BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 51
Chapter 51:.
When Stella looked behind her, the man had walked past her. He sat at a table not far from hers.
Stella cursed inwardly: “Why do I have such bad luck? Why do I meet this man everywhere I go? She checked her phone; it was
just a clock....
Lunchtime had just started. How could it have ended already? And if lunchtime was over, why was she still here? Were there
different rules for her compared to other workers?
Tristan, who was sitting across from her, raised his hand, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, “How is it possible that your
company’s lunch hour ended at 1? Why do I remember someone saying that lunch hour starts at 1?”
Stella took another bite of the food on her plate.
Yes, the lunch break started at 1 o’clock! It didn’t end until two o’clock. However, now that she had met that man, she didn’t know
what was wrong with him. Why didn’t he let her have lunch with anyone else?
Stella replied, “Yes, it just started!”.
That was the truth. It was written in the company rules that the lunch break started at one o’clock in the afternoon. During that
hour, employees could do whatever they wanted; it was their free time.
Even if the president wanted to be taken care of, she didn’t have to go. At least during that hour, it was her time.
Hearing this, Tristan felt that nothing was wrong. He nodded and said, “Keep eating! If the food isn’t enough, we can order
more!”.
As he said this, he put more food on Stella’s plate.
Stella loved food and refused nothing. What’s more, Tristan knew her tastes very well and everything she ordered was her
favorite. She noticed and kept eating. However, every time she put her head down to eat, she felt that someone was looking at
her from the opposite side....
Moreover, he felt that the look was unfriendly and full of hostility. But when he raised his head, he found no one in his field of
vision.
After a few rounds, Stella no longer felt like eating because in front of her table sat RK. Every time Stella raised her head to look
for the person staring at her – who knows from where – her eyes would meet his!

However, when Stella looked at him, that man didn’t even give her a glance!
It was as if the sinister look was not hers as she ate now. Stella had lost her appetite.
“Stella! Why don’t you eat, don’t you like it?”
Tristan looked at Stella and saw that she was clueless, so he asked.
The man was sitting diagonally across from her, as if he was there to watch her. She was eating, but it seemed as if someone
was watching her all the time....
It was as if she had done something wrong and lightning was about to strike her.
“No, I’m full.”
Stella shook her head.
starve yourself.”
As she said this, Stella placed the remaining plates on Tristan’s plate one by one.
But every time Stella put something on Tristan’s plate, she felt someone’s eyes staring at her again.
The next second, she raised her head and saw RK, who was sitting in front of her table, looking at her. Their eyes met.
This time, RK looked at her without hiding anything. She felt as if in his eyes there was a storm capable of destroying everything.
When they looked into each other’s eyes, Stella only felt a sense of danger. It was as if there was an unknown pressure full of
warning and oppression. Stella could only feel that it was inexplicable!
Why was that man looking at her? Lunchtime wasn’t over yet. Why was he interfering with her lunchtime?
He could have lunch and she could not?
Stella lowered her head and growled coldly; she didn’t want to look at that jerk!
As he held the food in his hand, he said, “Brother Tristan, eat more! You must be very busy at the hospital this afternoon, right?
I’ve heard that sometimes doctors are busy for more than ten hours and don’t eat anything. eat more! Don’t forget to eat when
you are busy later.”
These words... Stella could have sworn she didn’t mean anything by them. She just remembered that Tristan also had a
stomach problem like hers.
Stella used to have stomach problems if she drank cold drinks, but before long it seemed that her stomach problems spread to
others.
Shortly after Tristan became a doctor, he also had stomach problems. Therefore, the two people with stomach problems often
urged each other to eat or nourish the stomach.
In recent years, due to Adrian’s diet, Stella had convinced herself that her stomach was better than before.
Tristan, however, was different.... He still often had stomach problems.
Perhaps because they had been away from each other for so long, neither of them forgot to urge the other to eat properly.
Besides, he had put too much energy into his medical career. Over the years, he had treated many people, but often neglected
himself.
Tristan picked up the plates Stella handed him and felt something indescribable in his heart. A smile appeared at the corner of
his lips as he said, “Stella, it’s been so long since you’ve cared about me!”.
Stella lowered her head, embarrassed. Only then did she realize... Was she being too considerate?
She just wanted this man to eat, so she served him some food. Wasn’t that being too considerate?
However, come to think of it, Tristan had just served her food and she was just returning the gesture. There was nothing wrong
with that, he thought.
“You should eat.”
Stella said nothing and merely lowered her head awkwardly. However, in the eyes of the others, like Tristan.... She had lowered
her head, and the soft, yellow light fell on her face, making her look shy.
But good things don’t last long. Whatever she did, she had the feeling that someone was watching her the whole time. It was like
waiting for a missile to land.
Every time she raised her head, her eyes easily met those of the person sitting behind Tristan. When their eyes met again, Stella
It was as if he was about to judge her at any moment. This scared her so much that it made her hair stand on end. She felt
something was wrong. What did this man want?
She was just eating during her lunch break. Why did he have to come and observe her in her daily life?
Stella couldn’t look away. Even if she tried, she had the feeling that someone was watching her all the time.
Tristan was quick to finish the food from the plate Stella had personally served him.
Stella didn’t want to stay in the restaurant any longer. She was quick to say, “Brother Tristan, I have to get back to the office.”
She felt that if she stayed in the restaurant for one more second, there might be a problem with her safety.
What if the man became sad and decided to do something to him? Tristan also stood up and said, “I’ll go with you!”.
Stella did not refuse. After all, they had left the company together. Besides, if she turned down his offer, it might look like she was
giving things too much thought.
They had known each other for a long time. Something like accompanying her didn’t seem like much. From childhood to
adulthood, this man had always taken care of her. He had even sent her to school, starting in kindergarten.
Back then, when the chauffeur drove Tristan to elementary school every day, he would ask him to drop Stella off at daycare first.
Over the years, from Stella’s kindergarten days through elementary school, high school, junior high and college, everything had
been organized by this man.
So, over time, Stella had grown accustomed to what he was doing for her. She didn’t refuse when Tristan offered to walk her
back to the company. After all, it was only a five-minute walk.
The two left the restaurant and, within five minutes, arrived at the company’s entrance.
As Stella was about to thank him, Tristan said, “Stella, can I invite you and Adrian over for dinner tonight?”
Stella had no plans to tell the Richard family about Adrian. However, since this man had already found out, she couldn’t help
herself. But she still declined, saying, “No need. Adrian wants to watch cartoons tonight. Let’s skip it.”
Stella made up an excuse on the spot.
After all, she was still resisting Tristan’s feelings for her. Just as Isabella had said....
Although there was no blood relationship between them, he was still his older brother in terms of family ties. The Richard family
could not afford to lose face.
Seeing Stella’s refusal, Tristan smiled faintly and said, “Then I’ll ask Adrian to see if he has time to go out with me for dinner.”
Stella was speechless – since when did everyone know her precious son’s phone number? It had only been a few days since
she had gotten his number.
When did Tristan get it too?
Stella cursed her son. She had bought him a phone so that it would be easier to contact him at any time. Who had told her to
spread his phone number around like that?
But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that he didn’t give it to just anyone, but to those two men!
When she thought about this, she felt dread. What if those two men asked Adrian out alone when she wasn’t ready? She
wouldn’t know what to do in that situation.
Stella forced a smile and replied, “Let’s do it tonight.... I remember Adrian wants to watch cartoons tomorrow.”
If Adrian and Tristan were going out alone... a big one, a small one and worried about both of them. So after thinking about it,
she decided to forget about it and just go with him tonight!
