After parting with Emmett, Stella just sat in her car when receiving a call from Clarence.

The man’s voice sounded a bit unhappy, “Where are you now?”

Stella answered when fastening the seat belt, “Having lunch.”

“What are you having?”

Stella took a glance at the restaurant nearby at random and told him the name.

Clarence asked, “When are you going back?”

Stella suddenly had a thought, aiming to tease the wretched man. She purposely answered, “I don’t know yet. We’ll also go see a movie after lunch.”

“Will you also go shopping after seeing the movie?”

“How did you know it?”

“That’s a good plan.”

Before Stella spoke again, the door next to the passenger seat was knocked.

She turned around, falling into the silence for a long while.

It was way too embarrassing.

If she had known it, she wouldn’t have faked those things earlier.

Stella curled her lips, put away the phone, and pressed the lock on the door.

Then the door was opened, and Clarence sat in.

Stella asked, “Why are you here?”

Clarence raised his brows and looked at her, “If I weren’t here, would you plan to go see a movie alone?”

Stella didn’t answer.

She wished the wretched man to shush.

She let out a hollow laugh, “I was just kidding. I need to go back to the studio. Mr. Conrad...”

Before she could finish her words, Sherry called her on the phone.

She said, “Stella, are you done over there?”

“Soon. I’ll be right...”

Don’t rush. I’m calling to tell you that the electric cable outside of our studio was broken during the construction. The electricity is out. It won’t be repaired until the evening. I’ve already sent the girls home. You can take this chance to have
