Stella and Clarence had a passionate night. When Stella woke up the next morning, she found she it was late and she didn’t hear the ringing of her alarm.

Stella picked up her phone and took a glance at the time. It was already 11 a.m.

Stella took a deep breath, walked towards the bathroom while rubbing her waist and making a call to Sherry.

Sherry said, “Stella, oh you finally wake up.”

Stella felt a bit embarrassed to answer it, “I...”

”Mr. Conrad told me this morning that you drew designs until 4 a.m. last night and he asked not to bother you. Rest assured. I’ve taken Elaine to our studio and you don’t have to be in a hurry.”

Stella heaved a sigh of relief, “Okay.”

Luckily, that wretched man was not that shameless that he found a plausible excuse.

After ending the call, Stella put down her hone, cupped some water with her hands and splashed it on her face. Only them did she feel sober.

After washing herself, Stella walked to the kitchen, poured a glass of water and was then lost in her thoughts. Several minutes later, she went back to her room and changed her clothes.

When she arrived at the studio, it was already noon.

The take-out food Sherry ordered was delivered to the office and the whole office was prevailed by the fragrance of the meal.

Stella sat down on the sofa, closed her eyes and stretched out.

Sherry’s voice sounded, “Stella, I know you’re under great pressure because of the fashion week. Although there’s little time left, you still have enough time to prepare for it. Don’t stay up so late as it will harm your health.”

Sherry had been under Daniel’s supervision ever since her pregnancy and she would always go to bed at 11 p.m. and 0 o’clock at the latest.

When she got accustomed to this timetable, she felt it really comfortable.

Now she had formed the habit of going to bed early.

Stella was lost for words.
