Chapter 588 He Purposely Upset Her
He kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and it tasted salty.
Stella slowly began to feel better as she asked, “What’s the time now?”
Bellamy looked at the watch on his wrist and said to her, “It’s 8. 10 p. m. right now. Are you feeling hungry?”
Stella nodded, “I’ll ask Lynette to send the food in here. Do you want to hide somewhere first?”
“No problem.”
Stella then called Lynette.
“Madam, are you feeling hungry? I’ll prepare the food right now,” Lynette answered.
“Yes. Please prepare a bigger portion.”
Lynette smiled and understood what she meant. After that, she hung up the call and went to prepare a sufficient amount of food. She knocked on the door before entering the library.
Stella opened the door. “Madam, here’s your dinner. I will bring the test papers that I have read for you later, and I have already categorized them to your liking. I will also bring some with me later when I leave, I think I’ll be able to do a few thousand more during the night,” Lynette said to her.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Also, the response to the report in the Education Bureau seems quite good, though they haven’t given their official feedback yet. What should we do next?” Lynette asked.
“Continue to publish more reports. Just ask those people whom we had sent to collect evidence from the schools to continue uploading them to the internet. You could compile them and send them to me via email, and I will contact Brayden Drake on my own.”
“Alright, I know what to do,” Lynette answered happily. She was glad that she had chosen to follow Stella because the work she did would always pay off.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
She then took a box full of test papers along with her on the way out.
Bellamy came out from his hiding place and reminded Stella, “You are targeting the entire Education Bureau now. I am afraid that the entire system will collapse. I don’t think that it would be a good idea.”
Stella paused for a moment and suddenly realized, “I was just thinking of creating some issues so that the Minister of Education would resign out of guilt. It reminded me of something now that you’ve said that.”
“I think that the situation now is already beneficial enough for us. What you have to do next is not to target the Ministry of Education, but the Minister himself. For example, does he have any transgressions, or does he make any mistakes during his term?”
Stella understood what he meant, “Alright, let’s do that then. I will get the Dark Shadow to help me with that.”
Stella immediately called Elvis Zachary and gave him a new set of orders.
Elvis was very enthusiastic to do his job because of Stella. Besides that, Stella had just increased the salary of everyone in the Dark Shadow by 3000 dollars.
Bellamy raised a smile.
He already knew that the Dark Shadow belonged to Jasper.
The Dark Shadow would only take commands from Jasper and him alone. They were loyal to a point where they would even refuse orders from the President.
However, they listened to Stella. This proved that she really had a certain level of influence.
He took a deep breath. The longer he was with Stella, the more he fell in love with her. This made him wonder whether twins would be more prone to fall in love with the same woman.
On Monday.
Eli woke up very early in the morning. However, she found that Sean had already left when she looked to her side.
She remembered that Sean had the habit of going running, just like Stella.
She chose a suit from her wardrobe and tied her hair up into a braid. After that, she did her makeup. She used a foundation that was one shade darker than her skin tone so that she would look more tanned. She then drew her brows and put on a darker shade of lipstick so that she would have a cooler look. Lastly, she put on some contour to make her features look more defined.
She would need to follow Sean around from today onward, so she might need to attend a lot of public events, especially the parade. She didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention or haters, so she decided to go for a more low-profile look.
She then left the room.
Meanwhile, Sean had just come back from his run. He was shocked when he saw Eli, and he said to her, “Did you just crawl out from a coal mine? Why do you look so dark?”
Eli rolled his eyes at him, “Can’t you say something nice to me in the morning? This is known as the smoky-eye look.”
Sean chuckled and answered, “It is supposed to be smoky-eyes, but you have a smoky-face.”
He paused for a while, then continued, “Don’t tell me that your whole body is smoky…”
Eli ignored him. She sat at the dining table and held her face with both her hands.
Sean walked toward Eli instead of heading to the bathroom to take a shower. He stared at her face and said, “What kind of brows are these? You are already not that good-looking normally, now it’s worse after you put on makeup.”
Eli frowned and said, “Yes, I am so ugly. Just leave me alone and go to your wife then, since she is so much more beautiful than me.”
Sean’s face turned cold, then he turned away and walked upstairs.
Eli thought that she should be the one to be angry.
Why must he be so mean to her? Her mood was already affected first thing in the morning.
She didn’t care that he was angry, and she went into the kitchen to look for some food. She said to the chef, “Hey handsome, do you have any food here? I’m hungry.”
“Yes, it is ready for you. I will bring it out,” the chef answered respectfully.
“Thank you,” Eli said politely. She then sat at the dining table and waited for him to serve the breakfast. He then brought some pancakes, a glass of milk, and a sunny side up egg for her.
“Let me know if you would like to have more,” the chef said to her.
“Thank you. This should be enough. I really like your cooking. It tastes really good,” Eli praised him.
The chef smiled and walked into the kitchen to continue with his work.
After Eli was done with her meal, she saw Sean and Yvonne coming down the stairs. It seemed that they were discussing something.
They looked like such a perfect match.
She quickly finished the last pancake then walked toward the door.
Sean’s face turned even colder, then he frowned and asked her, “Where are you going?”
Eli glanced at him and said, “I am going out to take a walk. I wouldn’t want my look to ruin your appetite. Call me when you are leaving.”
She walked away before Sean could respond.
Sean was upset, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
“What happened there? Did you two get into a fight?” Yvonne asked softly.
“I told her that she didn’t look good with the makeup,” he answered.
“No woman likes to be called ugly. You should apologize to her later. I think that she will be fine after that,” Yvonne said with a smile.
Sean reflected on himself. In fact, he had gotten angry because Eli would bring up Yvonne whenever they argued.
He already explained to her countless times that he and Yvonne had nothing between them and that they didn’t have real feelings for each other.
However, Eli would tell him to go back to Yvonne repeatedly.
He didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment, but he got upset after hearing her words. Perhaps he felt that she was being unreasonable.
However, now that he had thought about it, since when had Eli ever been reasonable?
“I will go and check on her,” he said to Yvonne and walked toward the door without even eating his breakfast first.
Yvonne looked at his back and a strange light flashed in her eyes. After a while, she looked back down again.
Sean soon found Eli by the lake. She was standing at the side and throwing stones into the lake.
