Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 45:.

If Adrian had kept Uncle RK’s phone number a secret and had contacted him behind Stella’s back, she knew it

was only a matter of tbefore she was discovered. No, she couldn't let that happen.

Of course, Adrian understood Stella’s intentions! She didn’t want him to get close to Uncle RK, nor did she want

him to have any contact with him. Now, she probably wanted to check her phone to delete Uncle RK’'s number.

Adrian looked at her with a genuine and sincere expression on his little face. “Honey, | gave my phone number to

the guy, but I don’t have his number,” Adrian said innocently, as if he knew exactly what Stella meant by asking

for his number.

He added, “Even if | had his number, | wouldn't have contacted him without asking you first. But really, | don’t

have the guy’s number.”

Stella looked at his little face, seeing how honest he was, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so she herself

did not check her phone. Since Adrian didn’t have RK’s number, the initiative was still in her hands. “Forget

about it, Adrian. Just remember to stay away from that guy.”

“Why?” asked Adrian curiously. “Honey, | think the guy really likes you. He even calls you ‘Honey’.”

Stella pinched his little nose and said, “You're still too little to understand things between adults. It's getting late;

go to bed.”

However, having chatted with RK for a long tbefore, Adrian felt full of energy. It was late and he wasn’t

sleepy at all. So he took the opportunity to ask the questions that were weighing on his little heart.

“Darling! Why didn’t you tell uncle that | am your son? Don’t you loveanymore? Do you think | will be a

burden to you? Is that why you didn’t tell uncle that you have a son?”.

Adrian continued, “Honey, you really like Uncle, don’t you? Are you worried that if you tell him abouthe'll

stop liking you? You must really like him.”

The little boy expressed all his thoughts aloud. For a moment, Stella didn’t know what to say.

She didn’t know how to explain the complicated relationship between adults to her son. To be honest, she didn’t

want her precious son to get caught up in the squabbling between adults. So Stella picked up the chattering

child and headed to her room.

Along the way, he warned her, “Don’t ask too many questions. Remember, you can’t meet that guy or say

anything to him. Or I'll get angry.”

“Honey, how can you say that? You have no conscience!” protested Adrian, kicking his little legs. “The guy risked

his life to save you, and yet you talk about him like that! How can you be so cold and heartless?”.

The little boy spoke in a very elegant way, something unexpected for his age. But the expression on his face was

so serious that it made his words seem even funnier. Stella didn’t pay much attention to the boy’s questions.

She laid the little boy on his soft bed, turned off the lights, closed the door and left him alone inside.

Inside the darkened room, Adrian felt the pain of being abandoned and ignored. “Stinking honey! She doesn’t

likeanymore. In the future, when she marries Uncle, she'll probably forget about me. What if Darling and

Uncle have a baby? Then... I'd be even less favored! Ahhh! The world is so cold and lonely!”

The next morning at the RK Group, after her face-to-face meeting with the project department team, Stella was

directly appointed secretary to the president. In an instant, she was transferred from the project department to

the secretariat.

The secretary's office was next to the president's office, which made it convenient to get there as quickly as

possible.

Stella had much more free tin the secretariat than in the project department. In short, she didn’t usually

have much to do in the secretary's office. In the secretarial department, however, no one wanted to talk to her.

Although, after Stella moved there, she didn’t hear anyone gossiping about her, she had the feeling that the

women in the office were watching her. Every tshe tried to do something, she felt countless pairs of eyes on

her!

“Stella, these are the documents the president needs to sign today. Take them to his office.” The chief clerk said

brusquely, placing a stack of documents on Stella's desk as she was about to sit down. Without waiting for her

consent, the secretary left.

“Hey, Stella!” Someone sitting at the table next to hers tapped her on the shoulder. “I hear you're having an

affair with the president.

Is it true?” asked the heavily made-up woman sitting next to her. She seemed to represent the entire secretarial

department because as soon as she asked, everyone in the department looked at her.

They all seemed to want to know. They gathered around Stella, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Stella felt embarrassed. “What are you talking about? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“How can it be nonsense, the whole company knows that you are having an affair with the president! Last time,

when you were harassed in the company, didn’t he help you and transfer you directly to the secretary? If you're

having an affair with the president, why would he meddle in other people's affairs?”

“Yes, if anything happens, you can tell us. We promise not to say another word,” someone added.

Stella was speechless. They won't tell anyone.... It would be a miracle if they didn’t spread the word! In Stella

wanted to deny it before taking the documents to the president's office, but surrounded by a group of women

looking at her as if she were a zoo exhibit, she decided to leave quickly.

She grabbed the documents and hurried out.

At the door to the president's office, Stella stood outside, reluctant to enter. She didn’t want to see RK’s face.

After all, her return to the country was just an accident. There were still a lot of people and things in this city she

didn’t want to deal with. That's why, even though they worked at the scompany, Stella tried her best to

avoid him.

She knew they could never be together.

However, when he returned to the country, fate wanted him to face everything he had avoided for six years. It

seemed that wherever she went, she would end up running into him. She could meet him every day.

“Knock, knock.” Stella raised her hand and knocked twice on the door. After waiting a moment, she heard a deep

voice from inside, “Cin.”

As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by an unexpected scene. Sophia was sitting on RK'’s lap.

Perhaps she had disturbed them because they hadn't had tto straighten their clothes.

RK’s collar was slightly open, but Sophia's clothes were even more disheveled. It didn’t take too much thought to

figure out what they were doing.

Last night, this man pretended he didn’t even have a girlfriend in front of his grandmother.

Last night, he pretended to be nice in front of Adrian, and today, Stella felt disgusted. Was he keeping her in the

company and in this town just so she could witness the relationship between him and Sophia? Was this like six

years ago?

Six years ago, she had been a fool. She had married this man, thinking that sooner or later, he would fall in love

with her. But now, six years later...

“RK, these are the documents you asked for,” Stella put them on her desk. “If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.”

Stella did her best not to look at Sophia. Her upper body, apart from her bra, was all cinched up around her

waist.

The two of them must have been very intimate right now. Sophia wasn’t looking at her properly; she was looking

at her as if she knew Stella was coming into the office and had deliberately disturbed them.

Stella avoided looking at Sophia. She didn’t want to see the smug expression on her face, knowing full well what

had just happened in the office. Stella didn’t wait for RK’s response.

She left the documents on her desk and turned to leave, anxious to get out of there. She didn’t want to stay

there for a minute.

“Wait...” The man’s voice called from behind her. It was sharp, almost as if he was scolding her. His voice was

strong and gravelly. As soon as he finished speaking, it was like an order given by a king! No one dared to

disobey him.

Stella stopped dead in her tracks. “Mr. Kingston, is there anything else?” she asked coldly, without turning

around.

She didn’t want to look at the two people behind her. She felt distressed, uncomfortable, and aggrieved. She felt

as if someone had played a cruel joke on her last night. It was clear he had a fiancée, why did he get involved

with her?

Why did he keep saying those ambiguous words, making her misunderstand him? Did he enjoy seeing her

deceived?

“Miss Richard, bringa cup of coffee in five minutes.” His voice was serene as always. Anyone hearing it

would think it was just a boss giving orders to his employee, nothing more, nothing like last night.

God only knew how much he wanted to disappear right there. | wanted to disappear completely from the RK

Group and X City, because the feeling of being ordered around like that was unbearable.

He frowned and replied coldly, “Understood.” And he slammed the door shut with a loud bang. This damn man!

He was a cheat. He had a fiancée, but he still interfered in her life from tto tand said those ambiguous

words!

This man was a bastard! Last night, she kindly bought him medicine and washed his pants.... She was stupid.

She should have let this stinking man leave with his injured hand. It was better if his hand got infected.

Then he wouldn't have the strength to hold a woman!

Stella stormed into the pantry. At first, she didn’t want to make coffee for the insufferable man, but it was still

office hours and, unfortunately, he was her boss. As much as she despised him, she had to follow his orders. |

had no choice but to make him coffee.

Just as she was about to take the coffee to the president's office, she noticed an employee in the office eating

breakfast. Stella borrowed a bag of chili paste from the other party and mischievously poured the entire bag into

the coffee.
