Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 26 Itchy and Desolate

Chapter 26 Itchy and Desolate

Oliver's heart hung in his throat.

Even through the phone, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from Liam.

Did he cook Liam's goose?

Oliver checked his watch and slapped himself hard in the head. Damn it! If he was interrupted while he

was having fun, he would also want to tear that person into pieces!

"Noah..." He explained with a flattering smile, "If it wasn't for an emergency, I wouldn't call at this time. I

thought you didn't go to bed so early..."

"Get to the point!"

Liam growled angrily. He turned around, walked to the balcony, and closed the sliding door behind him

with a clatter.

"I'm afraid you have to go back to Emberfall," Oliver lowered his voice, "Now the news that you are not

dead has spread, Sir Martinez is very agitated, and uncle and aunt are..."

"Okay, I know," Liam frowned, "I will contact them privately, but I won't return to Emberfall so soon."

Oliver did not understand the situation, so he could only say "oh".

"By the way, Noah, I've checked today. The client who Stella visited today for business was the one

Ava hadn't gotten after following up for three months! Heh... I used a little trick and Stella succeeded in

getting the order. The commission for this order is quite a lot. She can get fourteen thousand dollars..."

Liam was so angry that he hung up before Oliver could finish his babbling.

Oliver was confused again. He poured a glass of wine for Caleb who was beside him, and asked

fearfully, "What did I say wrong again?"

Caleb could not help laughing.

"You ruined his plan, what kind of attitude can he have towards you?"

Oliver was extremely remorseful and kept slapping his mouth.

"And why do you have to babble about Stella getting the order?"

"This..." Oliver's eyes widened, "Did I flatter in the wrong way again?"

Caleb rolled his eyes at him, "Ava hadn't gotten the order after following up with the client for three

months, but Stella, a newcomer, got the order. There are a lot of people and gossips in the company.

What do you think they will talk about her?"

Oliver fell silent.

"Besides, I have read Stella's sales plan," Caleb sighed softly, "It was like something out of a textbook.

Even if you didn't say anything, Mr. Davis would have signed it too!"

"So, it was not your credit that Stella got the order, understand?"

Oliver's face contorted. He felt like crying but the tears would not come.

"Think a little more when you talk and act in the future!" Caleb patted him on the shoulder, "Sigh, I

should have studied medicine back then, so that I could treat your brain!"

Liam leaned on the balcony railing. His deep eyes seemed to be in harmony with the night sky,

revealing no emotion.

The wind blew with a hint of coolness, and he became more awake. After a while, he turned and

returned to the room. Stella was no longer in the bedroom. He looked around and heard light noises

from the washing machine in the bathroom.

Stella also saw him. She smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples.

She was a little shy. She looked down to separate the machine-washed and hand-washed clothes one

by one, and said softly, "Go to bed, I will do the laundry."

Liam sighed softly and wailed in his heart.

Desire came like powerful waves, and it was very uncomfortable to be interrupted suddenly.

Now he had to hold it back gradually.

It felt like thousands of worms eating away at his body bit by bit, itchy and desolate.

But he could not act like a lustful man in front of her and force her into bed to do it again.

So, he smiled grudgingly, went back to the living room, threw himself heavily into the sofa, and covered

himself tightly with a quilt.

The news of Stella getting the order spread rapidly throughout the company, and even some seniors in

the sales department looked at her with admiration.

She did not get any sales in the first two months, but then she got a big order all of a sudden, which

was indeed a sensation.

At the regular meeting of the sales department, the sales director praised her, saying that she had

unlimited potential, and also gave her a bonus to motivate her.

Stella remained level-headed all the time, silently watching everyone's eyes.

Some congratulations were sincere, and some applause was hypocrisy.

There were also blatant exclusion and jealousy like from Ava.

But Stella did not care about these, she only cared about the numbers in her bank account.

"Hmph, she's so good in pretending!" She passed by the pantry and heard someone talking inside,

"Look how calm she was when the director praised her! She looked like an old hand."

"Maybe she's really an old hand!" Another shrill voice said with a smile, "The more one pretends to be

innocent, the more stories they may have!"

"What have you heard?"

"Hush..." The person lowered their voice, "I heard that Stella was able to get this order because

someone helped her!"

"Who? Mr. Clark? I heard that Mr. Clark pursued Stella in college, and it was a fierce pursuit! But Stella

just refused to date him!"

"It was probably not Daniel Clark. Why would he help Stella instead of his girlfriend? Besides, Ava

Brown was not able to get the order for three months, Daniel would not be able to get it too!"

"Do you mean... there is someone more important behind Stella?"

The few people whispered in low voices, and then let out a burst of laughter. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Feeling bored, Stella turned leave, just to meet Ava's murderous eyes.

She was startled. Her heart was pounding, but her face was still calm.

"Hello, Miss Brown. How are you?"

Ava folded her arms and looked at her with a sneer, "Oh, how can I be fine with you dangling in front of

me all day?"
