Stella got up from Clarence’s legs and then bent over placing softly the ice pack on his face on which the finger marks still could be seen.

Clarence laid his hands on his knees with fingers knocking on knees and gazed at Stella with his black eyes in silence.

Stella was disturbed by his stare, so she reminded, “Mr. Conrad, could you please close your eyes?”

“You looked at me secretly in the car for a long time, but I didn’t ask you to close your eyes.”

“….”

An annoying wretched man.

Stella increased her strength deliberately putting the ice pack on his face tightly.

Clarence’s expression changed slightly, but Stella withdrew her hand quickly right before he was going to get mad, “I think it’s enough. It’s late. Mr. Conrad should have an early night. I gotta go.”

Stella turned around but her wrist was held by Clarence again.

Clarence showed annoyed, “Leaving so soon?”

“Or I should stay for midnight snack?”

“Good idea.” Clarence agreed and then took out his phone from the sofa. As he was dialing, Stella stopped him in a hurry, “I was kidding, I was kidding!”

The wretched man never acted like a normal people.

Clarence pushed the glass on the table towards Stella, “Have a drink?”

Stella laughed with a sneer, “Mr. Conrad think I would fall for it twice?”

“I didn’t know you are a light drinker.”

Stella ignored him and got rid of his grasp, “I have to get up early tomorrow morning. Mr. Conrad, enjoy yourself.”

As soon as she finished, she walked toward the door.
