Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 14:.

Stella wanted to go outside to get sair, but after meeting Sophia, she felt that the air around her had

becstifling. She didn’t want to stay outside, so she went inside.

But upon entering, he had to confront that man....

Stella felt she had been unlucky today. She was in a very bad mood and just wanted to get out of there.

Elena saw that Stella was still motionless and standing in the sspot. She said coldly: “Stella Richard! Move

quickly... Do you want to keep the boss waiting?”

Elena was very angry as she looked at Stella.

She didn’t like her “I don’t want to go” expression. But as a leader, she didn’t want to affect the team’s efforts

because of one member. So Elena filled Stella’s glass with red wine and pushed it into her hands.

“Hurry up and leave! | don’t want you to tarnish the image of the entire project department in front of Mr. RK!”

Stella held the glass in her hand and walked in the man’s direction. But as she walked, she cursed herself for

having such bad luck. She felt like today, even her bad luck was particularly bad.

She quietly vows to earn enough money as soon as possible so that she can leave at the first opportunity. If she

had enough savings, she wouldn't have to worry about Adrian’s and her expenses while she looked for a suitable

job in France.

Stella looked at the man sitting at the head of the table.

RK was sitting in the main chair, chatting with the others. The CEO of RK Group was sitting to his right, and on

his other side was Sophia Richard, whom he had just met at the entrance. At that moment, Sophia was holding

his arm and talking in his ear. They seemed very close and intimate. Stella's hand holding the glass shook a

little.

He didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt that his steps were very heavy. He was not even able to take a single

step.

It was just a small scene, but she didn’t know why her heart ached. She had already told herself many times that

she didn’t love him and that they had nothing to do with each other.

But he didn’t understand why it still hurt him to see them together. There was a lump in his throat that

prevented him from speaking or even moving. He dared not disturb them.

Elena, who was behind her, saw that she had stopped and thought that she was going to scorn the boss again.

She sensed that Stella wanted to find a way to escape without greeting him.

Elena grabbed her arm and pulled her forward, not letting her escape. “Stella, don’t make that face in front of

the boss, do you want him to see your reluctance?”

Because of the push, in just a few steps, she was standing next to RK. Moreover, she was not able to control

herself and was the first to reach him, taking Elena's place and standing next to him.

At that moment, Stella didn’t want anything else. She just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. She

felt very embarrassed. It seemed that she was anxious to be by his side.

Sophia, still seated, had witnessed the whole scene. Stella could already imagine the rumors that would be

spreading about her by tomorrow.

“Mr. RK, all members of our project team are here. Congratulations on the acquisition of the company. We all

wish the best to the RK Group”.

Elena announced with a smile, raising her glass to toast the entire project team. Everyone did the same, raising

their glasses.

René Kingston was sitting in the main chair, and 20 members of the project team were around his table. He was

the only one sitting, while the other 20 people were standing. He was like a king, looking down on everyone.

Stella did not raise her glass...

She didn’t want to toast that arrogant man. The man sitting next to her looked at her with a lazy expression, but

his eyes were very sharp.

Stella thought the president was going to blher for not raising her glass. Instead, that man spoke. RK picked

up his glass from the table, looked at everyone and said, “As you wish!”.

“Clang! Clang!”

Everyone cheered...

No one dared not participate in the toast to the boss. So everyone drank in one gulp, except Stella. Stella did as

she was ordered and merely took a sip of her wine as a symbolic gesture.

After the toast, everyone's glasses were empty, except for Stella and RK. Their glasses looked as if they had not

been touched...

Elena looked at Stella and rolled her eyes, as if to say, “Do as you're told and as you please!”.

Then Elena said with a smile, “Mr. RK, please give us two minutes to get acquainted with the people in our

project department.”

RK said nothing and just made a “mm-hmm” sound. Starting with Elena, everyone began to introduce

themselves clockwise. They had to do it in one sentence.

From beginning to end, he was seated while everyone stood around him. It was like the scene in a historical

court where the king sat at the head and all the ministers spoke standing with him.

Stella was standing next to the man. From her angle, she could see that his eyes were on each person who came

forward.... He seemed relaxed but also cold.

Two minutes later...

When it was Stella's turn, the man did not look at her. He seemed to have forgotten about her because the

introductions went clockwise.

Elena saw that the president said nothing and was even more afraid that Stella would say the wrong thing. So

she hastily said, “Mr. RK, then we will say goodbye now.”

As they were about to leave, the man spoke....

“It looks like there's someone who hasn't cforward yet.”

His voice was low and measured.

After speaking, he looked at Stella. Stella did not understand what he meant.

When Elena heard the president's words, she quickly said, “Yes! Yes! Stella, you haven't introduced yourself yet.

Mr. RK doesn’t know you yet.”

Everyone else had respectfully introduced themselves and then poured their glasses. Now it was Stella's turn. In

a calm, steady voice, Stella said, “Stella Richard.”

“That's all.” He had only said two words. His words seemed less meaningful than what RK had said earlier on

stage.
