The Mighty Dragon Warrior

Stella looked at him sincerely, “Mr. Conrad, after this meal, can you…”

“No way.”

Stella furrowed her brows, “I haven’t finished my words.”

Clarence glanced at her inadvertently, “Stella Radomil, I’m not here to bargain with you.”

“Mr. Conrad, are you compelling me?”

Clarence said slowly, “Didn’t you think that you were also compelling me when you asked me to take

back your brother’s admission letter?”

Stella, “…”

She asked, “Do you mean that I can return your favor if I accompany you to the meal, Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence inexplicably knitted his brows, “Almost. After all, you owe me many favors.”

Stella asked expressionlessly, “Mr. Conrad, do you mean that you will not let go of me?”

Perceiving the coldness in her tone of voice, Clarence turned his head to look at her with a displeased

expression, “Stella Radomil, when Emmett came to find you, you looked so happy. But when I came to

find you, you said I will not let go of you?”

“Clarence, you can ask yourself, are you a match for Emmett?” Before Clarence got mad, Stella

continued, “Will you ask for my opinion and not force me to do something that I don’t want to do?”

Clarence replied righteously, “Nope.”

She wished him to stay away from her as possible as he could. If he didn’t resort to these excuses,

how could he appear in front of her again?

“…”

It was the first time for her to see something regard shamelessness as a normal thing.

Clarence stood up, “There’s little time left. You have to select a dress later. Hurry up.”

Stella was the only one in the studio today. She quickly stood up and walked to her office to pack up

her things and then took a lock form the reception desk. She said to the man standing aside coldly, “Mr.

Conrad, please go out. I’m going to lock the door.”

Clarence said, “I will wait for you outside.”

Clarence didn’t worry that Stella would run away. After all, she couldn’t escape to anywhere.

When locking the door, Stella gritted her teeth so tightly as if she wished so much to chop Clarence into

pieces.

He came to torture her from time to time. Now in such a snowy weather, he even forced her to

accompany him to a socializing meal.

All right. She could come with him, but if she would mess up the meal as a return for what he had done

to her recently.

After locking the door, Stella found that Clarence’s car was parked by the roadside. When she was

about to rush into the snow, an umbrella suddenly shield the snow for her above her head.

Sending her gaze, Clarence looked askance at her and moved his thin lips, “What are you looking at?”

Stella snorted, “I don’t need your pretentious care.”

After finishing the words, she put the cap of her hoodie and directly ran into the snow.

Seeing this, Clarence pressed his lips together and slowly followed her.

The meal was scheduled at the seven o’clock this evening. When they arrived at the hotel, it was

already dark.

After parking the car, a waiter of the hotel pulled open the car door for them.

When Stella was about to get off the car, a hand that had clear and symmetrical knuckles was reached

out in front of her.

She slightly looked up and saw the tall and slender build of a man and then his stunning features.

Behind him was the snow flying all over the sky.

This scene was inexplicably like the scene when he reached out his hand to her and helped her aboard

the yacht before.

Recalling that happy time, Stella felt like a stone was thrown into the waveless lake in her heart, which

caused ripples of emotions.

She hesitated for a while and slowly reached out her hand. She then slapped away his hand, lifted her

dress and got off the car.

Clarence, “…”

Nathan, who stood behind them with an umbrella in his hand, hurriedly shifted his gaze and pretended

that he hadn’t seen it.

Stella took several steps and then felt that her waist was wrapped by a hand.

She furrowed her brows, “Mr. Conrad…”

Clarence interrupted her in a flat tone, “Even though you were forced to here, you should pretend to be

my companion.”

Stella pressed her lips tightly and struggled for the last time, “But Mr. Conrad, I can’t walk if you hug me

like this.”

She hadn’t expected that this sentence would work. Clarence slowly loosened his grip.

When Stella secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, she saw Clarence slightly raised his arm and

looked askance at her. He said concisely, “Wrap my arm.”

Stella twitched her mouth. She could only make a concession.

At least this was better than what she faced just now.

Stella slowly raised her arm and put it around Clarence’s.

She didn’t notice that Clarence slightly curled his thin lips into a smile.

After entering the private room, Stella found that a middle-aged man, who was in his forties, was talking

into his phone in fluent English.

When he saw them, he talked a sentence into the phone and then ended the call. The man approached

them and reached out to Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, nice to meet you.”

Clarence also reached out his hand, “Mr. William, I’ve been admiring you.”

Stella stood aside, feeling it boring.

But based on her understanding of Clarence’s personality, Stella thought that since he was so polite to

the middle-aged man just now, it fully indicated that this cooperation was so important to him.

After a short while, William landed his gaze on Stella. He paused for several seconds and then asked,

“Who’s this lady.”

Clarence wrapped Stella’s waist again when he heard the words and introduced her to William, “This is

my wife.”

Stella immediately corrected him, “Ex-wife.”

Clarence said calmly, “She’s joking.”

Stella felt dissatisfied and struggled in his arms. But he then tightened the grip on her waist.

Stella didn’t know whether it was a deliberate movement or a warning.

William chuckled, “Looks like Mr. Conrad and Mrs. Conrad are so intimate.”

Stella would by no means miss any chance to resist against that wretched man, “We’re in poor

relationship. I divorced him long time ago.”

Clarence wasn’t angered. He smiled and explained, “We had a quarrel recently. She’s still angry at

me.”

Stella took the opportunity and used great force to pinch his waist. But out of her expectation, that

wretched man didn’t have any reaction.

William saw through their relationship, but he didn’t say anything about it. “Take a seat.”

The private room had a Chinese-styled decoration and there were some gauze curtains and screens,

making it look graceful and peaceful.

William picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea for Clarence and Stella.

Clarence and William were talking about their cooperation before the dishes were served.

When Stella entered the private room just now, she heard William speaking English fluently so she

thought that William was a foreigner. But she hadn’t expected that he also spoke Chinese fluently and

clearly. Moreover, he was so gentlemanly and elegant.

But Stella was suddenly confused – they arranged this meal for the sake of their cooperation and

William didn’t take a female companion here. Why did Clarence insist on her company?

After a short while, the door of the private room was opened and the dishes were served onto the table

one after another.

William stopped talking about the business with Clarence. He said with a smile, “Mr. Conrad, I’m

surprised that you’re so outstanding at such a young age. I only heard from others about you before,

but when meeting you and talking with you today, I’m so surprised.”

Clarence replied, “Thank you for your admiration. But you can’t believe in the rumors. I’m much more

outstanding.”
