Chapter 190 - He Is My Ex-boyfriend (2/2)

”Stella!” Scott glared at her as he was worried that her words might ruin Katherine's mood, but to his dismay, she started to giggle.

”Why do you think they say that love is blind?” She questioned Stella, a faint smile resting on his face.

”Yes, but still. Him?” Stella narrowed her eyes at the man in question before continuing. ”He is such a sleazeball that he tried to flirt with me before his father and Adam. He didn't even try to be a bit discreet in doing so. And Adam had to step in to make him stop.” She rolled her eyes, being the dramatic girl that she was. ”I don't even remember his name. B-Ben…”

”Benjamin Phillip Brighton.” Katherine completed her sentence.

”Yeah, yeah.” Stella nodded her head. She was wearing a bored expression on her face but it took a 180° shift as her eyes began to shine with a mischievous glint.

”You guys stay here and enjoy the show.” She muttered as she stood up from her seat and made her way towards the entrance of the hall.

”Stella! Stella, stop right there.” She heard Scott yelling at her but she paid no attention to it and continued walking towards her destination. She saw a waiter passing by her, holding up a tray having some filled champagne flutes. Picking up two crystal glasses from the tray, she continued to walk towards him.

She kept her head down, not wanting to be recognized before she could execute her plan.

”Ouch!” She flinched as she lost her footing and slipped forward, deliberately. The two glasses in her spilled their content on the two people standing before her.

”I-I-I am so sorry.” She uttered and apology as soon as she realized what had happened. ”I lost my footing.” She continued to apologise as tried to clean the stain on the woman's dress and in doing so, she spilled the remaining content on her as well.

”Y-you.” The woman, who was Benjamin's date for the party, was seething in anger as she felt cold champagne dribbling down her body through her soaked dress. She was a top model of this country and never in her life she had gone through this much humiliation.

”Are you blind? Can't you see where you are going? The woman started to yell at her, garnering other people's attention.

”I said I am sorry. I lost my footing.” Stella frowned at the woman before her.

All this while Benjamin had her eyes set on Stella. He couldn't care less about his coat or even about the dress of his date. All he cared about in that moment was about the lady who was standing before her dressed in a cream colored frock. He was about to lash out on her when she spilled her champagne on him. But stopped himself from doing so when he saw her face. How could he forget her? He still remembered the day he had laid his eyes on her for the first time.

”It's completely fine. I am sure it was just an accident.” He spoke up, coming out of his trance.

Before Stella could reply to him, the woman interrupted. ”How could you say that? She deliberately did it. I know the likes of her, trying to get the attention of others. She must have taken a liking to you and did this to get your attention.”
