Chapter 397
rence must have been affected by this matter. However, he managed to reduce the impact to the
minimumst night and even turned the tables overnight. Now Dempsey could not use the matter
rted to the Young Designers’ Contest to suppress him again.
However, the ill fame would still be there if they didn’t rify this matter.
After leaving thew firm, Ste directly went to the Conrad Group.
When she arrived there, rence just finished a meeting. The whole building was shrouded in
gloominess and all the staffs were holding their breath.
Failing to find Nathan, Ste directly walked to the CEO’s office. She reached out and gently knocked
at the door.
rence was reading documents in front of the office desk. Ste didn’t know whether he had heard
the knocking or nor.
Ste walked into the office lightly, cleared her throat and said in a righteously tone, “Mr. Conrad, would
you like a cup of coffee?”
rence replied in a cold voice without even lifting his head, “Don’t you know?”
“Then should I prepare dinner for you?”
rence was a bit stunned when he heard the words and slowly lifted his head. When seeing Ste,
the coldness in his ck eyes was gradually reced by warmth, “When did youe?”
“I just arrived here.” Ste sat opposite to him and asked, “So do you n to drink coffee in ce of
meal again?”
rence lowered his head, quickly signed his name on the document and replied with a nasal sound.
He then added, “It’s so boring to eat alone.”
Ste couldn’t help but ask, “They why didn’t you recognize my voice when I asked you whether you
would like a cup of coffee and recognized my voice when I asked you about the dinner?”
rence replied in a t tone, “I hired my assistants with high sries. Generally they won’t ask me
two silly questions in concession.”
Ste, “…”
Damn you, wretched man!
rence said, “Wait for several minutes.”
“Okay.”
Then there were only sounds of leafing through documents and the stroking sounds of the pen in the
room.
Ste felt it a bit boring and began to y with the disy on the desk.
When she was enjoying it, she suddenly noticed a photo on frame on the desk with her mouth corners.
“…”
Inside the photo frame was the photo they took in the Yue Lao Temple.
That wretched man gave her an ugly photo frame and changed a good-looking one for himself.
Humph!
Ten minutester, rence finally put down the documents and lifted his head, “Let’s go.”
Ste was a bit confused when she heard the words, “Where are we going?”
“Don’t you want to have dinner with me?”
Ste pouted, “I’m not here to have dinner with you.”
rence asked her with a nasal sound.
Ste opened her bag and took out the document, “Charles gave this to me. I came to Donald and
asked him to examine it for me, and he told me it had no problem. But as I’m living in the Steward
family now, it’s inconvenient for me to keep this document.”
rence curled his lips into a smile, “So you want me to keep it?”
Ste replied with a serious tone, “Nope. I n to open a safe box in the bank.”
“Is it safer than being kept by me?”
Ste was not in a mood to talk rubbish with him. She put the document on the desk and pushed it
towards rence, “Please keep it for me. I still have no idea about how to use it temporarily. Or you
may use it if it’s useful to you.”
rencended his gaze on the document and then looked towards Ste with surging emotions in his
eyes, “Is there such a good thing?”
His gaze was direct and burning and Ste didn’t dare to look into his eyes. She looked askance and
coughed, “After all… after all… You want to fight against the Conrad family and it also has been my
wish. Just regard it as my contribution.”
rence chuckled when he heard the words, “Well, since you’ve said these words, I will receive it.”
rence put the document into a drawer and locked the drawer. He then raised his brows, “Can we go
out for dinner now?”
Ste suddenly said after a short while of silence, “I want to visit Ms. Anderson.”
rence was not surprised by her answer. He picked up his jacket and stood up, “Let’s go.”
At the beginning, Ste thought that rence meant to go out for dinner.
Although she told him that she wanted to visit Dolores, she didn’t mean to visit her right away. They
could schedule itter.
She was stunned when the helicopter appeared in front of them.
This…
Meeting her shocking eyes in the air, rence asked, “Didn’t you say that you want to visit her?”
“But I meant to visit her when you solve these problems, not…”
“That’s not important. Since the helicopter is here, let’s get into it.”
With a confused expression, Ste was then pulled into the helicopter by rence.
After a short while, there came a loud sound from above and the helicopter slowly took off.
rence lowered his head to take a nce at his wrist watch and then pulled Ste into his arms, “It
will take several hours. Have a rest now.”
Ste moved her lips trying to say something, yet gave up at the next moment.
Charles and Phoebe didn’t want to see her now, so it was good if she didn’te back. They wouldn’t
be able to bother her and she didn’t need to care about their moods either.
…
At the same time, when Modesty was at home, she received a phone call from Arthur.
Arthur said, “As routines, don’t let me wait for you.”
Modesty tightened her grip on the phone and asked, “Are you done?”
“Oh, what are you saying? Am I done? Aren’t we partners? Or do you want to show the video to the
police. I’ve copied the video into several CDs. I can send one to you if you want it.”
Modesty directly ended the call. She took a deep breath, changed her clothes and walked out of the
house.
On the way, she tried to contact Adolph for several times, yet none of her calls was connected.
Right at this moment, she suddenly found that someone was following her.
Modesty abruptly turned around, yet didn’t find anything.
She withdrew her lines of sights and continued to walk forwards. But gradually, she head more
footsteps, which meant that several people were following behind her.
Modesty became so nervous. When seeing the convenience store in front of her, she rushed over and
panted at the door.
The shop assistant and the other guests looked towards her with weird expressions.
Modesty finally heaved a sigh of relief when seeing other people. She bought a bottle of water, took a
seat in the convenience store and then called Arthur, “Some people are following me. I can’t…”
“It’s okay. If you can’te here, I will post the video on the Inte.”
Modesty gritted her teeth resentfully.
After sitting in the store for several minutes, Modesty took out her phone and called a taxi.
The taxi arrived at the convenience store soon.
Modesty walked out of the store restlessly. But when she got into the car, the car door was pulled open
again and got into the car quickly.
Seeing this, the driver asked, “Do you know him?”
Although the man beside her was wearing a peaked cap, Modesty still recognized him with a nce.
She felt happy and replied hurriedly, “Yep, I know him.”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
