Stella rubbed her neck awkwardly and coughed, “Well... I’m taking a shower.”

Sherry gazed at her figure, feeling there must be something wrong. If not mistaken, she believed that the wretched man took advantage of Stella again.

Shortly after, the takeout ordered was delivered.

When Stella walked out of the bathroom after a shower, Sherry had just begun to eat. She asked, “Stella, do you want some?”

“No, thanks. Enjoy yourself.” Wiping the hair, when Stella was walking towards her bedroom, she recalled something suddenly. She returned to sit on the sofa and asked, “Sherry, have you heard anything about the classmate reunion?”

Sherry answered, “Yes, I have. It’s organized by Madison Taylor this time. Probably she wants to show off her senior executive husband. We’d better not to join the fun.”

Stella nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

Back to her room, Stella texted Emmett, telling him that Sherry and she wouldn’t go to the classmate reunion at weekend.

He asked calmly, “Hello, Stella. Have you come back to City N?”

“Yeah. I came back yesterday.”

“If you are free this weekend, I have two tickets to a stage show. Shall we go together?”

“Well, Emmett.” Stella pressed her lips and continued, “I don’t like the stage show. Probably you can ask someone else to go with you.”

On the other end of the line, Emmett fell into the silence before continuing, “It’s alright if you don’t like it. We can watch other shows. By the way, some recent movies are not bad, we...”

“No, thanks, Emmett,” Stella continued, “For the past few weeks, I do appreciate your accompany. I also want to apologize to you as well. No matter what, I must make it clear to you...”
