Chapter 17:.

Despite their reluctance, they could not disobey their leader. With crestfallen heads, they all responded in unison, “Yes, Miss Elena…”.

Elena looked around the table before picking up her spoon and resuming her meal. “Everyone, finish your meal and don’t think about things that aren’t work related.”

Outside the MOON Hotel, Emily said her friend wanted her to join them for drinks and asked Stella if she wanted to join her.

But Stella declined. She didn’t like these kinds of occasions. On the other hand, her baby was still home alone, waiting for her. Emily didn’t oblige her and left.

Since Stella had come with Emily, she now had a ride home. Also, she had just recently returned, so she didn’t have her car, which meant she could only go home alone. Stella decided to walk to the road to catch a cab.

As she stepped out onto the road to hail a cab, a voice called to her from behind. “Stella, if you want, RK and I can drop you off at our house. We’re going that way.” It was Sophia’s voice….

Of course, she didn’t want to agree at all. She was acting only for the man next to her. She just wanted to show him how loving a sister she was. Stella knew that all too well.

He looked at Sophia, who was holding RK’s hand, and replied coldly, “Thank you, but you needn’t bother. I’ll go myself.”

“Why would she want to be the third wheel?” Stella thought. “They’re going together; she doesn’t need to go extra awkward.”

Predictably, after hearing her answer, Sofia’s lips curved into a smile as she said, “Then it’s okay. But you should be careful on the way. When you get home, just…”

“Get in the car,” RK interrupted before he could finish speaking. After he spoke, the driver opened the door for him and he got into the car.
