Chapter 22 Inexplicable Distress
Mia could not bear to see Ava making things difficult for Stella in the company. Hence, she took Stella
out to go about soliciting business deals. She also introduced her customers to Stella.
In addition, she also taught Stella a lot of techniques for negotiating business deals.
"Keep this in mind. We can't get a business deal just by negotiating once. You may need to negotiate it
ten or eight times to get an order. This is normal."
Stella nodded lightly.
"You must try to build a rapport with the customers. Once they're close with you, probably they will let
you handle their orders."
"Hmm, I'm aware of that."
"The most important thing is..." Mia smiled and said, "You have to be shameless and put your dignity
aside if you're doing sales. You can only earn money this way. Do you get me?"
Stella's large beautiful eyes were smiley. At that time, the screen showed the number for them to take
their orders. Hence, she immediately went to the counter to take their food.
Their lunch was extremely simple fast food. Mia noticed that Stella's order was the cheapest vegetarian
food. Hence, she inevitably asked, "Is that enough for you?"
"Yes." Stella chuckled and said, "I don't eat much. This set is enough for me."
"No, this won't do! You need the energy to run around and get orders. Look at how slim you are. This..."
While talking, Mia reacted. "Did your husband take all your money?"
Stella was about to explain when Liam texted her.
After she read the text, she was quiet. Seeing her bad expression, Mia snatched her phone. She soon
erupted in anger.
"Who the hell does he think he is?" Mia became furious. "He... Does he go shopping? He even takes a
fancy to a belt that costs more than 400 dollars?"
"Mia, keep your voice down!" Stella immediately stopped Mia.
Liam did become peculiar recently. He tried different things and enjoyed rather a great life every day.
One day, she called him on the spur of the moment while she was working. She asked him what he
was doing. Surprisingly, he said, "I'm having high tea."
So, she asked him where he was having his high tea.
After that, he sent her a photo. It turned out that he was at Luxury Hotel.
Consequently, Stella nearly fainted from the shock. Before long, she received a text on her phone
notifying her that the balance in her bank was deducted.
When she saw the figure on it, she felt upset.
But since she had to maintain her image as the rich young lady, she had to force a smile and pretended
to be generous to let him enjoy his high tea well...
Many similar things happened, so the balance in her bank account grew lesser. But whenever she
asked him about it, he would look at her with a faint smile. "Stella, aren't you the young lady of the
Taylor family? Can't I spend this bit of money?"
Thus, she bit her lips and widened her eyes. At last, she turned around with disappointment and
returned to her room to keep on writing the sales plan.
She did not see how happy he smiled behind her.
He behaved like a boy who got away with his prank. Only one step was left in the whole game.
...
Stella checked the balance of her bank account using her phone. She had no more than 400 dollars
now.
If Liam was right before her now, she would have wanted to strangle him to death. He might have great
insight and he was good at calculating. He accurately calculated the amount of money that was left in
her bank account.
"Hey!" Mia hurriedly pressed on Stella's hand. "Do... you want to transfer it to him?"
Stella was stupefied for a while before she smiled naively. "He takes a fancy to it, so I should let him Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
buy it. After all, I still have a few dozen in cash. I think I can be thrifty these two days and hold on until
the next salary day."
"Aren't you silly?" Mia screamed. "What's so good about him that you spoil him so?"
"No, I didn't spoil him. It's just that..." Stella stopped talking before she hung her head low.
She did not spoil him, but she inexplicably felt sorry for him.
Liam led a lonely and impoverished life in the past. He was in and out of the prison cells several times,
and the gangsters in the village kept on ridiculing him...
When she thought of those incidents, her heart softened for him.
She did not know where this feeling came from. Could it be... Did she fall in love with this man?
