Chapter 557
When Ste arrived at the Conrad Group, rence was at a meeting and Nathan was also not present.
She then chose to wait in his office.
She waited until seven o’clock. During this period, Sherry and Winnie sent messages to her, saying that
they’d arrived. Channing was stuck in traffic, but he would also arrive soon.
When Ste prepared to go out and ask when the meeting woulde to an end, the door of the office
was pushed open.
rence walked towards her in strides, “Do you wait for long?”
Ste put her phone back into her pocket and smiled, “Not that long. Do you have to deal with any
other matter?”
“Nope.”
“Then I will take you to a ce.”

rence slightly raised his brows, “So youe here for a date with me.”
Ste held up his hand and took a step forward, “You can think so. Hurry up. Don’t be dtory.”
When the doors of the lift were opened and Ste was about to enter the lift, a man walked out of the
lift and reported, “Mr. Conrad, I’ve taken back the person. And…”
Maxwell paused when he saw Ste, retreated to a side and nodded his head at Ste.
rence replied with a nasal sound. He didn’t say anything.
After entering the lift, Ste recalled the scene and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
rence grabbed her hand and replied in aposed voice, “Nothing. A document of mypany
was lost and he just took back the employee responsible for it.”
“Isn’t it a serious problem? Then I think we shouldn’t go out now.”
“It’s not that serious. They will deal with it ording to the situation.”
“Well.”
When they went downstairs, it was still raining. Ste told the driver about the address and then took
out her phone to select a gift for rence. But after browsing for a long while, she found the gifts were
all not innovative. Moreover, rence was a picky person, so she didn’t know what gift he would be
satisfied with.
When Ste was focusing on it, rence gently tabbed her head, “What are you looking at? You’ve
paid attention to it for a long time.”
Ste lifted her head and turned off the screen, “Nothing. Since we’ve moved into the Starry Lake
Mansion, I think I should buy some things. Do you have any rmendations? Or what thing do you
want to buy?”
rence said, “There will be a charity auction next month. I will bring you there and you can buy
everything you like.”
Ste was rendered speechless.
It was unnecessary to be so exaggerated.
She said, “I meant goods for furniture for disy rather than for use.”
rence raised his brows, “The auction will auction various kinds of things. It’s good to buy some
paintings and porcins.”
Ste opened her mouth trying to say something, yet decided not to ask the question in the end.
She couldn’t get any referential information from rence.
She could think over itter.
rence rubbed her head, “I will send you a gift several dayster.”
Ste looked towards him, “What’s it.”
“You will know itter.”
“Can’t you tell me now?”
rence uttered the refusal slowly, “N-O-P-E.”
Ste was rendered speechless.
How did this wretched man learn this trick?
Although there was a small traffic jam, they still arrived at the appointed ce before eight o’clock.
After getting out of the car, rence looked around and asked, “Why do we have to date here?”
Ste held up his hand and took a step forward, “We’ve arrived. Let’se in.”
Sherry messaged her just now, saying that everyone had arrived.
They then walked to a private room. Ste pushed open the door and found the room was prevailed by
silence. When she prepared to express her confusion, rence wrapped his arms around her waist
and asked in a charming voice, “I didn’t expect you would choose such a ce. What do you want to
do?”
“Nope. I…”
Before she could finish the words, rencended a kiss on her lips.
However, the moment his lips touched Ste’s, the lights in the room were suddenly turned on and
spray strings exploded above their heads.
“Happy birthday!”
rence, “…”
Ste, “…”
When Ste came to her own sense, she hurriedly left rence’s embrace, her face crimson red.
The group of people was frozen on the spot, each holding a spray string bottle, and they all looked
away awkwardly.
rence expressionlessly took down a colored string from his head and nced around.
Sherry and the others, who were frozen just now, immediately found excuses after a short while of
silence, “Oh, the alcohol is cooling down. We should drink it as soon as possible.”
Sherry tentatively said, “Can we begin to eat now? I’m almost starved.”
Just as she finished the words, Daniel picked up a piece of pizza and handed it to her.
Sherry said, “No thanks. I wanted to eat that.”
When Sherry reached out to the spicy fish, Daniel stopped her, “It’s too spicy. You can’t eat that.”
Sherry pouted, “I will just eat a bit of that. I can eat spicy food after all.”
Daniel said, “If you really want to eat that, I will ask the waiter for a ss of hot water. You should rinse
it in the water before eating.”
Winnie, who just picked up a fruit folk, was rendered speechless when seeing this, “What are you
doing? To rinse the spicy fish?”
Just as she finished the words, Channing put a fruit pudding onto her te.
Sherry widened her eyes, “What are you doing?”
Winnieughed awkwardly, picked up the fruit pudding from her te and put it onto Sherry’s te,
“I’m working hard to lose my weight recently. You guys please enjoy it.”
Channing didn’t say anything and ced the bowl of fruit sd in front of her.
Sherry was confused.
She then looked towards Daniel. Daniel raised his brows.
Donald sat on the sofa with a ss of wine at his hand, feeling life quite boring, “I was wrong.”
Vincent asked, “What did you mean?”
“I thought Ste would invite many friends here, but I didn’t expect she would only invite them. She
doesn’t give me any space to show my charm.”
Vincent twitched his mouth, “Drop your bad ideas.”
rence nced over them and then turned his head to look at Ste, “Why are they here?”
Hearing the question, Sherry took the opportunity to congratte him, “Mr. Conrad, happy birthday.”
rence crossed his long legs and said in a t tone, “I’m not happy.”
Ste secretly kicked him under the table, suggesting him not to be so indifferent.
rence spoke again, “Thank you. I’m not happy at all.”
Ste was rendered speechless.
But they were all clear of this wretched man’s personality and they’d been ustomed to it. Therefore,
they didn’t take rence’s words to their hearts and continued to enjoy the party.
Several minutester, a waiter came in with a cake on the dolly.
It was time to blow out the candles.
Ste picked up the birthday cap, stood on tiptoes and prepared to put it on rence’s head. But
rence took the cap from her and put it on her head.
Ste asked, “Why did you put it on my head? It’s not my birthday.”
rence curled his lips into a smile, leaned forward and whispered into her ear, “It’s so silly, and you’re
more suitable to it.”
Ste instantly clenched her fists.
Winnie said, “It’s time to blow out the candles. Congrattions, Mr. Conrad, you’re a year older.”
With their congrattions, rence quickly blew out the candles.
