When Stella went back to the studio, it was almost noon.

As soon as she entered the office, Sherry walked to her and asked knowingly, “Where is Mr. Conrad?”

“He has a lot of work to deal with in Steward Group, so he went over.”

Sherry sat opposite Stella, raising her eyebrows. “Why don’t you go dating or something?”

Stella opened her draft book. “It’s still daytime. We both have a lot of work to deal with.”

“It’s different. Haven’t you just gotten the marriage certificates?”

Stella was shocked.

She asked, “How did you know?”

Sherry pointed at her phone. “It’s spread online already.”

Upon hearing it, Stella picked up her phone and browsed.

The photos were all from the side or back of her and Clarence in low pixels. However, they could be recognized.

One photo was taken when they came out of the city hall and stood on the steps.

The sun was hanging behind them, warm and bright. She was smiling happily. Clarence tilted his head to look at her, curling up his lips.

Stella liked this photo a lot, so she saved it to her phone.

Sherry said, “The last time when you smiled so brightly was the day when you got divorced.”

Stella was speechless.

Rarely, Sherry and Clarence shared the same opinion.

After a thought, she asked, “Sherry, was I being thrilled when divorcing him?”

With her chin on her hand, Sherry recalled and said, “Yes, you were, but it was more like a relief to you. You were full of hope for your future. Obviously, you had felt tired and disgusted for the life earlier.”

Stella said, “It seemed those things had just happened yesterday.”

Sherry continued, “But it was already over a year ago. So many things have happened in the past year.”

That was true. She was so overwhelmed by those things once that she didn’t think she could make it. However, unexpectedly, she still hung on.

Stella picked up her phone again. Staring at the latest photos that Archer had sent to her, she looked down.

The baby was growing up day by day. However, she seldom had time to be with him.

Sherry and Stella heaved sighs in unison, staring out of the window. They were lost in their thoughts.

At six o’clock in the evening, when Stella was drafting, there were a few knocks on her office door. Elaine poked her head in and said, “Excuse me, Stella. Someone wants to see Sherry.”

Stella didn’t raise her head. “Isn’t she in?”

Elaine answered, “I didn’t find her next door. Probably she’s gone to the factory.”

Stella said, “All right. Take the visitor to the lounge. I’ll be right there.”

She stood up, stretched, and took this chance to have a walk outside.

Arriving at the lounge door, Stella knocked on it, pushed it open, and entered.

The man stood up when hearing the sound, nodding slightly at her.

Stella had met this man before. He used to blind date Sherry.

The man spoke, “Nice to meet you. I’m Brandon Chang, a friend of Sherry's.copy right hot novel pub
