Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

As soon as Stella went back to the studio, Sherry trotted over, pulling her into the lounge, “How did it go? What did the police say? Is there any result?”

Stella shook her head, “Not yet. They just asked me what happened.”

Sherry clicked her tongue, “It seems Arthur Barnett has offended a lot of people. It should be quite difficult to find out the murderer in a short time.”

Stella happened to be a bit thirsty. She turned around and picked up a glass to get some water. She said slowly, “I also met Modesty Parker in the police station.”

“Modesty Parker? Why was she there?”

“Same as me, doing the record.” Stella took a few sips of the water and continued, “But, I always feel...”

Sherry asked, “What do you feel?”

Stella returned to her senses, shaking her head, “Nothing. We’d better wait for the investigation result disclosed by the police.”

Sherry said, “Oh, by the way, Doreen and I want to hang out in the bar we went to last time. Why don’t you join us? Let’s relax. I also invited Daniel. Would you like to invite that wretched man?”

“Better not. He’s angry with me recently.”

Since last night till now, the wretched didn’t send her a message or called her. In the morning, she sent him a message to greet him, but he didn’t answer her at all.

Sherry said directly, “All right. Just ignore him, then. We’ll enjoy ourselves more without him.”

Stella exhaled, “Forget it. You guys have fun. I need to deal with the design drafts. I’m still behind the schedule.”

Upon hearing it, Sherry didn’t insist, “Okay. Don’t work too late. Go home early.”

Stella said with a smile, “Okay, I will.”

For the whole afternoon, Stella stayed in the office and finished several drafts.

After finishing the last one today, she stretched. It was already dark outside. She checked the time - it was eleven o’clock in the evening.

Stella didn’t expect that it turned out to be so late.

She picked up her cell phone and checked. The wretched man still hadn’t replied to her message.

What a petty man!

Stella packed her belongings. While walking out of the office, she called Nathan.
