Chapter 293


    But after that night, Jeffrey was nowhere to be found as if he had disappeared in the world. He didn’t


    contact Ste again, nor did hee to any underground gambling house.


    However, Ste was not anxious at all.


    She was clear of it the most that Jeffrey woulde to find her again when he was run out of the


    money.


    It was simply a matter of the time.


    After the working time, Ste stretched out her armszily and walked out of the office. It seemed like


    rence hade to the studio earlier and he was now sitting on a sofa and reading a document.


    Standing at the door of the office, Ste couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.


    Every time when she saw this scene, she would think that this wretched man was really good-looking,


    but unluckily, he had a sharp tone.


    It seemed like rence didn’t hear her footsteps. He was still reading the document with his head


    lowered.


    Seeing that he was so concentrative, Ste decided not to bother him. She went to the front desk to


    pack up her things.


    rence would go to pick her up during this period and they would have dinner together. Then he


    would send her back.


    At the beginning, Sherry would wait for her to get off the work together. But gradually, she chose to go


    home early and refused to see them showing their affection.


    Hearing the noise, rence looked up towards Ste, “Are you finished?”


    Ste nodded his head and picked up the key, “It’s finished. Let’s go.”


    After finishing the dinner, rence sent Ste back home. When Ste unbuckled the seatbelt and


    prepared to get off the car, rence sped her wrist and said in a displeased tone with his brows


    furrowed, “Can you not go back?”


    “Mr. Conrad, why do you make a fuss again?”


    Such a conversation urred every evening.


    rence replied, “I think this should not be the end of our rtionship. It’s time for us to be more


    intimate and we should go to the next step.”


    Ste, “…”


    She said sulkily, “You should be thankful since I didn’t deduct your points of impression. And you even


    want the next step?”


    This wretched man had an annoying sharp tone. Ste thought that other woman in this world would be


    able to withstand him except for herself.


    rence didn’t agree to it. He gently rubbed her soft lips with a trace of sexual desire in his eyes,


    “Then tell me, didn’t I serve you well? You want to deduct my points?”


    Even though Ste never expected any decentnguage from him, her face still uncontrobly got red


    when she heard the dirty joke.


    rence kept down his voice, “Hmm?


    “You…”


    rencended his gaze on her lips and said slowly, “I can only do these things because you don’t


    give me the chance to do other things.”


    Ste couldn’t bear it any longer, “Shut up!”


    rence curled his thin lips into a smile, pulled her neck towards himself andnded a kiss on her lips.


    He shut up now.


    The air in the car was thin and Ste felt breathless soon. She raised his arm and pushed his chest


    with dissatisfaction.


    rence let go of her and asked in a husky and charming voice, “Are you pleased?”


    Ste wanted to criticize him, but she was lost for words.


    rence said whilebing her hair, “Move out of the house in one week. Otherwise, I will move in.”


    “Don’t be so unreasonable.”


    “I’m unreasonable because of you.”


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    She closed the car door and left without turning around.


    His mind is always filled with dirty thoughts!


    When Ste went home, Sherry was lying on the sofa and watching a variety show. When seeing


    Ste, she said with a smile, “Ste,e to watch this with me. It’s so funny.”


    “I willeter. I want to have a shower first.”


    “All right, go.”


    Ste took a shower and semi-dried her hair. She then sat beside Sherry and hugged a cushion.


    After a while, she asked tentatively, “Sherry, do you want some fruit?”


    Sherry replied, “I’ve had dinner. Do you want some?”


    Ste smiled awkwardly, “No, thanks.”


    She asked after a short while of pause, “By the way, what do you want for the breakfast tomorrow. I will


    make it for you.”


    “What? I’m fine with everything. I will like it no matter what you make. It’s the happiest thing in my life to


    live with you.”


    Ste didn’t reply when she heard the words.


    Sherry ambiguously felt that something was wrong. She pressed the suspend lock of the remote


    control and turned to look at Ste, “Ste, what do you want to tell me?”


    “Haha, nothing. It’s just a causal question.” Ste then stood up, “I have to dry my hair further as it’s still


    moist. Go to bed early.”


    Sherry nodded her head, “Wait a minute. I want to go the toilet now.”


    “Go.”


    After Sherry walked into the toilet, Ste walked to the balcony for free air.


    That wretched man gave her a difficult task again.


    It was Sherry who apanied her when she just divorced rence. But now, she reconciled with


    rence and she had to abandon Sherry now. It was really unreasonable.


    But Ste was clear that rence was not joking. He would take action if she didn’t do as he required.


    Ste felt so bothered.


    When Ste came back to her bedroom, she received a call.


    She entrusted a person to investigate the manufacturer of the pocket watch before.


    The person told her that he had contacted a representative of the pocket watch manufacturer and they


    would meet tomorrow afternoon.


    After ending the call, Ste immediately received a message about the time and ce of the


    appointment as well as the phone number of that representative.


    Lying on the bed and looking out of the windows silently, Ste felt sleepless.

    She had a hunch that she would get some clues tomorrow.


    But it was a foreboding.


    It seemed like everything rted to the Steward family was negative.


    The problems before had gradually solved. After firing several C-level managers of the Steward Group,


    it seemed like they didn’t prepare to pursue the matters any more.


    As a matter of fact, they were all clear that those C-level managers didn’t have such a big power. And


    the problemy in the core managers of the Steward Group.


    Ste thought of Charles, a middle-aged man who looked gentle and cultivated.


    It was hard to associate him to an extremely violent and wicked evil-doer.


    But she could tell from the attitudes of the other members of the Conrad family that they didn’t show


    any respect to other people. In their eyes, they were just tools.


    Early in the next morning, on the way to the studio, Sherry said while scrolling her phone, “Ste, I


    have to tell you one thing.”


    Ste nodded her head, “What’s the matter?”


    Sherry replied, “I’ve been finding house recently and I will move out of the house if there’s an


    appropriate one for me.”


    Ste was stunned. She asked, “Why… why do you suddenly talk about this? Sherry, I…”


    Sherry smiled at her, “Rest assured. It’s not because of you. I bumped into Daniel in the lift yesterday.


    It’s quiet awkward. Since you’ve reconciled with that wretched…er… Mr. Conrad, you will move out of


    the house sooner orter. So I think we can take this opportunity and move out here together. Maybe


    we can still live in the samemunity.”


    Ste nodded her head when she heard the words, “That makes sense. Well, I will go to see the


    houses together with you this weekend.”
