Stella followed the direction of her gaze and nodded. “It does seem that way.”
“Don’t you think that this man is so captivating, so sensible, yet so unapproachable, so condescending, and so rejecting?”
For a moment there, Stella went speechless.
Then she echoed. “You are right.”
Isn’t he? And look at his face. He’s just so charming.
Stella nodded.
Lucas was indeed an attractive man. Otherwise, Yvonne would not be so enamored of him.

Lucas thought it was him who did not treat him well and hurt him, so he said, “If it hurts, just bear with it.”
“What pain could I feel with the anesthetic?”
Weston swept a glance at him and said with a cold tone.
Lucas was not sure if it was his illusion, but he had a feeling that Weston wasn’t looking at him in a too- friendly way.
He took care of Weston’s wound quickly, stitching it with a long needle without causing him any pain.
When Weston heard Stella praising another man, however, he felt as if his heart was being stabbed with a knife repeatedly. It was the worst torment he had ever had to bear.
Only when the effect of the anesthetic started wearing off did he feel the piercing pain.
“Come here,” he said to Stella.
She did not move and only looked at Yvonne. “Is it over?”
“Yes.” Yvonne had stars in her eyes as she watched Lucas walk toward her.
Stella sighed helplessly and stood up. “I’ll be leaving since he is fine now. We will meet again next time. We didn’t get to eat today, so I will give you guys a treat next time.”
“Sure!” Yvonne had totally forgotten her friend and was immersed in Lucas‘ beauty.
Lucas cleaned up the equipment and glanced at her. He took off the gloves and rubbed her head. “Alright, stop looking at me. I will bring you somewhere to eat. You should be
hungry?”
She nodded, and the lovely couple walked away.
Weston’s heart felt very uncomfortable. Seeing Stella was about to leave, he jumped to his feet and hugged her from the back.
“Don’t go.”

He rubbed against her neck and said in a husky voice in her ear, “Stay with me.”
She frowned immediately in annoyance and pulled his hands away. “I’m sorry, but I have something else to do. I don’t think you were invited to the dinner today, right? You
came here on your own.”
She asked, “Was it Yvonne who told you about it, or Lucas?”
He did not answer.
She guessed. “It must be Lucas, right? If you keep doing this, I will not come out again.”
“Don’t, please…”
He suddenly lowered his voice and hugged her more tightly with one hand while latching on to her firmly with the other to prevent her from leaving. “Didn’t I say I would give
you my company? Would you stay by my side?”
She said, “I am sorry. I changed my mind. Didn’t Ms. Hampton tell you? I did not sign the document, and I will never do so. Ford Corporation is still yours, so there is no
relationship between you and me.”
