Chapter 439


    As soon as Ste went back to the studio, Sherry trotted over, pulling her into the lounge, “How did it


    go? What did the police say? Is there any result?”


    Ste shook her head, “Not yet. They just asked me what happened.”


    Sherry clicked her tongue, “It seems Arthur Bat has offended a lot of people. It should be quite


    difficult to find out the murderer in a short time.”


    Ste happened to be a bit thirsty. She turned around and picked up a ss to get some water. She


    said slowly, “I also met Modesty Parker in the police station.”


    “Modesty Parker? Why was she there?”


    “Same as me, doing the record.” Ste took a few sips of the water and continued, “But, I always feel...”


    Sherry asked, “What do you feel?”


    Ste returned to her senses, shaking her head, “Nothing. We’d better wait for the investigation result


    disclosed by the police.”


    Sherry said, “Oh, by the way, Doreen and I want to hang out in the bar we went tost time. Why don’t


    you join us? Let’s rx. I also invited Daniel. Would you like to invite that wretched man?”


    “Better not. He’s angry with me recently.”


    Sincest night till now, the wretched didn’t send her a message or called her. In the morning, she sent


    him a message to greet him, but he didn’t answer her at all.


    Sherry said directly, “All right. Just ignore him, then. We’ll enjoy ourselves more without him.”


    Ste exhaled, “Forget it. You guys have fun. I need to deal with the design drafts. I’m still behind the


    schedule.”


    Upon hearing it, Sherry didn’t insist, “Okay. Don’t work toote. Go home early.”


    Ste said with a smile, “Okay, I will.”


    For the whole afternoon, Ste stayed in the office and finished several drafts.


    After finishing thest one today, she stretched. It was already dark outside. She checked the time - it


    was eleven o’clock in the evening.


    Ste didn’t expect that it turned out to be sote.


    She picked up her cell phone and checked. The wretched man still hadn’t replied to her message.


    What a petty man!


    Ste packed her belongings. While walking out of the office, she called Nathan.


    After the call was connected, Nathan asked, “Hi, Ms. Radomil. What’s wrong?”


    Ste asked, “Is rence still in thepany?”


    “Yes, he is. Mr. Conrad is still in a meeting. He has been quite busy recently. He has been in meetings


    for a whole day.”


    Ste asked again, “Where did he stay in the past few days, Starry Lake Mansion or his apartment


    downtown?”


    Nathan probably had no idea why she was asking about it. He recalled that Ste didn’t like Starry


    Lake Mansion, so he tentatively answered, “I guess it’s his apartment downtown.”


    “I got it. Thanks. Please go back to your work.”


    After hanging up the phone, Ste locked the door of her studio, driving towards rence’s apartment


    downtown.


    After ten minutes, rence came out of the conference room.


    Nathan followed him immediately, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. Mrs. Conrad called just now.”


    rence asked indifferently, “What did she say?”


    “She asked... if you are still in thepany.” As a qualified and outstanding assistant, Nathan also


    repeated his answer, “I told her you are still in a meeting and you’ve been in meetings for a whole day.”


    rence recalled that Ste had sent him a greeting this morning, which he hadn’t replied to yet.

    He pulled out his cell phone and looked over at Nathan, “Is that all?”


    “Yes...” Suddenly, Nathan recalled something, “Mrs. Conrad also asked if you went back to Starry Lake


    Mansion or your apartment downtown.”


    Upon hearing it, rence slightly frowned, “What did you tell her?”


    “I said the apartment downtown.”


    Pressing his thin lips, rence paused his pace. Suddenly, he turned around and walked into the


    elevator.


    On the way, he called Ste several times, but she didn’t answer.


    He ordered the driver in a cold tone, “Speed up.”


    Ste had muted her cell phone while drawing her design draft in the afternoon, and she forgot to turn


    on the volume earlier. Also, she had been driving, so she didn’t notice that there were iing calls.


    After she parked in the underground parking lot of the apartment, Ste looked back, only to find that


    the ck car was still following her.


    Ignoring them, she got off the car and walked into the apartment.


    It was quitete now. There was nearly no one in themunity. It was extremely quiet.


    When Ste just arrived at the entrance of the apartment, she faintly saw a familiar figure in front. She


    was taken aback. With widened eyes, she wanted to see the figure more clearly.


    However, the light was a bit dim, and she couldn’t verify if that figure was the person she knew.


    Without any hesitation, she rushed to follow the person.


    Ste was getting closer and closer to the figure. When she was about to call the person to verify,


    rence suddenly showed up in front of her.


    He almost ran over, and he was panting now.


    Ste looked at him in confusion.


    rence looked calm. He asked in his ever-cold tone, “Why are you here?”


    “I’m just passing by.”


    After that, Ste recalled the figure just now. She pushed away rence, but the figure in front had


    vanished.


    rence asked tly, “Which route did you take so you can pass by my apartment?”


    Upon realizing that he was speaking ironically, Ste answered seriously, “Probably I was blind.”


    When she was about to turn away, her arm was grabbed by him.


    She heard his calm voice, “You are blind. Why are you still so bold to run around?”


    Ste choked up.


    He added, “In this case, you should beg me for help. Probably I’ll send you home.”


    “I’d rather call the police for help. It’s more reliable.”


    rence said, “Are you sure you don’t want to beg me?”


    “Yes!”


    rence said, “Okay. Come home with me then.”


    Ste was impressed.


    rence moved his grip on her arm, holding her fingers.


    Ste closed her eyes, “You’d better know when to stop. Aren’t we fighting now?”


    “When did it happen?”


    rence ignored her, pulling her downstairs.


    He made her feel that he wouldn’t allow her to escape since she hade to him herself.


    After entering the elevator, Ste wanted to pull out her hand, but she failed after trying several times.


    Hence, she could only give up.


    Looking at the changing numbers, Ste suddenly said, “Just now, I seemed to have seen Amanda


    Byron. Is she also living here?”


    rence nced at her and said indifferently, “You truly should go check up your eyes.”


    Ste snorted, “If it weren’t that you suddenly appeared and blocked my sight, I would have verified if


    that was her or not. The person looked like her a lot from the back.


    “Have you been working on your draft in the whole afternoon?”


    “What? Yes, I have...”


    “You’ve over-used your eyes. It’s normal you had the illusion. You don’t need to worry.”


    Ste wasn’t worried.


    Noticing that the wretched man kept teasing her, Ste didn’t want to talk to him any longer. She


    focused on how to get rid of his grip.


    However, when she seeded a bit, she was pulled into his arms.


    rence whispered in her ear, “There’s surveince in the elevator. Stop touching me.”


    Stepletely choked up.
