Chapter 105

• Stella's eyes were wide awake at midnight, unable to sleep from the afternoon nightmare. That's why she recently got up and began organizing the design drafts. She worked online during her recent out-of-town absence. She should go back to SG Jewelry Magazine and report now that she's back in City N. Just as she was finishing up, Stella heard footsteps coming from the hallway.
• She heard the bedroom next door opening in the next moment. She surmised that Clarence had to have returned. Unconsciously, Stella looked at her phone and saw that it was one in the morning. She always thought the miserable man was rather inactive when they were on Anqiao Street. For the remainder of the time, he continued to bother her, with the exception of the rare occasions when he handled the paperwork that Nathan brought over.
• But as soon as he arrived back to City N, he became extremely busy. Stella felt famished after going through the manuscripts. She went downstairs to the kitchen, opened her door, and began rummaging through the pantry. She looked in the refrigerator at the food, but she was not hungry. Luckily, the ingredients were plentiful. She chose to prepare meals on her own.
