Episode 3

“ Are you done staring at me?” The man asked Stella in a cold voice. She stood up quickly and apologized, “ I’m so sorry sir, I didn’t do it on purpose.” The man looked at his suit with coffee, his face became more scary, and he pointed to his suit, “ I have a meeting to attend in a hour, how can I go like this?” His voice has made Stella starts shivering without even realize it herself.

What should I do? Stella is thinking what do to, but suddenly, “ Is there any problem here?” Liza asked.

“ Are you the boss?” The man asked. “ Yes I am.” Liza replied. “ Your worker has spilled the coffee onto my suit on purpose, and I have a meeting to go in a hour.” The man said coldly.

“ I didn’t do it on purpose!” Stella shouted at him. “ I tripped over something so I lose my balance!” She can’t stand someone just said she do something on purpose without any proofs.

“ Sir, there is a store that sells suits right over there.” She pointed to the store’s direction. “ Will you please forgive my worker for this?” Liza pointed to the camera as she said to the man.

Don’t even try to hurt Stella! Liza said in her mind.

The man become more angry, he pulled out a card and put it on the table as he leaves. He gave Stella a death look that says,

You won’t get away from this! Which makes Stella to start shivering even more.

After the man left, Liza had told everyone to get out then closed the cafe immediately, she hugged Stella to comfort her, “ It’s alright now. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” She patted Stella’s head.

I won’t let the same thing happened to you! Liza always make that promise to herself every time when Stella gets hurt, because two years ago Stella had been raped by some strangers as a price for accidently broke one of their watches. Liza was the one who saved her. That was the first time Liza met Stella and saw her being hurt like that.

Stella hugged Liza back, “ Thank you.” she said to Liza. After for a while, Liza told Stella wait for her outside, when Stella nodded and went outside. Liza picked up the card that was left by the man. As she reads,

Luce, CEO of Business Company.

I won’t let you do anything to get close to Stella for any reason. Liza said to herself in her mind.

After the meeting, Luce went to his office immediately and called his secretary to his office. A moment after, there is a knock on the door, “ Come in.” Luce said.

Anthony, Luce’s most trusted secretary, “ You called for me boss?” he asked. Luce handed him the photo of a cafe he went to this morning, “ Search this cafe’s worker information and give it to me in three hours.” Luce said coldly.

“ What for?” Anthony asked Luce.

To let her pay for what she had done to my suit! Luce said in his mind. “ Nothing, just do what I asked you to do.” After Luce dismissed Anthony. He pulled out a photo from his drawer. It’s a photo with only him and his mother when he was little. That suit is the only thing that can remind him of his mother, because his mother made that suit for his 10 years old birthday before she passed away due to stomach cancer.

After a hour, Anthony came to Luce’s office with a file, “ Boss, here is the information you asked for the cafe worker.” As Luce opened the file,

Stella… We will meet again soon. Luce flipped through the file of Stella’s information, and he realized something weird. “ Are these all of her information?” He asked Anthony. “ Yes, these are all of her information.”

There is no way she has these less backgrounds. There must be more. Luce starts to get interest in Stella’s identity.
