Chapter 306


    Although Ste asked rence to keep silent, it was Emmett who quieted down.


    Since the atmosphere was way too embarrassing, Ste felt quite uneasy. rence, who was next to


    her, was quite calm, easy, and peaceful.


    Ste wished that she could be as cheeky as him so that she wouldn’t be feeling like sitting on a spiked


    rug.


    Right then, a waiter came over to take the order. Emmett directly passed the menu to Ste. “Ste,


    please order whatever you like.”


    As soon as Ste reached out her hand, the menu was grabbed by rence. He ordered some of


    Ste’s favorite dishes and returned to be aloof, sitting on his chair in silence.


    Ste had a wry smile. “That’s all for the time being.”


    The waiter nodded and left.


    Since rence was sitting at the table, Emmett couldn’t talk about other things naturally. He just


    chitchatted with Ste and then quieted down.


    The meal finally approached the end in such an embarrassing atmosphere.


    When Ste went to the restroom, rence said, “Mr. Carter, if not mistaken, you shoulde here for


    what happened on the Steward Group’s bidding.”


    Upon hearing it, Emmett faintly smiled. “Mr. Conrad, you misunderstood. I even didn’t go to the bidding


    of Steward Group. How would I know what happened there? I just came to visit Ste.”


    “In that case, I believe I should make time to visit your parents then, Mr. Carter.”


    Emmett gradually pulled a long face when listening to him.


    rence continued indifferently, “Mr. Carter, I don’t care why you came here or what you are going to


    do. Don’t drag Ste into the mere.”


    “Mr. Conrad, please rest assured. Even if you don’t remind me, I wouldn’t do anything to harm Ste.”


    When Ste came out of thedies’ room, Emmett was already gone. She immediately knew that


    rence must have said something harsh to him.


    She walked to rence and picked up her bag. “Let’s go.”


    rence raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, and left with her.


    When the car was pulled over the downstairs of the apartment, Ste touched the handle on the door,


    only to find the door next to the driver’s seat was open. rence got off the car.


    Ste was speechless.


    She wondered what the wretched man would do.


    She got off and closed the door. rence walked with her side-by-side and paused. “I didn’t have


    enough just now. Made me something to eat, would you?”


    Ste said crossly, “Mr. Conrad, didn’t you say you had the luck to enjoy a feast? Howe you didn’t


    have enough? Do you know what kind of person couldn’t have enough when being invited to a meal?”


    rence curled up his lips. Without answering her, he bypassed her and walked forward. “Hurry up. I’m


    starved.”


    Ste believed that the wretched man intentionally found the excuse.


    After arriving at him, she asked, “Mr. Conrad, what would you like to eat?”


    “Anything would be fine.”


    Ste snorted and didn’t want to expose his lie.


    The wretched man was always picky in food. She didn’t believe that anything could do.


    Sure enough, he came upstairs with other intentions.


    Since it waste, Ste didn’t want to cook the set meal of three dishes with one soup for him. There


    were only two tomatoes left in the fridge, so she cooked the noodle soup of fried tomato with egg for


    him.


    While she was cooking the noodles, she heard a few knocks on the door of her apartment.


    Ste tilted her head and looked over at the door. Right then, her hands were full.


    Soon, she heard rence’s voice. “Keep on cooking. I’ll open the door.”


    “All right.”


    She withdrew her gaze.


    rence opened the door. Looking at the man at the door, he wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, he curled


    up his lips into a sneer. “What’s up?”


    Daniel hadn’t expected that rence would be here. After being startled for a few seconds, he came


    back to his senses. “Is Ms. Radomil home?”


    rence looked back and answered indifferently, “She’s busy.”


    “All right. I’lle backter then.”


    When Daniel was about to leave, rence said, “For whom you came here, Phoebe Steward or


    anyone else?”


    Upon hearing it, Daniel paused a bit. He turned around with a slight smile. “Mr. Conrad, you’ve


    overthought. I just want to borrow a bottle of soy sauce from Ms. Radomil...”


    rence asked calmly, “Really?”


    “Of course. A distant rtive is not as good as a near neighbor. Mr. Conrad, don’t you think so?”


    Right then, Ste finally put the noodles into the pot. She overheard their conversation, so she came


    out of the kitchen with a bottle of soy sauce in her hand. She handed it over to Daniel. “This is the only


    brand in our home. Does it work?”


    “Haha... Yes. I’ll return it to you as soon as I finish using it, Ms. Radomil. Thanks a lot.”


    Ste smiled. “It’s alright. I don’t need it for the time being. You can return it whenever you like.”

    Daniel coughed and nodded at rence. Then he left with the bottle of soy sauce.


    After closing the door, Ste heard the boiling sound of the water in the kitchen, so she trotted back to


    the kitchen again.


    rence followed her, walking steadily.


    The noodle soup was soon cooked. Ste put the bowl on the dining table. “It’s ready. Mr. Conrad, you


    can eat now.”


    rence pulled the chair and sat down. “Don’t you eat some?”


    “No, thanks. I was full just now.”


    While rence was eating, Ste cleaned up the kitchen. She checked the time -- it was almost eleven


    in the evening. She wondered why Sherry hadn’te home yet.


    She walked to the living room, pulled out her cell phone, and called Sherry.


    The call wasn’t connected until she heard the beeps for a long time.


    Sherry asked, “Hello, Ste, what’s up?”


    “Have you found a suitable apartment?”


    “Yes, I have. I’ll move in this weekend.”


    “When are youing home?”


    Sherry paused a bit. Then she grinned. “I won’t go home tonight. Wish you a pleasant night, Ste.”


    Ste choked up.


    She wondered what Sherry meant.


    After turning around to cast a nce at the man in the dining room, Ste walked to the balcony. She


    whispered, “Has rence Conrad threatened you?”


    “What... not at all.” Sherryy in a twenty-meter wide bathtub, picking up the goblet next to her to take a


    sip of the wine. “Ste, how can you misunderstand Mr. Conrad? He’s a super nice man, the role model


    of the business world. He’s handsome, making countless girls fascinated. Besides that, he was a


    walking Buddha. He doesn’t only enjoy doing charity a lot but also caring about environmental


    protection. The most important is he cares about the poverty and the weak, getting along with...”


    Ste fell into the silence when listening to Sherry’s ttery on rence. She asked, “What benefits did


    rence Conrad promise you?”


    Sherry remained calm and answered, “Ste, you’ve been so vulgar. What I said showed my respect


    andpliment to Mr. Conrad. Howe you asked about the benefits?”


    As she spoke, she whispered quickly, “He just provides me the right to ess the seven-star luxury


    suite. I cane over at any time.”


    Ste’s temples popped.


    Before she could continue asking Sherry anything else, she was hugged by someone from behind. The


    man’s warm breath was sprayed on her neck, making her sensitive and trembling. She couldn’t help


    but pinch the cell phone in her hand tightly. Her lips parted but she couldn’t utter any


    beep.
