Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 167

As soon as Emmett arrived, the atmosphere in the box had changed slightly.

The men who were bluffing about their hundred-million projects kept gulping down the water to cover the embarrassment.

Even Emmett didn’t speak, but when he was sitting there, he looked with good charisma. He immediately became outstanding among the man. If anyone still continued to boast, that would be lacking self-knowledge.

After a short while, Madison asked, “Emmett. what have you been up to in the past two years? I haven’t heard about your news for a long time. It turned out that you went abroad. When did you come back?”

Emmett nodded at her and smiled slightly. He answered, “I came back last year. Now I’m running my own small company.”

“I see.” Madison looked down a bit with an obvious disdainful look. She crossed her arms on her chest, looking quite arrogant, “It’s quite difficult to start a new company now. What’s the name of your company? My husband is an executive manager of a big company. I’ll go home and tell him about it. In the future, if his company has any projects, probably he’ll give the priority to you.”

Madison’s words sounded insulting. Sherry could hardly hold back her anger. Other men at the table looked quite unhappy, too. However, Emmett still kept a polite smile like a gentleman. He said calmly, “Thank you for your kindness. But my company is doing great currently. Please don’t bother.”

Pleased by his attitude, Madison continued, “All right. For the sake that we were classmates, in case your company encounters any problem in the future, please feel free to let me know. You don’t need to pretend and hang on there by yourself.”

Soon, another man asked, “Emmett, what’s the name of your company? We shall visit you if we have time. This is the first time that someone I know owns his own company. Does it feel good to be a boss?”

Emmett answered while smiling, “Please feel free to drop by at any time.”

As he spoke, Emmett pulled out a business card to the man who asked just now.

Looking at the gilding characters on the business card, the man read, “Star Ferry Technology...”

Before he finished reading, another man approached and looked at the business card, “Holy fuck! It’s Star Ferry Technology for real!” As he spoke, he looked at Emmett in disbelief, “Did you found Star Ferry Technology?”

Before Emmett answered, Madison asked disdainfully, “Is this company good?”

“Good? Star Ferry Technology was founded overseas. Since it was migrated back last year, it has been keeping developing. Now it was just behind Conrad Group in the industry. Tell me what level it is.”

Madison looked a bit annoyed. She didn’t speak for a moment.

Emmett said, “That’s too exaggerating. Conrad Group covers a lot of business fields. Technical research and development are just part of their businesses. Comparing to Conrad Group, Star Ferry Technology still has a long way to go.”

Although he said so, everyone knew that he was being modest.

All of them knew on what level Conrad Group was. Now Star Ferry Technology could be talked about together with Conrad Group. It meant that this company was excellent as well.

Upon hearing the conversation, Sherry believed that she had truly found a treasure. Emmett was handsome with good character. He was a tender gentleman and could develop his company to achieve such excellence. She believed that he was quite competent to Clarence the wretched man.

On the way to the ladies, Sherry asked, “Stella, what do you think of Emmett?”

Stella answered, “He’s good. When he entered the box just now, I didn’t recognize him at all.”

“Gee. I meant how do you like him?”

Stella nodded and echoed, “His temper is good, too. Even Madison said those words, he wasn’t pissed.”

Sherry kept hinting at her, “Exactly. I think so, too. Now it’s so difficult to find such a good man like him. His girlfriend must be quite happy.”

Stella smiled and encouraged her, “Good, Sherry. If you like him, go after him.”

Sherry choked up.

Why their conversation went differently as she expected.

She cleared her throat with a cough, “I didn’t mean myself... Don’t you...”

“Hey, Sherry. Hi, Stella.”

They heard Emmett’s voice in front.

Sherry looked up and put on a smile. She waved at him and said, “You came out, too.”

Emmett answered, “I came out for answering a call.”

After a pause, he said, “There were too many people at the table just now. I haven’t greeted you girls properly. Long time no see.”

Sherry noticed that when Emmett spoke the last words, he was staring at Stella.

Instantly, she understood something and was delighted.

She had confidence in her matchmake

Stella smiled and answered, “Yeah. Long time no see.”

Actually, Emmett had gone abroad quite early when he finished the second year in college.

In the two years, Stella didn’t talk to him much. They were just ordinary classmates.

Sherry pretended to have a call on her phone. She pulled it out and said, “Well... I need to answer a call. Please suit yourselves.”

Stella watched her leave in silence.

When Sherry trotted away, Emmett found a subject to break the awkwardness, “I heard that you were working for SG Jewelry Magazine before. Are you still working there?”

“Nope. Sherry and I have our own studio now.”

Emmett nodded, “That’s great. Are you still doing the jewelry design?”

“Yeah. We also have photography and other services.”

Emmett raised his eyebrows and smiled, “May I have your contact number, please? I can call you if I want to find you in the future.”

“Of course.” Stella pulled out her phone and tried to find the subject, “You must be quite busy. If you need designed jewelry, please call me. I’ll go to your company directly.”

“Thank you in advance, then.”

Stella smiled, “You are welcome.”

When Clarence arrived, he saw Stella chatting with a man happily, a smile written all over her face.

He paused his pace and pulled a long face, emanating a cold aura.

Seeing that, Nathan couldn’t help but take a few steps away from him.

Clarence pressed his thin lips, strode over to them, and called her in a cold tone, “Stella.”

Upon hearing his voice, Stella closed her eyes. She inhaled slightly and said to Emmett immediately, “Let’s keep in touch. I’m busy with something. I’ve got to go now.”

Before Emmett responded, Stella turned around and trotted away in a hurry.

Emmett frowned, looking around to see the aggressive man. He reached out his hand to block Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, why are you here?”

Clarence stopped, casting him a glance.

Nathan whispered, “Star Ferry Technology, Mr. Carter.”

Clarence said, “I don’t know him.”

Emmett had heard that Clarence was arrogant long ago. He didn’t take it to heart. He said, “Mr. Conrad, we met each other at a business cocktail party. Just once. I’m not surprised that you don’t remember me.”

Clarence wasn’t in the mood to continue talking to him. He was about to walk forward but was stopped by Emmett again.
