Chapter 136
Stella had nearly forgotten he existed since he hadn’t appeared in a few days. But every time he appeared, she felt bone-chilling anxiety and helplessness clinging to her. Without thinking twice, she hung up the phone. Yet before she could calm down, her phone rang once again. It was still the same familiar number.
It seemed as though he wouldn’t stop calling her as long as she didn’t respond.
She knew it wasn’t the solution, but she blocked his phone for a moment of serenity. She then left the training center without giving it any attention. Yvonne hadn’t been to work in a while, and it seemed that something had occurred at home.
Stella didn’t talk much to the others since some of them didn’t like her.
She walked straight into the elevator and walked toward the parking lot.
A familiar car drove near her and honked.
She took a closer look and found that it was Justin’s car, then her eyes flickered for a moment. She couldn’t help but hesitate as she remembered Weston’s phone call earlier. Justin stopped beside her and wound down the window. When he saw that she stood frozen in place, he asked, “What’s wrong?” She shook her head, but her face was stoic. After some time, she revealed the truth to him.” Weston called me.” When he heard this, Justin’s face sank. “Get in the car,” he urged firmly, his fingertips softly tapping on the driving wheel. “Hold on.” He stopped her after remembering something. He stepped out of the car and went beside her, opening the passenger door for her. Stella got into the car, bending slightly. Justin’s hand was on her head, keeping her from bumping into the car roof. Once she was seated, he shut the door and walked to the driver’s seat. He turned to help her buckle up when he was inside the vehicle.
Seeing that the hair beside her cheek was a little messy, he reached out to help her put it behind her ear and softly squeezed her face, saying, “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”
She wasn’t sure if it was because of his age, but Justin made her feel safe and secure.
“I wanted to take you for a ride tonight, but. Bryce is on his school holiday now, and I promised him I’d pick him up from school. Shall we have dinner together later?” he said, returning to his position. Bryce was his son from his previous marriage. Stella was stunned. “I’m meeting him so soon?” She was a little nervous and taken aback by this. “I’m not ready yet…”
“You don’t have to get ready for anything. Just be yourself, and he’ll like you.” Justin softly stroked her hand. “Don’t be afraid. Bryce is a mature teen who is easy to get along with. You two will get along well.” “Really?” She gave him a tight-lipped grin, unable to express how she felt on the inside.
Justin assumed she was just nervous, so he didn’t say anything and drove away. As the two of them were driving slowly, they didn’t realize that a black car was following them.
