Without thinking Winnie had already knew what he wanted to say, “Mr. Conrad, aren’t you being too…”

Clarence replied coldly, “What? Forget it, you better come for the dinner.”

“No, no, no, Mr. Conrad I’ll promise you!”

Clarence hung up and threw it at Nathan, “Arrange someone else to go for the dinner tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Pausing for a moment, Clarence said, “Do I have plans tomorrow?”

“Yes initially…” Nathan quickly changed his words, “But not anymore.”

Clarence acknowledged that, and continued walking forward.

At the car, Nathan said again, “Mr. Conrad, there’s another thing.”

“Tell me.”

“Recently Ms. Steward and a foreigner called Daniel have been very close.”

Clarence asked, “Stella’s neighbour?”

Nathan nodded, “Yes.”

“What are his background and qualifications, have you investigated.”

“He’s a Chinese-Italian mix with no parents, he’s a cello performer, and is quite reputable internationally. A few months ago he organized a concert tour, and City N was the final stop.”

Clarence said, “How did he and Phoebe meet?”

“Last week at Ms. Steward’s birthday party, he was invited to perform.” Nathan continued, “Before that, the two of them had a few private dates, looks like…”

“Alright.” Clarence cut him off, “I don’t care about those, monitor her, and don’t let her go look for Stella.”

“Alright.”

On winter solstice, it started snowing since morning, and the temperature was dropping quickly.

Stella and Sherry went out early in the morning to buy the ingredients for the hotpot. Just when they reached the doorstep, they saw Channing waiting there.

Opening the door, Stella said, “Didn’t I ask you to come over in the afternoon, why are you here so early.”
