Stella wondered who shameless Modesty was to speak those words.
Leaning against the door next to her, she said indifferently, “I don’t know what’s in your mind when you negotiating with me. No matter for whose sake, I’m not gonna help you. I’ve been merciful for you as I haven’t told the police about the words you said at the gate of the police station.”
Modesty said fiercely, “Stella Radomil, you’ll regret it for sure!”
Stella smiled, “Okay. I’ll wait and see.”
Soon, the beeps were hard on the phone.
Stella put away her phone. She wasn’t in the mood to nap, so she made a coffee and went back to the office.
Sherry had woken up, yawning while peering out of the window in a daze. Seeing that Stella entered, Sherry rubbed her eyes, “Stella, where have you been?”
Stella said, “I was a bit sleepy, so I made a mug of coffee. Do you want it?”
Sherry nodded.
Stella handed the mug to her and went to the lounge to make a new one.
After drinking the coffee, Sherry was sitting there, waiting to get excited by the caffeine.
A moment later, she finally stood up, feeling spirited, “Stella, I’m a big hungry. I’m going to get some snacks. What do you want?”
Stella said, “Anything. I’m not picky.”
“Okay. I’ll buy whatever I like.”
Sherry stretched. Out of the studio, she walked towards the shopping mall nearby.
After she only took a few steps, Daniel followed her, “Hi! What a coincidence!”
Sherry was speechless.
Her mouth corners twitched, “Our stores are next to each other. That’s truly coincident.”
Daniel raised his brows. Without speaking anything more, he followed her into the shopping mall.
Sherry went to the dessert house in the basement. After she bought a few pastries, she went to the snack store to buy some snacks.
All the way, Daniel had been following her. He also suggested, “Buy this one. I saw its commercial on TV before. It should be quite tasty.”
Sherry didn’t answer him.
Daniel put two bags of the snack into her shopping basket. Then he looked aside, “That one is nice too. You girls should like it.”
As he spoke, he fetched a few bags and put them in the basket again.
Sherry choked up.
She turned around and looked at him, “Daniel, what on earth are you doing here?”
“Shopping with you.”
Sherry poked out her head and looked around, “Those stalkers haven’t stalked us. Don’t fake it. Bye!”
In fact, the stalkers didn’t only follow them this time, but also they stopped stalking Daniel already, as Sherry had found out. However, Daniel always appeared around her from time to time as usual and always sent her home. That was why she felt annoyed.
He had been acting too much.
Daniel smiled. He didn’t answer but continued helping her choose the snack.
In the end, under his gaze, Sherry got a few canned food. While paying the bill, she asked the saleswoman for an extra sack. Then she put the canned food in the sack and gave it to him, “They are for you. Just take it. Thank you for accompanying me.”
Daniel was speechless.
Sherry instantly felt the goosebumps. However, since she was in front of the scumbag Liam, she didn’t push Daniel away. She answered, “Probably a homeless. He said something quite inexplicable to me.”
“Sherry, you...”
Daniel looked over at Liam and asked indifferently, “Do you need any help?”
Liam was half-head shorter than Daniel. Besides, Daniel was mixed-race. His features were with sharp outlines. After Daniel cast Liam a glance, the latter’s temperament became weaker.
Daniel took over the bag in Sherry’s hand, put down his hand on her shoulder, and grabbed her hand with it, “Let’s go home. I’ll cook for you.”
Upon hearing his intimate tone, Sherry tried hard not to pull out her hand. She followed him to leave.
Liam turned around to gaze at their receding figures, gritting his teeth reluctantly.
Out of the mall, Sherry pulled her hand out, wiping the sweat off her palm on her trousers. She looked away awkwardly, “Thank you so much just now.”
Daniel asked, “For what?”
Sherry parted her lips, and she also didn’t know what to thank him for. Hence, she didn’t answer.
However, Daniel was silent for a while and asked, “Is that man your ex-boyfriend?”
“Nope.”
Daniel was puzzled.
Sherry sneered, “He’s someone waiting for me to worship him at his graveyard.”
Daniel was silent.
He pressed a fist on his lips, coughing. Suddenly, he felt that Sherry was quite merciful for him.
