Upon hearing it, Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. With a wry smile, he said, “I see. I thought you know Mr. Conrad very well.”

Stella was about to answer, and they heard a man’s cold voice behind. “Ms. Radomil, I also think you know me very well.”

There was a few seconds of silence among them.

Alexander immediately explained, “Mr. Conrad, Stella didn’t mean it...”

“Stella?” Clarence snorted. “You called her first name. It seems you guys are quite close, Mr. Hans and Ms. Radomil.”

Alexander was so nervous. “I... Stella and I...”

Stella looked over at Clarence and said calmly, “Mr. Conrad, if you are unhappy with me, please talk to me directly. Why are you always targeting another person?”

Clarence looked over at her slowly, his eyes and brows full of coldness.

Alexander sensed the tense atmosphere between them. He tried several times to speak but couldn’t utter any sound.

A few seconds later, Clarence said in a cold tone, “Ms. Radomil, you think yourself someone important, don’t you?”

“I see. I’ve got to go now. Please excuse me.” As she spoke, Stella nodded slightly at him and turned away.

“Wait, Stella...” Alexander hurriedly called her. Then he turned around and said to Clarence, “I’m sorry, Mr. Conrad. I’ll be right back after seeing Stella off.”

Stella walked to the entrance, waiting for the taxi. Then she saw Alexander follow her up. She said, “I can go home myself. You don’t need to give me a ride.”

Alexander said, “It’s alright. I’ll see you off.”

Upon hearing it, Stella couldn’t refuse him again. She nodded.

When standing next to her, Alexander felt how furious she was. After a hesitation, he asked, “Stella, do Mr. Conrad and you know each other?”

Stella was taken aback for a moment. She didn’t know how to answer.

Alexander continued, “You’re from City N and so is Mr. Conrad. Was there any misunderstanding between you two before?”
