Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417

The room was dimly lit while the curtains were closed, seemingly out of concern of disturbing Stella’s sleep. 

She rubbed her eyes, shrugged off her blanket, and rose to her feet. 

The instant she left the breakroom, someone promptly approached her. “Ah! You’re awake, Miss Steele.” 

Hearing Ben’s voice, Stella paused for a moment before looking at him. “How did I get here?” 

“You fell asleep in the car, so Mr. Ford carried you up here.” 

Stella was naturally acquainted with Ben, since he was the one who had taken care of matters when she and Roger Sealey assumed new identities. It was obvious that Weston trusted him very much, or he would not have left her with Ben. Taking a seat on a couch and having a drink, she asked, “Is Weston having a meeting?” “Yes,” Ben replied. “However, he will probably be done soon, and he is hoping to go home with you.” 

With that, Ben passed her a tablet, obviously having arranged something for her to do in the meantime. “You can ask me directly if you have any request. Everyone in the secretaries’ office outside are people that Mr. Ford trusts, so you don’t have to feel constrained.” Stella nodded, but she still felt uncomfortable since she did not expect Weston to take her to his office. Was he really not worried that others would find out? However, Ben seemed to read her mind, and assured her, “You don’t have to worry too much, Miss Steele–just leave it to Mr. Ford.” 

Still, Ben found sympathy for the harshness of her situation even as he watched her. 

“Mr. Ford, there’s a report here…” Daisy spoke as she stepped through the door, and paused 

when she found Stella inside. 

“Excuse me, but you are…?” Stella quickly sprang to her feet, while Daisy straightened and said, “I’m Daisy, Mr. Ford’s private secretary. Are you his guest?” Though Stella’s presence caught Daisy by surprise, she soon regained her composure and shook her hand in greeting, before speaking politely, “I’m sorry, but this is Mr. Ford’s private office. You should wait at the guest room up front if you have business with him…” It was obvious she thought that Stella was your average intruder who had snuck into Weston’s office, which was why she was asking Stella to leave. She had only seen too many women who came to fawn over Weston using work as an excuse, and she was already being quite restrained. In the end, even if Weston Ford, the most powerful man of Ahn City, was beyond everyone’s reach, there were still those who hoped to seize that almost nonexistent chance to shoot for the skies. 

Nonetheless, just as the air in the room turned awkward, Ben rushed into the room, “Why are you in here, Daisy?” “I have a report…” Daisy was surprised to see Ben, and turned back toward Stella. “And this lady…” Ben scowled right then. “You’re done here. Please step outside, and ask for permission the next time you come in.”
