Chapter 426


    When Ste woke up, she found the sun outside was so bright.


    She turned over her body and groped for her phone with her eyes closed.


    When she saw the time, she abruptly sat up on the bed. ‘Why it was suddenly eleven o’clock?’ She


    asked herself.


    Ste hurriedly got out of the bed. When she opened the door of her bedroom, she saw rence


    walking towards her with a bag in his hand, “Awake?”


    Ste said with regrets, “When did wake up? Why didn’t wake me up?”


    “You were in sound sleep. So I want to let you sleep for a more while.”


    “But I’mte!”


    rence asked, “Aren’t you off today?”


    Ste, “…”


    She suddenly calmed down herself.


    That was it.


    Today was Sunday.


    She had been working for several consecutive recently and she almost came to the studio every day.


    Therefore, she almost forgot she still had Sunday.


    Yawning, Ste walked into her bedroom, “Then I will go back to sleep.”


    rence wrapped her waist from behind, “Don’t go to bed again. It’s rare for you to have a day off.


    Shall we go out for a date?”


    Ste turned around and asked, “Will we go to see a movie again? Ohe on.”


    rence, “…”


    Seeing this, Ste curled her lips into a smile as her mood was greatly improved. Her sleepiness was


    all gone. Ste took the bag that had a dress in it from him and walked into the bedroom.


    However, just as she began to change her cloth, the door was opened.


    Ste hastily covered her chest with the dress and spoke unhappily, “Why don’t you knock at the door


    beforeing in?”


    rence said, “If you think that you’re taken advantage by me, I can show you my naked body too.”


    When speaking, he began to unbutton his shirt.


    Ste, “…”


    She hurriedly stopped him, “Stopppp!”


    Ste turned her back to him and hurriedly tried to put on her cloth.


    However, the buckles of her bra seemed to be against her and she couldn’t buckle it no matter how


    hard she tried.


    Right at this moment, the man’s low voice sounded from behind, “Do you need my help?”


    Ste surrendered to the reality.


    Her ears got red as she said, “Hurry up.”


    rence raised his brows and buckled her bra effortlessly.


    But before he could take action again, Ste had already ran away from him and put on the dress.


    After dressing up, Ste asked, “Where are we going?”


    “To a painting exhibition.”


    “When will it begin?”


    rence took a nce at the clock and then replied, “It still has enough time left. We can set off after


    having lunch.”


    When Ste was washing up herself, the phone that was thrown onto the sofa by rence before rang.


    He picked up the phone and walked out of the bedroom to answer it, “Say it.”


    “Mr. Conrad, Dempsey confronted Modesty face to face. But Modesty refused that she had done those


    things and shifted all the mes onto Adolph, Phoebe and Aurora.”


    rence chuckled as if he was not surprised.


    The person at the other end of the phone continued, “Initially, Dempsey intended to arrange his men to


    get rid of Modesty, but…”


    “But what?”


    “He was stopped by Young Master Justin.”


    rence replied in a nd tone, “I see.”


    “Shall we continue to keep an eye on Modesty?”


    rence said in a t tone, “No need. She has betrayed Phoebe and Aurora. Do you think that they


    are people to be trifled with?”


    Since Modesty had got Phoebe and Aurora involved, Dempsey would definitely not swallow this


    grievance. He wouldn’t let go of them easily, no matter it be Phoebe or Aurora.


    As for Modesty, she would have to confront Arthur.


    When rence just put the phone into his pocket, Ste walked out of the bathroom, “What’s the


    matter?”


    She seemed to hear to familiar names just now.


    “Nothing.” rence then asked, “Are you ready?”


    Ste replied, “Yep.”


    …


    As today was Sunday, many people also came to this painting exhibition, which added some


    boisterousness to this quiet art ce.


    Ste and rence walked around. After a while, Ste pointed at a painting in surprise, “This one, oh,


    I also saw this when I came herest time. I didn’t expect that I can still see if after many years.”


    rence titled his head and asked, “Have you been here?”


    Ste blinked her eyes and then withdrew her gaze guilt-stricken, “Y…Yep.”


    “When?”


    “When I was in university.”


    rence asked again, “With Horace?”


    Ste smiled at him. She didn’t answer this question and walked forward.


    rence gritted his teeth and caught up with her.


    He spoke in a nd tone, “I didn’t expect that you were quite free in university.”


    Ste suddenly had a feeling that the whole exhibition hall was full of jealousy. She curled her lips and


    said, “Not that free. But even though I was busy, I should still find some time to date the person that I


    have a crush on.”


    rence sneered. He didn’t spoke again.


    They continued to walk forward. Several minutester, Ste suddenly saw a familiar person not far


    away, and that person also found her soon.


    Sherry ran over, “Ste, had I known that you woulde to this painting exhibition too, I would have


    invited you toe with me together. I thought you would have a rest at home today.”


    Ste smiled awkwardly, “We decided toe here on the spur of the moment. Did youe with


    Daniel?”


    Sherry looked backwards and subconsciously pouted, “Yep. But he was nowhere to be found after


    coming to this hall. Now that he’s so busy, he shouldn’t have agreed toe with me. I can’t find him


    now. How annoying!”


    Sherry paused and then continued, “Oh, by the way, do you remember that we skipped the ss and


    came to a painting exhibition in the junior year? I remember you were so fond of a painting back then. I


    saw that painting just now.”


    Just as Sherry finished her words, the man’s voice suddenly sounded from beside, “Skipping the


    ss?”


    Sherry hurriedly turned around, “Mr. Conrad, you also came here.”


    Ste coughed and tried to pull Sherry away. But Sherry didn’t understand her suggestion and


    shivered, “We skipped the ss several years ago. Are you going to me us now?”


    rence suddenly chuckled when he heard the words, “It’s just a casual question. Except for you two,


    did anyone go with you?”


    “As for skipping the ss, of course the less participant, the harder it would be for the teacher to find it.


    Who would skip the ss in group?” Sherry’s voice became lower and lower. She touched her neck


    and asked Ste in whisper, “What’s wrong with Mr. Conrad. He’s so horrifying now…”


    Ste wished so much that she could find a crack on the ground to hide herself.


    She just wanted to joke at this wretched man.


    But she didn’t expect that she would suffer the consequence so quickly.


    rence said, “I have to go out to deal with something now. I will be back soon.”


    After his leaving, Sherry couldn’t help but click her tongue, “Men are all the same. When women ask


    them to hang out together, they would find an excuse to leave.”


    Ste heaved a sighed silently. She thought it was worse than sleeping at home.


    Sherry withdrew her lines of sights and looked towards Ste, “By the way, Ste, that Arthur Bat


    called me this morning.”


    Ste knitted her brows and asked, “He called you?”


    “Yep. Seems like it’s still for the cooperation and franchise. I though he must have something wrong


    with his brain and hung up the phone directly.


    Ste pressed her lips together, “I guess he came to find you because I had been ignoring him.”


    Sherry said, “But why does he suddenly stop fighting against Modesty? I’ve been waiting for the follow-


    ups.”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
