Loving A STRANGER Chapter 381
Advertisement
Seeing her boss coldly looking at her again, she almost escaped from the office with the pillow.
Dinah wasn't afraid of his cold face at all and reached out her arms to hug his neck. "What have you been busy dealing with these days? You haven't come home for a couple of days."
"Couldn't you see it?" Stephen pointed at the pile of documents on the table.
He just took over his family's business and was occupied by work all day. Although he had a double master's degree, he had little practical experience in doing business.
However, he was born to be a person who refused to admit defeat. In order not to let Adolph and the Cecil family down, he had been working quite hard to do his job better.
"Well, I can help you if you need," Dinah said.
"What can you do to help me?" Stephen looked at her with disdain.
Dinah said with a smile, "I can help you organize the bookcase." Saying that she got off Stephen's legs and walked to the bookcase on the other side of this office.
It was finally quiet again in this CEO's office, and Stephen continued to read each report.
When Stephen felt a little tired and moved his shoulders to relax them, he remembered Dinah was still here all of a sudden. Dinah was always talkative. Why was she so quiet today?
Stephen turned around and saw Dinah organizing the books in the bookcase with a serious face.
Dinah knew it clearly that Stephen had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He put things in certain positions, and nobody could change one centimeter of them. The books in his bookcase were placed in alphabetical order so that he could find the book he needed for the first time.

However, in this office, it was rare to see his habits. Without any doubt, he must be super busy these days.
Since Dinah couldn't help him with his work, she at least could help him place the books in the right order.
Seeing the girl who always behaved like a naughty child suddenly became so serious placing the books according to the alphabet, there was a corner of Stephen's heart quietly falling.
His eyesight became a little gentle and took another document to read.
His secretary was quite astonished today, but luckily she wasn't fired.
She kept working and paid attention to the CEO's office at the same time.
If her boss really hated the woman, he should have already chased her away. If the woman was really her boss's wife, and they just have conflicts, for the time being, they should be arguing now. Why was it so quiet?
She couldn't figure it out.
After a while, she decided to check it herself. If she could figure out the woman's relationship with her boss, she would know how to deal with the woman in the future.
Thinking of that, she prepared two cups of coffee.
"Mr. Cecil, do you want some coffee?" She knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in."
She pushed the door open and put the cups of coffee down on the table. Nevertheless, she only saw her boss alone in the office.
"The lady..." When she just opened her mouth, Stephen shook his hand to interrupt her. "Keep your voice low."
He pointed ahead, and she turned to look over.
Jesus! She was greatly surprised again.
The woman who had pretended to be pregnant now was sleeping on the sofa with her boss's suit coat covering her body.
Did it prove that they were really a couple?

In order not to let Kylie eat outside, Ethan specially arranged for someone to make a kitchen in the presidential suite.
Faith was busy cooking in the kitchen right now, and Lucas was helping her aside.
"Stop eating!" Faith hit Lucas's hand.
Lucas drew his hand back at once and said with a broad smile, "I need to taste its favor."
"You almost ate all of it!" Faith said. "When Lord Ethan comes later and chases us away to dine out, you must pay the bill!"
"No problem," Lucas said, and quickly stole a shrimp from the pot. It was very hot, so he was shouting in pain, but still peeled it before throwing it into his mouth.
Kylie was surfing on the Internet at this time. She wanted to know how many famous actors and directors would attend the International Film Festival this year.
She was mentally-prepared to have no awards, but she still hoped to expand her network as an actress.
At first glance, she saw a famous Hollywood director.
"Mr. Keys!" Kylie exclaimed with shock. "I wish I could meet him."
"Who?" Lucas walked to her, shaking his hand along the way to cool his hot finger down. "Monty Keys?"
"Yeah, he'll attend the festival this year too," Kylie said and turned the screen of the computer to face Lucas. "I wonder what film he brings with him this time."
"He's a very famous international director!" Lucas also admired Monty Keys.
"I love his West Cowboy so much!" Kylie said.
"It's not easy to make friends with him." Lucas pulled his lips.
Kylie didn't want to ride on anyone's coattails, but just wanted to make friends with him, so she began to read the life of Director Keys to know more about him.
Even if they couldn't be friends, she hoped to have more common topics when she met him.
When she just finished her notes, Sally called her.
"How do you feel now, Sally?" Kylie asked with excitement.
"Not bad, Doctor Cecil gave me an ointment to remove the scar, and it's very effective." Sally's voice sounded very happy. "My husband also said my skin is even better now after the surgery."
"I feel so happy for you." Kylie almost cried.
She didn't expect Stephen was so warm-hearted under his cold face.
"Kylie, thank you so much for your help!" Sally said.
"My pleasure. It's no big deal."
"Probably it's no big deal in your eyes, but you've saved my life. Kylie, please remain so kind and helpful forever."
Kylie smiled. "I feel flattered now."
"Ha-ha." Sally also laughed. "I heard from Director Miller that you're going to attend the International Film Festival? Congratulations!"

Eusocial
There's a reason people made the word improbable. Just because something would never happen based on common sense or reason, doesn't mean it can't happen. For example, a soul maintaining their memories through the River of the afterlife, a stream of ethereal energies that remove and store memories from the recently departed only to return when they die again. Another example, a soul by it's sheer will maintaining awareness during the process of a new body's development; nearly infintesimile chances of happening, but there is still a chance. Hi, you can call me Esseu (S U) and I managed to do both of those nearly impossible things back to back. My reward for such a feat? I was turned into a glorified bee keeper.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
