Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 120

Stella’s actions landed me in a bit of a pickle. Simmons seemed to have a hunch about who I was chatting with and what was being discussed. In a soothing tone, he said, “Don’t sweat it. I have a bunch of friends around here, or I can crash at a hotel. Don’t let Stella’s words get to you”

The more Simmons talked, it made it harder for me

Simmons, it’s okay! It’s just for a few days. I have two rooms here, it’s pretty convenient, I replied graciously.

“That’s very kind of you. I should be able to find a place in three days, Simmons replied, looking at me with sparkling eyes.

Well, I guessed he could stay for three days. After all, he was Stella’s brother

I usually grab a bite at the convenience store, as I’m not a fan of getting up early to cook. I had to thank him for this.

Thanks!” I said, stuffing my face with a bowl of noodles.

After finishing, I dashed off to work.

Unfortunately, I ran into Bonnie again at the office entrance. She had just gotten off her scooter. Without a second thought, I floored it and sped past her.

When it was time to get off work at noon, Bonnie suddenly popped up at our department’s entrance, causing a few male colleagues‘ eyes to pop out
