Chapter 218


    In the evening, Ste received a call from Emmett.


    Emmett said, “Ste, Daniel said Chan has moved into his apartment. How’s everything going with


    you? My friend said Winnie Truman’s PR team is dealing with that matter, trying to reduce the impact to


    the lowest.”


    Ste answered, “Thanks, Emmett. I’m pretty well here. Nothing else happened. Chan moved in


    because he’s worried about me.”


    For a whole day, Nathan didn’t call her to follow up on the case. It seemed that she wasn’t needed any


    longer.


    After a while, Emmett said slowly, “Ste, do you have time this weekend? It’s ourpany’s annual


    party. We’re going to a resort nearby City N and stay there for two days and one night. I want you to go


    with me.”


    Ste thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Sure.”


    Emmett breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly his mood became better. “I’ll go pick you up on Saturday


    morning, then.”


    As soon as Ste hung up the phone, Sherry approached her. She asked joyfully, “How’s it going? Did


    Emmett ask you out for a date?”


    Upon hearing it, Channing who was next to them also looked over at Ste.


    Ste was speechless.


    Why did they react so dramatically?


    She answered, “It’s not a date. He asked me to attend hispany’s annual party with him.”


    “Isn’t it a date?” Sherry said while munching the potato chips, “You’ll be his date to attend such an


    asion. Besides, even you are not his girlfriend now, you have a certain rtionship already. It’s just


    a matter of time when you two would progress.”


    Ste pressed her lips and didn’t speak.


    Channing withdrew his gaze on his sister and kept browsing his book. “I’m not against it.”


    Sherry raised both hands to agree. “Me neither.”


    “I still feel a bit dizzy. I’ll go to bed now.”

    After going back to her room, Stey prone on the desk. Her fingers kept poking at the ornaments in


    front of her from time to time.


    In fact, Ste had thought about what Sherry said just when she agreed to Emmett.


    She was ready to restart her life, and also, she wanted to get to know more about Emmett.


    That was why she still agreed to him when she knew what it means by her agreement.


    Although it seemed quite difficult for her to take this step forward, no matter what, she needed a start.


    Ste heaved a sigh slightly. Opening her draft book, she looked at one page for a long time. Then she


    tore it into pieces bit by bit, folded the paper, tore it into pieces, and tossed them in the garbage can.


    She believed that should be an end.


    The next day, Ste received a call from the police station.


    They had found Bernice and her daughter. However, when they found them, Bernice was in aa


    because of a car ident, lying in the hospital now. Her daughter said that Bernice was manipted


    by someone, but she didn’t know anything else.


    The girl was still a high school student, and she was forced to do such things. Hence, Ste and


    Channing didn’t hold her ountable.


    Upon hearing the investigation result from the police, Sherry said, “I can sense there’s something


    wrong. How coincident she had a car ident! I don’t believe it wasn’t nned by someone.”


    Ste said indifferently, “The police also looked into the car that hit Bernice Young. Everything was


    normal. It was just because she ran across the street, she was hit.”


    “Well, on this point, it made sense. She’s a shameless and unreasonable woman. She could ignore the


    rules and regtions and run across the street. Probably it’s the karma.”


    Channing chimed in, “I don’t think this matter would end like this. Let’s be careful in the future.”


    After skipping this subject, Sherry asked again, “Ste, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Have you decided what


    to wear?”


    Ste was confused. “Should I pick up some clothes?”


    “Of course!” Sherry patted her own thighs. “On such an asion as the annual party, all girls would


    show their most beautiful makeup and outfits. Besides, Emmett is so young and outstanding. As their


    handsome and rich boss, there must be a lot of girls having crushes on him just like Gollum sees the


    precious ring. Although you are quite beautiful without dressing up, at this moment, you should be


    cautious and defend to thest.”


    As she spoke, Sherry pushed Ste into her room, started to choosing her outfits.


    However, Sherry couldn’t find satisfying ones at all. “They are not hot enough. Let’s go out shopping for


    more.”


    Ste immediately stopped her. “It’s all right. I like those dresses. Besides, it’s sote now. The stores


    are closed already.”


    Sherry sighed. “Okay. You can only make do with it. Fortunately, you are born beautiful. You’ll look


    stunning even if you were wearing a gunnysack.”


    Ste raised her brows. “I might note back until the evening after tomorrow. If you feel bored when


    staying home during the weekend, why don’t youe with me?”


    After thinking for the past two days, Ste still felt somewhat embarrassed to go there alone.


    However, she had said yes to Emmett, so she couldn’t go back on her words.


    “Are you kidding me? I don’t want to be the third wheel. Besides, I want to spend my weekend in the


    bar to see if I can meet any handsome young man. Don’t look down upon me. I might not be able to


    come home tomorrow evening either.”


    Ste choked up.


    Sherry yawned. “I’m going back to my room. You’d better go to bed early as well. Bet your beauty sleep


    and stun Emmett tomorrow!”


    Ste smiled. “I’m not a bulb.”


    “Although you are not, you are more stunning than a bulb.”


    “Stop it, Sherry. You’re too exaggerating!”


    After Sherry went to bed, Ste walked out of her own bedroom.


    In the living room, Channing was packing up his belongings.


    Ste poured a ss of water. “Chan, are you going back to next door?”


    Channing nodded. “Yeah. It’s quitete now.”


    “All right. Good night.”


    Channing walked to the door and then came back. Standing in front of Ste, he said after a hesitation,


    “Have you made up your mind?”


    Ste didn’t get him. Putting down the ss, she asked, “On what?”


    “Being with Emmett Carter.”


    After a few seconds, Ste said with a faint smile, “I haven’t decided to be with him yet. I just want to try


    to date him and see if we fit. If yes, probably I will. If not, we can...”


    Channing frowned slightly. “Do you have a crush on him?”


    Ste parted her lips. For a moment, she couldn’t answer.


    After a long while, she said, “Chan, a crush neveres easy. If two people fit, gradually they will also


    have feelings for each other.”


    “That kind of feeling is not love, is it?”


    Ste lowered her head. Pinching the ss tightly, she didn’t answer.


    Channing continued, “Although I hope you could meet someone who loves you wholeheartedly, I hope


    more that you could be with someone you love. He doesn’t have to be Emmett Carter.”


    “Chan...”


    Channing asked again, “Do you still love rence Conrad.”


    Ste answered slowly, “It’s getting quitete. Go to bed.”
