Chapter 27 A Rose with Thorns
Stella pursed her lips, not intending to argue with her.
Stella was about to walk around Ava, but Ava moved in front of her and blocked her.
"Don't think that I don't know what you're doing behind the scenes!" Ava said domineeringly, "Stella
Taylor, you know very well how you got the order!"
Stella turned to stare at her with big bright eyes that rippled with anger.
She usually wore a gentle smile and treated people around her kindly. She rarely showed such a cold
and serious expression.
But at this moment, Stella seemed to be a different person. Ava could not help but take two steps back.
"How did I get it?" She paused at every word, "I got it by my own ability! I stayed up all night for a week
and revised the sales plan countless times. Mr. Davis was very satisfied, so he signed and stamped it!
You haven't got it for three months, because you are incompetent! Instead of looking for reasons on
yourself, do you want to blame others for working harder than you?"
"Oh, you worked hard?" Ava stared at her even harder, "You worked hard by getting on the man's bed!
Do you think that you can do whatever you want if the director is on your side?"
"Ava Brown, watch your words! What does this have to do with the director? I hadn't even spoken
much to the director before I got this order!"
"Who knows? Hmph, you had not spoken in the office, but who knows how many times you had had
'in-depth communication' in private!"
"You..."
Stella was so angry that her face was flushed. The quarrel between them attracted many people to
watch.
A peacemaker wanted to separate the two of them, but Ava would not budge at all, and Stella was
unwilling to suffer this kind of humiliation for nothing and insisted on settling this in front of the director.
Daniel Clark hurried over when things came to a stalemate.
"This is the office, what are you two doing?!" Daniel snapped, "If you want to quarrel, go to the street.
Since you are in the office, you should work hard!"
Ava gave him an angry look, turned and left.
Stella stood where she was. Her lips were tightly pressed, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Daniel
dismissed the onlookers and pulled Stella aside.
"Don't be angry with Ava," His voice softened, "She has such a bad temper and an arrogant
personality. She can't compare to you this time, and she can't get over it."
"Even so, she can't insult others as she likes!"
"Yes, yes, it's all her fault!" Daniel narrowed his eyes, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth,
"Stella, I apologize to you for her."
He raised his hand and patted her shoulder while saying that. Stella came back to her senses and
quickly dodged.
She looked up and met Daniel's eyes. She could not help but feel eerie.
"No need..." she said in a low voice, "I know Ava is just upset because she lost the order, so I won't
take it to heart. But please tell her, if she insults me like this again in the future, I won't let it go!"
"Sure!"
Daniel's triangular eyes moved around, always focusing on Stella.
She usually looked quiet and soft, but when she argued with Ava just now, she was really like a rose
with thorns.
This kind of impact was new to Daniel, which made his heart itched even more.
"It's almost noon," He smiled, "Stella, I'll treat you to lunch as an apology, don't refuse!"
"No need," Stella looked calmly at him, "I brought my own food, so I don't want to go out for lunch."
"The leftovers from the night before?" Daniel curled his lips and lowered his voice deliberately, "Stella,
you are such a beautiful girl, so you shouldn't eat leftovers..."
"I only eat my own food," Stella stared squarely at him, "Mr. Clark, I will go back to work if there's
nothing else. You should go back to your office too lest Ava sees us talking alone and makes trouble
again."
"Stella, are you so unwilling to talk to me?"
Daniel insisted on pestering Stella. When he saw that being soft did not work, he made a new plan and
said to her with a soft smile, "Actually, I don't invite you alone at noon-there's a client!"
Stella stopped in her tracks, her eyes hesitating.
"It's a client from Freania. I checked and found that you were the only person in our company who Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
minored in Freaniese when you were in college. Am I right?"
Stella's eyes moved slightly, but she did not answer.
"Originally, this client is visiting tomorrow. But the flight has been changed and the interpreter I booked
is not available today, so... Stella, can you do me a favor?"
Stella wanted to refuse, but the company had limited foreign clients, and those who Daniel cared about
must be good ones.
If she did not go, they might lose a potential customer.
Moreover, Daniel was narrow-minded. If she did not go, it would be tantamount to disobeying his
orders, and he might make life difficult for her in the future.
Anyway, they were going to a restaurant, and Daniel would not dare to do anything indecent to her in
public.
"Stella," Daniel saw that she was wavering, and added in a timely manner, "If we get this deal, you will
get the commission. What do you think?"
