Chapter 120
She wanted to douse Yorick with another glass of water, only to find the glass was empty.
With a loud bang, she slammed it on the desk and stood up, “Wait here for a sec.”
Leaving those words behind, Stella strode confidently towards the office door.
Yorick watched her leave, frowning, puzzled about what she was up to, but he decided to wait as she had asked.
He was curious to see what kind of explanation she would come up with. Yeah, that was what Yorick thought.
He figured his words had been too sharp, too aggressive, and Stella needed a moment to cool off.
After taking a breather, she would come back with a reasonable explanation.
Stella emerged from the office, Tabitha approached her respectfully, “Boss.”
Stella headed straight for the restroom, grabbing the mop bucket commonly used by the janitors. The bucket was still full of dirty water, and Stella carried it towards the office.
Seeing this, Tabitha hurriedly offered to help, “Boss, what do you need the bucket for? Let me carry it for you. That water was just used by the janitor to clean the toilets; it wasn’t meant for hands.”
“No need, keep doing your thing.”
From the tone of her boss‘ voice, it seemed like the situation was not great.
Knowing that Yorick was in the office, Tabitha had a pretty good idea of what Stella intended to do with that bucket of water.
In the office.
Yorick saw Stella enter so quickly, “Cooled off already?”
As soon as he finished, he noticed the bucket in her hands. A bad feeling washed over him.
The next moment, with a splash, he was drenched, cold water making him shiver.
With a loud thud, Stella slammed the bucket onto the floor.
Yorick roared in anger, “Stella!”
This damn woman!
Now, he was soaking wet, water dripping from his hair, making it hard for him to even keep his eyes open.
And what was that smell? It was awful.
Yorick furiously wiped his face, glaring at Stella with pure rage.
Stella crossed her arms, “Feeling awake now? Anything else you don’t understand?”
Yorick glared back at her furiously.
If looks could kill, Yorick would have devoured her right then and there.
Seeing Yorick too angry to speak, Stella repeated, “Anything else you don’t get? Next time, it won’t just be cold water, it’ll be boiling hot.”
Questioning her like this? If she didn’t show these people a lesson, would they really think Stella was a pushover?
Yorick was left speechless, never having been treated this way before. From his childhood, partly due to the influence of the Quarry family, and later as he took over the Quarry Group, wasn’t everyone respectful towards him?
This woman…
“I’ll see your studio shut down!”
Yorick roared as he stood up. His whole demeanor exuded intimidation, trying to pressure Stella.
But Stella remained unfazed, “We’ll see if you can actually do that.”
Intimidation met with defiance!
Yorick’s eyes could have sparked flames, but facing Stella’s fearlessness, his fire seemed to be doused completely.
“I’ll get you for this!”
With those parting words, Yorick stormed out, full of rage.
NA
Behind him, Stella’s disdainful ‘tsk‘ sound made his departure even colder, intensifying his resolve to not rest until he had brought her
