The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 The Game Just Changed

“It wouldn’t bother me, even if they did end up working together, Stella said calmly.

er partner up. That much, Stella was sure of

Besides, there was no way Ethan and Abraham would ever

“Then can you at least throw me a bone?” Louis was at his wit’s end. Abraham had completely shut him out, and it had been cating at him for days,

“This doesn’t sound like a personal issue,” Stella replied. “It’s probably a problem with the contract you gave him.”

“The contract?” Louis blinked

Stella nodded, “You’re not like Ethan. There’s nothing personal going on with you–at least not from Abraham’s side.”

“You really mean that?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

Louis fell quict. The contract… is that really the issue? Wait–now that Stella had said it out loud, something suddenly clicked The Parker Group always used the same standard contracts when partnering with others. No exceptions. Could it be that one particular clause–the one that restricted the other party- was what pissed Abraham off?

As the thought hit him, Louis slapped the table and stood up. “Damn, I totally overlooked that.”

Stella said nothing,

Thanks. I’ll have someone take care of it right away. Oh, and… Louis glanced at Stella, then added. “There’s history between Lillian and Ethan. She saved his life once. When something starts with that kind of bond and turns into something more… it’s not something you can just step into. Don’t get involved–it won’t go anywhere.”

As a way of returning the favor. Louis had just handed over one of Ethan’s deepest secrets.

Sure, Stella was holding her ground with Ethan right now. She was the one who spread the news about calling off the ́engagement, after all.

But the truth was, no one could ever say for sure what a woman was really feeling.

Either way, Louis just didn’t want her wasting her time on a guy like Ethan

A man like that—no matter how things played out–wasn’t someone she could count on for the long haul.

Stella’s expression shifted slightly. She hadn’t expected there to be that kind of history between Ethan and Lillian. “Thanks”

Louis set a velvet box down on her desk. “Anyway, I’m heading out–but keep the gift

He’d brought it for her–no way was he taking it back. Taking back a gift just wasn’t something he did.

As Louis stepped out of Stella’s office, he ran straight into Ethan.

Ethan looked pissed And when he saw Louis walking out of Stella’s office, his mind practically exploded.

That thought–the one he hated–came back again, loud and clear.

As they brushed past each other, Ethan grabbed Louis by the wrist. “What the h’ll were you doing in there?”

As far as Ethan knew, Stella and Louis had no connection whatsoever.

So why was Louis visiting her now?

The way Ethan always jumped to conclusions about Stella, as if she were some kind of reckle more than ready to sit back and watch Abraham crush him

Louis’s laid–back attitude pushed Ethan over the edge

But before Ethan could even take a swing. Louis spoke up first. “Your hand’s still busted and it looks like your legs not doing much better. Are you sure you want to throw hands! Don’t blame me if you end up not being able to

If anything that just made it worse. The second Louis said in the fury on Ethan’s face boded over

His hand was fractured, and the doctor said the cast would have to stay on for at least a month. His leg wasn’t seriously injured, but it still hurt–enough that he walked with a slight limp

“What the hell were you doing in there with her?” Ethan growled, spitting out every word through clenched teeth
