Chapter 84 84: Tiffany is your daughter ?

Ella was at a loss as to what to say.

Stefan spoke with genuine sincerity, and his words profoundly resonated with her on all levels.

Max had never been able to truly thank her when they were dating, but now that Stefan was involved, it all seemed new.

She felt a sharp heat and her veins exploded with blood. Still staring at him with the same intensity, her face flushed.

"Is this child attempting to manipulate my emotions?" she asked herself.

Stefan noticed the flush on her cheek and smiled. He had no idea that a simple compliment could make her shy, but as he had already mentioned, she was special.

"What do you want to eat now that we have convinced our first investor?" Stefan said as he changed the topic.

He would have liked to see her back down, but he did not want to go too far.

Ella declined his offer with a swift shake of her head, stating, "We have a lot on our plate today, and going out to lunch would only make us run late."

"And you think that missing meals would help you focus on yours?" he actually asked.

With an empty stomach, neither Stefan nor Ella could concentrate on their work. Hence, she agreed to accompany him and abruptly ended the conversation rather than continuing to argue.

Ella raised an inquiring eyebrow as Stefan became absorbed in his phone within the eatery.

He managed to get her to go to lunch with him, but all he did was fiddle with his phone.

"Ahem, do you not think it is impolite to let a girl eat by herself?"

Stefan glanced away from his phone at her words and gave her a feeble smile.

"You do realize that your cellphone is getting more attention than your food," Ella joked, making Stefan awkwardly scratch the back of his head.

Not to belittle himself, he apologized, "I have something going on really serious that needs my attention."

The first thing Ella thought of was Bianca, or any of his flings who might be in need of his attention.

"Okay.." she said, her mood turning dim.

"Is it related to Bianca?" Stefan overheard her ask, noting the slur in her voice.

Ella knew better than to pry into his private affairs, but she was unable to control herself.
