1735 Words
After paying the deposit, she was left with less than 500 Dollars. There was nearly a month to wait before the next salary. Now that she was pregnant, she had to pay attention to her nutrition intake too. Although the situation was difficult, when she thought of her daughter, she felt that everything was worth it. She went to her room, dragging her suitcase behind her. After roughly tidying up, she used her mobile phone to search for a part-time job. …... The next day. As soon as she entered the company, she felt several strange looks directed at her, but she ignored them. As soon as she logged onto , she found that someone sent her a message. Cassie asked, "Stella, you didn't come to the company for three days, nor did you reply to my messages. I'm so anxious. Did something happen to you?" She scrolled upwards, then she replied after reading the messages sent by Cassie Bryant over the past two days. “I was sick, but I've recovered. My phone was switched off as I forgot to charge it.” Soon, Cassie replied saying, "Oh, I see. They are also spreading rumors that you got pregnant before getting married and went to the hospital to get rid of it. The rumors in the company are worse than cyber bullying." Cassie and Stella both worked in the same company. Because they were of the same age, they were quite close. However, their relationship was not close enough that they would talk about their private lives. While Stella was staring at the message and pondering how to reply, someone suddenly knocked on her table twice. Then, she looked up. Her superior, Sherry Smith, was standing at the table. She had a very good figure and was showing it off by wearing a tight dress, displaying her voluminous curves. "Stella, come to my office." Okay Stella stood up and followed Sherry into the office. As soon as the door to the office was closed, the office instantly became lively, even the tea room was instantly filled with people. Compared with the liveliness outside, the mood in the office was particularly depressing. Sherry walked around the desk and went back to her seat. "I don't want to comment on your private life, but your matters have seriously affected the work of your colleagues. What are you planning to do?" Stella asked, "Are you asking me to voluntarily resign?" Sherry nodded. "You can take it that way." Stella’s heart sank. If circumstances allowed, she would quit her job whenever she wanted to, but now, she was pregnant and needed this job. "Sherry, my colleagues are gossiping about me. I am the victim, but you want to dismiss me. Isn’t this unfair to me?" Sherry looked at her and replied, "If I wanted to dismiss you, the one talking to you would be the company’s human resources department. I'm just discussing how to solve the problem with you." "Of course, there is another way to solve the rumors as soon as possible. You can either marry the child's father, or you can prove that you are not pregnant. As long as you can eliminate the rumors." Sherry didn't know who the child's father was, but Stella did. To put it bluntly, she had to either marry Edward or resign. In the end, Stella compromised. "I can resign, but can you let me stay for another two weeks? My project is about to end." Sherry answered, "Three days at most. I'll arrange for a designer to take over the project you are in charge of, the clients will also be taken care of." "Okay." When she came out of the office and went back to her seat, she noticed that the designer who was taking over her project had already joined the chat group. She stared at the computer with her mind buzzing. She went blank for a moment. However, the new designer did not give her any time to feel sad or to hesitate. He was already asking her for the details of her project on f*******:. In the afternoon, Stella was still handing over her work. In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. She packed up and got off work. It just so happened, at that moment, Edward came out of the chairman's office. With a glance, he saw Stella standing at the door of the elevator, waiting for the elevator. Bruce saw it too. Mr. Thomas, who was the president of Joy Group, led the way for Edward. "Mr. Benz, we had a good talk today. I hope that the acquisition will be carried out as soon as possible." The other directors behind them all agreed. Edward was surrounded by the crowd as he walked to the president's private elevator. When they arrived at the elevator, the president's elevator stopped on the top floor. The guest's elevator just so happened to arrive as well. Bruce took the opportunity to speak. "Mr. Benz, there's still something you need to do. Let's take the guest’s elevator instead." Edward nodded and turned around to say goodbye. "Mr. Thomas, I'm looking forward to cooperating with you." Edward implied that they would definitely cooperate. Mr. Thomas excitedly and carefully shook his hand. Due to Edward's noble aura, the staff waiting outside the elevator all retreated to the side. Stella was also inside. When Edward entered the elevator, no one else dared to go in. Just as the elevator door was about to close, Bruce suddenly reached out and blocked the elevator door. He said to the people waiting outside. "It's Mr. Benz who has occupied your elevator. There's still space inside. You may come in." The girls, who were waiting for the elevator, were fangirling at Edward’s handsome face. When they heard that they could take the same elevator as him, they swarmed in. Stella was also pushed in. When she wanted to get off, the elevator door had already closed. As she looked up helplessly, she accidentally met Edward's eyes through the reflective wall of the elevator. Her heart skipped a beat. In the elevator, the girls didn't dare to make a sound as they shyly peeked at Edward. Only Sherry naturally stood next to Edward. When the elevator descended to the 12th floor, she suddenly spoke and broke the silence in the elevator. "Mr. Benz, I heard that you want to acquire our company. Is this true?" “Edward didn't turn around. His thin and beautiful lips parted slightly. "It's true." As he spoke, he kept looking at Stella. Stella avoided his gaze. Before getting out of the elevator, Sherry handed her business card to Edward in a generous manner. However, Edward only glanced at it and did not intend to reach out to take it. When the elevator door opened, he went straight out. Sherry was beautiful and had a good figure. The men around her were either rich or noble. She had never been treated like that before. She was livid when she walked out of the elevator. As Stella stood at the back, she only got off when almost everyone in the elevator got off. As soon as she reached the lobby, she saw Victor standing in the middle of the lobby with a bouquet of roses in his arms. She stopped instantly, and her expression darkened. In her previous life, Victor had also confessed to her with roses in his arms. He had come to her house to ask for her hand in marriage and said that he did not mind who the child belonged to. He would take care of it as his own. As a result, she was forced to get a marriage certificate. Thus, began the abuse that lasted four years. When her daughter was four years old, he lost control and killed her. Looking at Victor's face, the scene of him throwing their daughter against the wall appeared in her mind. The wave of anger in her heart rose swiftly. At that moment, Victor noticed her. He smiled and ran towards her. He called out, "Stella!" Edward, who was walking out of the building, suddenly stopped and turned to look at them with a cold frown. Many colleagues turned to look as well. Among them was also Sherry. Victor ran up to her, knelt down on one knee, and stretched out the roses in his hand to her. "I asked you several times where your company is, but you refused to tell me. I spent a lot of effort finding this place. I really like you. Can you be my girlfriend?" Stella tried her best to calm herself down. Her eyes were filled with coldness as she stared at Victor. "I'm pregnant." Victor was a little perplexed upon hearing that. "Do you think it's appropriate for you to confess your love to me in front of my child's father?" Victor's expression darkened when he heard that. He turned his head and looked around. Then, he looked back at Stella. "Stella, is it because I didn't tell you in advance that I was coming to the company to confess my love to you? Are you just saying that because you are angry? Okay, I admit what I did was wrong. Don't be angry with me, okay?" Stella ignored him. She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Edward. Fortunately, he had not left yet. Stella walked straight to his side, took his arm intimately, and whispered, "Help me." Edward turned around calmly and let go of her hand. "The price for my services is high." As her fingertips turned pale, Stella lowered her voice and whispered, "As long as you help me now, I will promise you anything." As soon as she finished speaking, Edward suddenly reached out, grabbed her hand, and interlocked with her fingers. Stella then composed herself, looked up at Victor, and exclaimed, "Mr. Stone, I know that you have a habit of stealing other people's girlfriends. Your previous girlfriends were also snatched from your own brothers." "Since you've snatched them, why don't you cherish them? Why do you still have to pursue a woman who is pregnant and has a husband? Don't be so shameless as to drag me down with you." “Wait, honey?” Edward turned to look at her and suddenly asked, "What did you call me?"
