Chapter 461


    Ste was quite busy these few days, apart from working at the studio, rence dedicated her to


    another task.


    It was to discuss with the designers every detail about Starry Lake Mansion''s renovation.


    It was just her excuse but rence agreed. She intended only to renovate the room but rence


    wanted the designer to redesign the entire mansion, including the garden.


    The designer needed to check every detail with her, ensuring everything was done ording to her


    liking.


    It was a massive project for Ste.


    The designer waited in front of the studio even before it was opened and stayed the whole day. The


    designer approached her with the tablet whenever she was free until rence came to fetch her after


    work.


    She suspected that rence did it deliberately.


    No, he must have done it deliberately.


    She didn''t even know how many times she had hidden herself in the office, Sherry walked in, "Ste, I


    wanted to ask a few days back, are you renovating your house?"


    Ste smiled helplessly, "Don''t mention it, I now know what''s the taste of my own medicine."


    Sherry sat opposite her, "Seems like the wretched man is concern about this and let you decide every


    detail."


    "This is not a concern, it''s torturing."


    He just wanted to keep me busy all the time.


    Sherry sighed, "I''m jealous of you being torture like this, you order, he pays, how nice."


    Ste paused hearing that, "Did Daniel contact you these two days?"


    "No, why would he?" Sherryid her upper body on the table, "I need to treat him meal if he contacts


    me, it''s better if he doesn''t, save me money."


    Ste became silent.


    Liam hadn''te these few days too. The studio was quiet.


    It would have been perfect if the designer sent by rence was not here.


    "Let''s go out for dinner, ask Mr. Conrad not toe over," Sherry said.


    It was time for the studio''s monthly dinner gathering.


    Ste nodded, "Okay."


    She needed some time off from rence.


    In the afternoon, the designer approached again when Ste was making coffee. "Ms. Radomil, I have


    a new idea that needs your confirmation about what we discussed earlier…"


    "Do as your idea, I''m fine with everything," Ste said.


    "No, Mr. Conrad said every single corner of this house should be done ording to your liking."


    Ste frowned, "Tell me your idea."


    The designer immediately exined the results of their discussion earlier and the new idea.


    Ste on the other side did not pay attention at all, after the designer was done, she said, "It''s quite


    good, just do it this way."


    The designer let out a sigh of relief, "Is there any other ce that…"


    Ste interrupted, "We have a dinner gathering tonight all we are mostly females, so I''m not going to


    invite you to join, you can go back early today."


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "But…"


    "I''ll call renceter," Ste added, "I''ll only stay in the studio today and won''t go anywhere; you don''t


    have to keep watching me."


    The designer wiped off the sweat on his forehead hearing that and smiled, "Ms. Radomil is such a


    humorous person, I''m not watching you. I''ll go back early today since you are busy, I''ll see you


    tomorrow then."


    He left holding his tablet.


    The designer called rence and reported everything the moment he stepped out of the studio.


    "All right," rence replied casually.


    Ste called a few minutes after his conversation with the designer ended.


    "Are you upied?" she asked softly.


    "No, what''s the matter?" rence asked.


    "I need to attend a dinner gathering tonight, you don''t have toe to fetch me."


    "I need to stay longer in the office tonight too, call me when you are done."


    Ste was speechless. She wanted to escape.


    "Okay, okay," Ste said.


    That wretched man couldn''t give them some space? Did he have to be so pushy?


    rence smiled hearing her replied and someone knocked on his office door at this moment.


    rence set his mobile aside, "Come in."


    Nathan opened the door and strode in, "Mr. Conrad, we have news on Phoebe."


    rence turned, "Where is she?"


    "She''s near Barton family, I''ve sent our men."


    "The Barton," rence frowned.


    "Yes, there''s also news that Mr. Barton has not been home for quite some time, while Aurora went


    overseas a few days ago and even listed their residence for sale with a reduced price, it seems they


    want to sell it fast."


    rence grunted, sitting on his chair, "Phoebe is smart and arrogant but ended up in the hands of


    Aurora."


    "You mean Aurora is the one that leaked Phoebe''s whereabouts?"


    "Who else if it wasn''t her?" rence tapped lightly on the table, "It seems they are nothing but


    acquaintances and no one will think about investigating the Barton given what happened to them


    recently."


    "If Aurora took Phoebe in, why would she sell the house?"


    "She didn''t do it genuinely, Aurora is not a kind-hearted person, furthermore, Phoebe was arrogant and


    had never respected her, she has been waiting to see Phoebe fall, why would she help genuinely?"


    "Women are scary," Nathan sighed.


    rence raised his brows as he thought of the woman that had been giving him headachestely at


    home and agreed, "Scary indeed."


    rence added after a while, "Is there any news on Charles?"


    "No news from Charles but I heard that William went out of town this morning."


    "Where to?"


    "Not sure, and he came back at noon. Seems like he went looking for something but to no avail."


    rence said casually, "Seems like Jeffrey is ying cat and mouse with him. What about Ste''s


    biological mom''s grave? Any news on that?"


    Nathan shook his head, "Mrs. Conrad said her mother died giving birth to Channing, I''ve checked all


    information within that period and only found death certificates."
