Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1714

Chapter 1714

“So insincere!" Mr. Beck frowned, "What are you afraid of, getting drunk? I have got you a suite here. Stay as long as you like!"

Emily, left with no choice, took another sip of her drink.

Seeing Mr. Beck in high spirits, showing no signs of winding down, Cedric turned to Emily and said, “I'm out of smokes, go fetch me a pack of Infinite Clouds, will ya?"

Mr. Beck immediately chimed in, "I've got Radiant Riffs here, smoke mine."

“I'm used to these. Let Emily fetch them!"

Emily rose to go buy the cigarettes.

Awhile later, Emily called Cedric, "Mr. Cedric, the storekeeper says they're out of Infinite Clouds, but they have Platinum Puffs!"

Cedric snapped, "Can't you handle a simple errand? Don't you have a brain? If they don't have it, go somewhere else. If you can't find it, don't bother coming back!"

He hung up abruptly.

Mr. Beck chuckled, “Why the temper? It's just a pack of cigarettes!"

Cedric laughed it off, "She's new, still a bit clumsy. She needs to learn a lesson!"

“A pretty young thing like that needs to be pampered!” Mr. Beck smirked, raising his glass in a toast with Cedric, “Let's carry on!"

Across the street at the supermarket, Emily, holding her phone, was taken aback by Cedric’s scolding. She quickly regained her composure and texted him back, [Thanks, Director, could you please bring my design drafts back to the office when you leave? Thanks again!]

After sending the message, Emily hailed a taxi and headed home.
