Chapter 221
When Stella arrived at the hotel, the staff of the Star Ferry Technology had all been there.
Yet only Emmett was not present.
They waited for several more minutes, yet he still didn’t show up.
The staff of the company looked around while discussing it.
When Emmett’s assistant planned to go upstairs to find him, Emmett walked out of the hotel and smiled apologetically, “Sorry for keep you guys waiting. Let’s go.”
It was only dozens of minutes away from the restaurant and they could directly walk there.
The staff left one by one. Emmett walked to Stella, “Stella, let’s go there.”
Stella nodded her head. At the next moment, she noticed that there was blood around his mouth corners.
She was stunned, “What happened?”
Emmett turned his head aside. He wanted to wipe away the blood stain, “Not a big deal. I accidently broke it.”
Stella grabbed his hand, “Don’t touch it.”
Then she took out an alcohol pad from her band, opened it, and then handed it to him, “Don’t touch it directly with your hand. Disinfect it first.”
Emmett didn’t take it, “I can’t see it. Stella, can you help me?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
After hesitating for a short while, Stella nodded her head in agreement.
She wiped his broken skin with the alcohol pad carefully and dedicatedly.
Clarence, who stood at the entrance of the hotel and watched this scene from not far away, immediately turned cold.
Nathan, who followed behind him, took a step backwards to distance himself away from him.
When Stella was wiping the wound for Emmett, she accidently looked into his unfathomable eyes. She stiffened and slowly withdrew her hand, “It… It’s almost done.”
Emmett smiled, “Thank you.”
Stella felt a bit unease. She touched her neck and shifted her gaze.
Emmett said, “I guess they will be there. Hurry up to follow them.”
“Okay.”
On the way to the restaurant, Stella felt it awkward and weird.
Emmett didn’t talk to her. The two of them remained silent on the way.
Stella and Emmett were the last ones to arrive at the restaurant. When they arrived there, the others had seated themselves.
Her seat was near Emmett’s and they were at the same table with the C-level managers of the Star Ferry Technology.
The managers were all young and it looked like they were all around their twenties or thirties. They all got along well with Emmett in usual times.
When they sat down, one of them joked, “If I have known that we can bring girlfriend here, I would also have brought my girlfriend. Then I won’t feel jealous at your PDA now.”
“Yeah, Mr. Carter, you bring your girlfriend here. Why didn’t you notify us in advance? It’s so unkind to us.”
Emmett chuckled, “Stop. I told you that you can bring your families or friends here before.”
The group booed. Someone said in a teasing tone, “Mr. Carter, you should introduce your girlfriend to us. She may feel awkward by only sitting there.”
Emmett said, “Stop here. She’s not my girlfriend yet.”
Stella nodded with a smile and then began to introduce herself, “Hello, my name is Stella Radomil.”
The managers looked at each other.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed like Mr. Carter hadn’t won her heart yet.
They were all shrewd elites in the workplace, so they figured it out immediately and stopped teasing at them. After a brief introduction, they shifted the topic.
After a short while, a person asked, “Ms. Radomil. You look familiar. Did we meet before?”
Another manager joked, “What a trick. You feel familiar with every beauty, right?”
“Not so. Really, I feel that I’ve seen her before…”
Emmett made an explanation, “Stella is a designer of SG Jewelry Magazine before and she always took part in the news conferences of the magazine. It’s normal that you’ve seen her somewhere before.”
Another person said, “No wonder. I didn’t dare to say it just now. I also feel that I’ve seen her before. Hahaha…”
The people at the table all laughed. It was the end of this topic.
Nevertheless, the manager who brought up this topic first still knitted his brows tightly.
He felt that he had seen Stella earlier than the news conferences.
They couldn’t do whatever they like after the lunch. Some of them went to the hot spring; some went to the golf course and some went to the archery range.
The holiday village is big and it had many entertainment projects.
Therefore, it would be the best choice for a big company that had many young employees like the Star Ferry Technology.
Stella didn’t think that it was normal for her to bump into Clarence here. It could only prove that that wretched man was so capable that he had properties everywhere.
Stella and Emmett chatted from time to time while walking.
When they arrived at the golf course, a woman ran over, “Mr. Carter, luckily you’re here. I’m not good at playing golf. Can you teach me?”
Emmett was stunned, “I…”
The girl then looked towards Stella and blinked her innocent big eyes, “Miss, you won’t mind it, right? I just want Mr. Carter to teach me how to play golf. I will return him to you soon.”
Stella forced a smile. She didn’t reply.
Of course she could tell that this girl said those words with intentionally. It was just that she was not Emmett’s girlfriend, so she didn’t have the standpoint to refuse it.
The girl continued, “Mr. Carter, please. They are all watching at us.”
Emmett also didn’t know how to refuse her under such a situation. He heaved a sigh helplessly, “All right.”
“That’s so great. Thank you, Mr. Carter.” After finishing the words, she looked towards Stella, “Thank you too.”
Stella’s smile became more perfunctory.
This girl looked pretentious from top to toe.
Emmett said to Stella, “Stella, let’s go there.”
Stella nodded her head gently, “All right.”
The girl help up Emmett’s hand and jumped while walking.
Stella followed behind them slowly.
Looking at their backs, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
If it were Clarence to encounter such a situation, he would only have two kinds of answers. One was ‘Does it have anything to do with me’, and the other was ‘you can’t even get hang of such a simple thing, how were you recruited before’.
Clarence always had a sharp tone.
Stella couldn’t help but chuckle when thinking of this.
But she changed her expression immediately.
Was she crazy? What the hell was she thinking?
Stella patted her cheeks with great force in an attempt to pull herself back to the reality.
That wretched man hadn’t pestered her during this period, but why did she keep thinking of her?
…
The girl led Emmett to the golf course and raised her chin at her colleagues triumphantly. She then turned around to look at Emmett and said in a cute tone, “Mr. Carter, they said I should hold the club with this posture. Look, am I right?”
Standing behind the girl, Emmett kept a distance away from her and helped her adjust her posture, “It’s not correct. You should hold it like this?”
“Like this?”
The girl deliberately made wrong postures again and again.
Emmett heaved a sigh and gentlemanly grabbed her wrist, “Hold his place.”
