BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 14
Chapter 14:.
Stella wanted to go outside to get some air, but after meeting Sophia, she felt that the air around her had become stifling. 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 same spot. 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! I 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 blame her 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...
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 come forward 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.
