Chapter 219


    In the early morning of Saturday, Sherry dragged Ste out of the quilt and asked Ste to make up


    well.


    Ste was sitting in front of the window. The sunshine was so dazzling that she could hardly open her


    eyes.


    Sherry said, “It’s such a beautiful day today! Quite suitable for dating. I’ll also dress up and go out for


    fun.”


    Ste yawned. “It’s so early now. Where are you going?”


    “All schools are on winter vacation now. I’ll go around the colleges nearby and see if there’s any college


    student who needs a helping hand to carry his suitcase. If I could meet one, that would be perfect. It’s a


    rare chance.”


    Ste lost her tongue in amusement.


    After she straightened herself up, Emmett called.


    Sherry walked her downstairs. On the way back to their apartment for sleeping in, she encountered


    Daniel, who just finished jogging, while waiting for the elevator.


    They greeted each other and fell into the silence.


    When the elevator went up, the atmosphere in the narrow space became more and more


    embarrassing.


    Daniel coughed and found a topic at random. “Emmett said Ms. Radomil has gone to the annual party


    of Star Ferry Technology.”


    Sherry nodded. “Yeah. I just walked her downstairs.”


    Then they were quiet again.


    As soon as the elevator door was opened, Sherry strode out immediately. When she opened the door


    of her apartment, Daniel said behind her back, “I’m quite sorry for the thing that happenedst time. If


    you have time, I want to treat you for a dinner tonight.”


    After a pause, Sherry curled up her lips into a smile. She looked back and pretended to be quite calm


    when saying, “Only the two of us? I don’t think...” She didn’t think it was proper.


    “As well as Ms. Radomil’s younger brother.”


    Sherry coughed a bit. “That’s much better. All right.”


    Daniel nodded slightly. “Okay. See you this evening.”

    In the car.


    Emmett noticed that Ste had been staring out of the window, lost in thought. Her eyes were dull as if


    she was still sleepy.


    With a smile, he said, “Ste, you can take a nap. It’ll take us two hours to arrive there. I’ll wake you up


    when we got there.”


    Upon hearing it, Ste returned to her senses. She patted her cheeks, trying to sober up. “No, thanks.


    I’m not that sleepy. I’ll be fine soon.”


    Only Emmett and she were in the car, so she felt ashamed if she took a nap and let him drive such a


    long way alone. It was too inappropriate.


    Emmett suggested, “How about we have a chat?”


    Ste yawned. “Why not?”


    After a thought, Emmett said, “Ste, I’ve never heard you talking about your family. May I know more


    about your family, please?”


    Ste didn’t expect that he would chat with her about this subject. After a pause, she answered, “Sure.


    My younger brother and I are the only two left in our family. You’ve met my brotherst time.”


    “I met him beforest time.”


    “Did you? When?”


    Emmett said, “In the past, he asionally went to the university to find you. I met him from afar. At that


    time, you have another man beside you.”


    Ste smiled faintly, looking out of the window again. “It turns out so many years have passed.”


    After two hours, their car was stopped in the resort.


    All employees of Star Ferry Technology were taking a bus, so they would arrive hereter. They were


    still on the way right now.


    After parking the car, Emmett asked, “Ste, would you like to have a rest in the room or go around


    here?”


    Ste answered, “Let’s have a walk around here. The air here is quite fresh.”


    The suburbia’s air was indeed fresher than it was in the city. There were also no honks from the


    vehicles. Ste could only hear the sound of the breeze.


    Next to the hotel, there was an artificialke.


    Under the sunshine, the water in theke was sparkling.


    Such andscape could delight others.


    However, for some reason, Ste was in a daze. Particrly, when she saw a boat that was parked at


    the river bank, she couldn’t help but recall the time she spent in Anqiao Street.


    It was also a sunny day with a breeze. A boat swayed on the water. She leaned against a man’s


    shoulder, falling asleep. The whole world was quiet without any noises. All she had heard was the


    sound of the gurgling water.


    And she heard her heartbeat when it got hammered.


    Emmett followed her gaze and asked, “Would you like to go over there?”


    Ste was brought back to reality. “No, thanks. We can keep walking.”


    As soon as they turned around, they saw a group of people walking towards them from a bridge not far


    away.


    Seeing the man walking in lead, Ste was taken aback for several seconds. She subconsciously


    looked over at the boat parked at the riverbank. In a daze, she thought she had an illusion.


    How could this be possible?


    Soon, the group of people approached them closer and closer.


    However, probably rence hadn’t seen Emmett and Ste, or probably he pretended not to see them.


    Without sparing a single nce at them, he strode away with others.


    Ste was still lost in thought after he had gone for a long time.


    She had never expected that the man that appeared in her mind just now would show up in front of her


    the next second.


    For some reason, she felt a sense of guilt.


    Emmett said gently, “Ste?”


    Ste immediately came back to her senses. “I’m sorry. I...”


    “It’s alright. Let’s go back to the hotel.”


    Ste nodded slightly. “Okay.”


    When they went back to the hotel, all employees of Star Ferry Technology had arrived. They were


    chitchatting in groups.


    Seeing that Emmett came in with Ste, they all stopped chatting and looked at them from afar.


    After Emmett’s assistant reported their activities, Emmett lowered his head and checked the time on his


    watch. Then he said to his assistant, “Ask them to put down their belongings in their rooms. Let’s


    gather in half an hour and head to lunch.”


    “Okay, Mr. Carter.”


    Emmett took the room cards from his assistant and Ste’s belongings from his car trunk.


    After they left, the employees who had been exchanging sses started to discuss.


    “Is that Mr. Carter’s girlfriend? She’s so beautiful!”


    “I’ve never heard Mr. Carter has a girlfriend. Don’t gossip! What if she’s his cousin? I still want to dance


    the first dance with Mr. Carter tonight.”


    “Oh,e on! She should be his girlfriend. Who would have brought a cousin to such an asion?


    Stop deceiving yourself.”


    “Hey, didn’t you see Mr. Carter’s girlfriend looks quite familiar? I might have seen her somewhere.”


    “Yeah, she looks quite familiar to me as well. Is she a movie star?”


    “Stop your wild guess. I know who she is.”


    In an instant, everyone gazed at the person who spoke.


    “She’s a designer from SG Jewelry Magazine. She also won the first prize in some kind of designer


    contest. Her name is... What’s her name?”


    Someone echoed, “Ms. Radomil, isn’t it?”


    “Exactly! It’s she!”


    “But... isn’t there a rumor that Ms. Radomil is someone’s mistress?”
