Chapter 208 - The Audacity Of That Man (2/2)

”Why would he do all of this?” Stella questioned him again. She couldn't stop herself from tearing up. How could she after listening to all of this.

”Isn't it obvious? He wanted to make sure that you will live a good life even if he's not around you. He didn't want people to raise their fingers at you when you continue to live here even if he's gone. I am not sure why would he disappear out of nowhere, but based on how much I know him after all these years of working with him, he must have had his reasons.”

”So, I just sit back and enjoy this rich life until he returns.” Stella added sarcastically as she raised an eyebrow at him.

”Well, you can do that. Or you can look after the business empire he had left in your care.” Alaister replied to her.

”What if I sell all of it and run?” Stella narrowed her eyes at him.

”I don't think so that he will mind that as long as you are happy.” He smirked at her, making her shake her head in amusement.

”No wonder he hired you for dealing with his legal shit, you are damn good at arguing with people.” Stella praised him as she gave him a thumbs up.

The man smiled at her politely and stood up as he closed his briefcase again. ”It's already late, and you should have some rest. I apologise to you again for disturbing you at this hour Ms. Stella… I mean Mrs. Adam Levinson.” He corrected himself after calling her with the title of Miss.

”Oh! One more thing.” He added as he was about to walk away after picking his briefcase. ”This is for you.” He pulled out a small, rectangular brown envelope from his coat's inner pocket and handed it to her. Before she could question him about it, he walked out of the room without looking back at the woman. His work was done here, it was useless to stay here even a minute longer. Someone definitely wouldn't like him spending extra time here.

Stella looked at his retreating back in confusion which soon disappeared from her line of sight. She shifted her gaze towards the table and picked up the files and envelopes from it headed back to her room.
