There was a brief silence before the sound of Jeremy’s laugh echoed throughout.
“You don’t have to make up such a lie just to reject me, Stella.”
With a serious expression, Stella said, “Believe it or not, I am married. If you don’t have anything to say about the art exhibition, I’ll be leaving then.”

Jeremy took her silence positively.
Smiling smugly, he opened his drawer with his free hand, and took out a check and a contract.
He handed them to her, hinting with his eyebrows that she should take a look.

The offer was indeed quite tempting, but Stella was better than that.
“This money isn’t nearly enough.”
Jeremy thought she was finally on board and he smiled triumphantly.
“If you’re able to give me valuable information, you will certainly get way more than this. After all, this is only the beginning, right?”
Stella stared at him in bemusement. He looked so confident and determined.
