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...”

“No worries. 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 a rest.”

Stella was shocked.

How could it be so coincident?

After hanging up the phone, she looked t Clarence, her eyes full of suspicion, “Have you done it?”

“In your heart, am I that low-quality?”

“Well...”

‘Almost,’ she said inwardly.

Then she decided to go see a movie.

Stella tabbed the map app on her cell phone, searching a nearby movie theater.

She asked, “Mr. Conrad, which movie would you like to see?”

Clarence answered, “Choose the one you like.”

Stella found a cartoon that was just on a few days ago, the painting style of which was quite lovely and curing.copy right hot novel pub
