Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 71

Ronald dropped Stella off at the Orient Nexus Building.

As she stepped out of the car, he mentioned that the driver would pick her up in the evening and advised her to have a good dinner when she got back.

Stella expressed a desire to dine with Susanna, to which Ronald agreed but insisted the driver take her to the restaurant.

Stella was unwilling, for she intended to have hot wings with Susanna, but Ronald's attitude suggested she wasn't allowed to do that.

"Alright then," Stella responded meekly, clearly disappointed at missing out on the hot wings experience.

Ronald glanced at her, offered a smile, and instructed Idris to drive off.

Stella stood still, cheeks still flushed with emotions.

Returning from lunch, Tabitha noticed Stella's reddened face at the entrance of the building. She approached, examining closely Stella's expression. Startled by her moves, Stella stepped back, "What are you doing?"

"Boss, your face is all red. Are you in love?"

The mention of romance brought back memories of Stella's engagement to Yorick, a time when everyone at the studio felt sorry for her.

It was well-known that Yorick's heart belonged to Ursula, leaving many to believe Stella could do better and would be miserable if she married him.

But it turned out, Stella had never planned to marry him to begin with.
