Nathaniel was washing his hands. Seeing Stella suddenly break in, he showed a gloomy face.
“What are you doing here?” He said in a low voice. Raising his hand to cover Stella’s eyes, he pulled her out.
Nathaniel’s hands were slightly cold and wet, but Stella’s face was red.
He didn’t let go of her until they walked outside.
“Mr. Beaumont, what a coincidence,” Stella blushed and stammered.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence.” Nathaniel glanced at Stella coldly. He didn’t believe there was such a coincidence.
Nathaniel thought Stella followed him here to create an
encounter.
He thought, “She has so many tricks.”
Seeing his eyes, Stella understood his doubts and explained, “You misunderstood. I came to work. I didn’t go in on purpose. The robot showed me the wrong way. I didn’t know you were there. I mean, I won’t go in no matter who is there.”
As Stella spoke, her face turned red because she wanted to go to

The toilet.
“Mr. Beaumont, please wait for a while.”

Stella gave Nathaniel the notebook in her hand and entered the
women’s restroom.
Nathaniel looked down at the notebook in his hand. It was indeed Stella’s notes of the science and technology exhibition.
There were some parts she wrote wrongly and some parts she didn’t understand.
Judging from the notes, Nathaniel could tell that she didn’t have time to follow him at all.
Was it a misunderstanding?
Nathaniel scanned a few pages and picked up the pen from the
folder.
After going to the toilet, Stella felt relaxed, but she was still embarrassed when she thought that she accidentally walked into the men’s restroom just now.
Fortunately, Nathaniel was washing his hands. If he…
Stella quickly washed her face with cold water and stopped woolgathering.
Walking out of the bathroom, she approached Nathaniel embarrassedly.

“Mr. Beaumont…”

“Let’s go.” Nathaniel returned the notebook to Stella and walked towards the exhibition hall.
“What?”
“I’m here to work, too.”
Nathaniel wanted to see if today’s encounter was planned by
Stella.
He thought, “She hooked up with Isaac and came to me now. What on earth does she want to do?
The exhibition hall is full of professional products. As a non–professional, she can’t stay there at all, and her lies will be exposed.”
Stella didn’t think too much. Instead, she thought it would be better to have a professional by her side.
Therefore, she followed Nathaniel.
Not long after they entered the hall, they saw a service robot.
Coincidentally, this was the same robot that showed her the way just now.
“Miss, we meet again.”

“It’s bad.” Stella pressed her lips.

The robot blinked its big eyes, and a few lines of words appeared on the screen. It read them out loud, “Miss, I have searched for several ways to solve constipation for you. I hope they will be helpful to you…”
Stella blushed and covered the robot’s mouth, but it was of no use at all. The robot continued to read.
Stella felt very awkward.
Seeing Stella’s panicked look, Nathaniel laughed.
He said, “Its player is on the back. You covered the wrong place.”
For a moment, everyone turned to look at Stella. Stella helplessly covered her face, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Nathaniel came over and pulled her behind him.
He tapped on the screen of the robot a few times, and various characters immediately appeared. After a few taps, the robot blinked its eyes and came back to normal.
“Hello, may I help you?” The robot asked.
“No.”
Stella shook her head and didn’t dare to let the robot help her
again.

Nathaniel waved his hand, and the robot turned and left.

He casually said, “The robot’s program went wrong, so it gave you the wrong directions. It’s not your fault.”
Stella paused for a moment and said, “Thank you.”
After saying that, Stella awkwardly lowered her head. She felt like Nathaniel had witnessed her most embarrassing moment.
To her surprise, Nathaniel didn’t laugh at her for that.
Nathaniel’s reaction reminded Stella of Jack. During their three years together, Stella would sometimes make mistakes. Every time, Jack would mock her with schadenfreude.
“Look at you. This is so embarrassing, isn’t it? Who else can tolerate you except me?” Stella remembered Jack saying something like that before.
In Stella’s memory, Jack had never helped her solve any problems as Nathaniel did. Instead, he would only caution her to be careful after everything was resolved.
Stella felt foolish for choosing to be with Jack in the past.
As Stella thought about the past, she felt a bit angry but was quickly drawn to the lively exhibition ahead.
She walked quickly towards it, standing side by side with Nathaniel in front of the stage and listening to the host’s

definition and vision of technology.
Hearing that, Stella felt a surge of excitement.

She eagerly opened her notebook to take notes, but she was surprised to find that someone had corrected the wrong parts and added answers to the parts she was confused about.
Since she had only given her notebook to Nathaniel, Stella turned to him and said, “Mr. Beaumont, thank you.”
Because of the crowd around them, Nathaniel didn’t hear what Stella said clearly. He leaned over and asked, “What did you say?”
“I said…”
Stella raised the notebook and was about to say thank you, but she was pushed hard by the crowd and accidentally kissed Nathaniel on the cheek over the notebook.
Nathaniel was stunned, clearly not expecting this to happen.
Stella blinked. Besides the scent of ink, she also caught a whiff of the tobacco aroma emanating from Nathaniel, causing her heart
to race.
The loud applause snapped her back to reality.
Stella quickly turned around and said, “Thank you. No, I’m sorry.”

“That’s fine.” Nathaniel clenched his fist, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

Stella held her notebook tightly and stole a glance at Nathaniel. Seeing his usual cold and indifferent expression, Stella thought he probably didn’t care about the accident just now.
Just as she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Nathaniel’s cold voice sounded.
He asked, “Your notebook has many mistakes. It’s obvious that you’re not familiar with this. So, why did you come? You don’t need to do this.”
Nathaniel thought to himself, “After all, she has already cozied up to Isaac.”
After hearing Nathaniel’s words, Stella couldn’t help but look up at him.
She asked, “Mr. Beaumont, did you know all this from the beginning?”
“More or less,” Nathaniel replied indifferently.
“Indeed, intelligent people seem to live in a different world,” Stella thought. She pressed her lips and then continued, “Mr. Beaumont, there aren’t so many smart people in the world. Ordinary people like me can only rely on hard work to climb up. Do you think there are really so many people willing to run around outside on such a hot day? Everyone is compelled by life. No matter what difficulties I encounter at work, I have no other

choice but to figure it out because I don’t want to give up.”
After saying that, Stella smiled at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel looked at Stella’s smile and remained silent.
Stella didn’t want to say anything more. She lowered her head and continued taking notes, searching for a breakthrough in her field.
“You made a mistake,” Nathaniel said deeply.
“Okay.” Stella lowered her head to correct it, suddenly feeling inexplicably harmonious being around Nathaniel.
Afterward, the two of them visited several more exhibition halls. Whenever Stella didn’t fully understand something, Nathaniel would casually say a few words. He didn’t speak much, but everything he said was useful.
Stella scribbled and doodled in her notebook based on the knowledge she heard, outlining a rough plan for an opening
ceremony.
Stella felt that her visit was worthwhile this time. At least, after seeing this exhibition, she had a clear direction.
At this moment, Nathaniel received a phone call.
“Okay, I’ll be there right away,” he said.
Seeing his serious expression, Stella knew that the phone call

must be about work.
Stella said, “Mr. Beaumont, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead. I should go back to the office.”
Nathaniel nodded and turned to leave.
Stella had gotten used to his cold demeanor and just walked towards the exit.
Just as she walked out of the door, Stella was bumped by two men in suits, and her notebook fell to the ground.
She quickly picked up her notebook, but the two men who bumped into her didn’t apologize and continued walking inward.
“Has Nate arrived?” One of them asked.
“Yes, I heard he has already been there for a while,” the other replied.
“Hurry up. I must meet this big shot today.”
Stella knew that Nate was the boss of the Dalla Technology
Group.
Hearing their conversation, Stella didn’t bother to ask for an apology and quickly turned around to catch up with the two
men.
A group of people ahead were chasing after someone and

heading towards a side door.
She quickened her pace and started running. Suddenly, Stella caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar face that looked like Nathaniel.
