way to recover the damage at present.”
Ste leafed through the document and heard it carefully. rence didn’t deceive her. The document
showed that Winnie’s work had been suspended. Moreover, it also brought problems to several
projects of the Conrad Group.
She looked up at him and asked, “Mr. Conrad, what should I do?”
