Stella was abruptly stunned.
She would automatically be on her guard whenever she heard Daniel's voice, staring at the latter
vigilantly.
Daniel got close and saw her demeanor, so he inevitably chuckled. He first turned to look at Annie at
the side. "You can get off work now. But Stella stays."
Hence, Annie had to leave first. While leaving, she turned to look at Stella in worry.
Everyone knew Daniel's ulterior motives toward Stella.
Of course, one wondered if he was harboring any schemes by detaining her alone.
Annie stopped when she reached the door of the company.
Based on the company's rules, the employees had to submit an emergency contact to the company
and their partners as precaution. Annie remembered that Stella submitted Liam, her husband's contact
number when they went on a business trip together the other day...
Annie found Liam's number on her phone. After a brief hesitation, she texted him.
...
Daniel smiled cunningly at Stella in the office.
"You're indeed my junior." He sized her up. "Our company failed to reach an agreement with the Wilson
family after so many years but you managed to hand in your marketing proposal to them right away.
Humph! You're awesome!"
Stella wore an indifferent expression. "Mr. Clark, do you ask me to stay to say that?"
"Of course not." Daniel cleared his throat. "There's a dinner party tonight. Go with me!"
Stella shot him a disdainful stare.
However, Daniel grinned unconcernedly.
He knew that Stella hated that kind of occasion the most. But he used it to disgust her.
Since he could not win her over, he would use her as a stepping stone to help him.
"Alas, I didn't want to invite you." Daniel smiled sinisterly. "But you're the only pretty woman in this
company. Sometimes it's troublesome for women to be so pretty!"
"I'm sorry. I can't go," Stella refused him coldly. "My husband is still waiting for me at home. I have to..."
"Do you want to go back and cook for him?" Stella scoffed. "Can't your husband take care of himself?"
"Daniel, watch your tongue." Stella glared at him. "It's none of your business whether my husband can
take care of himself or not. If you dare to provoke me again, he'll beat you up until you can't take care
of yourself!"
Daniel's face turned gloomy as he fell silent.
"After all, Mr. Thompson requested you to join the party. I just passed the message along. If you refuse
to go and offend the client, our company won't tolerate you anymore!"
After that, he left. Stella watched his back fiercely while gritting her teeth.
After all, it was related to her work. Even if she was reluctant, she had to compromise for the time
being.
So, Stella texted Liam and rushed toward Universe Hotel reluctantly.
When she entered the private room, she saw a man as handsome as the top celebrity sitting in the
main seat.
Stella was stupefied.
She failed to see his face downstairs of Wilson Group that day. She was now able to see him at such a
close distance. She felt that Annie was right. He looked more handsome than in the photos.
Oliver did not expect to see her there too.
He was stunned when he saw her come in. After the brief stupefaction, a cold ran down his spine.
Benjamin and Daniel were eager to curry favor with him when he arrived just now. They mysteriously
told him that there would be a charming woman to be with them tonight.
But if Noah learned about that...
Oliver drew in a cold breath and stood up abruptly, staring at Stella.
"You're Mr. Wilson?" Stella nodded. "I'm Stella Taylor, an employee of the Sales Department."
"Oh, okay." Oliver nodded in a trance.
Both Benjamin and Daniel chuckled secretly.
It turned out that even heroes fell for beauties. When Stella came, Oliver would submit humbly.
"Stella, don't just stand there!" Benjamin gave Stella a look. "Hurry up and pour wine for Mr. Wilson."
Helplessly, Stella walked to Oliver. When she was about to pour wine for him, he stopped her in panic.
"Please don't! Don't... Don't trouble yourself..."
The others were stunned at the same time.
Oliver forced a smile while sweating profusely. He was uneasy and frantic.
Daniel looked at Stella. "Give Mr. Wilson a toast."
Stella could only pour a glass of wine and gulp it down.
Oliver was terrified. He did not dare to let her toast him, so he filled his glass and gulped down three
glasses of wine consecutively.
"Let's not just drink," Benjamin spoke up. "Hey, Stella, go and serve Mr. Wilson food."
But before Stella could pick up a fork. Oliver immediately screamed, "I can do it myself! I don't dare to
trouble you... Miss Taylor!"
Benjamin frowned and felt something wrong somewhere, but he could not tell where.
He heard that Oliver was a playboy and had met a lot of women. Even if Oliver fell for Stella, he did not
have to be so nervous.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and observed Oliver. That powerful, rich young heir was filled with fear
and trepidation in front of Stella.
Both Benjamin and Daniel looked at each other. They made an excuse to go out to smoke. So, they left
the private room.
On the other hand, Stella drank too quickly just now. She was not good at drinking. When the wine got
into her head, she felt dizzy. So, she looked at Oliver apologetically. "Mr. Wilson, excuse me."
"Hmm, please go ahead."
Stella smiled and walked out of the room unsteadily.
She wanted to go to the door of the hotel for some fresh air but she heard the soft conversation
between those two when she turned a corner into the hallway.
