Chapter 553


    In the hot pot restaurant…


    rence still didn’t show up when they finished the meal.


    Ste dialed rence, yet only to learn that his phone was turned off.


    Seeing this, Sherry asked, “Ste, what’s wrong?”


    Ste put her phone back into her pocket and shook her head, “Nothing. rence told me that he will


    come here just now, but…”


    Daniel asked, “Did anything happen to the Conrad Group in these two days?”


    “I think so. But when I asked Nathan about this today, he told me they are some insignificant interior


    affairs and they’ve been solved.”


    “Some insignificant interior affairs?”


    Ste uncontrobly pressed her lips together when she heard the question. She guessed that Nathan


    probably didn’t tell her about the truth. However, now that they didn’t want to talk too much about this,


    she didn’t probe into it.


    But based on Daniel’s attitude, it seemed like this problem was much more intractable than what she


    had imagined.


    Ste pondered for a while and then asked, “Do… Do you know something about the condition?”


    Daniel replied, “I heard this afternoon that rence deployed all his men in these two days and


    searched the whole City N. I’ve never seen this before. As for the details, I’m also not clear about them.


    But I feel it’s something about the Conrad Group’s interior affairs.”


    “Could it be that he’s looking for Lyndon?”


    “It’s not likely because we’re mainly responsible for looking for Lyndon. Even when he was looking for


    Phoebe back then, he didn’t use so many forces like this.”


    Hearing their discussion, Sherry asked Ste in a low voice, “Could it be that he cheats you and raises


    the other woman outside?”


    Daniel twitched his mouth, “This is more impossible. But…”


    Daniel seemed to think of something and suddenly paused. He knitted his brows, his expression


    getting more serious.


    Ste asked, “What do you know?”


    Daniel’s expression returned to normal after a short while. He replied with a smile, “Nothing. It’s just


    that I suddenly thought of something. It’s not important.”


    Daniel took a nce at the clock, “Then let’s go.”


    After walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Ste expressed farewell to Sherry and got into a car that


    was parked by the roadside.


    Sherry withdrew her gaze and asked Daniel, “You know what rence is doing, right?”


    Daniel smiled awkwardly, “How can I know about his affairs?”


    “Your reaction just now was abnormal. You must know something.”


    Daniel was lost for words. Several secondster, he replied, “Don’t think too much. I know nothing,


    seriously.”


    He received a piece of news that Ste’s child was probably alive and asked his men to investigate it


    several times, yet they found no clue.


    Daniel also tried to find some clues from rence, but rence didn’t give him any chance.


    It was safe to say only Ste and that baby deserved rence to use all his forces just to find them.


    But it was just his guess.


    Moreover, based on Ste’s reaction, he guessed that she knew nothing of it. Therefore, he couldn’t tell


    her about this secret under such a circumstance.


    Originally this was Sherry’s trick. Seeing that she couldn’t get any information from Daniel, she pouted,


    “Well.”


    …


    On the other side…


    Sitting in her car, Ste dialed Nathan.


    But it was rence to answer the call.


    Ste paused when she recognized his voice and asked, “Didn’t you say you wille to have hot pot


    together. Where are you now?”


    rence replied in a t down, “There was suddenly an emergency in thepany, so I came back.”


    Ste asked after a short while of silence, “Then why was your phone off?”


    “It was out of power. I prepared to call you just now.”


    “Will youe back tonight?”


    “Nope. I have to deal with many things. Go to bed early.”


    Ste replied with a simple answer and added, “Go on with your business, goodbye.”


    rence replied, “Okay. Be careful when driving.”


    After ending the call, Ste stared at the screen, pondered for a while and then started the car.


    Ste went to the restaurant that rence usually visited, ordered some light dishes as takeout food


    and then went to the Conrad Group.


    The moment she got out of the lift, she bumped into Nathan.


    Nathan was stunned as he didn’t expect to see her. He didn’t dare to look into her eyes, “Ms. Radomil.”


    Noticing that Nathan didn’t dare to look at her, Ste asked, “Do you feel ufortable?”


    Nathanughed awkwardly, “A… A little bit, probably. Maybe it’s because I often worked overtime


    recently.”


    Ste thought of his sry and began to feel distressed for herself. “Where’s rence?” asked Ste.


    “Mr. Conrad is…”


    “Is he at a meeting?”


    “No…Nope.”


    Ste recalled that Nathan just walked out of the CEO’s office and said, “I see. Go on with your


    business.”


    Nathan stopped her, “Ms. Radomil.”


    Ste turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    Nathan replied, “Mr. Conrad is having a rest now. Shall youe tomorrow?”


    “Not a big deal. I will leave after giving him these things and I won’t bother him.”


    Looking at Ste’s back, Nathan heaved a long sigh. Even he would feel guilty in the face of Ste, not


    to mention Mr. Conrad.


    Ste gently pushed open the door of the office and popped out her head from behind the door.


    rence was really sleeping on the sofa.


    If her guess was right, rence hadn’t had a rest sincest night.


    He mustn’t have anything.

    He was always like this when he was busy.


    Ste walked towards him slowly and gently, put the paper bags on the tea table and picked up


    rence’s jacket from aside.


    She leaned forward, covered his body with the jacket and then fixed her eyes on him with the same


    posture.


    There were dark circles beneath his eyes.


    She should boil some nutritious soup tonight and take it to the office to him tomorrow morning.


    Ste stood up and prepared to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.


    The man’s voice slowly sounded, yet he still didn’t open his eyes. “Howes you’re here?” asked


    rence.


    Ste replied, “I drove past here. Have you had the meal?”


    “Not yet.”


    “You haven’t had lunch, or simply dinner?” Ste paused and then added, “Or you haven’t had


    breakfast either?”


    rence curled his lips into a smile when he heard the question. He opened his eyes and nced at


    her, “Oh, seems like you care about me a lot.”


    Ste ignored him and withdrew her hand from his grip. She took out the dishes from the paper bags


    one by one and said, “Eat them. Even if you’re not exhausted from your work, you will be starved first.”


    rence reached out to wrap her waist with both hands and pulled her into his arms, “Feed me.”


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    rence continued, “I’m so tired that I don’t want to move.”


    “You said you don’t want to move, but you didn’t hesitate when taking advantage of me.”


    Although Ste wasining about it, she still picked up the folk and sent a piece of food to his


    mouth.


    But rence didn’t eat too much and imed to be full a whileter.


    Ste sighed in her heart when looking at the leftover. He only finished half of them. Oh, never mind,


    it’s better than not having anything.


    rence said, “It’ste now. I will send you back.”


    “Don’t bother.” Ste replied while cleaning the table, “I can go back myself. Go on with your business.”


    rence fixed his eyes on her back. After a short while of silence, he asked, “Can you live in the Starry


    Lake Mansion in the future?”


    “I’ve read the news. The apartment was seriously burnt. Anyway, the decoration in the Starry Lake


    Mansion has been finished. Of course, I can move into the mansion.”
