Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 211

On the next day, in the Conrad Group…

Stella had been walking slowly ever since she entered the building. She didn’t want to go upstairs at all.

After a long while, the phone in her bag rang.

It was a call from Nathan.

But Clarence’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone when she picked up the call.

He said in an indifferent tone, “Are you only going upstairs after cleaning the floor tiles of the lobby?”

“…”

Florence lifted her head and looked around. Were there surveillance cameras?

Clarence continued, “Hurry up. I have to attend a meeting later.”

“I see.”

Stella shifted her gaze and walked into the lift.

In the office, Clarence threw the phone back to Nathan, “Go to the door of the lift to pick her up. Don’t let her run away.

Nathan, “…”

Why did he feel that it was like Stella was on the way to an execution ground?

Five minutes later, Stella showed up in the office.

Leaning against the sofa with his slender legs crossed, Clarence clicked one of his knees gently, looking indifferent and nonchalant.

Stella walked towards him and stood in front of him, “Mr. Conrad.”

“Take a seat.”

Stella moved her lips trying to say something. But in the end, she pressed her lips together and sat opposite to him.

Nathan entered the office with two cups of coffee after a short while and left quietly.

Stella lowered her head. She took a glance at the tea table and said seriously, “Mr. Conrad, I will be responsible for all the negative impacts on Winnie.”

Clarence picked up a cup of coffee. He took a sip and said in a flat tone, “How will you be responsible?”

“I will try my best to be cooperative if you have any solution.”

“Stella Radomil, do you know why you create troubles frequently?”

Stella didn’t reply.

Clarence said in a calm voice, “It’s because you always like to take the responsibility for some matters that have nothing to do with you.”

Clarence looked at him and replied calmly, “Chan is not an outsider for me. He’s my younger brother and his trouble is also mine. But I don’t expect Mr. Conrad to understand it. After all, only human being would have such an emotion.”

Clarence, “…”

He looked up and fixed his eyes on her, “Remember what you have said. You’ll be responsible until it’s solved.”

“I will not go back on my words as long as your requests are within an appropriate and reasonable range.”

Clarence put down the cup of coffee and curled his lips into a smile, “Great.”

Stella inexplicably had a feeling that she had fallen into a trap.

She stood up and said, “Then I will go back first. Mr. Conrad, if you have any problem, you can ask Mr. Lance to contact me.”

Clarence said, “I have a problem now.”

“Please tell me.”

Clarence lifted his hand and took a glance at his wristwatch, “I have to attend a meeting now. Wait for me in my office. You’re not allowed to leave before I come back.”

“But…”

“It doesn’t matter if you want to leave. I never force others to do something against their wills.”

Stella was shocked.

Wouldn’t he felt ashamed when saying this?

Clarence slowly shifted his gaze onto her and said word by word, “The one who created this trouble should be responsible for it.”

Stella closed her eyes and sat on the sofa again, “Mr. Conrad, I will wait for you here.”

Clarence asked slowly, “Why do I feel that you’re not that willing?”

Stella forced a smile. She gritted her teeth, “Mr. Conrad. It must be your illusion.”

“That’s good. Otherwise, someone will accuse me of pestering her again.”

“…”

Fuck off, you wretched man!

Clarence turned around and took a glance at Stella when he walked out of the office. Stella immediately withdrew her gaze, looked at the place in front of her and straightened her back.

He said, “There’s a lounge in my office. You can have a rest there if you feel sleepy.”

Stella ignored his words, pretending that she didn’t hear it.

When the door of the office was closed, she heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the sofa.

She looked dejected.

After a short while, she received a call from Winnie.

Winnie said, “I’m so busy today and I saw your missed call just now.”

Stella asked, “Is it solved?”

“Er… It’s a bit difficult to solve it. Although the discussion on this matter has been cooled down, it still has some impact on my subsequent work.”

“Did it bring a big loss to the Conrad Group?”

“I’m not clear of it. But at present all of my work is suspended. Mr. Conrad asked me to go abroad for voca… exactly, to keep myself away from this trouble. Of course it will bring loss to the company when my work is suspended.”

Stella nodded her head, “I see. Thank you for helping Channing.”

“You’re welcome. Your brother is like my brother. How could I just stand by?”

“Then enjoy your holiday abroad. I will deal with this matter.”

Winnie asked in a low voice, “Did you come to Mr. Conrad?”

“I’m in his office.”

Winnie coughed and found an excuse, “All right, I have to board the plan. Let’s chat later.”

“Okay.”

Stella stayed in the office during the whole day. An assistant sent her a lunch at noon, but she didn’t eat it.

She was a clear attitude now – she was here to cooperate with them to solve the problem and she would not have any entanglement with that wretched man again.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Clarence finally came back from the meeting. He noticed that Stella was still sitting on the sofa with the same posture.

He strode towards her, “Have you eaten anything?”

Stella replied in a flat tone, “Mr. Conrad, do you have any solutions for this matter?”

Clarence pressed his eyebrows, “If you haven’t had anything, eat something together with me.”

“Mr. Conrad, if you haven’t figured out a solution, I can come here tomorrow.”

“What do you want to eat?”

Stella, “…”

They were talking about two topics!

Clarence picked up his suit jacket, “Let’s go to the restaurant.”

After a short while of silence, Stella couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Conrad, I think you should go to the hospital to check your hearing.”

“Good idea. And you can check your conscience.”

Stella didn’t want to argue with him. She followed her out of the company and then stopped, “Mr. Conrad, I…”

Clarence looked askance at her and then tilted his head, “Get on the car first.”

Stella took a deep breath and got on the car.

Clarence hadn’t said anything after getting on the car. When Stella pondered that he was fooling her again, he handed her a document, “Winnie’s personal image somehow represents the image of the Conrad Group. So it’s a seriously negative scandal for both her career and the Conrad Group.”

Stella took the document from him and asked in a low voice, “Is it more serious than your regret of the engagement?”

Clarence looked at her emotionlessly, “I’m not joking with you.”

Stella immediately became serious, “I’m sorry.”

Clarence continued, “There’s only one way to recover the damage at present.”

Stella leafed through the document and heard it carefully. Clarence didn’t deceive her. The document showed that Winnie’s work had been suspended. Moreover, it also brought problems to several projects of the Conrad Group.

She looked up at him and asked, “Mr. Conrad, what should I do?”
