Chapter 481
The employee turned to look at Stella. Stella didn’t want to make things difficult for her and nodded.
“It’s fine. Please, carry on.” With that, the staff member turned to leave.
Chris walked towards Stella and sat down before her. “I really didn’t expect that he’d treat you like
some precious treasure.” “It’s just coming out for an afternoon of fun. Is that considered as treating me
like precious treasure?” Stella looked expressionlessly at him.
The two had parted unceremoniously at Ford Corporation’s building the last time, and Chris even
attacked Weston. Yet, now that they’d met again, Chris acted as if nothing had happened. It was
evident that this man had outstanding mental tenacity. Chris smiled and said nothing as he poured a
glass of wine for himself. He took two sips and asked, “Where is Weston?” “He went out for some fresh
air.” “Aren’t you worried? He’s been out for so long.” Stella shook her head. “He’s a full-grown adult.
What do I have to be worried about?” “Aren’t you worried that another woman will seduce him?
Beauties abound in this place.” Stella smiled sardonically, neither confirming nor denying Chris’ jabs.
Initially thinking that Chris would only sit around for a while, to her surprise, Chris showed no signs of
making a move even after ten minutes. In fact, he looked increasingly comfortable where he was and
seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.
Stella stood up, unable to take it any longer. “I’ll go and look for him.” Chris smiled and followed
leisurely behind her, “Finally anxious? I’ve already said that beauties abound in this place. If you don’t
keep a close eye on him, a man like Weston can be easily seduced by one of them.” Chris was very
familiar with The Doghouse, and he managed to find the balcony that Weston had originally smoked at
in no time. Both of them did not expect to witness the scene before them.
Stella was stunned and stood rooted to the ground. That woman was Weston’s secretary, and she saw
her a couple of times in the office, looking vastly different from how she looked right now.
Daisy, a white-collared elite, was supposed to be a successful career woman that navigated her
way around commercial skyscrapers while wearing sleek business attire, making swift and resolute
business decisions.
Yet, she now looked utterly out of sorts. Hiding behind Weston, her face was stained with streaks of
tears on her face that made her look pitiful. Meanwhile, a man with his face contorted with rage stood in
front of her, yelling at the top of his voice.
However, since it was obvious that he was physically no match for Weston, he didn’t dare to be too
aggressive. He merely stood where he was and yelled as loud as he could. Before Stella could realize
what was happening, she felt tension in the air. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a black figure
rushing out. Just as she tried to avoid the person, Chris bumped into her, and she almost fell. “Daisy?
What’s the matter!”
Chris rushed to Daisy’s side, paying no attention to Stella, whom she had bumped into. Weston heard
his voice and looked over. His brows furrowed slightly, but he collected himself and retracted his gaze.
It wasn’t a surprise to see Chris at such a place.
But why did he care so much about Daisy? That was something that Weston did not expect. Previously,
he noticed that Chris had been very attentive toward Daisy. That being said, as long as it did not affect
his performance at work, he couldn’t be bothered about their personal affairs. He didn’t want to
interfere in his subordinates’ private lives–it had nothing to do with him as long as work was not
affected.
However, Daisy remained highly professional-she rejected Chris several times and even embarrassed
him the last time.
Hence, Weston believed that given Chris’ character, he would back off knowingly. To Weston’s surprise,
it seemed that Daisy had a place in his heart. Chris pointed to the man standing in front and yelled
coldly, “Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in The Doghouse. Are you tired of living?”
