Chapter 148 No Spicy Food

Kimmy said, “I really think he’s trying to scam you, Ms. Dawson. You can’t be that naive about people

Stella replied, “And you shouldn’t assume the worst about everyone either. Keep that up and you’ll never get a boyfriend.”

Kimmy was speechless. Too cynical? Who goes to someone’s place and conveniently loses a million–dollar item! That had to be on purpose. right

“Alright, just get me a cup of coffee.” Stella said.

Whether or not he was trying to scam her didn’t really matter; the key thing was, no one could actually scam her. She was doing pretty well just not scamming anyone herself.

Last night, Abraham had gotten drunk and made a mess of her. She was still a little dazed.

Kimmy nodded and left. Once Stella was alone in the office, her phone started buzzing.

It was Abraham.

She picked up. “Abraham”

“Did Louis leave?”

His deep voice came through the line, heavy with authority and pressure.

“He’s gone,” Stella answered.

If he hadn’t left, what was he going to do–show up and skin him alive like some kind of

“And the bracelet?”

“I gave it back,” she said quickly.

Thank god she had. With Abraham’s tone right now, if she hadn’t returned it, she would’ve been completely screwed.

“What have I always told you?” Abraham asked.

“Don’t accept gifts from men. I didn’t take it,” she replied.

She added the last part in a soft, slightly wronged voice.

Feeling his serious tone, she quickly tacked on, “I really didn’t.”

“Good girl,” Abraham said.

Stella rolled her eyes. Good girl? Is that still an appropriate thing to call me!

“So I can never accept gifts from men? I’m an adult now.”

There was a hint of testing in her voice. Sure, Abraham didn’t have other women around, but she wasn’t a child anymore.

And after what happened last night – Just thinking about it made her cheeks flush.

Even if Abraham didn’t remember anything. Stella still wanted to feel things out–figure out exactly what she was to him.

But after she spoke, the phone went silent..

Stella’s heart clenched tighter with each second.

All these years at Rivermount, she had never accepted a single gift from a man

“I’ve never given you anything?” Abrahamn asked.

“What?”

“How would it feel?”

The question came so out of the blue, Stella didn’t even know how to respond.

Meanwhile, Louis had just stepped out of Stella’s office when he got a call from Alex

As expected, Alex only had one thing to say, he wanted the ring.

Louis‘ sudden change in attitude yesterday had made Alex start to suspect. Had Louis actually given the ring to Marlon

-Where are you now?” Louis asked.

“At home. You’re gonna bring it to me?”

Bring it? That ring was long gone–may it rest in peace. What, am I supposed to go dig through the city dump?

“I’m coming to you now.”

Louis hung up the call without waiting for a response.

Half an hour later, he pulled up outside Alex’s place.

“The ring?” Alex asked the second he saw him.

“Get in.”

“What? No–where’s my ring?”
