Just as Stella was finding Sandra strange, Christina nudged her.
“Stella, it’s time to get off work. What are you thinking about?”
After hearing her words, Stella stood up to tidy up. As she turned around, she saw Christina, wearing red high heels, touching up her makeup.
“Christina, what…what are you doing?”
Christina gave a mysterious smile: “I have a blind date tonight. How do I look? I’m pretty, aren’t I?”
Speaking, she turned around in front of Stella. As a result, she twisted her ankle and almost fell. Fortunately, Stella reached out and helped her.
“Blind date? I thought you hated blind dates? You once said that blind dates are an insult to women.”
“Um…this time it’s different. The matchmaker said that he is a returnee from overseas. He owns a company and even has a villa in the Mountus District, worth at least a million dollars. He only asks that his partner be gentle and willing to take care of the family. Isn’t that just describing me?”
Christina, carrying her bag, instantly transformed into a gentle and tranquil young girl.

Stella, however, found it strange and kindly warned her, “If he really is that wealthy, it would be easy for him to find a wife.
He wouldn’t need to go on blind dates. And often, those who only put forth one condition will later bring up more additional terms. Be careful. Don’t get fooled.”
After hearing her words, Christina pursed her lips, very unhappy.
“Stella, can’t you think positively? If I marry into a wealthy
family, the first person I would consider is you. By then, I would introduce your husband to work at my husband’s company. His salary would definitely not be low.”
“But…”
“Alright, enough said. I’ve called a car and I’m running late. I have to go now.”
Christina didn’t wait for Stella to finish speaking, she left first.
Stella sighed, tidied up the things on the table, and prepared to leave.
Just as she reached the office door, she heard Harley’s voice.
“Stella, come in for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Stella set down her bag and entered Harley’s office.

Behind her, a figure emerged from the tea room.
It was Sandra.

Sandra glanced at the tightly closed door of Harley’s office, then looked in the direction where Christina had disappeared. She smiled and followed Christina’s footsteps.
She thought, “Stella, you want to compete with me? I will leave you with nothing.”
Walking into the office, Stella stood quietly.
“Mr. Barnes, is there anything else?”
“There’s nothing of great importance. The boss has scheduled a presentation time with Dalla Technology Group. We are going to Dalla Technology Group together next Tuesday at ten in the morning. As long as Dalla Technology Group signs the contract, you will be the deputy director.”
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Barnes.”
Stella was very happy. Diane was having surgery on Monday, and the timing was just right, not conflicting.
“Get off work. Sorry for taking up your time.”
Harley’s sudden politeness took Stella aback. She was a bit uncomfortable, but she didn’t say anything, smiling as she left the office.

After work, she first went to the hospital.

When Stella walked into the ward, Heilyn was wiping Diane’s body.
Stella stepped forward to fasten the buttons on Diane’s clothes, then gently took her hand.
The hand with a thin layer of cocoon gave Stella an endless sense of security.
Seeing the situation, Heilyn carried the basin of water out of the curtain, giving enough space for the mother and daughter.
After a good while, Stella finally lifted the curtain, gratefully looking at Heilyn who was drying the towels.
“Heilyn, thank you.”
“This is what I should do, Ms. Edwards. Rest assured. The doctor said this morning that your mother has met the surgical criteria. Everything will go smoothly.”
“Alright. I’ll ask the doctor about the surgical preparations. I might have to go home early today. Could you please take care of my mother here?”
“Go ahead. I will take good care of her.”
Heilyn smiled kindly.

Stella felt relieved, then turned and went to the doctor’s office.
Although the doctor said that Diane’s condition is relatively stable now, the risk of surgery is still very high. The doctor told Stella to be prepared for the worst.
Stella was panicked. But she knew that if the surgery wasn’t performed, Diane would surely die.
After thanking the doctor, Stella left the hospital directly. On the way back, her mind was a bit confused, but she still took the time to send a message to Christina on WhatsApp.
“Christina, is everything going well?”
“Christina, if anything feels wrong, leave immediately.”
“I understand, I understand.”
Christina sent an emoji in a perfunctory manner and didn’t reply anymore.
Stella was speechless, thinking to herself, “Forget it. She’s already an adult. She knows what she should do.”
Stella saw Nathaniel’s shoes neatly arranged on the rack as soon as she got home.
Nathaniel was sitting on a deep brown sofa, dressed in a suit. His legs were crossed, looking like the captivating male lead on a poster.

He instantly gave the simple living room an indescribable sense of luxury.
Looking at him, Stella couldn’t help but stand still.
