Taya was still huddled in the corner, motionless. Seeing him come in with some clothes, her eyelashes trembled slightly Griffon glanced at her, but he didn’t dare to go up to her. He just put the clothes on the sofa beside her.
She watched his cold and arrogant figure leave before she looked away and glanced at the dress. She lifted the quilt, picked up the dress and put it on. She went to the bathroom and washed her face. After washing off the tears on her face, she tidied up her messy hair before coming out of the room. She saw Griffon standing in front of the French window. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, making him glow with a faint golden light.
When he heard the movement behind him, he turned around, and looked at her dress with deep, sad eyes. “White really looks good on you She had been wearing mainly red since returning to the country, which did not suit her at all. Feeling uncomfortable, Taya spake lightly, “I’ll get going first.” Then, she lowered her head and walked directly to the door. Griffon clenched his fists tightly, and the moment she pushed the door open, he followed her, “I’ll send you back.” Taya turned to look at him and said politely, “Thank you but there’s no need.” She turned around and closed the door. After pausing for a few seconds, she walked towards the elevator without looking back. The man in the mansion looked at the door, and the moment it was closed, his body went cold. He fell onto the sofa and looked at the spacious and empty room, feeling like he had lost a piece of his heart.
God snatched Taya from Silas and gave her to him, but he didn’t cherish her. Right then, things had turned out this way. He deserved it and he couldn’t blame anyone… After sitting there for nearly an hour, he took out his mobile phone and called Andre. How is the acquisition of the Sterling pack going?” Andre, who was on the other end of the phone, was on a blind date. Hearing Griffon’ question, he hurriedly got up and walked out of the restaurant. “Alpha Knight, the Sterling pack has become smarter, they are refusing the acquisition. It’s probably because of the previous capital injection and the taking of their shares. Now, Sterling pack has collapsed due to the competition for shares. Everyone has some shares in their hands, and Knight pack has now become the second largest shareholder, so they have become vigilant…” Who is the main shareholder now?” “It was originally Jackson’s cousin, but he was forced to sell the shares to Jackson’s second uncle. He’s also the guy who wanted to kill Jackson.” Send me his information.” Griffon ordered indifferently, and hung up the phone. Andre looked at the darkened screen.
Then, he turned around and went back to the restaurant. He glanced at Stella, then at the girl whom he was meant to be on a blind date with, with an apologetic expression on his face. I’m sorry but I have something urgent to deal with so I have to go back to the company now! Andre picked up his blazer that was placed on the chair, and said, “Stella, remember to send her home earlier.” Stella was baffled. It was fine for asking a favor from her, but Andre actually asked her to send the woman back earlier. Wouldn’t that be embarra*sing for the lady? Her cousin was indeed a fool. He didn’t know anything about relationships, and he was always so busy with work. She didn’t know when he would ever find a wife. After complaining in her heart, Stella withdrew her gaze. Embarra*sed, she looked at the overwhelmed woman sitting next to her. “Dr. Rodriguez, my cousin is Alpha Knight’ special a*sistant, so he is usually busy. Please don’t take it to heart.” Dr. Rodriguez was an excellent surgeon in Stella’s hospitalShe was beautiful, kind, gentle and demure.
However, Andre was only focused on eating. He didn’t even look at Dr. Rodriguez. He was really very clueless. Dr. Rodriguez was very understanding. “It’s okay, I’m usually busy with work too.” Stella nodded with a smile, and she suddenly didn’t know what to say to ease the atmosphere that Andre had messed Dr. Rodriguez glanced at Stella. She was very intuitive, so she picked up the knife and fork and picked up a piece of steak. She put it in her mouth and ate it. “Your cousin was here just now, so I didn’t dare to eat. Fortunately, he left. Otherwise, I would have starved to death…” Dr. Rodriguez’s bold and casual way of eating made Stella relax. While the two were eating and chatting, Eric walked into the restaurant with a woman.
The moment he saw Stella, he subconsciously wanted to let go of the woman, but Stella already saw him. Stella didn’t respond at all. She looked away as if she didn’t see him, and continued chatting with Dr. Rodriguez. Seeing that Stella was neither angry nor did she question him, Eric’s handsome face suddenly sank. He took the woman’s hand and deliberately chose to sit next to Stella and Dr. Rodriguez. Then, propping his chin on one hand, he looked sideways at Stella, “Ms. Cobb, what a coincidence…” Stella thought that he would treat her as a stranger as usual, and she didn’t expect him to greet her. She put down the knife and fork in her hand, forced a perfunctory smile, and smiled sideways. “Mr. Sinclair, why are you in Arcadia?” Eric raised his eyebrows casually. “I missed my woman. It’s been a long time since I last touched her, so I came over…” Stella knew who he was talking about. She lowered her head, and put on a shy look, but she did not reply to his words. Her appearance made Eric’s anger dissipate, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. “Ms. Cobb, I have an academic question that I need to ask you for advice.
Do you have time tonight?” Stella glanced at the woman sitting across from Eric, and noticed that she was staring at her angrily. Stella looked up with her beautiful eyes, and with a cold smile on her face, she replied, “I do.” Eric turned around and looked at the woman opposite him, Betty, I’m sorry, but academics are important, so I won’t have dinner with you tonight.” Seeing that Eric was obviously interested in Stella, Betty was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, she was a lady from a noble family, and she was not allowed to lose her temper in public, so she held back her anger. Seeing her pick up her bag and coat and leave, Eric looked at Dr. Rodriguez. As a well-known Stella in the medical field, Dr. Rodriguez recognized him. She knew that he often came to the hospital to find the director. It was self-evident what the relationship between him and Stella was, so Dr. Rodriguez was very sensible and found a excuse to leave. After driving everyone away, Eric raised his finger and gestured at Stella to go over to him. Stella got up reluctantly and sat beside him. Eric grabbed her waist, buried his head in her hair and sniffed the familiar scent of her body. He whispered in her ear, “Did you miss me?” There was no emotion in Stella’s eyes, but there was a smile on her face. With a shy smile, she answered, “Yes…”
She felt numb as Eric bit her earlobe and said to her, “Let’s go to another place to eat, huh?” Before Stella could nod, Eric clasped his hand around her waist and pulled her. He then picked her up and walked outside quickly. It must have been a long time since he saw her. Eric carried her into the luxury car and couldn’t wait to do it with her. Stella pushed him and reminded him, “Not here. There are too many people.
