Chapter 21 First encounter
Jasper quickly grabbed his clothes, buttoned up his shirt, and left the fitting room. A very same moment, Federick turned around, he was holding in his hands the exact same suit Jasper had on.
“Get me another set, I don’t want something that others have tried on,” said Federick arrogantly with and a wicked smile and thrusting the suit at the salesperson.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
The salesperson was startled, and took a glance at Jasper, with her cheeks turned pink.
Jasper’s physique was better even in comparison with the mannequin. The suit fits him perfectly.
With his broad shoulders and slim waist, he looked so perfect in the suit that it would make anyone blush.
How could someone so good-looking exist in this world?
Jasper walked past Federick, ignoring him.
Jasper then passed the suit to the cashier and said, “I want this suit, pack it for me, thanks.”
“Alright, would you like to pay by cash or card?” the cashier asked bashfully.
Jasper took out his premium black credit card and passed it to the cashier.
A black card? Federick thought to himself. Even if he had the money, an ordinary rich man would not be able to obtain this card. Jasper must be connected to someone very powerful.
Federick stared at Jasper without blinking and smiled wickedly.
He took out his own black, balancing it between his index finger and ring finger, and told the cashier casually, “Apart from the set on him, I want all the black series suits in size 190. Pack them all for me.”
The cashier got excited, she was getting lucky today!
An extremely cool man turns up, filled with suppressed sensuality.
And then an extremely charming man turns up, making her blush senselessly.
And the important thing was, they were both extremely wealthy.
“Sure.” the cashier said excitedly.
Jasper turned to Federick, looking at him impassively. It was obvious that Federick was provoking him.
His eyes maintained its cool, he did not show a flicker of interest.
Federick felt that he was being ignored, he took out his gold name card, and putting it on the table, he said, “Deliver to this address.”
“Alright.” the cashier reached out to take the name card politely.
Federick smiled again wickedly, pushing open the door and walking out.
“Oh gosh, he’s so handsome, is he a celebrity? He is so handsome and dashing! ” cried the sales girls in the boutique, they were going crazy for Federick.
Jasper eyes deepened. He walked over to the fitting room with the suit on his hand, and knocked,” He’s gone, come out!”
Stella walked out and saw the receipt of his hand, asked, “How much is it? Didn’t I say I would pay for this?”
“I’ve already paid for it. Maybe next time?” said Jasper, his eyes gazing at her affectionately.
Stella felt sheepish under his gaze, she said, “Hmm, I’ve got to go now. Now that I know what you like, I’ll buy you something else and have it sent to you.”
“I’ll send you home,” said Jasper with his deep voice.
Stella somehow felt that Jasper was not in a good mood, just like the first time they met.
Stella felt uneasy around him, and quickly said, “It’s okay, I meeting up with my friend.”
Stella quickly nodded as a sign that she was leaving, and left the boutique.
Jasper looked at her go, frowning. His chiseled features became even more defined.
Jasper called Simon Davis on the phone, he said bluntly, “Come out, let’s have a drink.”
Simon Davis was stunned, “I’m meeting some friends at the pub, want to join us?”
“I’ll be there.” Jasper hung up and hurried his pace.

Stella walked out of COS Mall alone.
Running away never solves a problem, so she decided to confront it once and for all. She called Federick on the phone.
Federick accepted the call, but he did not speak.
“Are you free now? Can we have a talk?” asked Stella, coldly.
“I’m at your apartment.” Federick hung up the phone after speaking.
She recalled the things Federick had done to her at her place. She then bought herself a pepper spray before heading home.
Federick was sitting on the sofa with his fingers covering one of his eyes, eyeing his phone with a smile.
Stella thought that he might be in a good mood, she sat opposite him.
She caught on a glimpse of the conversation on his mobile phone screen.
Mr. Heartless: “My wife did not agree at first place, but when she heard that you’ll be joining, she agreed. You have such charisma, that you can even affect my wife’s decision, haha.”
Mr. Wild: “Apart from you two, who else is joining?”
Mr. Heartless: “Lee is bringing his new girl, a movie star, she is very hot. Will you bring your wife, bro?”
Federick looked towards Stella.
Stella quickly turned away from the screen, she knew that Federick is using “Mr. Wild ” as his on-screen name, while ” Mr. Heartless ” must be one of his friends.
“Are you free tomorrow, to go to Civil Affairs Bureau?” asked Stella, softly.
Federick kept his phone. His eyes gentle, he said, “Hang out with me tonight.”
“Where?” Stella was being alert.
“You’ll know when you get there,” said Federick.
“I don’t want to go.” Stella rejected.
Federick then said, his lips curving upwards: “You’re not going? You know what? If you infuriate me, you’ll be suffering in the future. I can make you lose your job as a doctor.”
Stella was increasingly annoyed and disgusted by him, she wondered how she could have ever fallen for someone like that. There must have been something wrong with him.
“What are we going to do? ” Stella narrowed her eyes into a line and asked curiously. She needed to know, so she could prepare to protect herself.
“It’s with Patrick, they’ve planned a gathering,” So Patrick was the apparent “Mr. Heartless”, Stella thought. “They want to see you, it’s been a while,” Federick said casually.
“We are going to get a divorce, there is no point for me to continue seeing your friends. It would be very awkward if we ever meet them in the future.” Stella said, and stood up.
“I don’t care if it will be awkward in the future, but I will for sure be awkward if you’re not attending today, don’t mess with me, go get changed and let’s go.” Federick did not allow her to reject him.
“You will agree to the divorce, if I attend this tonight, won’t you? “Stella asked coldly.
Federick looked up at Stella, asking her, “What do you think makes me not want to get a divorce?”
“Alright, I’ll go get changed now.” Stella said and turned to her room. She locked the door.
Stella did not like his friends from Federick. They were all the same type, they preyed on the weak, and especially on women.
Stella dressed in her most old-fashioned and prudent outfit. She put her glasses on and wore a simple shirt and long pants. She wanted to look as simple as possible, so she can quickly bid goodbye to this life and get a divorce tomorrow.
When she left the room, Federick frowned a little and said, “Are you from a village, why are you dressed like this?”
“I’m always old-fashioned, didn’t you know?” Stella provoked him.
Federick shrugged, with his usual wicked smile, he continued, ” Nothing, it’s not that bad, you look fairly special, you even look very innocent wearing that. ”
Stella did not like his wicked ways, as if she was always his prey. She felt like she was always in danger when she was around him.
“You drive, let’s go to the bar.” He said, throwing Stella the car key.
