Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 13:.

Stella felt a shiver run down her spine as Emily’s words struck a chord. It was as if she had just seen a ghost. Almost immediately, she felt herself perk up.

Stella looked in the direction of the stage. She saw that the man was looking in her direction. His deep blue eyes were unreadable from that distance, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

There were almost a hundred people in the room. Stella didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t applauded or something else, but she didn’t understand why the president of the company was looking in her direction.

Still, it was very scary to look into his eyes. Stella quickly averted her gaze, lowered her head and began to clap her hands silently.

“Ahhh! Look! Mr. Kingston is looking in my direction!”

The girl sitting next to Stella smiled excitedly and clapped louder.

When RK finished her brief speech, she came down from the stage and took a seat in front. He was seated about a dozen tables away from her, with several people between them. Only then did Stella let out a sigh of relief.

“All right, listen up everyone,” Elena announced, addressing their table. “Today it is our project team that is going to propose a toast to Mr. RK for his speech.

Everyone think about what you want to say to Mr. RK, but make it something more original than ‘You’re very handsome’ or ‘I like you’.”

Elena said this as she looked at the girl sitting next to Stella with a meaningful smile. “Take advantage of this opportunity,” she continued.

“Not everyone gets a chance to talk to Mr. RK. How he remembers you in the future may depend on how you behave today….. Good luck.” Elena finished speaking and left.

Afterwards, all the women seated around the table quickly pulled out their makeup bags and began applying it. Some were putting on blusher, some powder, some even mascara. They were behaving as if they had attended a beauty pageant.
