Chapter 120

Stella’s actions landed me in a bit of a pickle. Simmons seemed to have a hunch about who I was chatting with and what was being discussed. In a soothing tone, he said, Don’t sweat it. I have a bunch of friends around here, or I can crash at a hotel. Don’t let Stella’s words get to you

The more Simmons talked, it made it harder for me

Simmons, it’s okay! It’s just for a few days. I have two rooms here, it’s pretty convenient, I replied graciously.

That’s very kind of you. I should be able to find a place in three days, Simmons replied, looking at me with sparkling eyes.

Well, I guessed he could stay for three days. After all, he was Stella’s brother

You’re up! Hurry up and eat so you can get to work,he said, taking off his apron and bringing over a plate of salad and sausages

I usually grab a bite at the convenience store, as I’m not a fan of getting up early to cook. I had to thank him for this.

Thanks!I said, stuffing my face with a bowl of noodles.

After finishing, I dashed off to work.

Unfortunately, I ran into Bonnie again at the office entrance. She had just gotten off her scooter. Without a second thought, I floored it and sped past her.

When it was time to get off work at noon, Bonnie suddenly popped up at our department’s entrance, causing a few male colleagueseyes to pop out
