Chapter 229 - A Fight Over Orange Juice (2) (2/2)

”You alright?” He questioned her after placing her down in the shotgun seat.

Since they were supposed to go back to the company after the meeting, Stella had given Edward an early off. She had decided to drive herself just for today, but who knew that this would happen to her foot.

”Hold on.” David spoke up as he remembered about the cushion which was on the back seat. He brought it to the front and placed it below her right foot so that she would be comfortable during the drive.

”Thank you.” Stella spoke up and gave him a wide smile. She was actually thankful to him for all of his help so far. It was just his second day at the job and he had helped her out so many times that she couldn't count on her fingers.

”it's no big deal.” He gave out a genuine smile before walking around the car to the driver's seat. Once he was settled in, he turned on the ignition and pulled the car away from the parking lot of the mall.

”Can I ask you one thing? I mean if you don't mind it.” He questioned Stella, keeping his eyes set on the road ahead.

Stella was typing in her phone when she heard him. Her figures stopped for a little while, lingering over the screen before they went back to doing their job. ”Shoot.” She replied to him with a single word.

”You clearly hate the man from earlier. Why did you sign that contract with him?” He questioned her.

”I had to do that.” Stella briefly replied to his question. After staying quiet for a while, she continued. ”I did it because I had to get the project which started under the name of Levinson's Corp., to its end. There's no way I am going to give those business rivals even a single point to make fun of.”

David hummed softly when he heard her reason. ”You sure love your husband a lot.” He murmured softly.

”Of course, I do.” Her reply made him shift his gaze from the road to her. He frowned when he saw her left hand resting against her stomach as a fond smile rested on her lips while she absent-mindedly gazed outside.
