"Noah." Oliver called several times in a row, "Noah? Are you even listening?"
Liam was a bit absent-minded and coughed lightly twice.
Oliver smiled. "Boss, I finally understand what is called 'lost and bewildered'! Even over the phone, I
can tell that your thief-like eyes are only focused on Stella now!"
"Oliver." Liam said in a deep voice, "If you want to be taught a lesson, just say it straight. No need for
such subtle reminders."
Oliver laughed dryly, knowing that Liam wanted to enjoy his time with Stella. He didn't dare to say more
and quickly hung up the phone.
The next day, Mia saw Amelia at the open-air Western restaurant below the Taylor Group.
"Miss Taylor." Mia smiled and took out a termination agreement. "I've already discussed this with your
secretary in advance. Now, all that's left is your signature. Please!"
Amelia's face was already unpleasant, and now her features twisted almost grotesquely.
Ever since she was cheated out of tens of millions of dollars by that fake man from Sinerland, Taylor
Group had become the laughingstock of the entire industry.
Henry was embarrassed no matter where he went and vented his anger on Amelia. Not only did he
harshly reprimand her at the board meeting, but he also took back several profitable projects from her.
Even when she returned home, Amelia was trembling, carefully observing his mood.
Now, Rainbow Export had also become a fence-sitter, using this opportunity to distance themselves
from Taylor Group and cancel their cooperation just like those other companies.
Amelia gritted her teeth. Looking at Mia's smiling face, she tightly gripped the pen and reluctantly
signed her name on the agreement.
"Thank you." Mia said with a smile after checking, "If there are no issues, your company will receive the
official termination letter within three days. Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Taylor. It's my treat!"
"No need." Amelia crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I haven't fallen so low that I can't even afford Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
a meal!"
"This is what I should do." Mia offered to pay the bill, came back, and politely smiled at Amelia, ready to
take her leave.
However, Amelia's sharp voice rang out from behind, "Is there no one left in Rainbow Export now? It's
such an important termination agreement, but they sent a lackey to sign it!"
Mia stopped in her tracks.
"You treat your superior's casual remark as an order!" Amelia snorted and said, "Back when you were
chasing after me for cooperation, you didn't have this attitude, did you?"
Mia took a deep breath.
Stella's elder sister was indeed difficult to deal with. Even in this situation, she still stubbornly refused to
admit defeat and had to say a few sarcastic remarks.
Since that was the case, Mia was not someone to be taken lightly either.
She turned around, revealing a brilliant smile. "Miss Taylor, times change!"
"This time, we've also learned our lesson. We must make sure to thoroughly understand our partner's...
intellectual level when choosing one! Heh, those who easily get cheated out of tens of millions of
dollars are intellectually challenged. We really can't continue working together!"
Amelia's face darkened as she glared at Mia.
"And when it comes to cooperation, how can we bypass the chairman? Ha-ha, as far as I know, when
you negotiated with Rainbow Export, your father didn't know anything, right?"
"Alas, after all, Taylor Group is ultimately decided by the chairman alone. I'm sure you can't make any
decisions!"
"Have you said enough?" Amelia slammed the table, making the cutlery and plates on the table clink.
Mia coldly looked at her, finally taking a small revenge for Stella.
However, at that moment, she noticed a change in Amelia's expression, from anger to a hint of
smugness, and Amelia even smiled.
"Mia." She scoffed and said, "Look over there!"
Mia was stunned and followed her gaze, only to see two girls happily eating ice cream and chatting
under a parasol not far away.
Behind them were a blue sky, white clouds, and trees that formed a canopy. The vibrant azaleas
bloomed in clusters around them.
Just by looking at this picturesque scene, one could tell how sweet their ice cream must be.
Mia furrowed her brows, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Alas." Amelia deliberately drew out her words. "You treat her as your good friend, but she doesn't even
invite you when going out to eat!"
"Mia, you probably don't know who that is across from Stella, right? That's Audrey, the youngest
daughter of the Martinez family in Emberfall. Last time at our charity banquet, Audrey held Stella's arm
and entered, calling her bestie! Ha, who knows what tricks that b*tch Stella used!"
"Your good friend has climbed up the social ladder! Do you think she still remembers you?" Amelia
patted Mia's shoulder. "This is probably human nature, truly unpredictable!"
After saying that, she waved her hand and walked away in her high heels, swaying with each step.
Mia's gaze remained fixed on Stella and Audrey.
She admitted that she felt a bit jealous. This ice cream shop was a place she often treated Stella to.
The friendship between women was sometimes more delicate and fragile than romantic love. Stella
was Mia's best friend, and Mia believed so, but Stella brought someone else here to share the place
they used to go together even without inviting Mia.
Jealousy began to spread and ferment in Mia's heart.
But at the moment, her attention was more focused on Audrey.
She furrowed her brows...
This girl looked so familiar. She seemed to have seen Audrey somewhere before.
......
In the afternoon at work, Stella saw Mia in the pantry and happily greeted her.
However, Mia only smiled faintly.
Stella was slightly taken aback. As usual, she brewed a cup of black tea for Mia and handed it over,
asking softly, "Mia, what's wrong?"
Mia was not one to beat around the bush and directly told her about what happened at lunchtime.
"Oh, so you saw us?" Stella smiled with her eyes squinted, looking innocent. "Why didn't you call me?
Actually, I wanted to invite you too, but your department said you had already left early, so I..."
"Alright, there's no need to explain!" Mia's temper came and went quickly.
So Stella did want to invite her.
Knowing that Stella still valued their friendship was enough.
Mia smiled and then remembered something, asking her, "Why were you with that girl at lunchtime?"
"She's Audrey." Stella answered truthfully, "I wanted to introduce you to her! Last time when Amelia
locked me in the basement, she was the one who rescued me."
"Is she really Audrey?"
"Is there a problem?" Stella blinked her eyes.
The more Mia thought about it, the more something felt off, and her brows furrowed hard.
"I... I just suddenly thought about the nurse who came out of the hospital room when we went to see
your husband. Do you remember her?"
Stella thought for a moment and shook her head in confusion.
"She had a short skirt and was very beautiful!" Mia grew anxious. "At that time, I intentionally looked at
her a bit more. Although she was wearing a mask, I wouldn't forget!"
"Are you saying that Audrey is that nurse?"
Mia was stunned, suddenly unable to answer.
"How is that possible?" Stella laughed. "Miss Martinez and a nurse... the difference in status is like
night and day!"
