Chapter 316
At noon, Ste finished her work and stretched. She heard her phone ringing.

When she wiped to answer, she heard the man’s deep voice. “Still busy?”
Ste checked the time. “Another half an hour.”
She had to arrange the tasks before leaving the studio.
rence said, “All right.”
After hanging up the phone, Ste walked out of the office.
Her studio wasn’t big but there were a lot of trifles.
Sherry was in charge of them, and Ste only needed to take care of the design drafts.
After she had done, an hour passed.
When she trotted her belongings out of the studio, she saw the Rolls-Royce parked in front.
Ste pulled the door open and sat in. While fastening the seat belt, she said, “Nailed it. Let’s go.”
“Shall we have lunch first?”
“Okay... Wait. Let’s go home first. I haven’t taken the food I madest night.”
rence slightly tilted his head. “Look back.”
Ste looked back, only to find the food he made was packed in the lunch boxes neatly.
She curled up her lips into a smile. However, after a few seconds, she started worrying about the food’s
freshness.
rence looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
With a wry smile, Ste didn’t have the heart to give him a blow. “It’s alright. Let’s go for lunch first.
Where are we going after lunch?”
“You’ll know when we arrive.”
The car started moving slowly. It wasn’t until then did Ste find that rence wasn’t wearing a suit
today. Instead, he was in neat street clothing. He didn’t look as cold as usual but quite rxed.
Noticing her gaze on him, rence turned around to look at her, his eyes full of amusement. “I see how
you are staring at me. Do you want to eat food or me for lunch?”
Ste was silent.
She wished that the wretched man could shut up.
As long as he spoke, he flirted with her.
They found a restaurant at random nearby. After lunch, Ste checked the time -- it was already past
three in the afternoon.
If they wouldn’t speed up, it would be evening soon.
Out of the restaurant, Ste noticed that the wretched man was walking too slowly. She directly
dragged him forward. “Hurry up!”
The man slightly raised his eyebrows. “Why are you rushing?”
“I want to go home to get some sleep as early as possible.”
rence held her hand back and strode forward, fastening his pace.
Half an hourter, the car was parked at the gate of a huge club.
It seemed that rence was a patron here. He directly took her in without any pause.
Ste followed him, looking around, only to find it was an extremely huge ce. It at least upied a
few thousand square meters.
rence asked, “Do you want to y the golf first or go horse-riding first?”
Ste didn’t answer.
When thinking of what happened in the resort before, Ste wanted to choose neither.
She noticed that there was a huge map on the wall next to them, so she released rence’s hand and
walked over. She found that besides a golf course and a horse ranch, there was a shooting area, a
rock climbing field, and even a racetrack.
Sure enough, it was a ce for the rich to burn money.
Ste looked over at rence. “Can I choose other options? I want to go rock climbing. It’s more
exciting.”
The man put his hand in the trousers pocket and said calmly, “Those two options are what I can y
only.”
Ste curled her lips. Ignoring him, she directly headed to the rock climbing field. “It’s a huge ce. I’m
sure there are instructors. I can find one of them to teach me.”
rence licked his thin lips. “The instructors here are all male. Aren’t you afraid that they would take
advantage of you?”
But, rence’s purpose to take advantage of her was more obvious, wasn’t it?
As long as Ste recalled that the wretched man aboveboard took advantage of her when teaching her
y golf, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
That was why she had no interest in this game.
However, much to Ste’s surprise, as soon as she arrived at the rock climbing field, she saw a familiar
figure.
Well...
Sure enough, it was a ce for the rich to gather.
She started to regret it for her impulse actions.
Phoebe unbuckled the safety rope on her waist. When she turned around to wipe her sweat, she was
face to face with Ste.
She snorted coldly, tossing away the towel in her hand. “Everyone cane to this ce now.”
Her friends heard herint and followed her gaze. When they saw Ste, they looked tentative
and disdainful.
Right then, rence stood behind Ste, looking quite cold and expressionless.
Those people withdrew their gazes immediately.
An instructor next to them asked, “Ms. Steward, would you like to try again?”
Phoebe answered in a cold tone, “Nope. I’m trying again. My interest has been ruined.”
As she spoke, she picked up her belongings and left.
Her friends immediately followed her.
After they were gone, rence asked calmly, “Is this the excitement you are looking for?”
Ste gritted her teeth. “Shut up!”
How would she know she could be so lucky to meet Phoebe here?
Moreover, the wretched man mocked her.
With a smile, rence asked, “Are you still trying?”
“Of course! Why not?”
If she changed her mind, it would seem that she was frightened.
As soon as Ste walked over, an instructor brought them two sets of rock climbing tools. “Good day,
Mr. Conrad.”
rence only took one sent and sent the instructor away.
When he was helping Ste wear the protective clothing, thetter looked at him in confusion. “Didn’t
you said that you don’t know how to do it?”
“Depends on whom I’m speaking to.”
The wretched man could always chop logic.
After everything was ready, rence told her how to climb up and how to use her strength. Then he
took a step back and said, “You may start now.”
Ste exhaled deeply. She stepped on a protruding stone and grabbed one with her hand.
She started trying to climb up.
After she climbed up to two or three meters, she felt her legs trembling.
When she was wondering if she should climb down, she heard the wretched man chatting with the
instructor who returned. He asked indifferently, “How high did Phoebe Steward climb to just now?”
The instructor didn’t understand what he meant, since rence brought a woman here but was asking
about another woman. He let out a hollowugh and answered, “Ms. Steward might have climbed to
ten meters.”
“I see.”
rence stopped speaking
Upon hearing it, Ste gritted her teeth tightly and kept moving up.
After all, this was the first time for her to do rock climbing and she couldn’t handle the strength and
skills well. She could only move up another meter before stopping again.
She looked down and found that she had been quite distant from the ground.
The instructor who was chatting with rence had left again.
The wretched man with a faint smile was the only one left in the scene.
It seemed as if he was waiting for her to beg to save her.
Ste couldn’t do it. She clung to the wall, panting without moving.
Shortly after, rence asked, “Are youing down?”
Ste answered stubbornly, “No, thanks. The view is quite good up here.”
“Do you n to stay there for the whole afternoon?”
Ste was silent for a moment. She decided to retreat one step to make things easier. “How can I climb
down?”
