Chapter 272


    After taking a nap, Ste felt dizzier.


    She patted her on the forehead, put on clothes, and got off the bed.


    In the living room, Sherry was ready to leave, “Ste, do you want to eat something first? Or shall we


    go out for lunch directly?”


    Ste answered, “I want to eat something spicy. After we’ve seen the movie, let’s go for hotpot, shall


    we?”


    “Sure! I happen to long for the hotpot as well.”


    “Wait for me, Sherry. I’ll be ready after washing my face.”


    When they arrived at the cinema, it was way too crowded there.


    After getting the ticket from the machine, Ste saw Sherry holding three bottles of coke, “Why did you


    buy three bottles? Didn’t Chan say that he wouldn’te?”


    Sherry grinned, “I’m a bit thirsty. One bottle might not be enough.”


    “If you drink too much coke, you might not be able to eat the hotpotter.”


    “No worries. There are still a few hours before having lunch. Besides, I’ll be OK after going to the


    bathroom.” Sherry checked the time, “Let’s go in. The movie is about to start.”


    Ste nodded in agreement, “Okay.”


    After arriving in the screening room, before Ste sat down, Sherry dragged her to stand up, “Well...


    Ste, the person in front of me is way too tall. I can’t see the screen now. Can you sit here please? I’ll


    sit inside.”


    “Sure.”


    After Ste sat down, she looked around, only to find the whole screening room was fully upied


    except the empty seat on her right-hand side. It was indeed crowded.


    Shortly after, the lights in the room were dimmed. Commercials and previous other movies started to be


    yed on the screen.


    Soon, the movie started.


    After taking a sip of coke, Ste put the bottle on the armrest. When she withdrew her hand, she


    identally touched something.


    Someone was sitting on the empty seat next to her.


    Ste subconsciously looked up and then stiffed.


    rence met her gaze. He said indifferently, “Why are you looking at me? Watch the movie.’


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Ste didn’t utter a beep.


    She withdrew her gaze awkwardly and looked over at Sherry.


    No wonder she always felt that Sherry behaved so strangely today.


    It seemed that she had nned something.


    As if she had sensed Ste’s gaze, Sherry didn’t dare to look into her eyes. She could only pick up her


    bottle and pretended to take a sip, trying to skip.


    Ste inhaled slightly and looked back at the screen in front.


    She decided to let Sherry go.


    Anyway, the wretched man didn’t overdo anything. Ste decided to take him as a stranger and


    continue to see the movie.


    Two hours passed pretty soon. After the movie ended, the audience started to leave the room.


    Sherry covered her tummy, “Ste, I need to go to the restroom now. I’ll wait for you outside...”


    With the excuse, she wanted to escape but Ste pulled her to stop.


    Ste faintly smiled and said, “I also want to use the restroom. Let’s go together.”


    rence still remained seated, crossing his slender fingers together, “If you go out now, you need to


    wait in a line for at least ten minutes.”


    Ste said, “We can go to the shopping mall instead. Mr. Conrad, if you...” She wanted to send him


    away.


    Before she had finished her words, rence stood up, “Follow me.”


    ...


    Out of the restroom, Sherry said while washing hands, “I didn’t expect Conrad Group also runs movie


    theaters. I’m curious if there’s any business that Conrad Group didn’t cover.”


    Ste said, “Conrad Group always has business in the entertainment business, so it’s not surprising


    that it has movie theaters. However, I’m quite surprised about one thing.”


    Sherry echoed, “What is it?”


    Ste pulled a piece of tissue to wipe her hands. She turned to look at Sherry, “Why is rence


    Conrad here?”


    “Haha...” Sherry might not expect that suddenly Ste would ask her such a question, she let out a


    hollowugh. Then she pped and said, “I got it! It must be fate. How wonderful your fate is! In such a


    huge city that there are so many movie theaters with numerous screening rooms, he sat next to you


    among so many seats. This is God’s n!”


    Ste stared at her in silence, wondering what kind of stories she could make.


    Sherry rubbed her nose, feeling a sense of guilt, “All right. I just feel it’s not polite if I do nothing after


    having such an abundant breakfast bought by him. Hence... I decided to invite him to see the movie.


    One should return as good as one receives, right?”


    Ste was speechless.


    Sherry could always make excuses, which almost made Ste believe.


    However, what Sherry had one was exactly the same when she tried to bring her together with Emmett,


    so Ste could understand what she wanted.


    She was just surprised that suddenly Sherry started to bring her together with rence.


    It was so unexpected, unbelievable, and uneptable for Ste.


    Sherry felt quite awkward under her gaze. She coughed a bit, “By the way, we should thank Mr.


    Conrad. If he hadn’t brought us here, we would be still waiting in the line.”


    As she spoke, she said, “It’s so wonderful to be rich!”


    Ste raised her hand to rub between her eyebrows, “Let’s go.”


    In the corridor, the manager of the cinema heard that rence was there, so he rushed over to greet


    rence.


    As they spoke, rence saw Stee out of thedies’ from the corner of his eyes. He said


    indifferently to the manager, “I’m busy with something else. I’ve gotta go now.”


    The manager said, “Okay, Mr. Conrad. Have a great one.”


    rence walked to Ste, “Where are we going now?”


    Sherry answered, “We n to have...”


    Ste immediately interrupted her, “We’re going nowhere. It’s almost time to go home. Mr. Conrad,


    bye.”


    As she spoke, she dragged Sherry and trotted away.


    rence was speechless.


    Squinting with a threatening look, he said inwardly, ‘Ste, you can run away from me. No matter how


    fast you are running, you can never escape from me.’


    After leaving the movie theater, it was lunchtime.


    There were a lot of people waiting in lines in front of all the different hotpot restaurants.


    Fortunately, Sherry reserved a table ahead, so they entered directly.


    Sherry looked at the menu and asked, “Have you called Chan?”


    Ste said, “I sent him a message before leaving home. He said he would have lunch with his


    ssmates. Just ignore him.”


    Sherry heaved a sigh, “Chan is truly grown up. He has secrets that he can’t tell us.”


    Upon hearing it, Ste pressed her lips and didn’t answer.


    In fact, if Chan wasn’t doing anything else, Ste wouldn’t mind his business.


    However, right now, Chan wasn’t willing to tell her anything at all. If she kept asking him, he might feel


    bothered.


    Hence, Ste decided to let it be for the time being.


    Right then, a waiter came over and asked, “Excuse me, table for two, right?”


    “Yes...”


    “No, three.”


    They heard a man’s indifferent voice from behind.


    Ste choked up.


    She didn’t expect that the wretched man followed them here.


    rence sat down next to her. He calmed took over the menus handed over by the waiter.
