After the shooting was done, Stella was responsible for the rest of publicity and promotion. Meanwhile, the online warm-up was also going quite smoothly.
But Sherry could still tell that Stella was not that happy.
She often looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze. No one could tell what she was thinking since she had been sitting there for the whole afternoon.
After Sherry was done with what she was doing, she walked to her and called, “Stella, Stella?”
Hearing someone calling her, Stella finally retracted her thoughts and confronted her gaze, “Yes? What's the matter?”
Sherry replied, “Nothing serious. I am just ordering afternoon tea. What do you want?”
Stella said, “I don't have much of an appetite. You go ahead.”
Sherry didn't leave in a hurry, but sat down and asked in a quiet voice, “Did you quarrel with Mr. Conrad?”
Upon hearing this, Stella paused and shook her head slightly, “No.”
“Then... Did some happen to Channing?”
Stella continued to shake her head.
Sherry asked tentatively, “Then what's wrong? What can I help you?”
Words were at the tip of her tongue, but Stella didn't know how to tell her the whole story, all these things. It was complicated and embarrassing.
She just rubbed her eyebrows, “It's nothing, maybe it's because I haven't rested well recently.”
Sherry suddenly remembered that she was getting ready for pregnancy. She smiled knowingly, “I know you're trying to have another baby, but you have to pay attention to your body. Mr. Conard is too indulged in this.”
Stella didn't know how she came to such a conclusion.
In order to prevent Sherry from talking any more nonsense, Stella got up and sent her out. And then she shut herself in the office, watching the sun setting in the distance.
After a long time, she retracted her gaze and stared at the empty draft book.
She hadn't drawn anything for several days.
When it was about to get off work, the medicine that Archer sent to her arrived, including the medicine for Sherry.
After returning home, Stella put the medicine in the refrigerator and send Sherry's medicine to her with the box.
She said to Sherry, “This is the medicine for a week. The medicine needs to be kept at a low temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator. Three times a day. After you finish them, Archer will send the rest of the medicine in the treatment.”
Sherry nodded, “I see, please do send my gratitude to him.”
Stella continued, “I have already told him about your mother's condition, but he has been a bit busy lately. Your mother's body also needs to recuperate slowly, and you may need to wait for a while.”
“Sure. No hurry. We can wait.”
“Okay, then, I'll go back first.”
“Stella.” Sherry stopped her and asked suspiciously, “You really didn't quarrel with Clarence, did you?”
Stella laughed, “Of course not.”
“If he bullies you, just tell me, I'll help you...help you scold him!”
“Don't worry, you don't know who is the bully here.”
Sherry was in awe of her instantly and couldn't help but give her a thumb up, “You are so awesome.”
It seemed that she was the only one who could actually "suppress" Clarence.
Stella smiled, “Well, I really have to go now. He'll be back for dinner in a while, I need to cook.”
“Right. Bye then!”
After Stella left, Sherry organized the refrigerator and put the medicine box in.
She cleared out many expired items in the refrigerator.
Most of them were bought while Daniel was still here.
All of these were fresh food and the shelf life was only a few days.
Clarence's voice was a little cold, “When did she started to take medicine?”
“Well... it’s been a while.”
Sherry was a little confused. Didn't Clarence know about this?
Clarence said, “Have you met her doctor?”
Sherry was even more confused, “I haven't met the doctor who sent her medicine. Um…the one from the James family. Stella said it's the doctor who's also taking care of the little one...”
Clarence pressed the elevator's door button, and strode out without a word.
Sherry scratched her eyebrows. Damn. Did she say something wrong?
She walked to the door of her room. Thinking about the look on Clarence's face just now, she was still a bit worried. She walked to their door and pressed her ears against it tightly.
No quarreling, please. She prayed.
Inside the department…
Stella had just cut the vegetables and was about to turn on the stove when she heard the sound of door opening.
She glanced out of the kitchen and said to Clarence, “You go take a shower first. The dinner ready when you're out...”
Before she could finish her words, Clarence had already walked up to her.
Looking at the man's solemn eyes, Stella whispered, “What's the matter?”
Clarence looked at her pointed chin and suddenly realized that Sherry was right, she had lost weight recently.
He raised his hand and touched her neck with his big palm. His voice was very low, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Stella was stunned, “No...”
“Then how come you've lost weight?”
Upon hearing the words, Stella subconsciously looked away, avoiding his gaze.
